Short Admonition Poems

Warn little people
Who worship bad superior
Flatter inferior....

At the very edge of life
bordered by the admonition
"Don't go", released 
to explore, expand knowledge
tangible, tactile
I found assumed freedom....

WASTELAND?

‘Waste not!’ is an admonition 
Scribed on wood, stone and ceramics 
Made an impossible mission
By the second law of thermodynamics...

Darkness is a square
    That captures you in your darkness
Darkness adds on and on...
     And one day reveles into a holy admonition
To unfold an epic of ray....

Happy birthday, dear Emy Ann, 
People heard Christ's admonition; 
What the Samaritan woman 
Did was a show of compassion.

I could run from you, you know
Try to stop me with a single blow
A mighty gust is your admonition
Husky whispers of opposition
My blood slows under your icy eyes
A frigid man whom I despise 
You’ll strip the colour from my skin
Trick my nerves to burn within
Your face is calm for all is planned
As you blot out life 
with the weight 
of your snow white hand....

G-od's warning is given, 
L-etting your life be alert; 
E-arly January twenty-fifth, 
N-o more reason to get hurt.
D-o listen to God's warning, judgment day draws near; 
A-llow your heart to hear the call to make conscience clear.

A-s you wait for the world's end, 
P-ray to God for His blessing; 
A-im to heed His admonition, 
N-ever ignore God's warning....

Fathers’ compassionate nurture*

Rears up children with loving gesture.

*Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Social Distancing

There is fear
Planted by closeness..
By warnings posted in
The world without..
Closeness they say
Will be sharing of a
Microscopic terrorist
Lurking in our breath
Poised to leap when
The distance is right..

Is this admonition 
Begging a turn inward to
Locate that place 
Which is not a place
Where distance dissolves
In a newfound Calm...?...

Rocky squirrel flew through the air
Safely landing precisely where
He wished.

Caught glimpse as Shirley squirrel
(Herself in front of car did hurl)
Was nearly squished.

Rocky had warned Shirley before
Admonition Shirley chose to ignore-
Cars can smite

Such events reveal it's not merely heuristic
Fatalities by car is greater statistic
Than fatalities by flight...

Arrogant Custer thought he was the greatest thing since the invention of dynamite!

  He took on Sitting Bull who outnumered him ten to one which wasn't very bright!

He led the Seventh Cavalry to disaster never to answer another reveille call!

  "Yellow Hair" proved that old Biblical admonition, "Pride goeth before the fall!"

Wafting breeze of revival
caresses my lethargic commitment 
while reverberating this stern admonition 
brought by youth's speech choir:
"Have you made a difference for a worthy legacy?"
Oh, may I share God's blessings midst serene triumph.*

*Psalms 92:4 - "For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands."

It should have been the glorious spreading of his wings 
But Icarus flew too close to the sun
Ignoring the admonition of his father 
Pride being his downfall 
His dreams of escape came undone 
As he fell tumbling through the heavens 
And plunged into the depths of the sea,
A metaphorical warning to us all 
From ancient greek mythology.

Here's the haughty elephant,
Won't eat food that's wrapped in cellophant.*
A catered meal is okay,
Like alfalfa or hay,
But most everything else is irrelevant.
The best of them try to abstain
From spirits like rum or champagne,
Which won't give them rabies,
But might lead to babies
Or ailments like gout and colitis.
Or, with this admonition,
A rare skin condition,
Some vets have called pachydermatitis.

*Thank you, Cowardly Lion, from "The Wizard of Oz"...

In the rice field, the elder farmer knows what he has to go through every day,
Every time he hides the fatigue of years in a smile, 
His fez speaks for him,,,,
The routine in his time is scandalous;
Hiding in his big hat from the sun so he can skip the admonition,
The rain is healing what the medicine couldn't heal,
Sometimes with a pause, he takes a break to offload the traffic in a shortcut in an Island,
He waits for the smiles of gratitude to feel a bit precious....

Halitosis hocus pocus,
Cures my malevolence for graveolence.
The serene Listerine of oral hygiene,
A matador piercing malodor,
With one mouthful of
Gin taken on the chin.

I do risk
Lucidity to rid the morbidity,
I may lumber rising from slumber.
Yet those taken 
A back by this quack,
Can rest assured against the absurd.

One cannot
Ignore the heretofore.
In addition, I offer admonition
Beware! 
Another tends to smother
Any care of even being aware....

La niebla del rocío
ahuma mi visión
ante los sombríos
que calan mi mente
por tus falacias, felonias
y falible convicción;
que con notables fantasmadas
falsean tu razón...

Pues soy el fénix,
renaciente ante oscura carburación
y cenestésicas cenizas,
que ha llegado a su cenit
ardientemente centelleante...

Y, ante tu calante rocío
y manipulante sombrío
te admonizo y advierto
que con firmeza y solemnidad
solidariamente calcinado y quemado
quedará tu falsificante corazón......
