we must credit with the first ever Tomahawk Dunk
in between riffs
he was in no way discouraged by his occasional whiffs.

May you be honed
and strengthened
by the humiliation
of occasional defeat.
Yet, in triumph,
may you shun urges
of chest-thumping
arrogance and conceit!

travelers waiting
busy terminal buzzes
loud piped in music
occasional temper flares
late departure time announced
written June 8, 2021
Rough roads
Occasional vomiting
And crying by weary child
Deadly tailback
Terrain becomes pretty
Rapidly relaxing
Into destination

There was a furniture dealer named Maurice
Who acquired items for the Nouveau Riche.
Most popular by far,
The back seat of a car
Which they use for an occasional piece.
Obtain and Gain Grain
When you want to grow and obtain,
Wheat and will be able to sustain,
Care for field,
For good yield;
Often nice to have occasional rain.
Jim Horn
Hair in the shower, a sink full of dishes,
Sharing our dreams and a fistful of wishes.
Occasional tiffs that our love guides us through,
Are a few of the things I offer to you.
To the depth of my soul, I'm in love with life
Whether filled with joy or occasional strife
The good, the bad
Happy or sad
Too bad we don't get to go around twice
This rose will surely die
Just as surely
my love for you never will
Sad and dry
this occasional bloom
But I can still smile
knowing petrified love
is still absolute beauty
Another day and I'm still riding my camel
Get there eventually avoiding life's hassles
Slow but sure
Avoid detours
Occasional temptations your ideals get trampled
Sifting slurry through my word sieve
occasional bright flashes give hope
but there is so much dross and the
yellow flakes in my quicksilver amalgam
may be naught but fool’s gold.
One day at a time --
one foot in advance of the other,
an occasional side-step,
and a back-step when obliged --
life is a dance of sorts.
Happy New Year my poetic friends!
How do you fare on the happiness scale
Are you an A-Plus or have you fallen off the rails
Bend an ear
And listen here
Besides an occasional glitch, everything else pales
To the depth of my soul, I'm in love with life
Whether filled with joy or occasional strife
The good with the bad
Happiness and sad
Too bad we don't get to go around twice
A constant murmur,
with bickering voices
and occasional shriek of glee.
All when I'm trying to revise,
down in the library.

Guess who's become an expert at sleeping
Can do it with my eyes closed, no peeping
Peeping leads to sight
Just wouldn't be right
Sleep for hours, get up for occasional eating
Overwhelming desires
Occasional oaths, vows
Offerings, gentle grace
Openly giving, truths
Obedient to God,
Observing His laws, words
Omnipresent light, love
