US Sports Report

When playing basketball
being tall is best it's thought
but that's not all
wearing saggy baggy shorts on the court
needs keen hand-eye coordination
plus being fleet of foot
and have no quibble with dunk or dribble
if through the hoop a Wilson you wish to put.
As for American football
boring from the sideline I find
it's more talk less action
namby-pamby as opposed to

Traction Stornello

Now I have been forced into this position,
I hate having to change my plan of action.
Left to start this ball rolling to gain traction. 

This demeanor so commonly full of poise,
I detest the use of superfluous noise.
The rest of my arsenal surely deploys.

My reflection slowly begins splintering
as indignant skin succumbs to blistering. 
What I’m repeating

Traction

When I’m driving or the lights go out 
keeping pace with the dark I overthink;
Second winds of second guessing mount;  

I can’t get my mind and calm to sync 
so the two can exist in tandem;
Any rejuvenation’s squashed in a blink; 

Make shift thoughts collide at random
detonating quiet with a chain reaction;
Here then gone

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

Kicked To the Curb

There she lies, all bruised and bleeding.
She always gets up.
There's no conceding.
She'll never comprehend the reason.
Was it too easy because she was seasoned?
Another's strong emotional reaction kicked her to the curb.
Now she's in traction.
A broken system in the dust.
Whom can one truly trust?
Regardless how cloudy some days seem to be,
the sun will break thru eventually.

Action's Gained Traction

Where have all the novels gone
  Name three good ones written
    in the last thirty years...

  Seems they're on the back burners
    in their place, 'page-turners'

Spring Farm At-Traction

Once in a garden I saw,
Just by an old workshed door
Bulbs in a pot, 
that looked really hot
On a spring bought at auction for sure

The promise of  growth in repose
Perhaps daffodils soon would make shows?
Though winter's been dreary
Soon new growth would  cheer me
From tractor spring; sprung support all a r'ose.'

Desires Gain Traction

Desires gain traction, as we choose
Dream crystallisation
There then thus being no excuse
For fate lamentation

Be still lama, choose joy
Devoid of ego ploy
Reclaim bliss; be not coy

Law of attraction
Desires gain traction

In Traction

Those horrible things you said
Daggers in flesh
That is already dead
They serve to remind me
That your pain 
Is greater than mine.
