Best Gambits Poems

When fate pulls at my haiku of heartstrings,
I curse the syllables of my poetic musings.
If I do not express my sorrows,
how will petals blossom in my garden?

Upon the midst of bewilderment,
lost without a bosom for a sanctuary.
Life can cause confusion;
seem somewhat an illusion;
when the mind...

RENDEZVOUS WITH ECSTASY

Had I a nonchalant finesse
Would you a rendezvous acquiesce
Or would my chances be precarious
Having failed with all my gambits various

I’ll try perchance a different approach
Where I give you a cause to reproach
Yourself for lack of sympathy
For one with a unique malady
Of heart ache...

So deep a love to feel
Your muse Cupid would wonder
When the golden chance you couldn’t steal
Preferring instead to explore gambits like a gander

Pushing a prevarication scheme without a clear
Strategy as to where you felt your breakthrough
Would emerge from, dear
Although to your credit you remained true

Supposing...

I like the chess. 
The figures are equal 
and clear the rules
(with a little superiority 
after all of the white)
And various gambits
the women’s and
the king’s ones
are the beauty.
And in the Sicilian 
Defense
the dagger is hidden
but perks up 
(it is only
the ancient game).
I am not interested...

Where there is a petty imitation
There'll be pests, posters of sensation
Grouping of hesitations
Complaints to order, servings of hallucinations
There'll be soap-box amatory slander
About walking coat-hangers slender
It ain't working girl, it's a waling green guile
By his friend in business uptown a mile
By his wife who paints her...

Thunderous palpitations upon benign sedaments,
Miscreants vindicate with justice of six cents.
A vociferous tyrannosaurus bursts sickly
Sanitized wives and rodents scurry very

Sedately towards dainty cliffs and heights
Of unforeseeable depths-withered sights.
A Persian rug is spread across garnered grounds  
Before touring gypsies which please sound.

Great stories gather precariously...

Dribbling

If someone continually gets knocked down
Eventually they will give up the ghost
If around every corner is more negativity
Which of us has lost the most?

Started to believe
More fool me
Be another page
In my sad history

Knock me back
I’m used to it
Should I care
Should I give a

Slovenly winter's sojourn lingers, but dwindles away.
Petulant cold snaps, squalls and hail the exit price you pay.
Riddance wrung from season squeezed by hugs to relent reluctantly.
In dawn's budding yolk core, a sign of hope that Spring's door shunt
Nurtures renewal, renounces enfeebled winter gloom with enlightened...

Thru deliberate seductive
liaisons, ploys, and underhanded gambits,
I tendered illicit, explicit and complicit shenanigans
blatant actions to foment coital adulteration.

Ofttime these discrete liaisons found me removing

Years elapsed since this spouse pledged his troth,
he sported husbandly marital vows courtesy

Life As A Highway Robber

Escape from captivity pulled off

God gave me a great gift of glory
A gift of a good gracious guardian, 
Gifts of Gaiety, Gumption and Grief
God’s gift grants no gates for groveling
Nor are they gimmicks, glitches, nor guilt
Thus, the gift so grand gives Gypsies and Greeks
The same kind of gratitude and...

Not 5 feet tall she does stand proud, 
And trust me she can work the crowd. 
When job’s all done
She’s up for fun, 
And that comes with laughing out loud! 

Her children are grownups in fact, 
All trying to clean up their act. 
Bond not...
