Best Caveat Poems

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...

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...

To ply it well requires a versatile,
Not volatile,...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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!

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...

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...

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....
