Short Progressing Poems

Jeweled circlets of sequined sleet
Crown kings progressing up silent street.

Geometrically 
Progressing
Each Day
Valued more
The closer
The end
The sweeter 
The lure

The crying kid repeats 
The demand to his papa 
He wants a toy 
‘’A gun and knife’’ 
A Hollywood movie is 
Still progressing at the TV....

Florence of Lawrence 
Mother of sense
her learning curve incense
her colorful fence for defence
Progressing up the pyramid with boldness...

A snowy day in March
And through the grey silenced day
the whispers of birds

Forlorn in the eyes of man
Fantasy of a progressing spring...

The universe finally giving
Feeling that I'm finally living
How far does the road go
What do I really know
When I'm built to fail
Yet a mind progressing to prevail...

ceased existence
within this   
realities realm
extinction 
died out 
became obsolete 
was unable 
to continue 
progressing 
had to come 
to an end 
was unavoidable...

Truth
Peaceful, Hopeful
Relieving, enlightening, progressing
Almighty God, Judge, Cheaters, Monsters
Burdening, condemning, failing 
Deceitful, sorrowful
Lie...

Do not waste your mind 
Never stop learning 
Always educate yourself 
Continue progressing 
When you open your books 
You fill your world with knowledge 
Be the one to aspire 
Be that stellar student in college...

Day after day,
The pawn keeps on moving
Surrounded by the real action
Unnoticed, but still progressing
For though so easily overlooked
The pawn slugs on
And soon enough
The pawn is no longer a pawn

…But a queen...

I walk quickly in circles without hurry
Thinking in panic without thought or worry
As rain hammers down from clear blue skies
Soaking me to the skin; leaving me bone dry
I cross a road without progressing
Whilst rushing slowly to keep from digressing...

She was constantly evolving,
And like the moon, she went through phases. 

She was independent, yet needy. 
She was confident, yet insecure. 
She was fearless, yet timid. 

But the one thing that was always consistent with her—
She always loved....

Human
              terrified, inconsequential 
          hindering , declining, overloading
      Civilization, Growth, Tech, Paranoia
       expanding, progressing, upgrading  
                   focused, essential

Cinquain
5 lines progressing, 2 syl's, 4 syl's,
6 syl's, 8 syl's then back to two syl's
rhyme or meter not required
Written in Trochee metre as an exercise.

Pleasant!
My love's close now
She is gentle speaking
those words I love hearing most true.
I'm yours....

                       forward, improved

         removing, restraining, abandoning,
                        sudden, strategic

Time is a road.
We move forward and backwards;
sometimes we move at the same pace,
different speeds, while other times we collide.
Progressing or deteriorating as humans,
we're all travelers through time,
trying to understand how and why we are moving
up and about, like eternal pendulums........

Flip-flop,flip-flop!

flip-flop,flip-flop!

a steady beating cadence

most annoying at times

whether from a distance

worse yet,when fast approaching

gives one cause to grit their teeth

until the noise moves on

becoming more and more silent

with each progressing

flip-flop,flip-flop....

 believers
                      devout, fervent
         accepting, aiming, progressing
worshippers, devotees, persistent, cynics
     disbelieving, bearing, confounding
                   agnostic, cautious
                          skeptics...

Dreams shed light to your beam,
but soon they get dimmed and faint
once you reach them without wisdom;
for reaching true dreams is not the end success,
yet progressing along dreams keeps you accomplished, 
and happiness is striving to grasp the bliss
of which sharp process meaningless  
without dreams access....

As we enter another lockdown
for the third wave of this inexorable
pandemic, with new variants appearing
almost daily, and vaccination is progressing
hesitantly, while our school children are going
to remote again, and the ICU’s on the verge of over
flowing, I just can’t help wondering if the seventh  wave
will be a tsunami....

Oh the spring had came
As the magic of nature
Again
Murmuring alive
The life
Shivering in every body
So the summer is progressing
With love
Like drip of drop
Drip drop
My love
May you come
Gradually
Like drip of drop
Drip  drop
Oh my love
Like sun of morning cascade
Come
Bit by bit
Gradually
Let you grace come
Like drip of drop
Drip  drop...

A bad sleep and I had to wake!
A long fight with as much long snake
From land progressing to a lake
I knew not what to of it make,
Save that Precious Life was at stake…

Inside the lake did I more ache,
For in it did more troubles take,
Not warned it was a water snake
And the swimming fighter ‘its cake’…
To plunge into water bakes cake....

The end to a journey
Is the start of a century
The end to a misery
Is the beginning of kindness

The tongues are meant to be spoken
The pain is meant to be felt
The thoughts need to be explored
The love is meant to be received

It is what is meant to be
It is what is suppose to be
It is what is progressing to be
It is what is born to be...

Pen to paper
Images of the pass
Wishful thinking 
Hurtful thoughts
Broken heart
Pen to paper
Can you see my pass
Lonely heart
Tearful eyes
Scattered pieces 
Pen to paper
Words progressing 
Sentence forming
Writer in the making
Pen to paper
Readers waiting
No one's rating
Pen to paper
Anticipating 
Times wasting
No one's complimenting
Voices of the pass....

Everything pressing on my mind 
So, I question, why?
Blessings are small when addressing
Where I am currently at right now. 
Life is compressing my being 
With every-day turmoil progressing.
I am a window dressing of peace,
But a different narrative inside. 
Blessings my Lord, gaze down on me 
And open a flood gate of discipline,
Help me transcend above it.
