Best Connives Poems


Life Is a Ladder
life is a thin ladder its actors climb.
No matter how they climb, 
Some will watch other's tails as they follow steps.
You might see another going farther with speed,
But that shouldn't impel the eyes to wake greed.
Instead, watch attentively the finesse of his legs .
Learn and...

Borrower
Borrower,
Borrowing appettite;
Increasing gradually.
Weary to live within means.
Handcap of saving culture;
Hand-to mouth disposition.
Lender connives with bailiff!

Premium Member Unquotable Quotes: Friends - Xv, Part One
If you stick your neck out for a friend, you’re likely to lose your head.
A friend is a potential enemy in disguise as a loving wife just before vowing ties.
Friends are of all kinds but the kind you want them to be.
A friend you use...

Premium Member Mamma
Mamma, what a lovely angel you are
Before I came into this world you carried
Me for nine gruelling months,
Morning sickness and throw-ups
Is what I gave when you conceived me
And innumerable kicks from within
Unmindful of your pain
You prayed for my well-being

When you gave birth to me
You weren’t...

Time
ÌTime is temporal
Seasons are permanent 
Summer connives with autumn to make nature fall
But one thing is certain: when winter comes,
nature springs
And the cycle continues 
But the times in two seasons are no same.
Times repeat seasons 
Seasons conform to different times
Expect and respect seasons, but pay...

Since We Parted
Wind sweeps the clouds leaving scorching rays. 
The sun blazes, hides his face; the star winks away 
his age. But the moon, in regal float, bares her 
bumps and crags, unruffled by sun's piercing glare. 

Over half a century since we met; over four decades...

Premium Member The Final Solution III
All hope was vain and nothing could atone
for deeds beyond atrocity defined.
These demagogues turned nation hearts to stone
through apathy and rhetoric maligned.
Though hell’s regime forged mechanized deceit,
the mighty Bear bore guilt for kindred aims.
Barbarity would rage until replete
while genocide lies hidden in the flames.
To thus,...

The sun blazes and hides his face; the star winks, smiles 
away his age. But the moon, in regal float, bares her

Sweet Flower In July
S-weet flower in July
A-ttracts butterflies and bees; 
R-ed roses in the garden
A-re now blooming to please.

M-idst thickets and thorns, 
A-rises one lovely flower; 
Y-oung, pretty and fragrant, with perfume she has filled the air.

R-ain at night makes her fresh, 
E-arly morning mist too; 
G-ood weather...

Premium Member Beware Beguiling Beauty
A lovely lady beguiles a luckless lad
Of unwitting others she might have had

The fairest face may be foul of heart
Deft deceit is how now it shall start

Like fated moths drawn to the light
Novices can't tell wrong from right

This lady then connives confusing witch's what
Spins spells...

Premium Member Pearl Harbor I
A heedless world implodes beneath the weight
and all the West lies smoldering in flames.
And nay a soul finds shelter from the hate
as dire evil seeks intended aims.
The despot waves of fire and iron roll
upon whomever lies within his path.
The gravity of war has taken toll
and...

First King, chose by the people
Grandnephew of the Great King, as the people vote, was unanimous
Next year, King Kamehameha the Sixth died of tuberculosis

Hawaiian marriages are coconuts
Apple's eye, orchard nigh--girls uppercuts
Bees concede and confess
Honey is not the best
Lunalilo stings in-laws -- blood and...

When we follow a this or that cult
The life path easy becomes difficult
Know oh hermit, the entity that strives
Without so realising, with ego connives
Whereas in truth, nothing need be done
Because God and soul, already are one...
