When we undertake strenuous physical activity
first we stretch; we move our limbs around
Intense mental activity receives far less regard
we just plunge right in; sometimes drown
Cartoon Character Clerihew

Popeye, the Sailor Man
a confidence trickster who always said, “I can !”
he could do any strenuous task when at sea
on land, he follicked with Queen Bea !
Strenuous work,
Gimme a perk,
It hurts, the pain,
I'm not the same.
Bending backs,
facing the facts,
I'm not a farmer,
A bogus charmer.
And they tell me;
Be careful said he--
It's squash, not squish
You work or you flee.
Walking under the morning sun
Its rays tenderly me embrace
Saying, life a gentle stroll should be
Not a strenuous marathon race! *

* Walking up the hill this morning
this is the... message I got!
Rehabilitation
Broken body, broken mind, broken heart...
the pain is unbearable.
Rehabilitation can be a long, strenuous journey,
more painful than the reason.
Bearing it may bring back the joy of wholeness.
Sandra M. Haight
Finding my way through,
We all have strenuous times too,
Sleep walking my way to the top,
Fighting what I cannot stop,
Breaking nothing that is here,
Nothing to escape my fear,
‘’Settle Petal’’ don’t cry,
We shout out the vivid news,
Your spirit has escaped your shoes.

A thousand miles to go,
I wander on the mysterious paths of life
Believing in the divine
Bogged down by the strenuous journey,
Yet unabashedly marching forthright.
Challenges, fears, troubles, I overcome,
Grow, look back, perplexed, at the momentum
At which I conquer the demons of my fate.
Staggering, you blast out
of the landscape,
sea deep and laced with clues,
the strenuous flight of Bryozoan creatures,
their imprinted pasts forming a photo album of millennium as the ancient calm
overtakes me when
I touch your granite walls by your spouting river and feel
only the effortless
smoothness of your skin.
EVEREST
pinnacle of insanity
only halfway home
so cold
nerves numb
not a vacation spot
near heaven, but not!
deadmen tucked
into beds of ice and crevices
brain swell while they sleepwalk
zombies rise ever higher
certain to hear trumpets of angels
even the guides are thrown down
steeples are strenuous climbs

The pen rushes; unstoppable yet
Thoughts deeply buried that fret
Fullness swallowed by emptiness met
Subtle meanings; ambiguous
Thoughts; so strenuous
Emotions; sensuous
Imaginations vivid and blurry
Overflowing ideas in brevity
Amidst freedom; perplexity
Stirs the mind that fetter
Pages remain in flicker
A torture for every writer

My pillow
Becomes my dearest friend
When I got sorrow or secret
That cannot be shared
Expecially when I'm hurt by
Someone intimate
Someone awed
It absorbs all my sorrow
Like a sponge
Fullest to the brim
Never let me down
Whenever I retreat to rest
From a day of strenuous and tensions
It has all my tears and laughters
Hustle and bustle of life
You go and do the unexpected,
to make, something occur.
When people ask, why you do it,
your mind, is then a blur.
Deep inside, you know the truth,
but you don't want to say.
Something tells me, it's because,
you can not get your way.
Is it worth, the strenuous effort,
to hurt someone, whose weak.
Next time, it might be you,
that madness, will truly seek.
We often strangle ourselves within,
Quietly, choked and suffocated within.
Dare no one can read it,
Not even a close one dared to feel it.
The load that has been weighing heavy,
The grueling and strenuous task to carry.
We ignore the pain and soreness to feel less petrified.
No one sees how much we have sacrificed.
To bridle the feeling and win the fight within.
Unworthy one cent coins
Make up the consuming world
Unworthy coarse sand under your feet
Makes up the wonderful garden
Unworthy sweating manual workers
Make up the manpower
Unworthy short minutes
Make up the precious lifetime
Unworthy strenuous struggling
Makes up the patience to win
Everyone and everything will have their values
And may deserve
our respects or attentions
S-trenuous toil of the servant
U-ses faith, hope, and love;
N-o way will it be nonemphatic,
S-howing vigor to God above.
H-alt not your strenuous toil,
I-n spite of woes and worry;
N-o reason to wane or waver,
E-arly fourteenth of February.
S-alvation day draws near,
I-t gives signs such as turmoil;
C-omplete the race set by God,
A-im to finish the strenuous
T-oil.
Forever is a strenuous road to travel
Heart to heart we stand
Murky, unclear, and confused as we enter this maze
Face what soon approaches
Her hand buried deeply within mine
Longevity is the ultimate mission
Slow down my love, ease your pace
I'm slipping!!
I'm falling!!
I can't get up
Reeking of embarrasment from failed attempts
Forever is shorter than I remember.....
The Divine ask participation
In wonder of creation
Freedom is spelled choice
Guided by spirit's voice
The spirit of our mind we refresh
So that each moment, we can be blessed
To begin from a place of truth, is now
Without forgetting its root
To be courageous while humorous
Frees us from fear that's strenuous
Freedom is spelled simplicity
It promotes peace, joy and tenacity.

