There once was a sailor named Gail
Who had a boat and tried to sail

She sailed day and night
To prove all her might

Cause quitters won’t simply prevail!...

She took lessons and learned to sail
But she sailed as slow as a snail
A wave tipped over the boat
She didn't know how to float
They wondered how she had prevailed...

new day, fresh dawn, a beginning
Hope for the first time since her divorce
Love and optimism prevailed this morning.
she held on to her groom, loving the sunrise again....

They said we'd fall 
And we we'd crawl
But we stood up
They said good luck
But now we prevailed 
And if love sails 
It tells a classic tale
They'll brightens our hope...

A would-be poet wrote a Sonnet,
With few brains under her bonnet,
She tried and miserably failed.
She picked up her pen,
And tried once again
this time her persistence prevailed....

Tried to write a limerick that's bawdy
The naughty kind that sex would embody
With each attempt I failed
While another prevailed
Compared to Jan's, mine was just plain shoddy...

A  strong swarm
Dodging the mayhem
There was hope
Madness sea
In the throng, trounced and forlorn
Faith and calm prevailed.

We could be million different things
But life hits hard, it bites and stings
And circumstances that prevailed 
And bad decisions we have made
Turned us in what we are; it’s sad
And you are wishing you were dead...

Schooner On a Schooner

It may have been later or possibly sooner,
We drank another schooner on a schooner;
While wind prevailed,
Down schooner sailed;
We became idiots who were an early bloomer.

How have the hours fallen? times x harder; attempted my destruction'
I have been swept along, in the hasty tide of despair
Yet in the lone times between; truth has spoken,
Endurance nurtured.. Salvation prevailed'...

I flew through the mall

Wore Superman’s cape and suit

It was Christmas time

With ease, my shopping complete

The woman of steel prevailed





For Michael Falotico’s Tanka me a Dream contest

Since the end of World War II, it's been relatively calm
Cooler heads have prevailed, methinks coz of THE BOMB
The one that can end it all
Doesn't Kim Jon-Un recall
World War II and the devastation it caused!!!...

Excercise prevailed best so she had applied,
"Oh goodness, only by an ounce," she cried,
Being in alarm, peered down and wondered,
She now weighed an ounce o'er six hundred.

Oh grand pa let me tell you this tale 
Of captain Ahab and the great white whale
And how  that whale he prevailed 
Now the thing is with little girls telling these tall  tales 
they can change  the ending and my mummy slayed that whale....

Transcended, these mortal feelings
For time and place.
Sucked into this fiery swirling
Ocean of space.

Prevailed on, but intoxicatingly.
As though entranced.
Out of oneself, on life's grand quest *
A soul - romanced.

* For meaning...

Self-righteous oppressor
do not assume you’ve prevailed
you deem yourself clever
give into you – never!
puppeteer?
I say not!
you cannot hold me taut 
I sever the ties
where suppression lies
to witness unmarked chance
with a pair of unveiled eyes...

And to a shocking blast 
Near my shop, awful take off of masses  
Screams and panic prevailed   
And I fell down to see, men running over me 
I was smashed but still alive  
To recover from the wounds there was no way 
My life was ruined to that stream...

Wing of bat,
and slimily snail,
heart of a rat,
and puppy dog tail,
bring in the mighty gale,
destroy all without fail,
let them all shout and wail,
let this day be a descended tale,
for all humans so frail, 
As a remembrance, 
that this very day i prevailed....

My dog sometimes has the desire
To lay too close to the fire,
To the warm hearth he succumbs
His favorite spot when winter comes.

One night when tranquility prevailed
An exploding spark got on his tail,
He yelped so loud my canine friend,
I had a hot dog with one burnt end....

stunted
     emotions
in
  a troubled maverick

          liberated 
by landscapes
 impassioned
  in pink green & blue

 fixation freedom
in a mountain 
              view 
the provincial peasant 
prevailed 
by
 'art of the askew' 

 still life
     in arrested moments...

I gazed into a multi-colored sapphire, bright.
Its sparkles made my brain and heart take flight.

In a single instant, I was transported - 
Some kinds of magic are never thwarted.

On an endless, timeless loop, I swiftly sailed, 
As nature's enchanting majesty prevailed....

Stranglehold; 
The tough grip around that
Restrict movement and results
Asphyxiation!  
Narrowing the group 
Great possibility to 
Limit and tighten activities and
Execution!
Hold on attention, 
Overpower,
Lofty perch and 
Dominance prevailed!

The light bulb absolved its flickering duty

Bayonet stuck in the depth of despair

‘Screw you’ but the mismatch prevailed


Life takes a psychic but the medium is fraught

The planet a stroboscope for fits of illusion

She severed the cord and turned on the gas


Shadow play and the pantomime was over...

peace prevailed the flow
of red blood stretched and dreamt
her bosom swelled
n i sobbed
in the valley of
her innocent eyes
like an orphan
kindred spirits fled and echoed
totally awake for yet
another rendezvouz
intoxicating grey clouds danced
n delivered.
, the smell of love
hung there like 
an angel
