      at the edge of the quagmire
          to warm up from cold... !...

keenly expecting
to rise out of a quagmire;
ready for the worst

What hardship
Is joblessness? 
Soul searching endlessly
Roving depth in height
Beasting and feasting
On treacherous quagmire...

Howling in the night
Why is this apple green?

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...

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.

Burnt

ashen

ground

humid

dusty

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

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.

~Picnic~

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....

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, XXX yodeling, zonked....

A sojourner of life embarks on unchartered territory,
when he/she is uncertain how to feel,
The everchanging perplexities of life makes for an 
emotional journey filled with strife,
stirring up suppressed feelings that have
no outlets,
Creating knots and a quagmire of negative vibes........

Too tired to think
Too tired to talk
Too tired to take 
Even a walk

Too tired I say 
Perchance I must fall
Too tired to take
Even a  call

If this is my lot
If this is my stay
How can I even 
Begin to pray?

He loves me I know 
So He’ll make a way
Out of this quagmire
At the end of the day...

She lurks 
in darkness, 
a hideous mask,
heavy clouds,
churning , insipid,
splintered fragments,
pierce the soul.
Gall to the mouth,
pupils shrink to
evil points.
Flared alae, 
gnashing teeth
tear to pieces that which was whole.
Quagmire seeps in
snatching,
sucking
the total spirit 
leaving remorse  
and .....if only.

Evil days are over

I am happy and elated
for the evil days are over,

I almost fell into oblivion,
which gives me bellyache anytime I think it over,

I was embedded in a quagmire of wolves,
but saved by the almighty,

my heart trembles,
when I remember how they assembled,

I wept!,wept and wept!! like a baby,
but now,I look sassy and glamorous like a lady....
