A one-sentence verse
I wonder: if a guy who used to look gun muzzles in the coal-black eye
and often felt a sharp-edged blade put to his neck at the carotid,
was burned alive at stake, constricted, drowned, hanged,
and hit by cars, and torn by bears, and by some sordid aliens banged
could somehow manage to survive and stay of soundest mind,
would he feel nervous, too, when visiting a dentist?

The New Year's Present Perfect
The New Year festive holiday to which I was so lovingly preparing
has passed (!) at last (!), but was it what I was so anxiously awaiting
from it to be — the merriest one of now, too, passed few new year's days?
I don't think so, for what it turned to me, the proper words are "no less than frustrating"
than any other day I've lived so far, no matter how I may be now pretending
to have been reconciled with how I have been living my rather long years, day by day...
I do hope, though, that you, my friends, have not been grumpy, like me, old, on this fun-filled, exiting holiday,
Happy New Year to everyone!

"Shit happens", as the common saying goes,
And always does it happen way before you know it.
But once it's happened, blow your nose
And say: "But that's all right! It could've been rather worse!
Next time given the chance, I ain't going to blow it!"

Be carefull dear,
This morning and day,
In car, in the office, in bed,
Anyway!
We should be alright,
Any day, any night,
Be ready for challenge,
For Black and for White,
This life is like movie,
Just watch, don`t relax,
We can`t change it now,
We can just reflect.

Хотя из совсем другой ветки, но на затравку пойдет. )))
Дальше, поживем - увидем.
Cold sea waves ragingly roaring,
Are breaking hard onto the shore.
Above them seagulls are soaring,
Their squeal barely heard in the roar.
Nervously are the birds lancing
High and low in the sky,
Frightened by the distant something
That means someone's going to die.

Sowing the sea with the dead.
There, the gulls will go prowling
When the fight comes to its end.

Из старого, но чуть по-новому
The science says that we all come from the primeval apes.
If it is true, there is no wonder why we are so good at aping.
And that's why our manner of speech, gestures, poses, gait
Are someone's whom we knew before and now are imitating.

They who've been destined to find their way through life
All by themselves by multiple unheard-of trials, tribulations,
Dark thickets of despair, loneliness, exasperations,
Or what it else may need to turn them into what they may become—
Imagine their goal before they start their motion of the worldly vengeance
For their wretched, as they well may see it, previous life.

Excursion in Moscow
I live in Moscow and know,
This town`s beautiful and nice,
Don`t you believe me? Well, let`s go!
I`ll show places, girls and guys.
First railway station, every morning
We go there, if you ain`t VIP,
We get on train, look at the window,
Yawn 2-3 times and fall asleep.
Next`s our Broadway, way through this town,
I like this street, (and my respect),
The nicest girls and nicest buildings
You!ll see on Moscow prospect.
If you are bored, it`s not problem,
There is park, please sit on benches,
I garantee, in 1-2 hours
You`ll catch a lot of new adventures!
I like this town, central market,
Old dranken man, who sings so sad,
This is my place, it`s our Russia,
Can you choose better? No…нет.

victor, hi, my namesake!
That I'm not all alone here with my itching desire to rhyme some of the crazy ideas I may have once in a while (like what follows, LOL!), this alone makes me feel somewhat better )))
The life of every man is only by one of the two final results fated:
He either dies surrounded by the ones who (being alive, he thought) him dearly loved,
Or by the ones who (he knew for sure all his life) him absolutely hated.

It's good when your thoughts resonate with the others'
And better still calling those others your brothers
And better yet when they're close at your shoulder,
Their boldness in fight making you no less bolder.
Each one feels no other than what you are feeling
In what you believe they all are believing
Of what you may fear they all are in fear
What's dear to you, to them also is dear.
...
No one is thinking of death to him nearing
Each one knows his life's at its very beginning...
And better still calling those others your brothers
And better yet when they're close at your shoulder,
Their boldness in fight making you no less bolder.
Each one feels no other than what you are feeling
In what you believe they all are believing
Of what you may fear they all are in fear
What's dear to you, to them also is dear.
...
No one is thinking of death to him nearing
Each one knows his life's at its very beginning...

All I need
Sunny morning`s like a kiss,
All I need for happiness!
...I remember all of sudden,
Town-house, dacha, garden,
New adventures, happy end,
Smart and beautiful girlfriend,
Car for daughter, car for son,
Mersedes or new Nissan,
Trip to BAli and New York,
And for daughter little york,
Well, you know, how it is,
All I need for happiness,
But this night I`ve heard the Voice,
"Hey you, dude! You don`t have choiсe",
Live right now. Pray and wait.
Look around. World is great!
World is beauty, world is mine,
Follow me and you`ll be fine!".

victor, Am I happy you're still with me! :-)

Who said it was there? To me, its the three syllables and the dictinctly pronounced /eit/ in resonate that does't seem to break the rythm. It would, though, if it were a rhymimg word, which it isn't as far as the rhyming lines go. Do you disagree?
