Best Misdirect Poems
The Beauty of the SoulIt is the house of consciousness
channeled from above
It is the home where dreams reside
The cozy place of love
Invisible, intangible
distinct from flesh and bone
commingled with the breath of life
brought forth by God alone
The coverings that we can see
the body, clothes and hair
can misdirect the human eye
from...

Planning More Garden SpacesZoning by micro-climates my
Yards' spaces, and then
Xeriscaping them to conserve
Water because of the drought, I can
Visualize neat straight furrows
(Under colorful vines
Trailing red, green, and purple grapes)
Saturated with various seedlings:
Radishes, squashes, sprouts, etc.
Quietly absorbing sunlight, and
Pushing roots deeper into my
Organically amended soil.
Nasturtiums, previously planted,
Misdirect insects away...

ParenthoodWhen I was a kid, I know, long ago,
We scrumped apples from neighbours orchards,
Climbed trees, scared bees, skinned our knees,
And once, quite daft, built a raft on the river exe,
Which upended before I knew about vanishing stability,
Or indeed, even my own ability, to do important...

Forty Six Years of WorkLots of praise, but little respect,
So many days, what do they expect?
My job is a maze, to serve and protect.
It hardly pays, last time I checked.
Into past I gaze, hardly time to reflect.
Could have gone many ways, why select,
My choice displays, too late to defect.
Myself...

Life Can Be a Joke That Makes You CrySometimes people manipulate circumstances point fingers;
And paint accusatory renderings of destruction;
Muted with the colors of intention to misdirect and discredit.
But when the dust settles the flags of honor can still be seen flying
And even though a house of love may be under siege;
There may be...

Death KnollOh sing yon violin upon your strings
and play harps and lutes melodious things
come sooth my soul and for our losses
and shatter pain upon our bed of mosses
Dost thou dare to stay our hearts entwined
do cast your light and airy within our mind
so also to...

CareerAs I blunder
Misdirect my course
Falling away
From recourse
I sit and sigh
The time is nigh
To get up and
Stand fast
Get a career
So my family can last...

The TruthThe Truth
I am here to make you...
uncomfortable.
I am the truth,
the whole truth,
nothing less than,
but there is more.
The problem is you never look for it.
You never step outside your zone,
your place of origin,
your home inside,
where you hide....

In Front of Your FaceTake me
Shape me
Misdirect me
You always want to see me
Down on my knees
For ever
And ever
I will always
Be there in front of your face
Screaming
For years
And years
I have been obliged
Followed your rules
Without doubt or question
It is time
for change
MY words
Echoing in YOUR ears
Fear no longer exists
You will always
Try to...

Dialectic
If there’s no god, why show respect
for pain that’s felt by an insect,
for doesn’t that in part deflect
from order’s natural select
which did from soup somehow infect,
cajole or otherwise confect
life as we know it, and inject
complexity, until bedecked,
upon the scene comes Man, erect?
A pain-free god’s what...

The 13 Months In 20162016 began on 8.13 and ended on 9.30 2017.
Betrayed and inhaling for the last 9 minutes,
My mother shooed with imaginary broom,
The puny demon trying in final futility
To misdirect her soul.
She breathed her last at 1800 or so.
Hail Marys pumping faster with each step toward God's...

The Rapist TherapistTherapy is afraid of me,
I'll write it down for you to see.
The mental examination process of my necropolis,
Abomination of mental stability, into a thought abyss.
If you think before you act, you're ability surly increases,
Leave your emotions at the door or you...

Divert them and misdirect

To KathyThe time of your life is now.
Your past is no more
And your future is tomorrow.
The essence of life, and the world,
Is planted in your soul
And grows like wild daffodils.
The light shining from within you
And the peace you radiate
Attract those around you.
Some may try to mislead...
