Persisted and Enlisted
At first what we did was insisted,
And after that we had persisted,
Then into service finally enlisted.
multilayered
vulnerable
proceedings
persisted
over time
manipulating
emotional
reactions
over years
spent within
the situation
and time had not erased the memory of you
when all was said and done
love in every corner hovered
a breath lingering persisted

Saw two love birds arguing,
not a pretty flight – one flew
left while still holding on --
as the other persisted right;
the tree-trunk ahead held its ground...
I didn't want to
I didn't want to
Do those things with you
But you persisted
Crushed my soul
Then enlisted
Now your off fighting a war
While I'm here feeling like a whore
Use Broom to Sweep Away Doom
What we did do with a straw broom,
Would be to sweep away our doom,
Which existed,
And persisted,
That was spread all over the room.
Jim Horn
My Thanksgiving Poem
We re giving God thanks for the creation.
Of America that is another new nation;
Happiness existed;
Love persisted,
And there now will be a big celebration.

Looking at the sky for a moment,
I noticed if sky doesn’t existed
Then it would have been a difference,
For the life span of us all persisted
How long we have to live,
And our age a mystery

So nervously, upon this earth I tread.
Don't let me, again, go out of my head.
My fragile mind persisted yet unbroken,
ignoring all harsh words as they were spoken,
until shattered with a sickening shriek.
Done in, I was, as I heard a mushroom speak.
Would there ever be a light at
the end of the tunnel?
She didn't know, she couldn't see one;
she waited and she hoped
knowing there'd be no guarantee.
Still she persisted waiting in the dark
for even just a spark.

And while those bruises
Showed their true colors
Simply stood over me
In a hazy glaze
Of anger and confusion
While weeping persisted
And screaming pursued
Your most inner sympathies
You walked away
Left the scene of the crime
And left it all behind
Form:
Former co-workers out for dinner and brew,
discussing their old workplace's who's who -
they vied for the honor of best memory,
their mind's eyes conjured faces they could see.
I spoke of a man, and I persisted,
till they recalled one who never existed.

A child cried in the bush
Midnight it persisted worse
The weary hungry mom wept too
Not an ounce of food they had.
Then a voice came from a van;
“Who is laughing in the bush?
Tell that fox to enter its hole.
The world wants to be at peace.”
It happened and still happens daily
Somewhere in Africa
I loved her sorrows.
We shared a mask that we spoke through -
a mail-box for wordless hungers.
Passion maimed us,
even I shed tears sensing
a Puccini last act.
She read herself in my face.
I gave her long-range forecasts.
She insisted, persisted –
a desperate belief
that I would always be around
to mop up.
Weed in a bed of roses
You don't belong
But you persisted just the same
Petals fading
Taking advantage of her insecurity
Preying on her weaknessess
You acquire your desire
No appreciation
Of the delicate layers that represent her
You celebrate your acquistion
And abandon her in the Garden
Withering after your brutal beating
AMERICA

A nation that was miraculously birthed
Molded by God – best on the earth.
Eventually, however, things began to change
Radicals persisted in efforts to re-arrange.
Idiocy dictates it must remain the same,
Certainly we can reclaim our prestigious name.
American patriots must once again stand!
I searched for you
Followed in the wake of your song
The sillage of your sensual scent
Long after the sun had lost its glow
I persisted, with cards in hand,
Defying destiny, undeterred
By night and melancholy darkness.

Grandma can do it! Henry insisted.
No one else knew it, but he persisted.
Grandma laced up her skates and took to the road.
She was terrific, her moves were all gold.
She’d won the skating Olympic gold medal in ’04.
Not 2004, honey, go back a hundred years more.
What is keeping you alive? We asked Grandma Lee.
Do not know, I guess it’s because I was born in 1883.
He gave long sermons
and spoke to the
congregation
in measured tones
Gone now these many
years
His memory lives on
in the heart of the congregation
Some reviled him
but he persisted
with his writings, with his
teachings
A blessing for his memory
should be spoken
by those who have survived

Dinosaurs, it’s true they really existed
The oldest ones from far away persisted
Million’s of years ago
The dinosaurs had to go
They all died right when they were insisted

The big dinosaurs
Lived millions of years ago
Now they’ve all died out

Black Cloud!?*#@+&
The Black Cloud lurched and swayed a bit,
and somehow followed on.
No sir I never needed it,
and I bid it sir 'Begone'.
And all I touched it turned to clay,
yes everything went wrong.
Though I persisted all the day,
the black cloud was too strong.

A man with children is tucked up for the night
when a friend calls round in need of a bite.
“Just leave me alone!”
He cried with groan
in a manner that was hardly polite.
His friend persisted by knocking once more
till the man came down and answered the door.
“Though I'm not in the mood
here's some of my food,”
for his persistence he could not ignore.

He’s spent some time in the valleys,
and has tasted the mountains top.
He’s encountered some dark alleys,
but has always pressed on nonstop.
You won’t find give up in his D. N. A.,
tough old birds slow, but don’t quit.
In mixed times he persisted to pray,
from God came his backbone and grit.
I suppose we are as we see ourselves.
