Best Sensibly Poems


Diets

Can you imagine my surprise 
When I woke up with thunder thighs

I looked in my mirror and
It gave me back a knowing grin

Hard and heavy the diet days
And all of my sweet tooth chocolate craves

Knowing what's  in front of me
Makes this fat boy wanna scream

So I check out the internet
To find the perfect diet yet

        Lets see......

Urine injections from a pregnant babe
That seems to be the latest craze

How about this bubble wrap
I just might be down with that

Who is there to really say
Which pill and how many I should take

One that sympathizes with the way I feel
While feeding me pint size starvation meals

Here's one guaranteed to clean my clock
While the next ten days I'm on the toilet docked

This is funny...try and eat more sensibly
That's like a foreign language to me

Get your daily exercise
Obviously written by some wise guy

Goes to prove just what I've heard
On the internet don't believe every word

How about the Himalayan soft cheese wrap
The secrets in the cheese to squeeze off the fat

Or I could go the Hollywood way
Have it sucked out and back to eating in one day

There are so many options here
It's hard to know which way to steer

As my options all expand
Think I'll just go buy elastic waist band pants

And learn to enjoy in my own eyes
The fact that I have thunder thighs

Farewell

5/12/17


Go ahead and tell
Hide in your shell
Or run away like a gazelle
Don't like your intent and what you try to sell
Farewell
Catch an L
Rot away and smell
Then burn in hell
On my mind, it will not dwell

Throwing shade
On my name
It's nothing new or strange
What some will do for clout and fame
Is beyond a shame

I'm going to turn into the ace of spades
And a jack of all trades
Bury what remains in a legitimate grave
Then carryout another day, while still feeling the same

A new century
Another enemy
Out to get me due to jealousy
I can only imagine how it is, when you're a celebrity


Your not going to shorten my life expectancy
Or any chance of longevity
Due to me thinking sensibly
My own integrity
And a sudden surge of adrenaline and energy
No R. I. P. for you, or memory

Premium Member Desperado

A lone desperado rode his lathered cayuse to old Santa Fe.
It was high noon, sweltering hot and dusty on that fateful day.
The handsome young outlaw wore deadly forty-fours on each hip,
And there were multiple notches etched on each pistol grip!

He dismounted and brushed men aside as he strode to the saloon.
By the look on his face, someone faced doom that sultry afternoon!
He ordered up a bottle of whiskey to wet his sun-parched throat,
Downed a couple of shots and gazed around taking note!

For days he had ridden to find his roving sweetheart LeNore.
Now, he spotted her with a cowpoke in a dark corner near the door.
Their eyes locked briefly and she quickly turned away.
Knowing what was to happen, she sensibly got out of the way!

The enraged desperado fingered his forty-fours and lit a big cigar,
Roaring, "You stole my woman and you know damn well who you are!"
Men scattered, chairs toppled and the two men fired their rod!
When the billowing smoke had settled, one had met his God!

Alas, the lifeless young outlaw lay sprawled upon the barroom floor!
Clutching him to her breast with tearful supplications, knelt LeNore.
They buried him in a lonely grave atop a knoll in Old Boot Hill!
Lenore placed petunias upon his grave, declaring her true love still!

Premium Member Verbal Miracles

In four and sixty syllables
He strains to squeeze some thoughts profound
Into unyielding manacles
Of 8x8 form, tightly-bound.
He seeks to hand-pick words that sound
Unforced by metric obstacles
That sing and sensibly expound -
In short, do verbal miracles!

Premium Member FROM GRANDMA JENNY


I plead guilty  
Of saying,
My grandchild is
The most beautiful
The most wonderful
The most intelligent,
It shows, it is so evident,
Absolutely so loving,
Character and nature so giving,
Makes friends instantly
And acts independently,
And so much fun,
Takes my hand
To help build sandcastles
In the sea sand,
Likes to share,
Tells you if she feels you are wrong,
That is not fair,
And how old is this little wonder,
Who is not even afraid 
Of an intense storm 
With lightning and thunder,
Two years and 8 months,
Who converses so sensibly,
And comprehensibly,
I am not exaggerating,
Such a wise little mind
Who is also so truly kind,
Who tells me I am not pronouncing
“Absolutely,” Correctly

It is ab-so lut-ely yiayia, she says,
And I beam at you with pride
You are so little, yet mature
Everyday we love you more and more,
And one day when our time is up,
I hope no time too soon,
When you look up and 
See a full bright moon,
And lots of glittering stars,
It’s Yiayia and pappou ,
Sending you hugs 
And love galore.



