war and peace
Let me say for those who seek peace
as a commendable activity and thankless
War is as natural to man as peace is
from the Stone Age to here
the final goal is to eradicate ourselves
is nearing the ultimate chapter
Then there will be peace.
Here, have a spectacle.
As suspected it's devoured in manner so predictable.
Still hand reared, full force fed all poison is delectable
Consumed, perpetual puppet shows punch drunk and dependable.
As long as you are at the other's throats you're indefensible.
We thank you all for losing, such an effort is commendable.
Oops, another table scrap.
Shackled to the catalyst you don't shy from the strap.
Push or pull it matters not, either ways a trap.
Keep those hands around those necks, wilfully you snap.
Very good, aren't you clever climb onto my lap.
You look tired but you're not awake so haven't earned a nap.
gorgeous hybrid slipper orchid
with your dainty spots and dots
muted yellow with white ruffles
your confidence commendable
your beauty undisputed
I feel humbled to be entrusted to your care
Autoerotic is the practice of saxual self-stimulation which is believed to heighten the saxual experience.Commendable deeds aren't Sexual behaviors that go against personal values,and religious beliefs.Reckless sexual activity is the path of destruction.We are born out of menses and money and both are impure so how can we claim that we are pure?
How can a Lawyer defend
The undefendable?
How many times can you bend the truth
When is the truth unbendable?
How can a Lawyer look the Judge in the eye?
And blatantly lie,
It is not commendable.
It is difficult for the truth to understand,
Why?
Is the Lawyer guilty too?
Stating that the truth is another lie
It makes one wonder about the law,
What were the rules made for,
Not to be broken, that's for sure.
When did the truth become a lie?
In court the other day.
A lawyer said this could be so
As he brushed the truth away.
I did say, "Lawyer."
Although I found it inconceivable
When a respected man of the law
States lies, and the truth is the same,
Unbelievable.
As I look over the poems I’ve written
Seeing that several folks have read them,
Suddenly, I find myself strangely smitten
That anyone would read my simple poem.
So grateful that many have commented
Lovely phrases with complimentary terms,
Let’s face it, it’s so nice to be complimented
It always makes my innards squirm,
To think my poems are being read the world over
By poets so accomplished, [more so than I]
Is a little like finding an elusive four-leaf clover
Certainly, makes me want to continue to try
To write something of note, memorable
I suppose something that will elicit a smile
Finding so many in PS that are commendable,
I may try to write another one after a while.

Commendable is your taste of beauty, dear Einnoc!
Your greetings always as day makers appear, Einnoc!
The faces you put on wall are always astounding
To the fragrance of your flowers, I adhere; Einnoc!
Devotion to fine feelings of friends is first for you
That's something of great value, you ain't austere; Einnoc!
You always bring smile to everyone's face you talk to
Though I know your life is hard, like a dry brier, Einnoc!
You're a Filipina with international heart
And to make the world happy is your career, Einnoc!
I'm lucky that I have such a friend in your person
It's so hard to find friends whose hearts are sincere, Einnoc!

