Playing Bridge

Playing Bridge

Gov. Chris Christie
Whose promises are twisty.
Played with A Bridge Too Far
With a Democrat he did spar.

Music Is Alive

A musician resting in a spar,
Was playing his electric guitar,
An almighty spark
Plunged his home into dark,
He was left with a musical scar.

Premium Member Arguments

I have yet to win a verbal spar
Or change a hard-headed opinion
A waste of energy to try, I think,
They are someone's solid minion.

Haimish2

So fishy to wish upon the forcery star-

a daze un-far,

to be so alarmed...

Falling car,

no weed-

but then we spar,

to the denial part,

to the serendipity,

to the dark.

Wise Men Had Been Following

Wise Men Had Been Following

Wise Men had been following a bright star;
Distance they had been traveling was far
And in the night,
Should turn right;
With their camels they did start to spar.

Goodbye Chad

Not even a whisper to help understand
Son, husband, brother, uncle, work mate and friend
Taken unseen, from this world by his own hand
No spar or ring ending the fisherman’s bend
Just a rigid, slightly jagged, frayed tag end
Form: Rhyme

Soft Sound of Silence

Soft Sound of Silence. 

Think that was a popular song.

Some want to save all of the suspense,
When you try to find sound of silence;
With a guitar,
Started to spar;
Was picking away at finding a few hints.

Treading Water (Willingly)

Adrift, adrift (my usual trip)
In icy, unmapped sea,
A splintered spar my only ship—
I clutch it willfully.

Afloat, afloat, each nerve alive, 
I brave what is to be,
Instead of cowering, to but survive
On land, secure, not free.

Premium Member Fireflies Twinkle

In flight, fireflies enchant
  As bright colors they grant

 The moon, in hues of gold
 In tune with tides to hold

 A star will wink in time
 And spar in skies sublime

 A glance at skies above,
 A dance to twinkle love

Premium Member Boy Meets Girl

Boy meets girl today
   well, sort of --
They meet online

   others fell in love from afar

Though times sure have changed
   Dating, just higher-tech rearranged

Asthma

I fight this struggle every day.
I struggle to respire.
Like drawing air through a straw.
I'm always craving more.
I just never get quite enough.
I sit motionless, for conservation.
Afraid to expend my much needed energy,
energy needed to live.
My wheezing is strained.
Daily, I spar with my disease.
One day, I'm afraid
It may win.

To All Who

To all who paint or sculpt or write,
To all who cook or knit – 
Resist the urge, when criticized,
To simply up and quit.

To those who dance or sing or act,
To those who spar or race – 
Remember what you do is yours 
To discard or embrace.

Ignore the critics who say nay
And disregard their gloom,
For only you can nurture
What’s within and make it bloom.

Premium Member Back To Normal

back to normal holds a hopeful ring —
    presently, the ding spurs us into a boxing spar

our refuge - our home
    becomes a multipurpose cage

school, workplace, nursing station, cafeteria
     ailments scold, yes

we're principals, doctors too.
        presently, the ding spurs us into a boxing spar

back to normal    holds a hopeful ring

Reason of Existence

Lotion cream balm an ointments 
reminds us of who we really are  
accessories fitment's an garments
never need lavish nor spar
classic cupboards organized 
maintain visual distain
to relax an feel stabilized 
everything is perfectly attain
or maybe not quite a start
funny how time seems to fly 
then wonder how far
th' reason of existence apply
like driving all night 
without an aim

Premium Member The Journey Thus Far

One step at a time, we have come afar,
resolutely flowing on in prayer,
no attachments remain with which we spar,
graced by beauteous hues of bliss flavours,
vaporised self our devout soothsayer.
Childlike wonderment, beholding surprise;
moment to moment, magnetism does rise,
revealing and concealing the divine,
directly imbibed wisdom, makes us wise,
as head and heart, with throb of love align.

I Slept With a Female Mosquito - Part V

I Slept with a Female Mosquito – part V 

Anopheles!  I, take my sanity, gaze at her. 
Evil alter ego and Calvary spar; right in my heart
Crash her, splash her 
Red birthright on the white. 
Yes. A dense dark mark of her red. No – my blood
Yes, my blood and I’ll be glad. 
Walk tall and yell Eureka. Spilt from the bucket! 
Killed a quito dead. She dared touch me at night. 
The demented pest! Decimated. 
Appraised; The PS did it!

Prison Time

Pain distilled in each brittle bar
Past deeds instill a vicarious scar
Sins of the past my corroding soul mar
Time and space bottled in a tiny jar
Flagging spirit falters; tired body must continually spar
Existing in bipolar realm with norms set by the thief, liar, mugger
Puffing away the endless moments, satiated by nicotine and tar 
Availing light fleeting into distant world now so far
Barren heart eclipsed; a fading, falling star
