Best Precarious Poems

I glanced to my left and I saw your face. You were a fading memory my brain could not erase. I thought I saw you once before, standing over by the door. It was a precarious love burning a hole in my heart, a heated...

Public Figures live a life that is filled with angst
and paranoia, always wondering where
their enemies are, so they experience ambivalence
when venturing far,

Naysayers often crawl out from the woodworks,
taunting and acting like jerks,
The perks they get from notoriety is pale in
comparison to the anxiety overzealous people...

Straddling is safe with grips each side secure,
    but progress requires the flip flop position, 
    secured on one side or the other, not looking down or back.
It’s iffy to lift a foot implanted
    with footholds...

Dreams, precarious in the night
Flashbacks of never a time
And the memory breaths,
A touch to liquefy bone
As fear takes residence within the mind
Pleasantry is frightened by the night
The darkness penetrates the iris
Blinding only the eyes
While the mind dissipates from reason
The wakening within the dream
Mutes even the...

and here we are
in our castle built from cards
one gust of wind and we go
down down down

grand illusions
mere delusions

curiosity getting the best of us
in spite of red flags waved
in the heat of the moment
warning signs cast aside
caution thrown to the wind

For all that it is worth was contained in a single droplet of thought
in symbiotic deliverance
shall pass perhaps unnoticed by a billion suns
or find it’s way in chaotic course
discover the enchanted spells of Icarus

And in form so complex present itself

Centuries coalesce into a single moment...

Precarious Playing Her Stradivarius 

She is in a position which was precarious
While fiddling on her fine Stradivarius
Marvelous sounds from it would emulate
To hear her again have hated to hesitate.

Crossed a bridge running over a creek
Much more magic music started to seek
Ascended high hills and through...

If I left you this moment
there may be a chance
Monday morning would greet me
with nary a glance

but such is not my nature if
there exists the possibility of
pushing the limits of the limited
testing the finite calculated ability  of . . .

So there she goes again

PRECARIOUS REALITY

insistent
    incoherence
deplaced
   broken
 as    coloured
 confetti

surmounted
pierces
  the soul
with anguish
&
rehearses
   nothing


THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two...

Precautious poem glad you enjoy;
Read next one about Trump Toy;
Perfect  excuse;
Be born to lose,
With erotic tactics he did employ.

A tripod of God's Word, Divine Service, Acts of Kindness do we rest on

God's Word's forsaken by most; the language of the Service, foreign

~ Acts of Kindness keep the World from Chaos and Warring

Trump Put Us in Precarious Position

Trump placed us in positions that are various;
Some had appeared as if they are precarious;
In does chorus,
I am notorious,
For songs and dances having been hilarious.

Causative agent of disease
One of several variants to appease
Void of any discriminating abstractions
Interaction breeds human contagion
Distress inflamed in us by slow vaccination

Vaccine does diminish Covid effects
Antigen activity does reject
Chills that instill fear among us
Coughs that grip lungs, with expulsion dubious
Immunizations, please make haste
Never ending cautions...

I find myself in quite a precarious state.
Uncertain as to why I was so quick to acquiesce.
My heart flutters with excitement. 
My body trembles inside with fear.
The thoughts race through my minds eye,
like an out of order stampede. 
That of enlightened speech.
It is an unique...
