Mowing

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

I Failed

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

Premium Member Winding Desert Of Men

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.

Ultimatum

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!

Tarnished Through Timing

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

First Memories

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

Premium Member I Won'T Stop

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.

Unrelenting Storm

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

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

Thinking Through

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
Form:

Explorer

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

Free Will Stuck On Isle

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?

Dont Give Up

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.

Premium Member The Silent Plead

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
Form: Narrative

Wounded

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.

Premium Member Santa's Reindeer

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.

Stronger

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.

Syria 2012

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?

Memoir of a Broken Human

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.

Art Museum I

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 …
Form: Choka

Premium Member Here now this morn

that we act as a signpost offering hope
to other weary seekers trudging along
our poems cajole our soul group to elope
with Cupid humming a melodious song
dancing at the edge of a slippery slope
asking us to discard fear and become strong
to which end if firm be resolve we evolve 
as the stillness point around which worlds revolve

Premium Member Summer Shift

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.
