Best Purloining Poems

And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.Judges 14:18b


They plowed with the heifer, 
A stranger of a day,
assigned from the pit,
to bring a Samson down.
She feigned false affiance,
with a mission so deliberate, 
trans-versing...

GOODLUCK

Gutless muffled monarch wooed millions to the poll, 
Our feeble lord enforced by pathetic speech of poverty (I once had no shoes) 
On congruent grounds of pain we forced him, though we hated his coterie. 
Disappointed, we wail waiting surrogate to lead to unending journey...

How often have I asked
why did you enter my life?
I was happy, even if in isolation.
You felt that I should share.
Do not birds share their seeds?
Do not fish swim in shoals?
We were not meant to live
on an island all alone.
So you stole my heart,
I gave...

Brownie broke her beak today
Purloining potted prawns
Despite Will’s whistled warning words
To only eat from lawns

But  Brownie boldly battered
that toughened  tin top jar
and broke her lovely beak in bits
she’d pushed her peck too far

but wily Will he had a way
to triumph testing trial
so searching...

In slumbering slope they lay, 
their gaiety snores in rhythmic peaks of cadences,
The lily livered japes 
Kings from central castings,
Heroes of one hour, 
jostling  for President with mere words      
Resigned  to bed now, save one. 
Cowards, afraid of...

Victoria is my muse, I can't get her off of my mind
Refreshed by a vivid elegance with sun glowing golden hair
She is like no other, enchanting my mortal mind
A wonder if she is softer than the finest veil
Love and lust winging in my heart
Purloining the...

Smelly Stuff Absorbed 

There are many words for those excrements that appear on the fabric in
incremental solid and deliquescent motions because ingestion fulfils that
autonomous need to shed ablutions but here I declare ‘Waste not Want not’

Whatever notion ‘**** happens’ frivolously or weighing heavy on one’s...

The Wuhan experiment concealed,
The cunning crafts devised,
Myriad of ignorant mass their targets,
An agenda unmasked, 
Polluted atmosphere 
Forged idea of a prepared viceroy.
"Mask up"
"Six feet"
"isolate"
Inauguration of the control game.
People's servants turned tyrants, 
Ignorant bunch of scallywags in power, 
turned virologist overnight.
Unending speculations.
Copycats as figuheads.
Dictating to dictators.
Europe...

“The storm has truly unleashed its full fury,”
The perfectly coiffured, newswoman says.
She is not worried about the low taste
Of purloining these old and outdated clichés. 

Over and over the same words repeated,
Until sensitive folks shut the set off and leave
To pick up a volume of...

A vast multitude adorn in dregs purloining, 
Fashionable filth clocked with piety, 
Showmanship on sacred alters, 
Multitude of compromised public orators. 
Fair formalities of professors void of sincerity, 
A subtle subversion of ancient landmark. 
As scandalous abomination alters this call,
The affinity of sheep and the...

Growing, manifesting, enlarging as the minutes pass. Teeth mashing together, grinding back and forth, licking its lips voraciously, eyes keening in for a meal, done letting time circle around, done chasing it down like a dog chases its tail.
It's ready.
Done playing around, done waiting for...

Like God amassing gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh,
vain potentates, possessed by pride that riches will confer,
depleted pillaged villages in pagan days of old…
With penetration privileges, their fortunes were foretold.

In feudal times, chaste clerics, cloaked, wrapped rings around the mind
with hymns of magic, mystic...

GOODLUCK 

Gutless muffled monarch wooed millions to the poll,
Oozing pathetic speech of poverty (I once had no shoes) 
On congruent grounds we let him, though we hated his coterie.
Disappointed, we wail, waiting substitute to end the reign of quack 
Lacklustre, insipid and a pervading naivety....

We have toiled, 
we have laboured. 
we have launched into the deep,
we wearied ourselves in tempest. 
endangering our lives for filths, 
Our summer too short for relief, 
and the winter too long with pains, 
we bore the shame, the jeers and mockery. 
we met with...

Idlers, paved  paths with active energies, purloining,  feigning amity.

Dodgy &  concealing past immoral dregs  by comradely, waspish mien.

Obdurately empowered by this stranger plucked from their nocturnal fantasies    
 
Wanton mistresses of countless broken walls in desperation for time.

Unbridled...
