Anselmo Boles Poet Rhyme

Presumptuous

Presumptuous



                                  City slicker, soul breaker

                                  Night hawker, headhunter

                                  Fire starter, mayhem maker

                                  Risk taker, maniacal monster

                                  Forecast reader, global disorder

                                  Bogus soothsayer, dreams slayer!

Paula Goldsmith February 3, 2023 at 10:50 AM A creative write. The world is mad and I am living in it. Have a great/blessed  day............... Anselmo Boles February 4, 2023 at 3:39 PM Thanks you. We're in a rotten world at the moment, thinking positive it won't smell worse as time goes. Hope the sun's up where you are!...ab

Marikate Kingston January 21, 2023 at 4:28 PM Makes me think of a news report I saw the other day about the number of alligators found in people's pools or the increase in bears that wander into yards. Who is responsible for the "mayhem" of which you speak? Sad. Your poem makes me think of an old song by Joni Mitchell, "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot". Anselmo Boles January 21, 2023 at 6:35 PM The world is in turmoil, country against country, tribe against tribe--humans dragging nature's wonders to extinction. Forest, grasslands turned into concrete jungles, just like what Joni Mitchell's lamented. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Marikate!...ab

Joseph May January 17, 2023 at 5:30 AM The beat of the city filled with mayhem... Anselmo Boles January 17, 2023 at 12:41 PM Like Earth, or some messed up metropolis! Lol! Thank you, Joseph...ab

Gershon Wolf January 16, 2023 at 7:16 PM To pluck something out of context: I was a headhunter, believe it or not -- and sometimes I don't even believe it anymore -- from 1979 - 1981 and 1983 - 1987. ~ He of Nine Lives Anselmo Boles January 17, 2023 at 12:38 PM You must have been in some Special Forces squad to have accomplished your missions! Lol...ab, Peaceful Warrior.

Victor Buhagiar January 16, 2023 at 1:33 AM There are so many of these evil persons and probably more. No wonder this world is in turmoil. Anselmo Boles January 17, 2023 at 12:43 PM We need "Champions" to defeat Evil. Thanks V.B...ab

Sotto Poet January 14, 2023 at 9:59 AM Anselmo, It appears like we are both sipping from the same fountain since I just loaded a poem that is quite similar to this one on how the global crisis has affected people all around the world. I truly loved reading this poem today. Anselmo Boles January 20, 2023 at 9:53 AM We were Lasaad. The fountain next to the Xerox machine! Lol. Thanks for your appreciating this poem...ab
