Short Tussle Poems

To live is not to stare at a sterile space
            but to embrace those who tussle your hair.

boys
             tussle, roll
          pierce in pace
       toy-cycle in hand
                 lads

Don't tussle and flail when the moment demands to stand still and wait.

Epigram #63:  

HUSTLE


Bamboo leaves rustle
Windy moves tussle
Late notes bring hustle

Once was a fellow named Jack
Ladies wanted a tussle in the sack
To caress his body
Maybe try some karate
Perhaps maybe even a full-frontal attack...

All the ladies wanted a tussle in the sack

The old world is dying, 
And the new world struggles for birth,
It is then survival in the jungle,
The monstrous tussle,
Just for the fittest!
My oath to glower at life.

A tussle
A fray
A skirmish
A soiree

A fracas
A fight
A scuffle
A blight

A scrap
A brawl
A melee
A free for all

A quarrel
A clash
A donnybrook
A birthday bash...

Old Happy Jack is much happier these days
Maybe a love bug has entered his maze
Blocking his path
Must take a bath
Just in case she appears and they tussle in the hay...

the stands are full, one man kicks the ball
fifteen men pursue, it becomes a maul 
referee blow his whistle
concluding the tussle
a try is scored over goal line he crawl

WHERE'S MY KEEPSAKE?

Nothing can we take with us when we die,
No, not a coin or keepsake ~
What are we fighting for?

Bird Brain

Now here is a strange pair of folk
If one swallows, the other croaks
Looks quite a tussle 
Bird wants to guzzle 
But the bullfrog hangs on, says nope

A pale light tussle the dark
minuscule spaces lit up-
friendship starts with a smile

    Solitude chased away and love remain

Was he comatosed
Or had he been kittytosed
When he sleeps the most.

We just had a Carolina loud sonic boom. 
Doors and windows rattled. Our cat
never moved a muscle or even tried
to tussle. If you were kittytosed,
would you want another piece of
toast. Jim Horn...

Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat
had a brutal spat
with a rival cat
for the love of a feline queen.
Those cats would rumble.
They would claw and tumble.
Jehoshaphat through the tussle
showed he had a lot of muscle.
The other cat with deep scratches would be seen.

See the new day hurling:
Waves of goodwill breezing,
Welcome to new sightings.


See the jigsaw puzzle:
Push and pull of tussle,
Strain of mental muscles.


See raw impulse and tact:
Acts create that grand fact,
Circles move to enact.

Monsoon sunshine!

The first rain this
monsoon
Was sunshine 
To me.
For It awakened
In me
A goal!
Washing the 
Muddle:
The tussle
Of Being.

After the 
Clear sky laved in
Silver drops,
The scent of 
Earth remains.
And my slate smells 
Clean and fresh
To learn
The newest 
Lesson!...

A boring afternoon this is,
The dullness of the air and the quiet of the trees
Make up  together a mundane aura,
The one of vacant emptiness and serene horror!


And I, a rapacious poacher of fame
Wander from site to site,
Keen on winning this elusive game;
The tussle between glory and nonentity....

A man drove his car through the mountains,
Past trees, rocks and natural fountains,
When to his dismay,
Saw a man in a fray,
With a bear and was getting a poundin'.

A woman stood high on a couple,
Of rocks surveying the tussle.
He cried, Shoot the beast!
She said, Hold your peace.
The bear may save me the trouble....

Me and poetry are happily married 
The bond we carried 
Took time, nothing was hurried 
Critics we slowly buried 
First I made a simple draft
And started perfecting my craft
To build this castle 
I needed more than muscle 
It takes a psychological mindset 
And the determination to hustle 
Now me and success often tussle...

The flop and flurry
of woozy wings
tromps over hedgerows.
Claws scrabble
feathers flounce.

Here a rowdy cackle
in a coddled coo,
there a hullabaloo
in a ruffled flutter.
Birdsongs pumps up,
balloon into chattering tunes.

Another teaming tussle,
another musical lurch
as sleepy birds
roll off
their nocturnal perch....

Feel the awesome power
of an angry stormy ocean
fill you with both sheer
excitement and fear
stirring ones deepest emotions
Feel the purging wild wind 
tussle your streaming  hair
taste the fresh salty  air
Feel alive
at one with nature 
be inspired thrilled
and in Gods creation.

believe.

The morning eye do I love
it see a new day untouched
a breath of sight so grand
a peace-inner speak-eye

tussle the bed sheet, a flag
that Nation for the sleeper
my Anthem made of murmur
whisper-speak my tender love

and each morning i awaken
do i see my Nation next to me
that Anthem her name and lips
and her voice angelic bliss.

Every day I grapple with sin
Ts the power of flesh within 
Each time I stand; I stand in faith 
...Ts the work of the spirit within  

Good and evil tussle 
My mind is the battle field 
Like myself I won't yield 
Heaven and hades struggle  

Every day I grapple with sin 
Now I am new born 
Twas the flesh within 
... At the cross my grief's  borne !...
