A group of dreamers
Running through the maze of life
Chased by minotaurs,
Though most will fail, they rejoice
Knowing some will make it home...

Once a witch with a wart on her nose,
And with runners in her pantyhose,
Went and traded her broom
For a Hoover vacuum.
Where she hoovered to, nobody knows....

who once with his back to the wall
did leap out with a yell
and what stories did tell
of runners who ran till they crawl.....

Base-runners paused, mid-pose'
Caps set, brows of sweat.
  Almost ready now.  Here comes:
  Pitch, Swing, Home Run, Cheer -- We Won!...

for the not running

sport of sorts
has made
history...

in
reluctant
teardrops
plop 
visions
of my field
of dreams
a bloody
track
of cinders
where

lithe
runners
to box me in
and ere 
i fell 
this 
lonely race
become
my requiem...

My winter boots to endure the cold,
My rain boots to withstand the worse storms,
My heels to feel desired,
My runners for health and vitality,
She was my shoe tree....

Limerick : Once a Time-Keeper at race Marathon

A hello to other runners in this human race

A timid whisper through shrouds yet unworn

Some more words of comfort to following friends

Raise your children please.
It is only sex
Sad they think this way
One date, and in bed.
Disservice to youth

Fore fronters

Tender blooms 
Modest buds
Novel blossoms
 
Flamboyant artwork 
Emerald runners
Dynamic intelligence

Nonchalant gusts
Dreamy fragrance
Zealous songbirds

Embellished Nature
Unhampered, generous
Spring’s influx

The running of the bulls in Pamplona
Is part of the San Fermin Festival
What excitement awaits the mayor’s call
To win accolades is “muy bona”
Escaping bull’s piercing horns  is daring
Runners like the danger they are sharing
They seek prize, adulations “corona”....

 Think On This 2
Tom Wright
9/3/2010

Life is a marathon & death its finish line.
In our youth, we sprint away from youthful indiscretions.
But youthful indiscretions,
become memories, that are long distance runners.
