Short Towing Poems

You can't push life
When you're drunk and wild. 
But if you pull upward, 
Then you'll remember one day
That you're towing a cart
Loaded with food
On a hill
On backward days....

Hey wait, that's not right you nuggets
A “toe” is a body part, “tow” is for towing
Like dragging a vehicle
Instead of by people
My understanding of English is overflowing...

A simple farmer he was,
Towing his plough along the field,
A golden shine caught his eye,
Digging he found coins and so much more,
Riches beyond his wildest dreams,
A new plough he would buy,
Just a simple farmer he was....

Lafayette we are a shamble of noises
digging the street and towing cars
as I told you so for my two twenty
that I pay for and you delivered hundred ten
or may be a sewer to extinguish a fire
stop tropicana for a drink of coconut...

Getting on
getting right with God
is for a heathen
easier said than done

Washing clean 
this sinful machine 
created in an image
but towing the line isn’t fun 

Where can I get
this blessed truce
I know to well
how to pursue hell
but how in the hell
do I follow You?...

Ime calling unto you 
cause i dont know what to do

the sand giving way
underfoot

towing me away

to where angels often put


sagebrush candles

drywash weathered vanes

rusted simple somethings that mean

just the same

as the feeling I get

when calling yr name.......

Pumpkins shaking on the vine ,
what the bloody hell this time,
runners crawling cross the field ,
towing pumpkins its unreal...

Jack the horse," it's feeding time."
"how about some red red wine?"

true story mine ....Don

ole quarter horse Jack just knew how to get him a feed......

Listen to poem:

Lakes lie limpid imponderable, 
glistening and glassy.
Looking like kites hanging 
suspended in the sky,
towing streams as shimmering tails,
wriggling in the wind.

Lakes and streams are inseparable, 
codependent, bedfellows,
each alike each other,
with wet bed bottoms
and wet watery entrails....

If you are into business not 
church related, park at your
own peril;
God forgives, but Kowalski

do not!

 Hatred flowing,
People on a spree of stealing & car-towing.
Having the mind of positive wants,
Then Children acting as if they don't know the do's or the don'ts.
Jobs are hard to find,
I think I'm losing my mind!
Helping others but no one helping me,
Can I please just flee?
From Being in this world,
In a World,
of All of this & More!! ...

The garbage barge is floating large,
A tugboat smoothly towing.
The seagulls swoop, a noisy group,
To follow where it’s going.

I sit and stare, quite unaware
Of who might pass behind me,
But those who know where I might go
Would very quickly find me.

Unless it’s wet or winter’s net
Has trapped me and it’s freezing,
I’ll be right here, the river near,
To all my senses pleasing....

Fifty five year old me will be a gypsy. Solar powered bike/ car hybrid towing a tent will be my mode of transport. Unfolding continent selects destinations. Isolated majesty I will claim enrichment from.

                                           spinifex spikes paint
                             sore heart splendour patched up dusk
                                            remedies sunstroke...

Sometimes my heart glows
 like a beacon it shows
 shining brightly through
 the night and also in daytime it close
 it strikes a shining pose
 it's strikes like lightning shows 
Like zagged ridges rolls
between towing down like running waters
 from the stars to the ground
Sunshine sun flows
Moonlight nights as my heart glows

I had to think of something 
For me to say or do
Because now i'm on the edge
Leaning towards losing you
Tip towing to the end
The dirt began to crumble
So I reached out for your hand 
But you looked down and smiled back
And continued on your path
As the earth fell towards the sea
I saw you reached for something
I gave in and brought in hope 
But she handed me a note
That i should have come
And joined her also...

When people in positions of power cannot be trusted,
It tells the tale of a corporation in trouble,
because thoughts are not consistent,
most have been incongruent,
setting rules and guidelines and then
renegotiating whenever their whimsical
thinking feels it is fine,
Most of the time the trustees of power
are towing the line,
with their diabolical games of cloak and dagger,
"cutting against each other"....

So I'll burst forth like a seismographic telegraph,
Churning forward verbs and nouns,
Begrudging the kind of adult looks you get
From people who are too scared to be honest.
The ones who yearn for the wild,
But are to rooted in the towing of the line.

To them I say: rip yourself out of your chair.
Breathe unknown air.
Lift your soul towards the simmering clouds
And feels how it is to burn yourself through 
In cool, slow tempos....

You all should know my aim:
To hit the lasting fame.
I wasn’t made a lame, 
Not, at present, Old Dame,
And great prizes could claim…

Men who to Peaks lay claim
Forget not strength would wane:
The once fleshy turns “Cane”
Exciting bubbles ‘Pain’,
Much labour “Little Gain”
The Sane “A bit insane”:
Soon, Towing Van with Crane…

Not washed away by Rain
Here, there or in Bahrain.
The whole shame, the whole Stain…

Don’t join The Delay Train....

A tugboat named Mary
Was towing a barge.
The tugger was little;
The tuggee was large.

They glided on past
As the sun hit the river,
With engines a’chugging,
A load to deliver.

I marveled at Mary,
So cool and in charge,
Using all of her might
Just for hauling that barge.

It doesn’t much matter,
I’m sure you’ll agree,
If the strength and the stamina
Stem from a “she.”

Proud Mary is out there
To prove without fail
That for fortitude, one
Doesn’t have to be male!...

A smart sore, in time your threshold increased.
Deadly in missionary.
His
invitation
extends when unafraid.

Let loose,
upon firm and voluptuous gifts these women sit.
A cushion secured, made from just cheek and some meat.
Expletives in-between.

A gander
so golden my eyes are still rolling.
Holy Roller.
Into that wagon she has been towing.
Ocean Royal,
can't stop, won't stop when I've gone non-stop.
Insider witness,
all reports confirm your club just got shot up....
