Best Deferential Poems

Mine is an existence binary and subsidiary.
My ode is to code.
I move only to algor-rhythms. 
I output from your input. 
I’m built to calculate, tabulate, correlate.

Never to predicate, adjudicate, pontificate, 
or demand that you abdicate. 

But the end, my master, is nigh. 

In your haste...

Bright and polite
kids. Deferential
squirrels. Leaders of
leaders. Each man
his own man
living with his mate.
The great and the small,
all, the state.
                    On the other hand,
you find yourself
no hawk
but...

Resplendent in her deferential grace;

Her countenance now wears the strains of time.

I’m hungry to receive her soft embrace.



She fills me with her warmth  - comfort sublime.

Her welcome hearth brings solace to my mind.

A child, I was all dirty knees and grime.



Sweet laughter, songs, and...

Contemplative, taciturn
Willing to commit
An immutable zeal to learn
Endowed with acerbic wit
Endless potential
But having few outlets, to express it
Seemingly aloof or deferential
Unintentionally causing pain
Coming off inconsequential
An indelible stain
Easily misunderstood
Without composure refrained...

Like autumn leaves
the years had withered and blown away.
Her schoolgirl dreams had been set aside or
if appropriate wrapped in gay-patterned paper
and placed beneath the Christmas tree of her heart.

She awoke from dreamless sleep
and wondered who she was and where she was,
but the breathing of her...

Woman warrior invader
of my carefree, waking dreams
Smiting my heart with your charm arrows,
conquering my will so easily
You move stealthily with the grace of a leopard
in the daytime,
and growl, then pounce at night with panther ferocity
Amazon woman, 
I didn’t know whether 
you were gon be the...

It was no longer a vague errand, 
She was determined to accost him 
She had overcome at last the dread 
Of having to face her painful dilemma 
With a vigorous jerk of her head 
She shook off many a great doubt. 

Never before had she...

For a perfect week, and hoping all poets, shared the same.
It was fun winning honorable mention in
the Musk poetry game.


The day before, was a POTD, and though a novice,
Team Poetry  made me feel special.
Bless each and every poet,who took time to 
comment,….. so warm...

She, like dark
liquid alabaster
on a busy street
moves like music
deferential, sweet
She, like spring water
pushed dust before her
gatherers warm hair
on her marble shoulder

All who watch her, pass
stop, look awhile, 
greet alabaster girl 
She dances, laughs
needs never glance
in shop glass
Alabaster girl 
free, beauty abundant
please smile for me...

The prophets of God
need no credentials
to prove to someone
that God spoke to them

When their words come to pass,
that is proof positive enough
When their prophetic song ends at last,
they will have called every wicked bluff

Their only credentials
are in the words that they speak
They're not deferential
to any...

Night may decry its emptiness
within the hours of darkest expectation
when the hope of dawning
is remote.

My messenger is shy, for she appears
above/below my consciousness
though there are times that I perceive
faint brushing by,  her kiss
without a reason why. 

There as the refuge of the day
draws light...

It is a longterm scientific revolution:

THAT, despite visual perceptions
to the contrary,
Earth revolves around our light
and heat SunSource,

And not the other way,
Sun daily rounding Earth,
abounds all our sensory assumptions
to this EarthBound space in UniversalTime.

THAT our home planet's shape
is co-revolving round
and not linear
ZeroSum cause-effect flat,
entropic,
stagnating
toward future chaos.

THAT...

I might not be accurate, precise, exact, and truthful,
And cannot speak to you in a voice more amplified 
than what you hear now,
To the rational thinkers,
I’m able, skillful, thorough, and genuine,
Exhibiting aptitude, capacity, efficiency, and power,
Yet, the shallow minded opined that
I’m facile, showy, cheap, and...

Deferential, I
Eternity await
Submit to your  grace
In my patient state.

 

None but God can judge;
None have his pure gaze.
Write me not your wish.
Tempt me not with praise.

 

Timeless as the  heavens
ternity is now
Mindful of this lesson
Grace will show me how...
