sweltering 
heat prevails as
summer stubbornly
digs in her heels,
refusing
to cool

Night kept me close to her heart

Refusing stubbornly to let me go

While day anxiously was awaiting

My self into her arms to throw!

When we first met
You were impossibly irritating,
And yet, so stubbornly persistent that,
Like a piece of grit in an oyster,
You just stayed put,
Until, over time, 
We created something beautiful....

Tossing, scouring and rolling stubbornly
It tears here and smashes there

Was it an earthworm or a baby snake?
Must it think the loo a posh place?
Tried washing it back to its home
Stubbornly held on, refused to go
Perhaps its left its past life below?...

Full mourning at the Crucifixion, 
And were cursed with this affliction: 

Piebald broods of raucous young, 
The devil's laugh on every tongue....

How ca I retire
So soon ?
How can I rest
Hastily ?
I am not drowsy
Nor am I fatigued.
I dictate
Stubbornly
To silence death
I resist
To escape the doom.
Away from the grave
I vamoose
Away from the edge
I  whizz.

Pour gallons of bleach 
To completely submerge in bucket,
Fat chance; the stains remain.

As I stubbornly fought my way.
So heavenly, I heard a harp
The scene in the clearing that day.
Jagged peaks in lake reflected,
Astounding because unexpected.

Other people also went
to see the elephant
and described it correctly.
But these persons in power
stubbornly clung to their claim....

In pastoral lands
With green fields abound
And high hilltops to search and explore
The old man sheep stubbornly stands
All alone in wind and rain
The shepherd looks on and idly wonders
Whether the wether, will weather the weather,
or whether the wether will not...

Sometimes Sister Sarah seems subjugated
Sometimes she seems simply silly,
Sometimes she suddenly screeches shrilly
Sometimes she sounds sophisticated,
Sometimes Sister Sarah shrugs surreally.

I haven't any motives to bind me
I'm on a greasy pole
unable to encounter the top
Conscience is for somber occasions

A dream is a foolscap
Yesterday was a brown envelope day
Waiting for Mr Goodbar
My conversations have run dry
I lost my credentials
Now we are stubbornly erstwhile...
