Best Reasonable Poems

Do angels walk amongst us, to be honest I really don’t know 
     My answers may seem rhetorical, for what life tends to throw 
    Could well be our imagination, reaching out tendrils with clasps

There’s no suitable explanation for
me- no premise by premise,
with a slight scent of rosed misconceptions
leading to my conclusion.

Scientists? Well they’d have me
believe i’m the effect of some
orgiastic collaboration of molecules. 
But without my mind, i’m lost (and
they cannot fix that with surgery)

skeptics aside, why am...

Is there really an omnipotent entity
that created all we survey,
with the power that gave us the gift of life
and the rules for us to obey.

Some say that God put us on earth
just to carry out his will,
but we break all his commandments
even teach each other...

Dark to black and beaten skin to living bone. 
Chosen by name and marked by birth. 

You hang me, cajole me and yellow badge me. 
You segregate, strip and stick me. Jackboot, 
shoot and gas me, but most of all you humiliate 
me. You denigrate...

My parents gave me countless gifts as a child.
Some appreciated, some not so much.

Most were of the material kind,
And only the most precious ones survive,
Even less of those will be around for my grandchildren,
Though I will do my best to make sure some of those...

 Bang! Bang! Who shot and killed
   Jeanette and Harvey Crewe?
 By whose hand was their blood spilled?
   The cops they surely knew.
 Two fatal shots rang out that day
   and to a grisly murder led -
 no witness...

Beyond reasonable doubt. Triolet.

Beyond reasonable doubt, 
I thought that was the law. 
In this land that I was born, 
beyond reasonable doubt 
meant justice for us all. 
Keep your faith and let right be done
beyond reasonable doubt. 
I thought that was the law?...

A billion of leagues
and one pair of legs

Hundreds of smells
So many tastes
torrents of views
innumerable colours
and one nose
one mouth,
two eyes . . . barely.

Countless strangers,
endless loves,
only one sex
and one heart .

Great opportunities,
a few good things
but an infinity of bad
and just one chance,
a short and brief life.

Years I have banked there, we’re almost related,
Today given notice account(s) terminated, 
It turns out their fine print allows without cause
A denial of service! It’s fine by their laws!

Well this Heritage, I found, has specious intent,
Check out Page 41 (if they don’t pay your rent),

Our Left hemispheres repeatedly seek stable reassurance,
hopefully not so much about

Am I the fairest/ugliest
of ThemOthers all?

But more maturely
rationally
sedately
calmly
compassionately,
Am I sustainably healthy?
How am I healthy/unhealthy?
Eased/not diseased?

Meanwhile,
Right hemisphere follows a similar question
of healthy/unhealthy purpose,
but more intuitively systematic,
more about inter-relationship,
about felt content 
and known embodied context.

If healthy
confluent consciousness,
then...

spoke kin like 
a true non establishmentarian.

Wily wordsmith wields wisdom and wit
renders requiem welcoming thee to visit,
no matter foisting poetic riffraff (mine)
necessitates applying figurative tourniquet
to staunch potential
life threatening hemorrhage
oozing out fifty shades of
your gray cerebral moon unit,
thus best be extremely cautious
heed warning to preserve
self interest...

REASONABLE POETRY 

Out of the muddle of insanity and schisms flows a constant stream of words. My thoughts come to life. From prayer and praise to flowers and rain, everything bubbles through me. Poesy keeps my mind ticking the right way.


feelings trapped inside

Fred’s a reasonable man
something he takes pride in.
Just the other night

before he threw a dish
against the wall while
talking with his wife

he told her if he knew 
what was wrong with him
he’d see a professional.

Right now he’s too busy.
Two new patients tomorrow
coming in for therapy.

What a privilege for me to be enlisted
In the service* of the Supreme Commander and King of kings.

Grateful, I yield to Him my all: body, soul, and spirit…

By His mercy’s beseeching: gracious, compassionate, faithful gentle…

To give my personal offering that’s:
voluntary, active, enthusiastic, sacrificial, faith-driven 
holy,...

You've no choice 
What will be will be
So a greedy and cruel person
Strive for the most
Before it's too late
Maybe this is the reason 
Why people are careless
Obstinate and cruel
But no matter who decides your future
You ought to be reasonable
Because you love God 
Who is the...
