Love....

Laughs at obstacles in the way
Overcomes bigotry and prejudice 
Valiantly goes forth and multiplies
Emitting a will of its own over us...

Greetings!
We offer congratulations, and welcome you to death-ground. Fight valiantly, or be massacred. Lunch will be served, at the completion of human hacking....

Dainty gauzy cobweb holds on valiantly retaining essence
Impressing Kansas fescue grasses and lovely Queen Anne ’s lace
Not intimidated by cool northern Arctic winds...

Paper crisp, dead brown, leaves
cluster between the straggly vines. 
The potted purple petunias valiantly
hold their final blooms, alive and regal
within death’s grip, refusing to surrender....

Valiantly Driving Vehicle

Once was valiantly driving my vehicle
Ran into a problem ending up in a pickle;
Lane shift or change;
Mentality derange;
Have been happier riding my bicycle.

Vigorous cold creature 
Valiantly lingering 
Voraciously preying 
Vicious during the night 
Vulnerable in day 
Vetting the source of light 
Vampire, afraid of light

After berserkers violated, nonviolent, virtuous, souls
residing in Ireland's verdant vales, 
victims vented their intense disliking of the vile, vicious, 
violent, vikings by valiantly fighting back victoriously....

tracing drops that scatter shoot
down the bedroom pane.
humming head I can't refute
that bed she calls my name.
 
fighting slumber gallantly,
I need to write some verse.
my eyelids dying valiantly
yet insomnia is my curse....

Life only means life 
when sorrow is sturdily liberated 
from a fearful heart.

Yet the strongest heart valiantly beats
when life frees life
into liberated sadness,
not to fearlessly beat but
befriend sorrow.

Always beautiful creations delivered.
Each form generated.
Has idealistic journey.
Kaleidoscopic,
Living movements,
Natures own power,
Quaint resolute serenity,
Transferring ubiquity valiantly,
Wafting xenia,
Yearlong zealousness...

Come all freedom fighters
Come all you who are fighters; soldiers and gladiators of freedom
Come, lets gang up and fight tight close
Lets lock our shield together tightly
Come, lets be one and hold tight
Come stay close and fight valiantly
For us it is freedom or death...

On shards of glass I would gladly rest, 
To ease my Mind, but I think it best
To sleep upon a wave's cool crest- 
Lying gently on my Lovers' breast 
By impulsive choices I am caught, 
I surrendered, though valiantly fought!
And all this searching hasn't brought 
Me any closer to the Truth I've sought...

Crystal cloudy lessons of pathos.
A dawning awareness in the gloaming.
Valiantly, a melancholy soul goes on.
Toward an unpredictable future.

A frosted flake without a growl.
Left to grieve forevermore.
The shadows now have walked away.
Looking for the sun in a sky of grey.

through the flame cover me
in sound dignity
for with what one is willing to achieve
valiantly
feel the breeze
nestled through the trees

shaped through your dreams
a piercing of the skin
new hearts to begin
again

live a beacon of light to a much hurting world in need of love
draw strength from the joy you experience day by day
lay hold of a secure foundation never nestled in the grave

As a teacher, I do so agree
with all those parents
 who support me valiantly
  
Yes, the school experience should be sunny
a teacher's job, too, is worth more money
  
  And when kids' futures are shafted
  as happens more than occasionally 
  it's especially un-funny to me

Yet teachers are and never have been 
renumerated well monetarily
  Their true rewards are sought and found educationally...

Vivacious veins of hope

       Virus still spreading fear

                       Veering variably

                                               Voices warbled ill-use

                       Vaccination striving

         Vicarious breathing 

Vanquished foe valiantly

What is scar tissue compared to a wounded soul,

A perfect life is one with secrets untold,

A lost love leaving behind an embedded dagger,

Into the cliché of life we valiantly stagger,

Hoping for redemption or dignity regained,

Is there any priceless pleasure without resounding pain?

All the while we seek ever elusive peace,

And toy with the frailty of our beliefs,

But in the end it’s all the same,

When you are alone there is no one else to blame....

Saguaro cacti rise up like mighty sentinels 
boldly claiming the high desert plains
tall and proud, their prickly arms
forewarn intruders to stop and beware.
 
A daunting presence, bold and majestic
toughness flows through their cacti veins
Saguaro endure long hours in the barren wilderness 
with roots that persevere under dry, hard crust.

With no respite, save for the night
Saguaro rule valiantly in a god forsaken land.

Into the burning infernos they charged
With valor and courage and hearts enlarged
Without concern for the risks ahead
They ventured to save other lives instead
New York’s bravest and finest pros
Reacting valiantly in terror’s throes
As a nation looked on in shocked surprise
Our heroes became angels before our eyes
The sacrifice that their families made
Never in this lifetime can be repaid
But we can help them stay proud with no regret
By ensuring that day we never forget...

The road to glory,dead in fields
the fallen men,with broken shields
who gave their lives so valiantly,
the price of freedom for you and me
The road to glory dead in fields

Mortars falling from the sky
when they burst,men will die
for our freedom it came to be
The road to glory dead in fields

The best to offer our Country's yield
greatly outnumbered, their fates are sealed
fighting an enemy they rarely see
my last tour here then home I'll be
The road to glory dead in fields...
