Stitched and gilded fell apart

From his staunch patterns...

Blankness staunch
Doll on tethers view.
Mooring void
Aiming high
One choice is on the table.
To gaze through the dark...

Wagging furry tail
After coming home from work 
Makes me smile with joy 
Seeing in her button eyes 
The loyalty that pets give

Launch Staunch Supporters

What we will  want to do is launch, 
Supporters who  seem so staunch;
Were Faithful full,
With white  wool;
In great shape without a paunch.

E-ven 
R-ugged wind 
R-ocks your true faith, 
Y-our strong love, your staunch hope, and trust in God.

This is about baseball America's game
Been a fan since the forties, sure isn't the same
The shift, the relievers
The staunch believers
But the game's not the same, whatta shame...

Make my day! Clint McRoostwood said.
His attitude was as staunch as his comb was red.
Many scooted away from him with dread.
His movie star status was totally well fed.
He pretended that he was superior, and well-bred....

rough wooden background
light behind your laddered frame
woven bullrushes your seat
unbroken staunch stiff
what spinsters have you held tall
with locked knees and fallen heads

*5/7/7/5/7/7 one of two possible structures...

A staunch Hillary
Supporter so had to give
Campaign a quarter.

So would you say this: 

Haiku has been in 
Completely correct format
The way I see things.

If not, how should I
change it?...

The sun beats down on my garden's back --
Looking up, I squeeze my eyes tightly
Seeking a cloud that will let down
Her skirts...
I mumble a prayer for moisture
As once-staunch squirrels slump
Their faces drawn, like withered leaves...

Staunch, spine straight as a flagpole
    Chin tucked into neckfolds of flesh
  Face itch, lips blubber incessantly... 

    Hips thrust forward... twin bulldozers
  Life expectancy, a speck in a sandstorm
    Rows of medals under gray sash, Iraq...

Brilliant for sure
Perhaps an enigma
Monotony’s cure
Cultural stigma
Secure transactions
Visions of Mars
Free-speech imperatives,
Self-driving cars
Staunch libertarian
Doge crypto bump
But buying a Tesla?
That’s voting for Trump

Prize well each day
That comes your way


Live a staunch peace
With simple ease


Do not delay
With fun and play


Give all to zest
In your life quest


Prize your time here
Touch all with cheer

,

      His thick
        bulky
         solid 
    large hands
  enveloped her
        tumid 
      staunch
    hot breasts

Tenacious he was
  holding firmly
       as she
 to her shudder
   her tremble
         alas
  calm warmth

     last gasp...

Troops fought kings sunk, and nations fell.

saga is marred by our staunch deed. 

grace sounds thru ages, but who tell?

It traps us with stern bars and Greed.

The crocus blooms with jaunty arms
as cells launch spells to quell all harms.

Unforgiving ecologies
spark tough bark with staunch energies

undaunted by brittle terror
since life and strife fill the bearer

with pain made bold by creation
to hold such gold in elation....

The flow of time and I but a stone in the current

Upstream I cannot know,

Downstream but a memory.


Piece by piece I am worn,

To the past I become,

A shadow of what went before.


But I stem the flow, life's blood,

Staunch and strong,

Present in this single moment.

Press hard my friend
To see the end
Dont worry if you win
Fate is not your kin
My lasting thought
I swear I aught 
To wear and tout 
The spring has frought 
Penance is paid
Pain is laid
I rouse this maiden of staunch confused cadence.
The stench of death is the only fragrance...

You are imbued with a misplaced elegance
Unsuited to a staunch buoyant belief.
Remarkable character strength disguised
And spies hidden like the thief.

A spark of recognition only brief
Glimpse a secret divinity spread thin.
A pilgrimage to discover inside
Start outside then work within....

Air, water, earth, fire:
     basic elements of Earth-
          staunch blessings for all of life.

          Water, earth, fire- null
     without fundamental air
gasped to sustain life past birth.

I sense each tree's confident stance
and feel their staunch faith strive
to block all ills mankind rooted
that taint their sky aimed growth.

My soul reels from heartbreak in limbs
though fortitude firmly
determines them heavenly bound 
despite man's selfish ways.

Dedicated to 12 innocents killed by a gunshooter in West Cumbria.

A killer vindictive staunch, trivial systallic gush.
Violate grumble wish washy starling a virent push.
A Wheeler dealer syncopated steadfast ware wolf,
Gurgitation gusty thorough fare tripudiate brush.
Tirailleur timorous tintinnabulation whiffle tingle....

Charcoal polished fingernails poke the clouds,
Gun metal arms staunch and concrete,
flex under the sun.
Chiseled gray palms clasp tightly,
shelter gummed pavement .
Still,praying hands protect Charleston Harbor.
Structual magnificence.
Steel Beauty.
A small piece of Cooper River Bridge history.
