Garden Rock Faces

Aloha poets,

     Can you see the small faces in the garden rock? Inspires today's poem. Enjoy!

Begrudgingly Bankrupt Giggles


Distant dust settles hazy old rivalries
Early globalizers utilized bold cavalries
Market push-ups rely on shrewd junctures
Longevity of tradition bad publicity punctures


By notables to be favored is a skill
Commodities penciled in for the kill
Corporate lineage tries not to interrupt
Proprietary byproducts of profit stir up


To fete anniversaries in a business is to polish
Uproot to reveal then take sides to demolish
So goes the business cycle amidst storm
Earlier antecedent ideas keep warm


Craftsmen trace lineage's competition
Company signature written on petition
Ongoing secrets in generation of tradition
Escape a system to secure a better condition


The first industrial surely may lay claim
Be the best accept over time the blame
Quality goes to market hopefully high
Court battle rage to blame the other guy


Who lays claim to such acrimonious past?
Did anyone think your product would last?
What about your hazy registry of a trademark
In jest you say your gadget will be the hallmark


Another anniversary of your business life
So proud you stand and such an active knife
Held your ground through warps and wiggles
Success begrudgingly befriends bankrupt giggles

Garden Cool Setting

Aloha poets,

     Cool place to sit in a garden inspires today's poem. Enjoy!


Camel Flag Camouflage


Amongst the shadows beyond its working reality
Emerges key thresholds once sunk below a sea
Uninhabitable islands embolden opposition
Last words of a rift a drifty disposition


Celebrate a holiday in a tumultuous year
Position your territory in new issues of fear
Heavy search sea lanes with so sign of easing
Targets goods outbound with no let up to teasing


Upend a campaign with rancor and power
Enrage a friend with wrinkles that sour
Move fresh a vessel in a water dispute
Future fight for real estate not so cute


Levy a property stand strong behind
Actions of confidence led by the blind
Import war rages to economic depression
Private sector hopeful cool heads in session


Uninhabited islands enter the insolvency brink
Brace for a counterattack watch shorelines blink
The fruit of the civilized is search and destroy
Heightened inspections of camouflaged toy

Tropical Cool

Aloha poets,

     Cool water falls against a warm tropical setting, inspires today's poetry.
Enjoy!


Reign Reignite


Systems in the shadows wait and yearn
As the flawed and old crumble to burn
Credibility counts as a vital to success
Ideology crosses continents in excess


Contentious dealings an achievement
Parts far-flung a world's bereavement
Union flaws may endure preservation
Tunes with claws not sure of the nation


Can system success rely on an ideology?
As elegant rooms remain in a messy orgy 
Central authority balances and then it checks
Spending beyond means have their own wrecks


Estates and winery may simply dump its debt
No one in charge asks, "Are we there yet?"
Grab a hand and put some energy into it
Banks buy debt to help out bit by bit


Will stomachs churn for want of much more?
Slides petrify and still knock at the door
To start then restart is a system failure?
Printing money to avoid the jailer


Borrow excessive beyond means
Is a life speculated as kings and queens
Privatization shuns and government buys
To appease the masses with their fears and eyes


Fear of default pushes bond yields wayup
Credibility hard won runs like a pup
Political pressures sway and bow
Central banks moo a cash cow
