Short Toilsome Poems

Life is made,
but it's not toilsome, unless
we perform weakly...
life is fair,
if we offer it fair value...
We serve and we are served,
we live, and we are
lived... !...

Cast
Down
Daily
Thoughts unflag
Life disappointments
Winning inner demons voices 
Replaying the same tune in the mind as a scratched disc
Leaving a deep feeling of unworthiness and rejection, toilsome to overcome

Cozy craze calls
Art answers all


Airy act airs
Feel funny flair


Toilsome tale tells
Splice succinct spell


Cream cozy craze
Mull misty maze


Poke pretty pen
Thrill touching ten

Dazzling dream

Beholding Truth with great assurance
Essentially claiming its reality as my own
Life becomes more clear and focused
Intentional security as I live, learn and grow.
Even when trials and toilsome troubles come
Voices that cast great alarm and doubt
Ever that foundation go, BELIEVE throughout.

Feisty form flips

Ink invokes ire
Feel flame forge fire


Meet mellow mind
Flirt flooding finds


Speak simply sound
Rancid rate round


Taste telling times
Reap rippling rhymes


Cast clumsy cheer
Prompt poignant peer


Taste toilsome tell
State spicy spell


Laughter leaps loud
Petty poise proud


Word winding way
Prize punctures pay

Sisyphus pushes his rock up hill
While Atlas bears his load.
Damned by the ire of capricious gods,
Forced down a toilsome road.

And so it is with the gods of thrill
Who trap and hold you fast
With opioids and images,
Perniciously unsurpassed!

Beware the promise of wealth or skill
Contained in a bottle brown.
Hold to the rod of simple truth
Lest you be taken down!

Free fickle fancy
Dwell dusty dreamy


Folly freshens fate
Digest dreary date


Explore empty etch
Bury brilliant batch


List laughter lovely
Play pretty proudly


Fancy floods freely
Jumpy jerks juicy


Tasty touching tale
Symbols striking sale


Naughty nerves nimble
Timely touch tumbles


Be beyond boasting
Toilsome times toasting

THE POOR MAN'S HOME

In a Poor Man's home
There is no wish 
Not even on your dish; 
No choice, but not boresome. 

In a Poor Man's home, 
Nothing is found on a silver platter;
Not even on a clay platter; 
No rejoice, but not toilsome. 

In a Poor Man's home 
You can't pay your fees 
Not even on your knees; 
No voice, but in all, its awesome. 

But tho' it seems today bitter 
It'll be tomorrow sweeter....

Curious cheer charms
Apt ample arms


Taste tensile tell
Writes work well


Bright blessings brief
Glimpse gentle grief


Sad story sells
Trite troubles tell


Motive mind maps
Taste toilsome trap


Watch wonder work
Juicy joy jerks


Note nature near
Face floating fear


Mingle mild mood
Gain gracious good


Live laughter loose
Nude naked noose

Feel feeling fine
Live laughter's lines


Glimpse gracious good
Frame feisty food


Joy juggles gist
Lift luscious list


Sense surging sense
Touch tasting tense


Heed hurling haze
Craft cheery craze


Voice vibrant vibes
Taste toilsome tribe 


Rich ripples roar
Set sublime soar


Time tells taut time
Meek mumbles mime


Heed hearty heap
Sense slumber sleep

When the road is much too toilsome
And I feel I can't go on
You've always been there beside me
To help me walk along

On the days when I felt like dying
Beautiful thoughts where sent my way
Every one of those beautiful thoughts
Assisted me in all of my day to day

For this I can't repay you
Righteousness I don't deserve
In all of your infinite love for me
Evermore will it be
Now I have found my peace
Days of my life have been complete...

EASY #2:


Nude naked norms
Silly stance storms
Feel fleeting form


Watch weary world
Twist toilsome twirl
Spill selfish swirls


Lift lasting looks
Brilliant boom books
Coy crafty crook


Discern deep daze
Mind murky maze
Cheat clever craze


Vet vicious voice
Ply pretty poise
Niche numbing noise


Spread sanguine spell
Wonder works well
Timely tale tells