Ann was anxious to be Greg’s Mistress
And never saw The Waiting Distress;
The Male Laxity with Steely Stress
That was to make her from God digress
And from The Commendable regress!
Greg would not his own weekend clothes press;
After breakfast saying just “Just “Oh Yes!”
And after Lunch, everywhere a mess!
“God!” Ann had kept moaning more or less”
Over a Greg paying not for her dress,
Sure that this could never mean Progress
“As though Greg’s chief interest My Goodness!”
With Greg one couldn’t make a right guess
Unarguably A Tougher Chess…
The wrong things most times he’d gladly bless!
An ode
to the Black Widow,
Oh mercy to your soul.
Walls heightened from reach,
I judge you not for your choice.
Your strength is commendable,
fear rests upon your enemies.
Like thunder you strike,
never the same place, twice.
She is tough as nails,
her heart as cold as stone,
doubtful to companionship
Love is the most unknown.
Lord grant her peace
for she lives off pain.
Rest her mind to the least,
before she becomes prey.
We don't reproduce - most of us don't want to,
you're built different, can't experience what we do,
further, our perception is beyond your mindset,
doesn't mean'better,' stay - our place isn't to let.
We know goalposts have moved, grow up, move on,
but you can't, not possible when all is said and done;
also now, which one is which, I hear a deep voice,
no matter what, you'll never really have a choice.
We are devious, wicked, irrespective of commendable,
that degree of nastiness would only make you expendable;
stay as you are, then you may be better, don't you see?
Why do you want to be just so tricky evil like me?
You can't, never will be, no matter how you progress,
you're you, not like us, not really capable of caring less.
Russia valiantly fights 'a war of defense'
against Ukraine which 'has given offense'
Can Russia depose 'the Nazi, Zelensky?'
to end Ukraine's 'genocide of slaughtering Russenkis?' (aka Russians)
Russia's 'defense of her people' is understandable
But are NATO's policies all-so-commendable?
NATO says 'Nyet' to to No-fly Zones -- 'too provocative'
~ Russia laughs at such 'justifications' for her to use her prerogative
________________________________________________________
Russia bombs a maternity hospital and a nuclear reactor; levels whole
towns; shells civilian apartment complexes indiscriminately -- and NATO
can't OK a 'No-Fly-Zone' -- a DEFENSIVE tactic! -- to stop it?!!! For the
sake of humanity, when will Western leaders find the courage to FIGHT
this second coming of the murderous liar, Hitler?!!!!
Your innate desires aren't demanded
with a man-child tantrum.
With commendable actions,
you command your needs gently.
Your force isn't launched upon my face,
but in place you open the door.
With eyes on the battlefield,
you yield your members to protect me.
Your height isn't guided by suppression;
I'm impressed with your helpful reach.
Your deep pitch isn't coupled with insults,
but lifted in benevolent leadership.
Willingly, I submit, in admiration
to an administration so wise.
My eyes esteem you with respect
for your strength reflects love.
My heart expands to meet your needs
without tyrannical demands.

With their undeniable transport-function
Horses demand rigorous empowerment…
Hence in their vital rejuvenating station
They huddle for hearty replenishment.
What a sight to behold them in their haven
Feasting along grazing land’s abundance…
While displaying prowess tenaciously proven
Midst tourists enthralled by their elegance.
Sternly ushered to their distinct fortress
They soberly settle in their serene paradise…
Vanquishing pressures of sports-distress
In their stables ready for tomorrow’s surprise.
Horses* for battle, others for leisure
Commendable for their service-zest…
Giving to their Creator gracious pleasure
They deserve a salute with my gratitude’s best.
*Revelation 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

1st place, "STRAND CHOICE Z,any form,any theme" Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 4/4/2020.
Being a highly self-directed person
Knowing how to speak and reason
Today’s woman is alive to the sense
Of her dignity and the importance
Of her private functions straight
And domestic domain ultimate
Her talent is superb I state
In the public domain great
Being rational in approach
She is cool with no reproach
Want to do things best possible
And in a manner commendable
Let’s emphasize woman’s role
In all fields of society I dole
Thus she has a pivotal role
In eradicating poverty whole
She can mend social fabric
If taken out of daily afflict
Let all womenfolk enjoy their
Rights and opportunities fare
Major reason is the illiteracy
All we need to change policy
Education is a weapon at large
Narrows down odds at barge
Being significant is their role
For better life in future whole
Let’s educate our girls umpteen
So as to take HDI in teem
Want to see society progress
Then enhance the women status
Let’s honour the women folk all
Stopping restrictions on the girl
Let’s stop early marriage
To gift the women much tutelage
Women’s Reservation Bill is the call
Please fight for it my comrades all..!!
Son, to be a man,
You need to listen to men.
You will get experience straight from the horse's mouth about manhood.
Have more dignity and rationality with women,
It will make you a commendable son and husband.
And you need to respect your elders,
It will win you acclaim, my boy!
Have a gargantuan appetite for knowledge,
That will differentiate you from grown boys.
Son, our society loves to think of people as egocentric,
But always put your family first,
For you're respected for what you put right for your family.
Let your home be a candle sconce for the community,
For true happiness lies in the happiness of the community.
I know other men's wives appear more alluring,
But son, there must be no room for adultery,
That disrespects her husband and their relationship.
Give attention to your wife, it's only the faces that are different;
Son, all normal men can be fathers,
But not all can be dads.
So be a dad to your children, let them look up to you.
