Its illumination in

windy stars whipping by

The scarlet cord spurs 
daylight,
stealing through the blue-
black sky.
Moonlight fades away in 
shades
of yellow aura....

May you keep your spurs a jinglin’—
May you cross the flooded ford—
May you ride the range forever
Next the horse that seats our Lord....

Ex-poet Marcel Broodhaers
as an untrained artist earned his spurs
Art definied theories his particular thing
in practical demos & installation bling...

A party was held for wife swapping
But so many bellies were flopping
The wives searched in vain
For something to gain
As any big deal spurs thrift shopping!...

fifty soldiers at a political war 
in the field
suffering  head trauma
Trump says 
they ‘re only headaches
if only his doctors would have said 
they ‘re only bone spurs...

Would Not Let Trump In

In military Trump has never been,
And our patience is wearing thin;
Never waited;
Veterans humiliated;
Fake bone spurs won't let him in.

We journey far
To strange new dreams
Across the stars
And urgent themes
To move mountains
In strange visions
Once uncertain
That spurs action.

Lady Onyx has curvy, black nails;
so resistance she quickly assails.
She needs no boot spurs;
for nails long like hers
serve as tailor made cat-o-ten tails.

I despise anyone telling lies.
We all tell little ones, surprise.
A sin yes, what about spies,
Sometimes under a guise,
It always occurs
Yes, his or hers
Both incurs
Each spurs
Slurs...

There was an ardent cowboy named Redd
Who wed a city girl beyond his spread.
They were a good match ’twas believed
Except she was acutely aggrieved
To discover that Redd wore spurs to bed....

FLATTER



Watch that extra sweet tongue
That curls and swings and stirs
Sweetening the high strung
In clever touch that spurs

Trump Mustered Out

We met Trump at mustering gate
And see him we could hardly wait
Failed having bone spurs in feet
Now is part and parcel of elite
How can a moron others educate?

me-thinks the reasons 3-names work, are vague, succinct and bold
to live beyond the mortal times- spurs work I breathe from here to there
and flying trapeze performed such leaps- dead poets only knew...

A bold, bullly bronc buster called Custer
Broke stallions with sharp spurs and vile bluster. 
As champ his wins caused great grief,
Yet all riders called him chief,
‘Til Crazy Horse twisted him a duster....

This is an ode to Sally-Jo,
Her silver spurs and the horse she rode,
As their mighty leap slowly unwound
They jumped the Grand Canyon in a single bound,
But it was deemed wind assisted as a hurricane blowed....

Transforms the heart to a bigger size,
Raises the stakes in a relationship,
Unseals a new world for someone shunned,
Spurs confidence in the integrity of another,  and
Takes effort for someone hurt in the past....

Her fares
Feed my fainting frame.

Her genial gesture
Graces my gut.

Her beauty
Bands my body.

Her care
Clads my clay.

Her spirituality
Spurs my spirit.

Her tender talk
Tickles my thought.

Her conviviality
Is my compliment....

I played out my string,
  I ran my race

My chaps are frayed,
  but spurs in place

Still one horse to ride,
  with saddle in hand

That last trail awaits,
 —final sunset commands

The lake flows, ups and down,
Enduring hurdles, pain and strife;
Failure, success all come in path,
Yet survives and moves ahead;
'Hope' the magic word, 
Spurs vigour to move in storm,
To meet the goal;

Where no ponies free ranged, I dreamt to break and wrangle paints.
            Where ponies bent, broke and bridled, I dreamt to hang away my spurs.
                 Where no ponies free range, I have no spurs and wrangle paints....

JOURNEY MIND MAP (9/25) — SLIPPING


Style spurs smile
Prime peak pile

When words fail
Still time sails

Do not weep
For lost sleep

Deem sure win
Deep within

Long, low, laden spurs
of bright pink trumpets
lean and languish
shading the grass beneath
that place the greener
for its covering
Above, a bee's incessant hum
perfect pink promises
waving high
against still blue cloudless sky...
