Best Caveat Poems
My Caveat
Walking, shrouded by the echt loneliness of reality,
I lost my gaze in the uniformity of chaos.
Souls in slumber, malinger around with an ever dying goal in sciamachy,
Rebellious against the fallacy within our Ethos.
As I stepped across these vast edacity of desires,
I alleviate myself from the conformity of reasons.
Excavating myself from forced judgement and guile empires.
Distant,...

Caveat Scriptor
It's not a prerequisite, of course, but if a piece of writing is any good, chances are it's probably offensive to someone. (Paraphrasing John Irving-A Widow for One Year) So, writer beware...
Words are a writer's stock in trade,
To ply it well requires a versatile,
Not volatile, vocabulary.
With words a writer's claim to fame is made,
But words...

Caveat
The brook is dry. The last time it let hear
Its waterfall was seven years ago.
When young, a thin stream of water was here,
Not very big, but nowadays no flow.
Without the vestige of a construction
Of a bathing place during the war,
Difficult to make such a deduction.
Thus drought cannot be ignored anymore.
Farming does not listen to our...

Caveat Emptor
The only true reality
Is humor,
And the fat Buddha laughs,
His fat belly bouncing
In perfect rhythm
With his gleeful sounds,
While we,
With drooping corners
Of our mouths
And furrowed brows,
Think the world a serious place,
So we elevate our cares
And make them gods.
There is no such thing as perfection,
Says the laughing Buddha,
But if there were,
It would surely fade,
As all things...

A Caveat
Indomitable
The thing you never thought before
Totally Unsaid unseen that is
My thought, virgin
It never depends on any membrane
Nor my chastity belongs to my body
It is completely a matter of soul
Conviction is not a matter
That you can cripple it
With missiles and bombs
The spirit of my humanity is not a wire
That...

Trump Caught In Caveat
Caveat is warning or proviso of specific
stipulations, conditions, or limitations.
Trump Caught In a Caveat
In a Corvette with blond, Trump was caught,
With traffic becoming unbearable onslaught;
We know why;
Hung out to dry,
And what could be one more incredible caveat.
Jim Horn
As usual, listening to MSNBC and Smerconish....

Caveat
Caveat
by Michael R. Burch
If only we were not so eloquent,
we might sing, and only sing, not to impress,
but only to enjoy, to be enjoyed.
We might inundate the earth with thankfulness
for light, although it dies, and make a song
of night descending on the earth like bliss,
with other lights beyond—not to be known—
but only to be welcomed...

Caveat Emptor
I learned the lesson “let the buyer beware”
When I didn’t have that much money I could spare,
Took by an itinerant grifter
Who was quite a likeable drifter
He took me for a ride and didn’t even care!

Caveat
The end is the beginning
The beginning is the end
Time doesn't care and the rules it won't bend
His father is spiteful and rigid at best
A Nazi of progression certainly deaf to protest
Offer him bribes of silver and gold
Ask him for more to seek fortunes untold
The pleas go unnoticed he ignores one and all
Giving beggars no solace...

Dark Ruminations with Caveat
If fate opposed is useless, what great need
is there to challenge dark despair's great power
when spirit dies, and soul, mind, body bleed,
as hope wilts like a melancholic flower?
When lungs give way, and breath begins to drown,
should life and existence now...

Caveat Spender
Caveat Spender
by Michael R. Burch
It’s better not to speculate
"continually" on who is great.
Though relentless awe’s
a Célèbre Cause,
please reserve some time for the contemplation
of the perils of
EXAGGERATION....
