Best Astutely Poems
The FlamencoEmotional tension fills the air...
Lights and laughter everywhere
A fiesta audience waits eagerly for a night of passion.
The dance of Spain and a sensual dancer
The Andalusian Gypsy dancer
El baile flamenco tonight…Ole!
The guitarist enters…masterfully
Displaying his unique musical talent.
His music...

SorryThe usual ashen sky
cursed the frozen road
because nothing ever changed
on that long ride home
The car skipped over the icy patches
as it so astutely had done before
there were no tepid words or half smiles
just a rattle in that old, neglected door
Yet, somehow, the car made no...

Narrative
Drug CultureThis what would happen in an alternate Universe
Many things would be different and oceans dispersed.
There's no such thing as hunger, water or air.
Because everyone's a vapor without any care.

We float around ambiguously trying to speak
Listening to the sounds of the impermeable weak
No one told you...

Is Your Refrigerator RunningIs Your Refrigerator Running
Late at night while sleeping or in a trance
Contemplating philosophic thoughts about the universe
Children called on the phone and postulated
An age old question about refrigeration
They shouted loud into the receiver
“Is your refrigerator running sir?!”
(I added the word “sir” since they did...

They Burned Another Saint: Joan of ArcJoan of Arc was the holiest one living in an era of kill-and-take,
she led the French army against the British who were slowly advancing;
was she forced to disguise herself as astutely as she could by wearing
soldier's clothes to prevent brutal attacks and possible rape?
Tied...

Warranty DeclinedSeems that with nearly every purchase nowadays for a fee,
Sales representatives want to sell you an extended warranty!
I reckon that's fine should you purchase a washing machine or car,
But the warranty that I was offered today I thought quite bizarre!
A warranty for a disposable camera...

From the Top of My Heated HeadI thank you all for allowing me
An astutely marvelous opportunity
To spark synopses atriums
And bounce ideas from craniums
That is the mattress under lights
Where rocket ships prepare for flight
They launch for space in peaceful moods
And head for bulbs of orbing moons
Like moths that orbit thought balloons...

Integrity of ForestsStudents enjoy a question
often wisely asked
especially of teachers
parents
and preachers
who seem not too often recall
curious younger learners,
deep listeners
If I must choose
which to trust,
your words without compliant
healthy resilient action,
OR your less mindful actions
not supported by your invocations
for divinely healing reactions,
Like telling your kids not to smoke
in-between stinky...

Excuse MeExcuse me!
my son's bus driver exclaimed
as I walked away from his wheelchair ramp this morning.
I had not finished putting his safety harness on.
Excuse me,
without exclaiming,
means please cut me some slack,
I need to break into your flow of unconsciousness.
My curiosity about apparent invisibility
may exceed your courage...

AbsolutelyAbsolutely, and astutely;
Positively, most assuredly.
Yes exactly, matter of factly;
Not despite’ly, simply rightly.
Days blue, or sunny and brightly,
Stars in the black and beautiful nightly.
Quaint and cutely,
Bold and astutely,
Not to be rude’ly, Just Absolutely.
Absolutely, play the flute’ly
Facts not always believed with proof’ly,
Without refute’ly, speaking...

Vision of SapphoBefore a pagan shrine, a witch reveals the gods’ desire
And sees a cryptic vision cloaked in her enormous pyre:
The blazes have the wit of lightning born of rain and fire
And magically filled with deep, eternal knowledge brought
To life on laden summits swept by ancient songs...

Who Are YouYou caught my eye as I passed by
Astutely dressed dark suit and tie
Hair well kept eyes of green
Tall and svelte broad and lean
You filled my dreams with love and lust
A visionary quest I behold to trust
Sweatsoaked sheets pillow held tight
You captured my soul from first...

Our Values Should BeOur values should be written
on posters with a believer's conviction
to incite a protest and end it
with peaceful intentions;
if others don't agree, ignore them.
Our values are the image
of ourselves, of what we proclaim to be
without compromising our introspective
towards the opponents humiliating us;
isn't victory obtained with a...
