The cold stifle hits
down I go to the deep pits
rise I will again...

      stifle genuine trials

    Leave onlookers tasting
      a discharge of bile...

Honorable mention, a clever invention
To stifle "not good enough"s blow 
An ego, conceited, though truly defeated
"So I am the champion?!" NO...

There once was a girl called Denise
Who was desperate to stifle a sneeze
She had a good go
But it was a big blow
When she blew all the tops off the trees...

Gustave Eiffel's tower's an eyeful.  
The view from its top makes me stifle 
a gasp when I look down.  
My stomach flips around; 
I might just lose it in a trifle....

When Ben's beliefs they tried to stifle
He decided to jump off the Eiffel
Being of magnanimous mind
Uncle was exceedingly kind
Instead offering him his new, automatic rifle....

the firing of a 7 foot

notoriously silly ideas parade in my mind
I pluck three out, the fourth is a terrific find.
my muse is getting prissy
listen to me missy!
You better not try to stifle, hide, shelter or bind....

Violent despair grip me like an addiction,
love conceals it’s magic.
I stifle the cries of broken heart.
to silence it forever.
bury it, too fearful to hear it again.
Pitiful for wasted love....

Oh, coffee pot!
I am all agog at how you clear my brain of fog
Each morning I rise before the dawn, climb out of bed, stifle a yawn
I give my thanks to those above for that heavenly coffee, I do so love...

I am cautious
slightly anxious
mildly noxious
truly selfish

Trapped in blandness
so dangerous
unknowingness
I am toxic

With a wine-dark mood
I stifle my laugh
resisting a blush
conceding too much...

ICY SPOT
Sub artic winds
Drifts of frozen calling breeze
Domination winter stifle
pungent ice breaks concrete

Sick waves tumble guts.
Quick gags stifle lunch.
Motions blurred gray illusion,
Icy spray sea infusion.
Slate fogged sky ahead and back,
Compass swinging out of whack.
Skid, slip, spin, and fall.
Don't panic, swim call....

Don’t stifle laughter.
Many great things such as happiness or relief
come after.

Enjoy a gaffe!
It can even lessen your grief
to laugh.

Guffaw
for some relief.
HA.

Don’t stifle laughter.
It can lessen your grief.
HA!...

There are many things to which I'm averse

   I know the Commandment says not to curse

      So to stifle my tongue

         From bad words bein' flung

            I'll fix vexations flingin' rocks at a hearse!

For good or for worse.

When chickens are blessed with biting teeth
Spiteful snakes slither in your bosom
Times past and future overwhelm
Your mundane life and stifle
Howling winds thwart you forward
Keep spreading your wings
Make your pen stroll
Turn to the
Supreme 
Lord....

I take controlled and specific aim near the shackled flowers
       Where the horde of wizened weeds loiter and elicit strangulation
       My cartridge carefully loaded with mordacious poison
       You shall not trifle, nor stifle my blooms, Here's to your cessation!

What he did to simple Mark 
With a sword 
Left him with a complex mark 
In a ward …
Endless cries of “Oh!  My  lord “  
“I’ve broken somebody’s spinal   cord.”

Before then, parading a rifle4 
But from his Dad getting eyeful, 
Who would a begged laughter stifle
As blood-letting isn’t a trifle....

Sometimes I stifle my laughs
Not because I am ashamed of them,
But because they are too loud
Laughs have always been too loud for his liking
If I am too loud, he might wake up
He doesn't like being woken,
So I have to choke out my laughs,
Or he’ll choke me out himself
Sometimes I stifle our laughs....

Blade of a fan
Or a knife
Took some getting used to.
 
Pain of it all
Factual or perceived
Pain is pain
Love is love
Not one in the same
If they were
It would not feel this way.
 
Novocain that wound
Stifle that feel
Reinforce that steel
Light
Will eternally
Penetrate
Even if it is amongst the fake....

I
She was a prophetess
Dealing with vision, words 
Then came political correctness
Some tongues are incarcerated

II
Have you paid (absurd)
For your every word
Some want you "wrong"
Others say, "Go along"

III
Dr. King used diction
Minus hate, violent action
So did Diedrich Bonhoeffer
What would you offer?...

Deep regrets lying dormant in the mind,
Stifle the thought processes lodging there
They mingle not with concepts refined,
Unless dislodged, they foster grim despair.
Remorse for past deeds you cannot repair
Will seriously tarnish your delicate soul
And from your good life take a bitter toll.

I have met the sweetest little wonder.
I am feeling so wonderful and loose.
This little cutie comes from down under.
She’s like a golden egg laid by a goose.
I can endure the lightning and thunder.
Hold the vodka, give me plain orange juice.
Don’t stifle this feeling.  Just let it grow.
To Australia is where I shall go....

Cartwheels across our floor
       her artwork covers our fridge
    Naps like an angel, cries like the devil
       explores the world, full of courage
  
    Can I go to school with my friends
       she asks, her eyes two blue saucers
    You'd like that, wouldn't you, I shudder
       ~ to stifle your growth, I mutter...
