nauseated, I urged to go back.
For an imprudent girl would surly die
if to continue where angels cry...

Come and stay we urged them.
We’ll have a blast!
We did not have blast.
They came two days too early.
We were prepared in no way.
Worst visit ever.
Last one also....

My son went for a checkup, wound up in emerge
Docs were alerted, thought he might be on the verge
He's only fifty-two
Has a stressful job beaucoup
Tests proved negative but caution should be urged...

Sound
of the birch-
urged some tardy traveler
along the flowery path to drowsy nooks.

Gleamed,
the dark moat and
the castle walls droned.
Wind moan'd, disbranching a sliver of wood.

They fall over themselves
Rush to tap on the blessing
Urged on by the holy man

Wallets are turned out
Blessings are decreed
Souls upturned await

They study not the word
Preacher has a direct line
To the creator and maker

The intrepid Admiral David Farragut during the Battle of Mobile Bay,

Urged his hapless seamen to battle with these immortal words that day:

"DAMN THE TORPODEOS - FULL SPEED AHEAD!"

Easy for you to say, Admiral!  (Who was safely ensconced in the 'head'!...

Come on she urged me
It will be fun
It was. Three hour drive each way
I am not looking forward to it

God pushed me down on concrete steps
I caught myself with two fingers 
Wrenched my back

There was no way I would go now
Too miserable though 
To be grateful...

Listen to poem:

Subtle consequence
of two, in isolated
lives, constantly urged,
too busy, not adequate

time, working, till their eyes touched.

Vigil O’ camera point this way-

A female insists this magic role 

Whose own ogre claims hearsay,

Which I’d term logical, smile stole

A thousand flashes a coil merged 

To see the girl what ogre claim;  

And u o' girl came, they urged

Some oil, cream, glamour, fame....

Prisoner of desire
Screams of poison
Need so dire
Few were chosen

Wanting to worship
Urged to proceed
Living no purpose
Watching him bleed

Repulsive to hear
Moans that haunt
Crying bitter tears
Language to taunt

Emotions so raw
Torment taking over
Flames that engulf
Always coming closer...

Do you remember?
when you said you loved me.
Do you remember?
when you said we're meant to be.

Do you remember?
how I'd hold you tight while you cry/
Do you remember?
how, each time I failed, you urged me to try.

Don't you remember
the promises and vows?
Did you forget?
'Cuz I remember even now....

Mac gave a ring of pearl to his sugar
She showed the ring to her dad, a jeweler
Termed it as false and fake
Returned quickly to Mac
Mac urged,” Gift of Sham Rock, refuse never”

Today we experienced our first winter storm. The polar vortex rumbled its way towards Texas and in its wake, it left us with snow and ice, hence the inspiration for this poem.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it falls,
slides 
with joy
a dream?
longed for,
urged,
wished.
winter’s
first present.

I don't know how?
And I don't know why?
But I finally feel it 
And day by day 
I see it
Someone watching over me
Even when I am wrong
And why me?
Why not me?
And why only now?
Its like I am being urged
Don't quit its not to late
Get set
Be ready
Show me 
How much you want it?
You're deserving to earn it....

There was a lady from Montana
Who fell in love with a banana,                
Which had such an appeal 
She felt urged to reveal
They planned to elope to Havana.

She rented a seaside cabana
Nested between beach and savanna.
At a party she threw
Came a Chiquita new
And the new two flew to Montana....

He has nothing left but a triangle of faces,
An old rake,
And a heart that won't stop beating
For all the invisibility of life:
The pushing of a boat upstream,
The angular intentions of voices,
The steel nob of your car door,
The shouts against the wind.
On his beath bed the Buddha urged us to
Strive....

King steered the mares out of the valley
They began to run as if the wind was chasing them
The prettiest sight he had ever seen

He lured them from the clutches of the evil ones
He could hear gunshots behind them
Faster! He urged them

They came at once
A harem of grateful women
Who understood he was their savior...

Monkey-menace ever kept increasing,
We, the poets-confidante, went on chasing;
Anger-blazing, my poet-fried, inquired:
What about some poison in pears covered?
Could, a poet, said all, be a killer?
Urged him to read: The ancient Mariner...

First ghost was his wife,
to whom he was sworn,
fading, thin, bandaged,  
in the far northern city.

tubed in another world or no world.
Nurses and social worker 
urged him to chose life.  
But the deep promises linger,
 
in pictures with cheery captions 
from his children.
He tosses in bed 
and lets the quilt 
slide off his legs....
