What hardship
Is joblessness?
Soul searching endlessly
Roving depth in height
Beasting and feasting
On treacherous quagmire
Space cadets moon
Howling in the night
Why is this apple green?

In the mouth of desire
your words drip fire,
enticing me to the pyre
of a singular quagmire
where you are the supplier
of this drug called love.
Mired in a quagmire
Of quicksand and sin
Why not forsake rayless
Dusk for the eternal
Dawn of blissful Bodhi?

pulling me gently
into a quagmire
not in a quicksand way
but slowly
methodically
sneakily
steadily
until I disappear
into wet cement
forgetting
I ever
was
The quivering quitters, quaking and quacking
In quite a quizzing quagmire, quietly
Quash their qualms. The ***** quest they have acquired,
Is a quandry of quantum quantity.
Listen to poem:
Frosty begged his nose to blaze bright red,
Rudolph’s famed legend had gone to his head.
One night he stole a coal from desire's fire —
By dawn, his dream for glory became a quagmire.
the merely bourgeois, so-called collective Western world:
dysfunctional political economy, broken system w/ a
population neither able to solve the problem, nor willing to solve it.
Dipping our toe in the stream of desire
We wished to withdraw but our toe did not
Thus we were plunged into a deep quagmire
Standing there transfixed, watching body rot

Quetzal birds are sacred,
quite a beautiful bird,
quiet most of the time,
quivering songs haunting,
quagmire of tall trees home,
quick flashes of colors,
quizzical amused face.
A quiescent quiver
haunted the quagmire,
a quandary of purpose
overshadowed the quest.
The quadrangle protected
its secrets in silence.

quagmire
I rummaged in my hands
blackening fingertips
and felt peace
it was what was left
of her last letter
that had freed me of all
fetters.
If there's one thing I've learned walking life's shores
There's so much more to life yet to be explored
The moment we stop
In a quagmire we're caught
Our minds must stay open to a whole bunch more
quagmire of desire
cupids arrow did not miss
love, passion and pain

In the corner
they've both been backed into,
dog eats dog
push come to shove.
For the umpteenth time.
We mustn't complain,
must just get back in line,
celebrate "freedom"
and "choices"
or else.
The mind is a quagmire of weeds:
a crowd of what we think we know
leaving little room left for new crops
of creativity....
How far out did Einstein go?
At first thought speculative nonsense
his time altering relativity....
Rolling
Round and round down the hill
Riding in a tire
Revolves like a windmill
Rotates faster faster!
Reeling wildly and shrill...
Rubber meets quagmire.
Remorse—after the spill.

What if Trump was caught in a quagmire
Had gone over his body and entire
And he became so deeply involved
Missed evidence and mystery not solved
Did not re-enlist and contract did expire.
James Horn
Terired Veteran and Poet
Immersed in the quagmire
of finding yourself
The search tunnels deeper
through canyons undwelt
Absorbed in the moments
your fear would disdain
Time lost and abeyant
— in search of a name
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)

There once was a girl from Staffordshire
Who wanted to picnic but the weather was dire
She packed up her basket
And then threw a gasket
As the field she went to was a quagmire

If there's one thing I've learned in my life so far
There's so much more in life I've yet to explore
The moment we stop
In a quagmire we're caught
Our minds must stay open to a whole bunch more

Listen to poem:
Lurking in the murky mist
a glimmer lies peripheral.
Invisible to the blaze
of stare-eyed gaze,
uncertainty is determinant.
The gist is missed
until you look away,
disengage, and let
the quagmire ooze
belch its quintessence.
rough and tumble fight fight fight
F.B.I. show on TV tonight
jackhammer sounds, gunfire too
battling a huge quagmire in blue
bodies flying through the air
grabbing guns without a care
rough and tumble fight fight fight
F.B.I. show on TV tonight
Many a confession is more than a sin injurious
For you may seek to a harm alleviate
Mumble for words and make assumptions erroneous
Yet do sink it and quagmire aggravate
So never torpedo an apology with an excuse
Destitute of exploits,your atonement is of no use.
A big crude demoness
Entered fabulous Garnet Hotel Inn
Juggling kettles, looting money
Netting oodles, precocious quagmire,
Respite-- she thankfully undressed--
Voluptuous wench, *** yodeling, zonked.