YIAYIA AND PAPPOU ARE THE GREEK WORDS FOR – GRANNY AND GRANDPA

Premium Member - Vibrant Intelligence -

The earth has its secrets, we are curious

Being curious is a strong motivational force 

for learning something new

The children ask straight from the heart

because they wonder about life and the world

There are many examples of curiosity - use it sensibly

Questions and answers - a sign of a vibrant intelligence

Poem Of The Day: 11.01.2018


The Ocean

Vast, powerful motion of all time,
How many do you facilitate sublime?
To discover, protect and to ably fight, 
By wood, to keep our territory right. 

To race, enjoying the sea air of such waft, 
And to fish for delicious bites from our nets cast;
Enjoying the freedoms of the Common Fisheries Policy,
Having livelihoods protected through areas of advocacy. 

One of carbon and two of oxygen, water,
And of course with salt which does the liquid alter;
Also with sodium, magnesium, calcium and sulphate too, 
Plus the ions potassium and chlorine which do.

You can't really drink it apart from a sip,
But seawater and its fish can be boiled for your lip;
Cod’s coming back as no more overfished,
So pollock does not anymore need to be wished.

Our first travels were made on the ocean wave,
Its captains gave respect and sensibly did behave;
We journeyed from England to America to make,
A life for ourselves which nobody was to brake.

It moves with power, and sometimes takes a life,
And hides oil that's dug through much toil and strife;
The global community needs to channel its energy,
For renewable sources to be designed with synergy.

Premium Member Partners In Life

PARTNERS IN LIFE
==============

Don’t loose your head,
When you come up in life,
The way you came up,
You can always go down.

Respect your partner in life
Your achievements are nothing
If you treat your partner like a dirt
It is what you are in reality- a dirt.

A person of good nature,
An honest God fearing person, 
Will never stoop to a level, 
To under estimate the partner.

Children watching you,
Will be penalised, 
Remember that and act,
Wisely and sensibly.

Doctors Moe, Larry and Curly Fight Ebola

By Elton Camp

Of Ebola, sensible persons are scared
There was time in the US to be prepared

For decades the virus has been known
How to control has clearly been shown

Working in a crude Liberian tent
Doctors are found reasonably content

When, to safety, strict attention is paid
Ebola virus disease is rarely conveyed

Growing numbers in Africa dead
Showed Ebola continued to spread

Nobody could sensibly think anymore
The virus wouldn’t reach the US shore

The threat the CDC should understand
See that needed supplies were on hand

Issue guidelines unmistakably clear
Make certain that all hospitals hear

Then, before it was too late
Training sessions mandate

Be certain nurses knew what to do
A virus, to them, deadly and new

Rather, in the manner of stooges three
Their ineptitude all could plainly see

An apology is far from enough
For failing in such basic stuff

She's Some Kind of Poetry - -

She's reckless and cautious

     in the same breath,

sensibly abstruse and uninhibited

       elusively in your face,

introspective in her extroversion

  expressly shy when she wills to be,

    rapture in the mist

          an enigma unto man

              a force to be reckoned

         he couldn't possibly envisage,

don't try to comprehend the

   wind 'neath her wings, 

     she's poetry replete

           with esoteric allusions

Premium Member Incubus

A young girl got the first nursing job in a private hospital
And was assigned to check the ground floor patients.
Room 1, 2, 3, as she got to room 4 the door was opened
Inside the room a man was lying covered with a blanket.
But in the patient list the room supposed to be empty.
She ran to the preceptor to report it in a frenzy state.
The head nurse and others visited the room, found none.
She said that last week a patient committed suicide in the room.
The security was called and then the room was closed.
But a word went round about its suicidal aspect.   

