who's diet consist of all things green.
Just when the lawn is picture plane
three days later it's grown again.

Trudging down the same path
Present equals past
Red clay
My problems outlast
The runes have been cast
Astray
A delayed forecast
Emotion outcast
I failed

Minds, dusts merge on a running slate
Scorching sun aloft jilted men
Warming up like a sizzling plate
Winds whirling, bodies teeming ten
Trudging on a forsaken den.

the woods a secret
hiding place for herd of deer
scuttles ‘round ‘bout creek
out onto the runner’s road
bested, trudging on her feet

Trudging through
a tangled path of ruin,
dragging the weight of
harrowing hopes and
oscillating oaths,
I shout into the empty sky—
give me Love,
or give me Death!

Remember when trudging through the jungle
It's a great thing to remember so as not to bungle
Bring yummy creatives
To dazzle the natives
Like be sure to bring pizza it's antifungal

Tarnishing through timing
Three times trustingly
Triple traps tripping too
Trounced twice tingling
Telepathically trudging
Teaming tremendous tasks
Tell Timmy to take tally
Tarnished Through Timing

This is a first memory,
Walking next to the pram, you see,
My sister in her infancy,
It was long ago and far away,
Trudging on a hot summer's day,
Heat, dust and veil of flies,
Hot and thirsty, no surprise!

out in the deep freeze
calls from cheerful winter wren ~
trudging through soft snow

I won’t stop trudging
on the desiccated last mile
till I reach the embrace of bliss
waiting for me in the niche
of the promised oasis.

Verse
A light is seen some distance away
Trudging knee deep I’m anything but warm
Hoping I’m not fooled I continued that way.
Coming closer my hope grew stronger
Clearing my brows I saw the glow
Where there is hope there becomes light.

The Door at Journey's End
trudging crystalled snow
the standing people flank me
their prismatic souls
guide my nearing journey's end
to the door where you await

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to smile,but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must,but don't quit

I do not know?
an explorer--trudging through the here and now
picking up what works and stowing it in my knapsack
tossing away the discrepancies of what doesn't
a coward--wondering about what might have been
backpack empty except for dreams
that never see the light of day

Not a leaf moves, they say, sans His will,
There’s no point trudging on a steep hill.
God smiles, veiling His guile,
Says with a perplexed smile:
Fate is fine but what of your free will?

He tread the path
Trudging and grunting
Toward a deadened hope
Vesting on his armour
While taking off
His own honour
Unsheathing his sight
As his trusted sword
He doubled his drag
Then with a song
Sounding his faith
He made a silent plead

When things go wrong as
they sometimes will,When the road you're trudging
seems all up hill,When funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Reset,if you must,but dont you quit or give up stay strong.

Light Verse
I am wounded-
And dragging myself endlessly.
I am moving slowly-
As I am trying to clean the drops of blood I leave behind.
So that no one will stop me from trudging on.
So that I can move more deeply into the fog.
So that no one can see my eyes turning misty.

Santa’s reindeer were scared at his coughing bout
He had deadly corona infection they had no doubt
Leaving the sleigh they ran away as fast they could
Santa found the hospital trudging out of the wood.

I woke up from my dream just in time to see my world fall apart.
The love of my life has died to me; now I’m alone at heart.
I have the strength to stand; to keep me trudging forward.
But stronger only means the longer you are tortured.

Tearing through flesh
Shattering bones
No organs spared
Beautiful child playing with her friends
A fearful confused young rebel
The baker trudging to work at dawn
An elder reflecting and ruing the past
The bullet has no conscience
No memory
Only an inevitable path
Why?

delightful misery, remembering pasts so torturous.
i love them all with a fiery hate.
they could never save me, but i did everything to love them.
trudging through this world with the thoughts of so much pain.
i am no longer human, as i am a machine.
no emotion, no thoughts.
i live just to watch it all go by.

With children in tow
on winter’s heels set off to
follow fine artists
Lovingly lost in copper,
canvas, bright color
framboise, tanager, yarrow
Picasso, Beckmann, Klimt
Woman with a Hat, Nighthawks
haunting, surreal …
Writing, painting, tones
sculpting, gazing, trudging on
weary, fulfilled, homeward bound …

Summer Shift
Searing scorched air as the sun beats down.
People moving slowly in the hot humid town.
The carts they push, the bags they carry.
Makes them feel like an oven-baked cherry.
Trudging home as the clock strikes 3.
They lie on the couch and drink ice tea.
Thinking how hot & tired they are.
Then go get an ice cream bar.

It's New Year's Eve --
My wife wants to watch a movie
It's also raining like crazy
Chicago's weather's not too groovy
I have to admit
Stubborn yokel that I am
That it sure is convenient
To click with one hand
And have movies galore
At a fingertip's flick
It sure beats trudging out...
To the cinema and getting sick
