Litmus Test
Trust is key in all relationships. Everyone has secrets. There's a saying, we're only as sick as the secrets we keep.
Sharing the secrets that undermine my mental health, absolutely need to be shared. This means I'll make a choice to be vulnerable and share them.
I must trust that person to keep

The Discerning Eye
In the Gallery of Life, where deeds hang on display,
Not all can see the masterpiece amidst the gray.
For excellence, that rare and radiant art,
It is visible only to the excellent heart.
Like calls to like, in silent recognition,
A secret language, a hidden coalition.
The mediocre gaze, yet fail to see
The brilliance that sets true greatness free.
As diamonds

Discerning Reading Frog
Frog reads the last chapter of each book to begin.
He does not want to waste time on boring ones then.
He sits on a stack, going through them with haste.
If some are dull, they go to the bottom and I mean post haste.
The current one he is reading has him highly intrigued.
He is a professor frog

Discerning Insanity
Discerning Insanity
By David J Walker
It is in the collective thought
The safety of a plausible
Fantasy
The alchemy of
Turning lies into truths
That makes us the irrational
Passionate beings
That rule the earth
In the end
We are who we
Believe we are
With no proof
That we are not
We are
For lack of substance
Aloof
To the discernment of
insanity

Be that there more so

And yet all Spirits are not from God
Some Spirits are demon filled

To show whether they were

Post Revelation Discerning
( after Sachida's after the war)
There will be war, in fact, there have always been wars,
and will continue.
Wars satisfy us.
Our nasty muscles move in festive workouts,
when there is war; in hearts, minds and on tongues.
We suffer from cerebral indigestion, when deprived of
wars.
The other day, the day after his son's birthday celebrations,
with exploding music and drunken

The Discerning River
The discerning river moves
through the crowded valley woods
like an ancient crooked spine
beneath the vertebrae bridges of fallen trees
it's restless currents strum against strings
of rich green algae that cling
like eels onto polished stones
thrusting waves that curl at their crest
and dive into deep musical torrents
stirring up river bed soup
served in ladles churning downstream
to the mouths and bellies
of

The Discerning Woman
There was a woman named Honey
Who didn't have lots of money
in fact
she only had
enough greenbacks
for one designer hat.
But she was very discerning
and she found a hat that with a lot of turning
She could wear this hat many different ways
Over many different days...
See the hat in TangeneNicole's store on Etsy

Discerning Eye
L-et your discerning eye
H-ave the clear sight or view;
E-verything is nice and pleasant,
N-othing will make you blue.
D-iscerning eye has seen
E-ach and every passing day;
G-lowing light in the bright sky
U-ses not the dark or gray.
Z-one of beauty and warmth
M-akes the cloud white up high;
A-ugust twenty-fifth Friday,
N-ever close your discerning eye.

Discerning Eyes
Discerning Eyes
So beautiful are many a woman’s derrière.
Perfectly shaped, full, round and oh so fair.
A sculpture worthy of the masters, beyond compare.
The sight of, brings men’s minds, his eyes to stare
at such wonder, the beauty of Mother Natures design
and the desire of oh so many, wishing it were mine
to pat, to caress, to admire,

Discerning Deception
Discerning Deception
Intuition and scrutiny, everything you need
Just read the following, if your sure you want to see
They're saying yes, while their head shakes no
Their hands are often moving around their face and throats
If they shrug their shoulders only one goes up
The words they like to use are except and but
Their body

The Poet and His New Discerning Maid
The poet was in love; as was his wont,
he took his lovely lady to the dell,
a place of solitude, his favorite haunt,
where two could go. . . and this is what befell:
With images of pleasure in his mind,
he led the fresh and beautiful young maid
through nature’s Eden. . . Soon they were reclined
upon a blanket
