Shrewd Awakening
Captive
Grinning coyly 
She feigns timidity
Cunningly knowing fools become
Ensnared...

The Shrewd Gambler
Propensity sparks
Betting in numbers to win
Probable goals failed.

Tried bet once more though
Best loved numbers didn't hit
Long waited win ends.

Money for other things
Risking bet to win some more 
Awake while asleep.

Dreamt came before dawn
Whilst numbers gone out boxes
Jotted down traces.

Shrewd Gambler wandered
Vivid signs pooped up in...

Eagles Beak , Shrewd Peek...
Sharp piercing eyes with far searching light
Familiar with the basic rule of fittest survive
Prey bird knows well to use its keen eyesight
Water bodies not just their abode but a guide
Their soaring style matches with swift air tide
Each hour a battle of sea for living is...

Premium Member Shrewd Resonance Rima Dissolutas
There was no room for her honesty,
words turned from a false narrative;
Witnessing the start of this sham
birthed a brand new breed of justice;

Bustling bonfires burn so brightly;  
Stay and fight? Her prerogative;
She stole back a stolen rhythm
just to toss in shrewd resonance;

Gospel sung from...

Shrewd
Nothing much in the bar,
This man from yonder,
His alien, adulterated accent
Sets the bar in stitches,
Yet,
He whines for a twenty,
For a stick of smoke,
He egresses for a minute,
In a corner secluded,
He pulls out a pack,
Snatches a cigarette, lights it,
Enters the bar smoking,
I am just peeping with...

in a manor of time it will tell
it's been so reconciled

not s scull set up on a stump
sold separately no gun
but a tall tale on web buy now black market
but fishes fishes in your suit case and back pack

Mister Shrewd Eyes
You would think that I would try
To be a little more cautious,

And I commend those who can.
Yet I can’t help that I get a little…
  Stupefied 
    Mystified 
      Completely Mesmerized
When you get that gaze in...

So Shrewd Horn Haiku
So Shrewd Horn Haiku

If he was so shrewd,
How can he ever be rude
Pretty interlude.

Serve peace a la mode
And for justice have a code
Never let erode.

Like my peace served straight
The we all can celebrate
Best to not be late.

With God peace survives
Exists in all of our lives
He...

Shrewd and Brash
How does one survive among legendary and wealthy men
by being shrewd and brash?
Be a menacing wolf, not a fearful lamb!
Learn their secret to unleash power and you'll win!


How did Trump and gates amass riches
by inheritance or using their heads?
Fill up your piggy jar to the...

Be Shrewd To Be Rescued
Don't hastily conclude,
All the facts, you include
By being always shrewd,
Have a pleasant mood,
Toward none, be rude,
Approach be not crude,
Wisely if you have viewed,
Mysteries, you can denude,
Life must be improved,
Talents must be proved,
Our skill must be improved,
We must be by all approved,
Bad things must be removed,
If...

A Shrewd While Rude and Crude Dude
A Shrewd While Rude and Crude Dude

Matt Whitaker for sure.

As can be, Whitaker has really been shrewd,
And we should toss in lewd as well as crude;
In came;
Brain lame;
An ignorant, inept and outright dumb dude.

Jim Horn

My analysis of Whitaker before his hearing
which ain't too good....

Of Death the Shrewd Peoples
People
those who actually are lazy, useless,
people
those who want to live only on his/her meditation,
people
those who want to enjoy this life on others shoulders,
people
those who live in holy places only by reciting the scriptures 
without any other work,
people
those who think that contemplation of religion is the...

Premium Member Hero of An Hour
Today ignorance uttered words in the court of kings,
as we waited too long for coruscation of brilliancy, 
serendipity smiled on nescient,
and crowned rebellion for one hour.

utterances from idle lips ,
foist on  passerby along nature’s path,
As filthy rebel from the woodcock progeny,
Spoke with grandeur of...
