Best Unthinkingly Poems

Pretense blinks unthinkingly
prominent neon sign
Promoting delicious wishes
heady aspirations primed

Porous ears absorb spiel
Charmed python entrancing rises
Web weaving traitor traps
victim with outlandish surprises

Silkily wrapped casualty constrained
unsuspecting pawn amusing lure
Deceipt's imminent death awards
trust's established pristine pure

Glitz will blitz framework 
Compulsive claims manifest
Embellishment dispelled reveals
authenticity's skeleton undressed

Facade unfastened, centre...

She cried and screamed what's wrong with me
I believe I'd sell my soul
To find out why this anger haunts me
Why do I lose control?

I always hurt the ones I care for
It's a battle every day
Do I hate myself so much
That I'm pushing them away?

Her self...

That three-dimensional solid so symmetrical, 
Suggests how life could be - understandable, 
With only six faces, all square for equal sides,  
And a formulae to describe what makes us stable.

This staple of stability is taken, unchallenged and assumed - 
The rational is included unthinkingly...

JAKE CASTLE’S - THE THRILL OF THINGS

Characterized by routine or superficiality, his mouth was full of draught when he spoke unthinkingly.
Awry was his eyes as he told of events that had transpired.
He laughed aloud with his audience.
This was Friday and Jake Castle was the life...

There are too many of us.
Unyieldingly sane, unthinkingly sane, all too sane,
too few know this.
There may be enough,
there'll never be enough for you,
but we'll persist unfailing
because I need some of it too.
The City. Madness pretends to wait until dusk.
The lie is lazily believed.
A mad night...

entered said market seconds later,

   which ordinarily requires a quarter to pry

THE CREATION OF POETRY
 
From deep inside simmering and covered 
with fragrant sauce, an imaginative dish will 
sometimes bubble up. 

I cover it with clever condiments, taste for flavor 
and serve it with anticipatory delight.
Afterwards, the recipe is unthinkingly discarded.
 
Most times I feel these...

CONSEQUENCES

The closer grow the trees, they more contend
To reach t’ward sky and seek the Sun they crave
Competing yet makes harmony in blend
Like soaring columns of a gothic nave

The meadow grasses now above waste high
Among their reaching stems blue damsels reel
Wild oats and barley shelter butterfly...

Within her I see, all the good, the bad, the prettiest ugly
   The tormented Queen, lost in her Princess Diaries
      Want to be, wanting to be, so miserably happy
         She...

I cannot forget Trayvon Martin - slain teen

no matter manifold more young people
unthinkingly killed, who spirits aspire
to ascend higher than a steeple.

revisited and slightly revised today
March 14th, 2021.

One deliberate shameful death,
whose demise linkedin
violent cessation of breath
thank heavy gun wielding hand
innocuous thug disguised
as armed neighborhood watch
firearm...

I was appalled, no I was horrified
flipping through
the channels and I do it quickly
I saw the Steve something show on.

I could not understand the speech
of the whites
they obviously suffered from
some type
of congenital birth defects
talking about who has been intimate with who's brother and sister
and any...

POETRY IS A RECITED ART

as folk talk
&recite
they naturally
 pause
after one breath..
thus gramatical symbols
 are superfluous..

tradition calls
for capitals
at beginning of lines ..
but again spoils
   the flow
as most will
unthinkingly
   hesitate
...thereat

so also ' lines'
as such
 are an irrelevance
in this open
context

.,without these things
 each person
brings a uniqueness
 to the poem..

much as
 we all do
when looking at
 a work art
 or
touching
 a tactile sculpture ..

a poem
 is
or should be
  similar...

Apology to the missus at nighttime...
first day of January
two thousand and twenty three.

While the wife then in the process
of leaving a telephone message
for our eldest daughter,
(on vacation, thus unreachable)
her cajoling tone of voice
beckoned, intimated, and _underscored
curiosity to discover

how romance blossomed
between first born
and soulmate of offspring
while...

Nobody knows the grief in me 
Nobody knows the misery I feel 
Loneliness feels to be eternally destined for me

Where is that lady for me? 
But I guess I’m being a bit over zealous cause I’m only 18 

But being in love with 
being in...

You hoped she'd be strong like an agave;
instead, she bruised easily like a rose,
feelings like silken petals carelessly
scattered along paths she finally chose.

Full of daydreams, she was given her room
to search until able to find her roots.
Her step hesitant among other blooms
she followed, unthinkingly, larger...