“Jog! Jog! Jog!”
Sweats on floor,
Enduring pain.
See good results
To win in a game.
“Move! Move! Move!”
Holding my breath,
Lifting the wheel,
Up and down routine,
Things are so real!
“Go! Go! Go! “
Chairs on rubber mats,
Jumping it over,
Strengthen myself,
For me to discover.
“Work! Work! Work!
Everyday routine,
A strenuous training.
Just keep on going!
Rewards are fulfilling!

Grandpa tomato worm was once again sorry today
That he had switched to apples last Thursday.
Tomatoes were easy, you could chew them up fast.
Chewing up a hard apple is a strenuous task!
I wish I had stayed around to get my raise Grandpa worm said.
His old boss was holding a grudge; her face got all red.
You were the one who left, she said. Have a great life!
It got worse when he got home, for she was his wife.
A cross between insanity and complacency
An ounce of heroism drowned by the tears of depression
The moment has no meaning in the eyes of the audience
Each line is forgotten, even though rehearsal is mandatory
The long haul never seemed so strenuous
Tight roping the strings that jerked the heart
Inconsistent and unrhythmic taps
Disjointed, falling to my knees without answers
My moment of disillusion and confusion
First thing after awoke
I push out the window
To see the weather
To recieve my first ray of sunshine
Hoping it's a fine weather
White clouds blue sky
Reddish flowers
Soft wind
Bustle and rustle in the bushes
Clear in view
The faraway mountain the faraway sea
The road to the end of the skyline
Meeting my dearest sunshine
Before a strenuous day starts
As though you are my only sunshine
Forever shining in the sky
The same rotten life....
Just growing grey everyday....
The same strenuous strife...
With thorns scattered on the way....!
Each day is a challenge tough....
Each moment brings a new test....
Even though one had enough....
There is no scope to sit & rest....!
And some day it would be really strange....
To note that life has almost flown....
While one hardly takes cognizance of the change...
And to agree to surrender life and disown......!
Every beginning of the Chinese lunar calendar
We ashering in Chinese New Year
Which carries a special meaning nowadays
Frankly to say
Just for us
To relax
After a long session of strenuous work
For a complete rehabilitation,
To drop in
After a long absence of contacts
For a hearty reunion once a year
To plan
After a long painful struggle
For prosperity and happiness
To pray
After a long disappointment
For a better tomorrow
Walking forward but still in the same place.
Moving quickly but still stuck in a small space.
Success seems so close but something I never taste.
Time continues but all efforts go to waste.
Reaching for goals in this strenuous race.
Going on hopelessly in this never ending chase.
Moving faster trying desperately to pick up the pace.
The monotony of struggle slapping me in the face.
Thinking of my future but all I see is a lost case.
Restless lullabies deviously pollute my sheepish mind.
Kindly weighted bones keep my soul nestled,
So as to not yet, let it be harmed.
Choking on desert air,
Taking in hollowed breaths from a collapsed chest.
Reconciled tissues release tension of strenuous times.
The only one privy to my silent weather.
Storms in my entrails collide to atom walls.
My outer exterior wilts to such thunderous qualms.
My private storms are never calm...
