indecision nags
while options tease with allure
waiting is anguish...

White mist drapes the col

bitter cold nags at my face ~

black grouse lekking....

I like it here
Where there’s no one who nags
Where there is no fun
Just relaxation
Waiting for tomorrow to come...

A clerk nags her workers all day
Until her face got stuck in some clay
Knew pottery was produce
She called for a truce
Then gave them a joyful playday...

What is this thing that nags your mind
And robs your hopes until you’re blind?
It owns you now. It owns you next.
It drains your soul until you’re vexed.

Your life becomes a money wreck
From sleepless nights filled full of frets.
It grows and grows until you scream,
"ENOUGH! ENOUGH! GIVE BACK MY DREAMS!”

What does one do with an irritable muse?
One that nags throughout the night and day.
Listen to her feelings, accept her abuse?
I follow her blind, I'm led by her sway.
She shows me the light and the subtle hues,
alive with the joy of black, white and gray.
I know; to learn a love is in my fate,
the one I marry will be the one I hate....

I never met a better fella 
until I met Ella
Ella was finer than Esther
but stronger than Joshua.

She's gat crude swags
both in the way she sags.
Her mother who often nags
would burn masculine stuff from her bags.

Her handshakes are so loud
like a clap in the midst of silent crowd.
Her hair, always bound,
like ponytail and it makes her sound....

An inhospitable truth I have
   To carry throughout my life
That must stay buried in my heart –
   What a terrible truth!

It dances on my tongue
   When I feel somebody knows.
On the scale of history – it nags –
   On a bone – it gnaws.

It’s the shadow that follows
   My genetic path incurably.
It shall follow me into death
   And be the Ghost beside me....

We cowboys on this side of the pond
  Get out of bed with boots and spurs on
To ride our bucking bronco golden stallions
  As you mount your nags on the weak side of the ocean

Yes, we snicker as you call elevators 'lifts'
  And your truckers call a semi a 'lorry'
But daring to call a cop or a smokey a 'bobby' ~
  Odds bodkins, bloke! Please say that you're sorry!...

he’s not the winner of any
popularity contest
his closest ones
resent him
he’s aloof
likes his privacy
doesn’t crave their company
his friends are sparse
and far between
he’s the
annoying reminder
that their life feels empty
and without passion
that nags
at
them quietly
in the middle of the night

Weary days drag
A heavy shag
That ever nags


Sense lost cause
Watch death pause
In empty toss


Know your fear
Feel it clear
Poise strings cheer


Go on now
You know how
Poise endows


Feel faith leap
In strange sleep
In dream deep


Dare once more
From soul core
Like before


Love funds play
On this day
Come what may


Discern well
What love tells
To cast spells

We reach 
The beach

Nice spot
Sand's hot

Flies swarm
Water's warm

Surfers crave
Big wave

We wish
no jellyfish

We learn
sun burn

hot sun
have fun

slip on
a shirt

slap on 
a hat

slop on
sun screen

Dogs invite 
shark bite

mum nags 
swim between flags

HOLIDAY FUN

Halloween evening
Fright night

Seasons Greetings
Merry………  had a little lamb

New Years Eve
Kiss Bliss

Fourth July
Sparks Fly...
