Short Sprints Poems

Like the current way 
Refusal steers the contest
Idiocy sprints...

Nymph
Sylvan bronze waif hides;
She sprints through the dense thickets;
Doves coo at their Queen...

   He jumps into his pants
     gulps down an espresso 
   Fairly flies out the door
     caught up in the flow  

  Sprints to the corner
     squeezes onto the bus
  His name is not ‘Superman’
     ~ He’s just one of us

in  the marathon of life
milestones
sprints
coastings
downhills
uphills
the last miles
the most precious
captain of our vessel
guiding it to the finish line
steering
with pride
and determination
going the distance
heading in the right direction

The clock sprints one way
as we walk the other
the hands intersecting 
with our hearts
reminding us
that there was a beginning
and there will be an end,,
A grand expansion
a fantastic contraction
just beyond the black veil
there are no clocks
just the delicate flavor of 
forever,...

Sizzling Summer

summer sun sizzles
sans sunshade shelter
sunburn scalds
she sprints scorched sand to shore
swizzles in soothing sea

Birds sing
Time wings


Buzz words
Now heard


Just start
Fond art


Be brave
Touch saves


New morn
Now dawns


Glimpse grace
Spur race


Wit puns
Seize fun


Laugh loud 
Purge proud


Dream dance
Fond chance


Prompt play
Sprints stay


Do well
Love tells

david looks at the guy

big
very big

Intelligent
not dumb at all
fast for his size
athletic

the young man picks up a pebble
looks ruefully at his crappy sling

The crowds going wild
jeering
catcalling

david grins
he has good teeth
he's a looker

goliath rubs his forehead
he feels a headache coming on

fortunately

david sprints away
to pray

Time is

                      against

                       us all.

                       It has...

two feet, not one, but two, and it sprints...

     out of reach when we remain idle.

Mellow and magnificent, 
he grazes in the dawn.
His power is unquestioned here,
Guardian of doe and fawn.

Serenity is parted, broken,
peace is split asunder.
Seeking flesh, those famished come,
with hearts of granite, gaits of thunder.

He sprints with vigor, youth, and fear,
he dashes through dark and day,
but keen and starving, they yet are swift,
exhaust consumes, thus he falls prey.
So many kill and die this way....

That ever elusive continuum
Which one thinks shall be, is suddenly now, and then has been already
Consistent, precise, and measurable
Beware the charlatan
Who sprints and creeps with equal ease
Lunged after but never held
You escaped once more 
And then dispersed like the morning mist
Insensitive, indifferent and undeterred
Unconcerned about pain or pleasure
Rude and fickle and frugal
Friend or foe
Is it worth asking
What are you to me?...

Should I tell a pink tale

I wish these were pink printS

Though it were a tale stale

They run more than sprints.



To gain the eye of classic

Eves who wore the kill

To keep a class pink basic

Eves with a beauty spell.



It were but a style bully

Adams who breathed after

Came with results surly

Their ruin beginning chapter.



Yet, they forgot beauty fades

Pink the colour remains

Blemished they, a pure hue

For they had not its true clue....

Speed
Fits need
Where joy feeds


Noise
Blinds poise
In poor choice


Zest
Sprints jest
To know fest


Whole
Pure soul
Pole to pole


Rhymes
String chimes
In space-time


Ask
To bask
In your tasks


Plan
You can
Word your span


Craft
Joy drafts
To fit raft


End
Greets trend
Round the bend


Taste
Less waste
In wild haste


Bring
Each fling
That now springs

A walk through the forest 
a breath of fresh air 
a cardigan feel 
shades  of soft teal 
Soft crispy leaves with audio crunch  
mingled in tariqua paths; 
The humusk and scent of a leaf in the wind 
the musky sweet hint, a permeate fresh ;
  
Here lives the deer 
and the rabbit that sprints  
as I walk through the forest
in search of myself,  
the tinniest leaf falls asleep, at my feet.

Think about the exertion
The schedule insatiable
The orgasmic rounds
He has to make
Greasy, idle hands
Come calling
Sleazy wild glands
And their sweet appallings
Every night
Every day
The sordid sprints and marathons
In every indulgent way
How many tits
Can one guy fondle
How many cocks
Can inspire a rondle
The King of Sleaze
Has begun to wheeze
So grant him respite
Before those horns of plenty
Fail to connect or sustain
His wicked signal of sin.
