Nothing
Subtle hints of mist
In the corners of my eye
Straining to listen
For your sweet voice through the line.
Rivers pool round misty banks...

unveils a lonely, battered beacon

Clarification
Tom says that the Russian Ruble
Is as firm as Apfelstrudel
Thank goodness for that
As Xi Jinping's hat
Is straining like a wet noodle!...

Bathroom Troubles
I had trouble using the bathroom
Nothing would come out--no zoom
I would have to sit
Straining a bit
Feeling awful like I’m in doom

Casino Crucifixion
White linen ripped by those
Gambling.
Wrists straining against the nail
Eyes moist with blood untainted
Loving all those around him
Forgiving
As He died....

and a grey me
straining on my knees

Muscle Cars
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....

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...

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 Envious and Entertaining
Trump is envious and also entertaining,
But he will stay inside when it is raining;

Always divine;
Never see him working hard or straining.

Obtaining or Obstaining From Training

Of training not requiring any straining;

Never expired;
Or from must always be abstaining.

To Hear Ears Are Straining
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.
