Just an extra inch

...In sports as life a missing extra inch 
That winnows winners from whiners of fate--
Faced with no way forward, those who’d not flinch, 
The rest of chaff gets stuck whilst at the gate. 
Easy neve...

Her shapely metal figure was baby blue,
but there was much more to her.

...Crazy dreams cryptic holidays 
Living floating above
It's a carpet or a rug

Living to forge forgetting to follow
But look in the streets

Swishing madly,
Hurdling across the pitch.
Beads of sweat
Spraying in spirals
As fingers point,
Shouting directions
To strikers, wingers, and defensemen.

Defensewomen, really.

Premium MemberI Show Who I Am

...My back is seen running away from the naysayers.
I doubt they have ever seen my front, not that I care.
Family whiners get to see me from the back also.
I might be running even faster from them.

...When your wells run dry,
and blue is all you see in the distant sky,
I'd create grey clouds for you and cause water                                             to flow below from parts unknown, IF ...

For whom life is a gloomy sodden day,

Whiners – stay away.
Complainers, gripers, grouches grumpy grousers – no thanks.

...Do they blame another for their aging,
           painful life? No!
           This is only what the untransformed

and demured more gorgeous women
Told my heart's out for the others

Asked myself for what they've said
