In the corners of my eye

Tom says that the Russian Ruble
Is as firm as Apfelstrudel
Thank goodness for that
As Xi Jinping's hat

I had trouble using the bathroom
Nothing would come out--no zoom
I would have to sit

Feeling awful like I’m in doom

White linen ripped by those 
Gambling.
Wrists straining against the nail
Eyes moist with blood untainted
Loving all those around him

They roar up the street in a thunderous way
Where are they heading? The great big highway?
The engine whines as they push the metal down.
We hear teenagers’ cars straining all over town....

Premium Member There's a Poem In Me
There's a poem in me
  straining to come out
Caught in the miasma
  of my fears and doubts

It yearns to escape
  to take off and to soar
Who will hear its cry
  and free it evermore...

Premium Member After Forever
After forever
footsteps wash gently
from the sand
each grain
a sacred moment
straining to touch
a sunset
adrift 
in an abyss
of adarkening
forgetfulness.

When strength want to start sustaining;

And then repeat;
During length of life you have remaining.

Trump Envious and Entertaining

Trump is envious  and also entertaining,
But he will stay inside when it is raining;
French win,
Always divine;
Never see him working hard or straining.

Obtaining or Obstaining From Training

Right kind should always be obtaining,
Of training not requiring any straining;
Reading required;
Never expired;
Or from must  always be abstaining.

To Hear Ears Are Straining

After both of my ears again were straining;
Heard Barr experienced obedience training.
And he must,
Have to adjust;
Down on him Trump's power will be reigning.
