Shining in envy
Propelling from sickness held
All Nature carries
Guarding Irish traditions
We take this color lightly

now the propelling forces 
appear in the plane over there 
- & she appears, rough, tough,
dragon-mean & anxiety-driven
& mother look’d so scar’d
as she appears so close -...

There was a wild drink-craving pair
Who an Aussie airliner’s fuel did share.
It made in their guts masses of gases
Propelling them south via their asses.
Maori swear they’re Maero from thin air....

gazing toward eternity’s echoing faze
clouds torment in papier mache gloom
winds of destiny massage in propelling vibrations
trees and grasses disperse, adhering, dancing in rhythmic tune ...............

layer by layer uncover
light of truth in playful caper
in timeless time, all becomes clear
ineffable bliss, each pore spears
propelling soul to realms higher

in the void of no-thingness 
melding with vast space
formless awareness
is as is complete

the vital breath
propelling aliveness 
has no beginning or end
wherein in vibrance we dwell...

Just remembered my dream about tortillas
Mind boggling it was, a revolutionary new idea
A self propelling mouth full
Yum yum by the bucketful
No effort, just enjoy stuffing your cake hole per diem...

Gripping zip
Zero escape

push,
             enforced, advance
     pressing, forcing, propelling, 
spearhead, shove, influence, yank,
   unhooking,attracting, plucking, 
                  separate, quit,
                           pull

Buzzard drifting high among the clouds
Little effort, it seems, propelling him in circles
Wondering what he can see far below
I’ve always been told something has died~~
A plausible explanation.

Snowman, who ‘s also as white as tissues
Wants to wear Santa Claus' pair of shoes
He sits right on top of two short poles
Down the snow he has his propelling rolls

Propelling through a self destructive whirlwind straight into the wolves den
There you are shining light my calm in the storm, my center, my zen
I sometimes swear you're living proof angels walk among men
Oh, how I long to see you again
If it's not if but, when
Until then...
I'll reach for you through the tip of my pen...

Legs propelling me off the edge
underwater.
Looking up, ceiling going by.
Diaphragm controlling steady exhaling,
arms overhead.
Then breaststroking, legs frog kicking,
air bubbling out my nose-
preventing water going in.
Maybe breath control is another benefit
granted an oldster
for playing clarinet 
as a youngster....

A bird flutters its wings,
Propelling itself into flight.

A gargoyle stares down at 
London with its gruesome smile.

A whale swims slowly,
Its huge mouth open to eat.

Under the ground, a mother
Rabbit nurses her young.

A boy lays sleeping,
Darkness falling.

All the places we can go,
None is as pleasant as home....

One little jellyfish swam quite free
Swishing and gurgling capriciously
With the hiccups it seems
Propelling his jet streams
Back and forth simultaneously

Two tiny seahorses swam in place
Gawking at jellyfish face to face
One said "NO!" does he know
There's a shark at his toe
Ready to gobble him for a taste!

Tainted.. Sainted.
Overlook immorals.
Blatantly.. lately.
Endless, it follows.

And I'm woken up tomorrow,
Head filled with hollow passion.
Passionated dreaming.

Pieces of your thoughts,
Deemed a happiless  place.
Sounding of your voice,
Propelling through nothing that's worthy.

This friend I have aquired
commonalities abound between us.
Our wishes correlate
like a long lost pal
separated by chance
reunited by fate.
Our friendship grows daily
jokes and quips thrown about
together, we jest.
Slowly, we grow comfortable
in our desire.
It drives us forward
propelling us together,
hopefully, down the same path....

Lord,
Help us gather our pride,
and from our vocabularies sift.
Oft used words, me and I,
hastily casting both adrift.
For prideful words are as fuel,
propelling our souls toward Hell.
Leaving many to perish,
while under pride's spell.
As we examine hearts, and words,
We should readily see,
that it isn't we or I,
But that old pronoun thee....

Play possum, feeding not dark fears
As they spiral inwards 
Choose bliss instead, that love endears 
Propelling us upwards 

Transcend fear and desire
For love and light, aspire
Pure innocence afire

We’re awesome
Play possum

Excelling and Expelling Horn Limerick

Grade Point Average upward was propelling
And he had been a student who is excelling
When your knowledge becomes escalated
You are surely to end up highly educated
Rest of the idiots they are always expelling.

Does that sound like our educated society?

Jim Horn

PS. Do they have a category for pitiful yet?...
