when moving the herd
much trouble up had stirred
when each one was spurred...

Fight alongside me

Feel proud of her calm.

As I were her gum.

In a free war, I'd be scum.

I'm spurred by fear and wisdom....

A bunny can hop, jump, and leap
And sit up straight whilst fast asleep 
A tortoise must climb
One step at a time
Spurred on by the Roadrunner's beep...

A sense of wonder at glistening snow
    spiraling high, in drifts it goes  

  A bluebird hops, so delicate, white powder stirred
    Dream on, sweet angel, imagination spurred...

Listen to poem:

Frothing, frigid fjords
Fling forth fine stippled
Salmon, streaking upstream.
Roe-rich fish, flashing
Fat and fulgent:
Spurred to spawn, to spurt
Then sputter -- spasmodic.
Spectral. Unspared....

   Once I wrote a really good poem
      My teacher wrote

   ‘Lightning doesn’t strike twice, Sam’
      A 'D' in the course spurred my belated reply ~
                                 ‘I know, ma’am’

The words of her song
    remained on his lips
  duties of the heart with
    which he'd not come to grips

  The pain that he felt
    as they tormented his soul
  spurred him on to repentance
    renewal of vows ~ marriage whole...

The colors of flame
  have ignited my heart
   A scarlet breeze has
         stirred me

     A golden passion
       now to impart
   The autumn sun has
         spurred me

       I want you so
   The leaves are falling
         and so am I...

he now sees

that life but a play

spurred by desire

amidst dream images

desires reinforced
spurred by identity
seeking to become
even momentarily
doer with the dream
then thus births
dreams within dreams

so called awakening
simply being
exiting these dreams
self conjured
layer by layer
until we uncover
our self

Seat of Rudra, divine power
Joy when aligned with heart
God’s will, bestowing bliss shower
All souls one, none apart 

Spurred by our innocence 
Actions by resonance 
Luminous radiance

Manipura

Caesar preferred to be quietly interred

  But to Antony his friend he deferred --
 
With Rome's citizenry Antony conferred

  Spurred them on with the passion of his words

Masterfully, did he their emotions stir --

  They'd hunt down and kill the conspirators, sure...

I believe in charity –
Simple but profound –
Joy made compound –
Spurred momentarily.

One act – hand to hand –
Across the bridge –
Is one’s privilege
For the strong withstand.

I believe in humanity
And if a smile be requited –
Humble and innocent –
It little cost me....

My horse sense I fancy,
even though I’m not fully perfect I remain,
love worthy.

Spirit gutsy,
gallops driven in my own lane,
I’m me.

Core stirred,
mental membrane
spurred.

My horse sense I fancy,
gallops driven in my own lane,
spurred.

into blue gardens
spurred by the beckoning sun
and fragrant lovelies

hydrangea bliss
too long gone, forget me not
sapphire cornflowers

songs through the grapevine
and irises navy blue
cobalt skies charming

azure clematis
a sense of what's been missing
lilac fragrances...

A nerd slurred a word unheard, to be his preferred password.
A bird flew over a furred herd, be-gird by a Kurd. 
He stirred and blurred, to a curd a third of turd.  
But undeterred he spurred the transferred word, to be heard and conferred.
To reword the inferred referred word, to be deferred is just absurd....

attempts some wonderful 
poets made. It spurred 
me into action.
Hope It was well penned....

1,000 raging horses,
Spurred by the flames of wildfire on their tails,
Harnessed, with Iron chains,
To the locket box harboring your heart,
Could not shred one splinter
From that box
As the unbreakable power of your love
Holds firm the reins,
Through the fire of life,
Of the thousand raging horses
Of my heart....

“Like free roaming stallions - my liberated dreams.”

Apprehensive, I lay my weary head 
on the pillow of each long and restless night
embittered by pursual of revenge
till forgiveness came and spurred my demons’ flight.

A storm is brewing
  just off on the horizon,
a secret meet recorded and denied,
a bully tweet denouncement,
a gathering sense of racial purity,
a separation of ideas that once spurred
 discussion and possibilities
 dies slow but steadily
in hate and angry words
that separate the hope and dreams
that once lay hidden in between....

Formed from duplicity and hypocrisy;
A falsehood foundation for democracy.

Cognitive dissonance spurred into minds;
Attitudes, beliefs, and behavior blinds.

Exposed conflicting ideas and emotions;
While fabricating illogical devotions.

Psychiatry claim to prevent, but obstruct;
As an inhuman money making construct....

Deep in the world, he hides,

burning souls that are alive.

Down in the earth, no way out,

there is no death, living doubt.

The cries of the lost, are spurred,

from above, we should of heard.

Saving them, from their hell,

the words of the lord, to dwell.

Keep us from this, lord i pray,

forgiving all, showing the way....

Doug Heffernan
A goofy and humorous man
He spurred belly laughs with every show
Sad when the King of sitcom had to go

Carrie Heffernan
A wife and workaholic with a plan
She never seemed to get a break
with Doug's demands of burgers and steak

Andy's guided a train
  Flown a small plane
Steered the wheel of a ship
  Spurred a horse with a whip

Maneuvered a 64-foot truck
   Kayaked in a typhoon
Won a motorcycle race
   Landed perfectly on the moon

Then Andy went on a date
  Pop, Pop -- two flat tires
Said, 'I'm not much with my hands'
  Asked his date, 'Can you use these pliers?'...
