To make a light and pillowy kindness soufflé,
you need: two cups of generosity
a tablespoon of compassion
a teaspoon of melted tenderness
and a packet of goodness
Combine the generosity,
compassion, and tenderness.
Mix until it has an even consistency.
Whisk the goodness and pour it into the mixture.
Cook until golden brown.
Once it has cooled down, serve it charitably.
There is plenty for everyone.

Just as it’s not always so
First thought is best thought
There’s always exceptions to the rule
Or to put it directly,
Rules are made to be broken,
Or more charitably
Rules are by nature fluid
Suited to conditions which are always
By definition conditional.
And so my rule of thumb for poetry
Less is more
Jostles with the other three axioms of creation;
Less is less
More is less
More is more
Always needing to be considered
In the broader context
Of what is being said
And to whom.

Honesty is my best policy or is it; I ponder
so be truthful, not to later have to pay a plunder...
fore some consequence, after told your fibbing,
see another do as myself; Charitably, donating...
OR
I've seen both sides now fore looking back...
nor lose sleep over anything said to anyone...
Or your dear spouse
everyone expects you to be honest; Watch their back...
while fallacious, that little white lie, may...

Midnight stares from courageous eyes
A dark outlook in disguise
Striking cold behind a front
A frigid smile lands the stunt
Few words fool and appear as peace
As behind the lines, tears fight release
Emotions stay tucked behind a grin
Charitably giving whats been taken
Worn of hiding, it still endures
Deep down the damage anxiously roars
Midnight stares from courageous eyes
A dark outlook in disguise
Broken and blue but blending in
Feelings seem pointless when kept within

Treatise of love suborn
Of feelings, desires shorn
With parochial aspirations born
On ritual wings bourne
Romance brokered forlorn
On christening morn, personal
license torn
Deeded by title; underwritten
with scorn
Parceled with dowry; with
annuities adorn
Liabilities, a fitted mantle
charitably worn
