Unpredictably Predictable
Feelings, like storms, disrupt the inner peace and leave the future uncertain
Hopes, like mountains, seen and far away to reach
Desires, like eternal, keeps running and stop’s nowhere
Thoughts, like lightning, shine, disappear, and keeps coming
Tears, like rains, clear the clouds and leave it’s
Sign
Life, like ocean meets river, people comes from various channels with

I like predictable TV shows
I like predictable tv shows
Colombo always followed the perpetrator
In Death in Paradise the inspectors solve every case
Someone on the stand confesses in every Perry Mason episode
Harvey Korman always falls on his butt on the Carol Burnett Show
No matter who the Equalizer is, he or she fixes everything for a good guy
John Wayne always beat the

my cartoon drawing is predictable
I aways start drawing my cartoons with their eyes
Nose and mouth follow in second and third place
Chin, hair, ears, earring, and neck are next
My drawings are predictable; they are always in this order
Sometimes I wonder if other cartoonists draw like I do
Are they in my kind of rut?

as predictable as a hamster
She is as predictable as a wheel-owning hamster
Running in the same circle, over and over
No matter who she is dating
Not recognizing her relationship wheel
The rest of us see it clearly
Her patterns are predictable
She sabotages each relationship
In a clockwise manner
Dong the same things
In the same way
Saying “that wouldn’t work” to every suggestion
Loving her hamster wheel path

Why are people so predictable?
Tired of always being right,
I would love to be proven wrong;
Lead me to a new type of thought
Tired of always being right
so easy to sit and decipher;
Lead me to a new type of thought
picking up on everything they do;
So easy to sit and decipher
I

Saturation Mimics Satisfaction
Initialising silhouettes submit to midwinter dawn
Beginning willingly to swallow colour of choices
Fledgelings' flamboyant campaigns display oblivion
Audacious adolescents distribute chafing thoughts
Attach entire esteem to securing peer approval
Frivolous get transfixed in youth's lurid allure
Bustling balloons launch from high vaulting hearts
Adventurers revel in joy during jaunty occasions
Concerned observers avoid havoc's banquet
Money cascades proportionate to patrons' appraise
Circumspect

Predictable Christmas
Predictable Christmas
I know no one’s coming.
Yet I put up a tree.
I can stare at it.
It can stare at me.
The lights in the bathroom?
I’ll put up again this year.
Quite likely l’ll shed
the same salty tear.
New Years, yesterday’s fears
Ring out the old. Ring in the same.
Each one is so predictable
that it refuses to change.
Christmas

I know of you, the things that you do, the leadership of your ways is so you.
The smile on my face tells the world that I enjoy being with you.
The things that you do, my cold days are warm because of you, it was expected to come from you. Your extended hand carried so many

Poems are written with great emotion by poets,
right from word one a writer gets lost in the creation, with
expectations for good reviews . . . but is is predictable and
destined that at times some negativity will come floating;
inevitable to hurt the heart,
certain to leave a scar . . . .
Totally inescapable when we send

It was predictable
You would come
And smile
I cleaned the stable
Put a handsome
bouquet of roses
On a table
In the right hand corner
Near the window
Put some white gladioli
Wrapped with
A brown paper too
Lest what is predictable
Didn't come true
It was you who
made it predictable
For you said
Categorically
Whether spring or rain
You would be with me
Doctor came in the evening
Angiography was done
He wrote

PREDICTABLE – OR NOT?
“You’re so predictable,” she said,
As I gave her the bouquet.
“Did you think a bunch of roses
Would make everything okay?
You’ll have to do much better,
If you want me to forgive
And for us to be together
For as long as we both shall live.”
I wasn’t quite so predictable
With what I told her next.
“I just thought

'Hello Bob', I self-spoke
Inside my head.
That's what I'd say if my name was Bob.
But it's not,
My name is not Bob.
Bob would not wear dare
Nor would Bob dare wear a cloak
With lipstick in the chest pocket
And a memory-tied locket
Swimming in a fancy fruit perfume.
Bob would not hide away behind the scent of summer apples linking hands

Predictable-
predictable so
just to be so inspectant
only to be expected
only to be expected
par so for the course
so predictable
now foreseeable
able to be predicted
can you see me now
