Ride my bike every single day Get nowhere fast but that's really okay Recumbent you see Losing pounds is a breeze If I'd known would've started last May

Conflict

Words belligerent Recumbent on the bed, lone~ Thoughts insentient, still.

A squirrel that is
                                          recumbent on the road, is
                                                            destined to road-kill.

The cat lay recumbent upon the luthier's bench
among violin carcasses and something French.
Morning cows making their way to the milking stool
stepped over a reflected moon in last rain's pool.
The farmer's little dog yapped in obvious glee
at the potential for milk, some butter, or ghee.
The Potters reflected on the note they've just seen.
Their dishy young girl, eloped, with boy from canteen.

Tides

'...the great tide that treads the shifting shore.'
   -Edna St. Vincent Millay



Sluggishly the waves steal in like guilty 
lovers, apologetic,
smothering the shore with gentle kisses 
of contrition;
the ocean lies at rest, the surf recumbent, 
apoplectic.

Suddenly the heavens burst, tides no 
longer in remission,
swells that idled now surge into shore
their temper rages,
'sotto voce' once, now they roar like tigers
in their cages!

Lost Battle

He was there recumbent like a log
Cancer has culminated,prevailing over him
Enfeebled all his shielding apparatuses
Yet spurned to frolic prolongation

Eschewed palliative care ministrations
He detected the vital prognosis was engaged
He had instead to plough money into God's certitude
For he realized HE implements nothing fortuitously 

Could he yet afford to acquit himself otherwise 
Engage in a battle lost right from the dawn ?

Tides

'...the great tide that treads the shifting shore.'
-Edna St. Vincent Millay


Sluggishly the waves steal in like guilty 
lovers, apologetic,
smothering the shore with gentle kisses 
of contrition;
the ocean lies at rest, the surf recumbent, 
apoplectic.

Suddenly the heavens burst, tides no 
longer in remission,
swells that idled now surge into shore
their temper rages,
'sotto voce' once, now they roar like tigers
in their cages!

Sluggishly the waves steal in like guilty 
lovers, apologetic, 
smothering the shore with gentle kisses 
of contrition; 
the ocean lies at rest, the surf recumbent, 
anorectic.
