Short Tourney Poems

They call it March Madness
  this NCAA Men's Basketball Tourney

For all but one team, though, it's sadness
  as a stinging defeat ends their athletic journey...

just sat down to have a bowl.
a little soup to feed my soul.
it's cold out there.
it's nice to find.
a place where we can share in kind.
lulu left us in the lurch.
to find a new place we can perch.
hello old friends who've made the journey.
may the best man or woman win the tourney....

Living is a treasured journey,
Not a trophy chasing tourney.

Yet many tend to rush its flow,
Smelling the roses on the go.

Tomorrow shall not seize the day; 
Surely the power of Now may.

Love life as is! The lower pace,
The slower to the resting place!

Our love~
a dance, a flame,
a rollercoaster ride.
A song sung on a long journey,
two stolen hearts sewn into one spirit—
as if prepared for life's tourney,
not to slide as we glide~
deaf to all blame...
sort of.

Alimony,
Palimony,
Dogimony too
Not macaroni,
With acrimony,
Pay me or I'll sue

Send a money heap
So I will keep
The dog that leaped
Before the heat
Of who did cheat
Brought us defeat.

I'll sit around
In my dressing gown
His soft fur brown
When I feel down
He’ll lick to drown
My face's frown

To you who’s horny
This may seem corny
If you’re feeling thorny,
From a sexual tourney
End your scorny
You’re not so brawny!...

Through the thoroughfares,
Started the defiant journey,
Went along , the worldly scares,
Whilts moving towards life's tourney.

Linked up the bits,
Made up the path,
Moving down the streets,
Enduring  life's wrath.

An absolute downhill,
No control on the speed,
Only obscurity and not a still,
Moving forward without a lead.

I'm moving past the scenery,
Learning life with a new vision,
Feeling the nature in its greenery,
Following the path without a reason....
