Best Made To Measure Poems
Haiku Passage 8Grass verge
Unnoticed florals;
Unspoken splendour
~~~~~~~~~
Crowded impasse
Wordless faces;
Feisty fest
~~~~~~~~~
Day hurls light
Sparkling tell;
Sleepy commotion
~~~~~~~~~
Forty winks
Sleepy delights;
Late morning sojourn
~~~~~~~~~
Dawn hurls sober
Dreams malinger;
Heavy eyes
~~~~~~~~~
By this wayside
Miniature flowers preside;
Beauty camouflages
~~~~~~~~~
Floral bouquets
Sunny side up;
Dazzling sparkle
~~~~~~~~~
Joy intervenes
Love delights all;
Intuitive spread
~~~~~~~~~
Morning rain
Icy cold feel;
Deep frozen dreams
~~~~~~~~~
Toy dog barks
Simple excursion;
Morning exercise
~~~~~~~~~
End of story

I am amazed at switch the goods
Before so apostolic
And now so different

Are you, my milk tooth
A passion-flower nun
Or an old maid
Married with god
With might & main?
Are you making use of decoy
“Snow Dancer”
As an appropriated graphic
Without mincing words
As other persons do?

You’re...

[Made to measure and tailored to a very tight fit]
Once a woman who could ne’er say “No!”
Met Ascetic: “Why?” he wanted to know.
Said she: “I’m no Vegan;
Meat I munch...

HeightMeasuring a difference towards the level
Leveling the measure no matter the limit
A limit none the less to always keep track
The point at which is made to measure a fact
Limitless to limited to limit what is seen
A limit none the less that is found in between
Lines...

Look OutEverything is changing fast
In the space of clicks and likes
Mind control in overdrive
Your hits and views and strikes
Beware of what you put about
Giving far too much for free
They’re cyber tracking all opinions
We are their targets you and me
Tailor making food for thought
Pokes and nudges...

Reverse Polarity Poetry ContestChanging the positive to a negative
A simple shift of perspective
Takes seconds and changes everything
But perhaps it's like trying to slide uphill
Or replace the apple in the tree
It can be visualised but not realised
Instead of picturing all we want
Perhaps we should be still
Drift with the tide...
