Unfair Advantage

Contemplating silliness…

   Unfair Advantage

He’s under the gun
Unfair advantage his legs?
Why don’t others run?

In honor of Oscar Pistorius’ effort and making the Olympics…

The Teams Tied

Contemplating effort and glory…

   The Teams Tied

Lunging they each missed
Facing Russia the teams tied
Recover and hit

   -gl-

In honor of the U.S. Women’s Olympic Epee team that won bronze by a point…

Looking Out

Contemplating responsibility…

   Looking Out

Blaming is a joke
Looking out not looking in
The mindset is broke

   -gl-

Others may contribute, and random chance plays hugely at all times, but we drive much of what comes to us…

Please share your thoughts…

Kept Away

Contemplating hysteria and conventional wisdom…

   Kept Away

Traffic jams unseen
But predicted kept away
Normal traffic weaned

   -gl-

In sympathy with all the starving London businesses whose normal tourist traffic stayed away to avoid the crush of the Olympics. The crush that appears not to have happened…

Going To

Contemplating overcoming…

   Going To

Now he’s running free
Going to the Olympics
Double amputee

   -gl-

A salute to Oscar Pistorius who’d rather just be thought of as a runner…

Could Do

Contemplating life…

   Could Do

Not really a gaffe
Worried about our babies
We forget to laugh

But still sometimes all
Could do with a laugh it’s free
And might lift the pall

Little Boy Draws

Contemplating community…

   Little Boy Draws

Rushing filled with fright
A little boy draws searchers
Missing overnight

   -gl-

A salute to all those that turned out…

Please share…

Into Knots

Contemplating misery…

   Into Knots

Sweating he shivers
Belly twisted into knots
Oh those ghost peppers

   -gl-

Does this kind of foolishness sound familiar…?

Please share…

To Fight

Contemplating choice…

   To Fight

An invitation
To fight cannot be refused
Ego’s decision
