Thank you both for your critique. Your support is highly appreciated.

BELLY LAUGHS POP
(Double Accrostic)

Bellow, bleat, blather, blow, bloB,
Every laugh’s absurdity is in somE
Lanky’s lair making him squirm and waiL
Laughing while his belly will lolL …
Yelling, chortling, snickers all gigglY.

Lively tunes rhythmically lulL
As you take a breath and rise, A
Universal communication in perdU
Glorying in its transience that belonG
Here to help you revere each laugH
Simply to make you feel younger, and haS

Princely returns, for you to droP
Over reality into a world where chortling’s toO
Powerful to be beat by a slumP.

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Swimmer’s Regret

Art has many forms that astound,
Paintings in oils, acrylic, water colors,
Poetry, imagery, similes, metaphors,
Sculptures of: wood, metal, ice, garbaged

Items repurposed into beauty that dumbfound
The beholder, listener, audience,
Whose aim is to be moved by peace
That’s striking In its presence to abound

In frames Of a sea cradling a swimmer,
Embracing his every stroke with power
To be driven to complete the competition as per
The rules, self-imposed, to strive for better

Health, wealth, status, and self-acceptance
That doing your best to achieve
Your goal is a noble undertaking to live
Without Regret of passed opportunities and brace

For the turbulence of life, mirrored
By nature’s squals, tornadoes, quakes
That compel fear to rise, never breaks
The mold except for those whose faith is grounded.

So the swimmer cuddles through
The cresting waves, never deterred
By the onslaught, pushes toward
His goal letting life sink into pores that flew

Into the stratosphere, accepting
The warmth of the ocean as it entwines
Life’s struggles with joy that rhymes, like vines,
With belief’s empowering structure of believing.

Staying Power

What’s poetry if not an agglomeration
Of words in rhyme and rhythm?
A world of poetic devices, accommodation
Of varied styles, structures that’s not grim?

What’s a love story
If not one that has a start,
Climax, and end that’s happy or gory?
Where pink tinted glasses reflect

The author and audience’s
Need to escape life’s duties, stresses
That place tremendous pressures
On couples needing one anothers happiness

Without needing to compromise
Or putting in the hard work required.
‘What’s love?’, in that case?
That’s the staying power of being loved,

Loved for yourself,
Loved for your strengths, weaknesses,
Loved for your imperfections put on a shelf,
As your greatest power shines in smiles

That never dim while facing despair.
