When someone whines 
About my wrinkles, folds
I don’t care...
No matter what....

Like everybody else
Can’t help but see
Their whelps,
Whines
And system
In betweens
How it goes
Is how it seems...

Self-discipline whines
discounting hefty losses...
Demanding dessert

fallen, rotting tree
a short pause to sit and think
what was in this exact spot
one million years past?
my dog whines impatiently
as if he already knows......

There's a poet gun-shy 'bout limericks
He sure wants to get over that right quick
  So he's penning these lines
  He's refraining from whines
Hoping that his good intentions will stick...

They roar up the street in a thunderous way
Where are they heading? The great big highway?
The engine whines as they push the metal down.
We hear teenagers’ cars straining all over town....

America’s decline…
war chanted whines
A nation in half
quicksand in our path

Altruism dead
alone in our beds
No one left to blame
—married to our shame

smart blue jay whines sharp
busy proudly building nest...

Wind

wandered

whispering

when wondrously. . .

Whoosh!


“Wail,”

went wind

while whirling

with wild whipping

whines.

I have friends who whine to me, so I whine back naturally.
Now my cat whines at the door. 
He's much louder then before.
This sound I can't ignore
Never wishing to offend, I
need to end this whining trend.
Ear plugs....

My guitar sings, it’s reverberating strings; dance with my fingers.

My dulcimer cries and whines; telling folk tales, centuries old.

One with the strings, their harmony brings elation, to my soul.

Put
on your
walking boots
the ones with the
old frayed laces,
So I can take my grief
where harsh wind whines and rages,
tearing across desolate hills.
I shall lean myself on your shoulder.
Say nothing, let me sob into the rain...

She cries like a baby,
And whines till she’s held,
She is a baby,
My baby,
My sister,
She cuddles,
Like a mother and her child,
With me.
She drinks milk,
And is cute,
She balances with ease,
Oh my kitty,
I love you so!...

 Tails 
 Wagging
 Happy barks
 Contented purrs
 and cheery meows,
 Delightful chattering
 Jumping for joy, elated
 Jubilant hugs and joyful whines
 Humorous antics to make us laugh
 Overjoyed greetings with licks to the face!...

Love lusts longingly
Hate hurts heartily
Marriage mars mercilessly
Wife whines woefully
Husband hustles habitually
Sex sells shamelessly
Politician preys persistently
Priest panders pompously
Cash corrupts completely
War wrecks wantonly....

Pictographs concoct

Quaint flavors

An appetite blooms


Ginger locks descend

Passion skates

A micro death sparks


Pixels synthesize

Collections

Of synchronized whines


Lips laced with temptation

Eyes descending sunsets

Elements of resolution...

Whines, complaints
You surround me
But I tune you out
Your mental garbage is not heard
I won't allow it
I treasure peace
The beauty of this world
The tranquility of my mind
Look at life as a dance
Move with the flow
Learm more
Dare to be more...

‘Princess’
in mess

Flicks hair -
Beware

Bad mood
Is rude

She whines
At times

She pouts
And shouts

Mummy … 
DUMMY!!!!!!!!!!

Stamps feet
Retreat!

Can clout –
Watch out!

Prissy 
Missy

Spoilt brat –
Hate that!

A fool
A rich father
A poor boy
A dream
The theater
Of experience
One whines
The other screams
The reckoning
Once predicted
Is here
The world in flames
The fool
Just canon fodder
The boy,
—his riches claimed

Out the window a gray gradient forms
Out the window a black cloud storms

In the room a light shines
In the corner a rat dines
In the street a child whines
Below the couch my shoes remain
Across the world a falling rain
In my heart a solemn pain 

Minutes 
to 
go...

Tweedle the teensy bee was being hauled along with a bunch of stuff.
He thought he was an afterthought, and said to everyone “sure enough”.
Mama had her grip on bags of junk, and he was the end of the line.
She rolled her eyes at his protests, a bee who knew how to whine....

The heart words its sweet lines
Pen marks papers and has tough times
Passion and duty, each one whines
And my soul with art chimes
These are a teacher poet's rhymes.


I wanted to write a Lind6886 poem but not for any contest!
 
EXAM TIME!!

Thank you so much, Robert.. Best regards....

Shards of glass
riddled with ambiance
radiating through the ages
shape-shifting the speed of sound;
the effects upon eardrums produce
extra terrestrial qualities
between distances
a gravitational pull whines
retreat with honor
