Succeed

.

“Success is

counted sweetest

by those

ne’er succeed.”

.

― Emily Dickinson

.

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

small

not microscopic

somewhere in between

smaller than a breadbox

little

.

Senryu:      5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

.

fear creates bigot

one who can never be wrong

your opinion sucks

.

Poem:

.

switch gears
change your mind
let go of fears
let yesterday behind
no more tears
to ugly be blind

focus on love
let the sunshine in
do forgiveness a lot of
kindness is a win win
seek guidance from above
never ever sin

to the ignorant show patience
the best medicine is a good laugh
to the stupid extend tolerance
happiest are those who only take half
perfection is to seek the balance
warrant what will be an honest epitaph

relax
meditate
enjoy life to the max
let karma dictate your fate
let every ending be a happy climax
life should, could and can be great

Don’t Stop

.

“When you’re a

student of poetry,

you’re lucky if you

don’t realize how

untalented you are

until you get a little better.

Otherwise,

you would just stop.”

.

― Tony Hoagland

.

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

don’t

give up

keep on going

achieve your lofty goal

stop

.

Senryu:      5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

.

what was he thinking

selfish, greedy, just for me

love involves others

.

Poem:

.

spending the time writing
the devil I am no longer fighting
not chasing or drug seeking
ten per cent know of what I am speaking

twas a long time spent in the black hole
the curse had me under its control
the stinking thinking still remains
in what is left of the burned out brains

one percent will find recovery
a Higher Power leads the discovery
to right the past for which most are unwilling
keeping a constant vigilance is fulfilling

holding hands with like members
knowing that there is strength in numbers
doing together what we could not do alone
building a proud epitaph for the tombstone
