It either works out
Or it doesn't
Either way things
Will be fine
Life moves on
To the final end
A last showdown

Some called the man Jack, Jacqueline

In a dandelion clump sits a dirty dog
his muddy paws could rival that of a hog
what he chews will remain forever a mystery
for he swallowed it before I got a chance to see

Pear Shaped

Said a rival with an insolent stare.

“Just how you appreciate a pear!”

Overbooked

A man of cloth spent hours reading the Bible
of the book's thoughts he was minus a rival.
He knew chapter and verse,
was never heard to curse.
Alas, boredom defrocked his survival.

Jasmine

Jasmine ( Pleiades )

Jam packed with sweet pollen 
Jostling with rival plants,
Jocular in Summer
January bare though 
Jazzy and beautiful, 
Jocose nasal senses
Joyous wonderful plant.

DISCIPLE
The prophet doesn't need to have any disciple
We should not be the worst rival
Let's read together our Bible

But I love you and I will always love you

Made son Forest very mad
and set him all afire!

Quickly producing a rival 'Mars' bar!

Trust God

Bless us, 
Open your eyes and bless us.

We feel the bliss, when you bless us.
We get success, if you are with us.
We get rid of our rival, upon your arrival.
We attain persistence, on your existence.

Bless us...

The Girl With Sunshine Smile

I know a girl, 
Nay, a lady in her bloom,
With sunshine on her face,
And her smiles the sun cannot rival, 
Her courage is as strong as the steel.
I know a girl,
Nay, a lady in her bloom,
She has sunshine on her face.

Survival of a Rival

Survival of A Rival at a Revival

There does appear to be something about survival;
What we should do with any people who are a rival;
God was near;
Us He did hear,
And we were told to take them to a religious revival.

A Tent In the Wild

Have you ever slept overnight in a tent in the woods An experience to treasure for a lifetime in all likelihood The thrill can't be explained It's like survival unchained Nothing can rival this journey in the backwoods

Later, When the Supermoon Rises

And the air cools and empties

The darkened beach,

Like Edward Storer, the poet,

One would toss away all one's poetry as failure,

As no rival for Her pale blue eyes,

There so infinitely deeper than the rushing, deep blue sea
