A rose amid thorns,
A cactus in desert,
A creation in derision,
A song of beauty
Born in adversity!!...

Its flaming pages now expire
Its passion’s fled
Is the muse dead
Or trying to light another fire

Listen to poem:

a frown is a smile
with naughty corners of mouth
dragged down, to half-mast.
stop wallowing in the mire ~
flip your lips to all ends up...

stopped smiling years ago
lost in the wiry mire of cell phones
now they're wearing N95s
now I can pretend they're still

alive...

A creature crawled from 'neath the mire,
And centuries and centuries hence,
You see him in York Minster's spire....

Feeling uninspired
Walking the mire
Out of my bones
From drugs at last
Sickle not seen
Or ivory cast
Baby I’m blessed
You I will not get past...

strummed my mysterious heart 
with needled fingers 
scrubbed my deluded mind
stranded me, in a deep mire

The spire of our church caught on fire
So the Bishop sang with the choir
When out of the mire
A voice would enquire,
"Who on earth is that two-faced liar?"...

Trump To Be Liar Does Desire

Among all of the much and much mire,
Trump's biggest desire is being a liar;
Far or near,
Pain in rear;
He should eventualy retire and expire.

Cleared away mire and started to aspire;
Goals started growing higher and higher;
Though am inept,
Mission did accept;
While we wish Trump would soon expire.

and went hot on the prowl.
thick fog in contrast
The Demon Hound howled.

There was no way out.
Those tracks on the mire
Meant Stapleton had drowned....

A weakling or someone with strength and pomp?
How deep in the mire must this one go
To effect a change from the muck we know?
To drain a swamp, takes grit and a STOMP!...

Straits That Are Dire

Can be many straits that are dire
Would not recognize in their entire
Cause was for purpose that is lost
Too high and refused to pay cost;
World full of more muck and mire.

Christmas Wish
By Rick Rucker

Christmas does always bring
A warmth, egg nog, and a fire,
This year, I wish to give a ring
To The One that awoke desire
And saved me from the Deadly Mire!

Quick like fire
Burning desire
Is a pseudo-sire
Playing a lyre
Breaking a wire
By greased tire
Stepping in mire
Looking at a pyre
It’s all looking dire
Quick like fire
Burning desire

Pal a boola fire

Fling fling fling

Balla Boola Mire
Ling ling ling

Sometimes meandering 
Through glass & mire
My feet leave me 
Dancing in the fire
Searching for what I'll never find
Darkness follows close behind
Scarlet pain & twisted sanity
Leave me broken
Longing for certainty....