The next day, out of curiosity, as she entered the room
Was caught by a strong man and forced to sleep with him.
As the time passed it became her regular daily routine.
To her surprise, once she saw her boss coming out of the room.
Slowly there was a decrease in the patients of the hospital.
Another surprise was waiting as she found dead in the room.
The whole corner was declared as a haunting place.
A day was not far when the whole hospital was closed.

A ghost is a person whose life ended abruptly and violently
Known as a haunting as they are haunted by a life gone.
Haunting from thoughts and presence becoming testimony.
If one thinks sensibly about it, the ghosts are just you and I.
All talk about love, ghost and God, but does anyone see them?

Captivated

I can't continuously catch this connection
coroscating so cordially as a cure...
Captivating my cranium contemporaneously
contaminating collation of common sense.
I can't think...
And our growing link
makes my heart sink
with your every wink!
Blink... Blink...
Are you reality?
I reach right past self-denial's ruse of
what's real with no rest reeking of regicide
fearing a relapse regarding regression.
Recklessly running rampart racing
to our heart's reunion.
Your soul saying "Speak sonnets of Sensuality".
So sexy yet sensibly sweet...
Seeking to be shown your sentiments.
You're the destination of heaven above.
And I... am in love!

Premium Member Shh, Speak Shrouded Sounds Slower

Shh, surrender silent sorrows.
Subconsciously slip into stillness, 
sedately surrounded in serenity's song.
Slumber satisfied, slithering softly between 
silky soap scented sanitized sheets. 
Soak up summaries of summers spent splashing at 
seashores, sandles sifting through salt scented sand, 
as sapphire skies shine splendidly.
Scores of silver seagulls soar stunningly 
above saltwater seaweed scenery.
Suddenly snorkeling with seahorses, 
you somehow become the studied subject.
Swimming in submarine schools, scarcely secluded, 
you become someone's significant someone. 
Spryly spinning synchronously side by side 
someone special, sprinkled in sentimentality, 
speaking shrouded sounds, 
you shift seamlessly into sound sleep. 
"Speak some sense slower," some seahorse shrieks. 
Sensibly speak shrouded sounds slower, softer,
so she can sleep sometime soon.

Pen Full of Ink

Dear whoever is reading this, you should probably stop
I've got a pen full of ink, and just took another Voddy shot
I've got love for everyone, even those who are resenting me
I'll be more offensive, to upset anyone who wants to censor me
I removed all of the sense in me
So now its impossible for me to act sensibly
You can adjust the picture, but I'll still be the centerpiece 
Say it to my face, if what you say is meant for me
Load your weaponry, I promise I'll survive your head shots
Can't listen to people who think the greatest rapper is covered in tattoos and has dreadlocks
Bunch of kids who think Hip-Hop was invented when Young Money released bed rock
Lupe told me to dumb it down, cause so many out there are dimwitted
Write something a bit more simplistic
To have more chance of leaving the club with twin sisters
I've had my fair share of girls,So give me a target and watch my pen hit it
Studied the dictionary to make my mind better
They'd prefer I rhyme "Heart" with "Apart" and "you" with "true" and they'll act like they're the greatest lines ever
Cause it reminds them of them and their exes time together
Go listen to Drake if you want to hear a guy cry about a bunch of females
I analyze my relationships from both aspects, and use poetry to give the details
Because if you pretend to be someone you're not and give false promises
You've took all of your exes as hostages
You were never real with them
At least i'm open about my character flaws, and that I'd struggle to build with them
Females going "Drake's so romantic, I want to be his wife"
Because they fall for the lies in his music and ignore that he's at the strip club most nights
But who am I to tell them that their brain is working wrong
I'll have drake fans chasing me now, so i'm gone

Premium Member Mystery

Mad moments mesh mind mystery;
Yesterdays yield yonder yeses;
Sight sensuous stash sync sensibly;
Thrust tensile thrill to touch tresses;
Empty emote ends each earthing;
Ready ripe rock rustling rich roast;
Yesterdays yoke yield young yawning.
Mind mulling mock moves motive most;
Aplomb appease asking appliqué;
Seize subtle space singing sweetly;
Troubles trace tease trembling technique;
Endow encase embalm empty;
Rich rides revoke reel remaking;
Yesterdays yoke yonder yielding.
