Unseen forces pull
Trying to tug us their way
I anchor myself

Who Is Great Who Is Small

Amidst the tug-of-war of wild animals
Enmity ends; 
Amidst the tug-of-war of human beings
Enmity begins!

The Beach and Me

tug-o-war of sand
   underneath frothing footprints —
          swashbuckles the sea

October - Thrust and Parry

Opening the front screen door
    a fierce wind played tug-of-war

  Not to be denied, I tried again
    ~ the chimney whistled in the den

Spy Bug

Her computer had a spy bug
So, she pulled it from the wall plug
She disassembles it quick
Then used a new trick
Giving the system a debug tug

Kite Soars Away N-A

Tailed kite
Drifting higher
Grand sight

Thrill crowd
Gather around
Peals loud

Wind blew
Tug, pull, line breaks 
Shed tear

Take You Bake

You eat your cake, and have a tug
of that you take, of an illegal drug

Your body will bake, and not feel snug
you may not wake, so who’s the mug

TREE SWING

Love’s spirited mood swinging from bur oak

Higher and higher towards sun

Teasing tug of french braids

making it up along the way

a tug of the leash
and off she goes
Lizzy has plans for our dinner
squirrel soup and rabbit ragu

Mush

If your love songs are not meant for me
I cannot read them, I must let them be
Because when I read and imagine my part
Your words, your words, they tug at my heart

Who

She spins in silly circles,
Ranting in ridiculous rhymes.
Giggling, giddy, and girly,
Forgeting fabled fears.
Twinkling tears tug heartstrings
Of her lover dear.

Finding Jesus

When your heart feels a tug
and your soul wants to worship,
and you feel a certain longing
deep within your spirit,
just kneel in prayer.
You’ll find Jesus there.

Rosa Canina

She has coughed red
aortic blooms on kitchen towels.

The blood has a black sheen,
a puddle full of storm-clouds.

I tug the fur around her throat
until she forgets.

Tug-O-War

Tug-o-war
What’s it for
Blows my mind
Every time
Whenever I
Question why
Right or Wrong
Same ol’ song
In the way
That I say
I must see
To trust me

Carol Burnett

Carol Burnett hosted a comedy show
And every week when it was time to go
A tug on her earlobe meant 'hi' to her grandmother.
Surely one earlobe is now longer than the other.

Jealousy

My dog lays 
snoaring loud 
          dreaming of bones
and tug of war.
and his snout out the window 

I lay awake
questioning and 
holding in a 
piss.

Killing myself


with a cigarette.
