Short Pertinacious Poems

Its an old saying,    
stubborn as a mule  
The old Italian 
yanked,  
and the donkey said,   
"now that ain't cool"...

You’re loathsome in your pertinacious ways.
Your courtesy goes and your rudeness stays.
Can’t you find other means to make money?
You’re a big nuisance, and it’s not funny!
I don’t want to buy what you have for sale.
If you call back again, I’ll kick your tail!...

The Echoes Within


I am the pertinacious child of dauntless demands,
The frightened child of explosive hands.
 
The enchanting warmth of a midsummer's day;
The deserted breadth of comforts age.
 
The inquisitive bustle of delightful charms;
The hunger of a world alarms.
 
The silent whisper of loving kisses;
The ABC'S of Hershey's Wishes......

Being persistent
By Miracle Man
October 12, 2020

Some choose to think I’m a pertinacious man,
others think I’m a prisoner of rigid thinking.
If you wish to describe me as “hard headed” you can,
I’ll accept your assessment and remain unblinking.


Let God be your refuge and strength each day,
let Him light your path, and His word become your way.

Grandmother By Saiful Haq:
Skinny Skin Bloomed with Wrinkles,
Overshadowing her dimples,
Staring with Aghast Eyes,
Expressing herself in a fatuous Noise.

Credulous to lavish promises,
Melodramatic to laziness,
Pertinacious in her religious beliefs ,
Punctiliously attending her colleagues.

Torpidly trekking with a wooden stick,
Very Prone to being sick,
Showering her blessings diligently,
Is the patriotic head of Our family....

Why is it the intransigent
find the intransigent
to be pigheaded, willful,
inflexible and pertinacious?
Engaging, as it were,
in an endless “tug-o-war”
neither side allowing
for consideration of 
the fallibility of the inflexibility
of calcified recalcitrance.

Stags, horns locked,
dying on an empty stage
bleach-white bones
rattling in an unfelt wind.
