Short Cajoled Poems

dawn has cajoled herself awake
anticipating the first surfer on the beach
she is determined to make it the best day
in case there is a shark in the water...

Pompous and blatant he preached
Rambled, cajoled
Until he was stripped of all his clothes
And, holier-than-thou
Exposed him in his own reality
In his sheer nakedness
And finally total silence...

Calling crew members to
Calm their nerves ,the captain
Cajoled the hijackers ;
Carefully protecting 
Children on board, before
Contact with rescue team ,
Contributing to clash.

Normally horseys love apples I was told
Tried to feed one no deal must have been too old
Not good for the digestion
Must suffer with indigestion
Felt like hugging him but instead just cajoled...

cajoled by love divine sublime
our soul ascends in timeless time
why fret when we are in a dream
delighting in images that stream
hark, oh hermit, to our hearts chime

deadlines pass
they are not ours
although they seem
to be meant for us
which if it be so
we will be cajoled
to perform the tasks
as has been ordained 
so we live in the moment 
without any agenda
in accordance with
the will of God...

You'll take great joy in pinning,
a medal to my heaving chest.
So overjoyed at cajoled winning,
a raucous knockout...you'll be impressed

The cusp of brilliance
  can still be controlled

While genius can neither 
  be coaxed nor cajoled

Being still on the fringe
  keeps one foot on dry land

But when totally immersed
  —only God can command

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

How can thoughts arise
Unless heart desires
As it’s so cajoled
By soul eternal
That we may ascend

Spoilsport ego
Has its own urge
Endless desires
Mirrored by fear

Love’s the way
Aligning
Head and heart

Be still
And know

God

We coddled and coaxed
Cajoled and cuddled
Caressed and calmed
Candy would not budge

We encouraged and enthused
Attempted to inspire and excite
Candy smiled
But refused to comply

We teased and tormented
Attempting to train her our way
Candy laughed and skipped away
Super confident at age four....

No trepidation or fear 
Of want or rejection 
Could hinder my 
Escape from your
Clouded vision 
I am weary of
Your daunting
Heartless ways
Once the pitter
Patter of your steps
Tandemly danced with
My heartbeats of love
Now tears rain where
Sunbeams once rose
Seeking the stars
A cajoled existence 
I fled...

concepts suggest preferences
but the truth is unapologetic
manifesting within form
magnetic electricity
which we receive
with gratitude 
and yet
our identity
is disconcerted
at the transmutation 
and so ego creates a ripple 
recognised, cajoled, sublimated
to align its stirrings with divine will...

There once was a picky young troll,
Who fussed over his supper bowl.
He loved human meat,
But disliked the feet
That came off of salty soled souls.

Until one day, he was cajoled
By an ogre out on a stroll.
Who said, “With some heat,
Those feet become sweet.”
Thus our troll was sold on soul’s soles.


For sweet and salty contest...

I fell upon an open space of love 
Of warmth and grace sent from above
Entangled as a worm upon a hook
Nestled in a lovers’ crook
Strengthened by hearts trepid beat
Cajoled and swaddled within loves heat
Crippled now within loves’ grasp
Freedom far beyond my pass
Love love a so wanted grace
Swallowed now a forgotten face....

an orchestrated night glitters 
to the wand wave of the maestro unborn
sweetness licks on liquorice sticks 
fingered on silver keys

the moon melts like a honey drop
as sopranos sing

in harmony the coyote calls
base notes cajoled by passing horns
meld as cicada rub the reeds
legging each sharped phrase
with intonations of delight...

Do not eat it when you have cough and cold,
In every home we are told by the old!
As children we think they are mad;
When they were kids many they had.
We feel sorry for now being cajoled!!...

There was a lady named Susan
Always worryin’, frettin’ and stewin’
Talkin’ woe is me’ to old man Lance
Who coaxed and cajoled her to dance

Lo and behold! They could cut a rug
Doin' the cha-cha and jitterbug
Soon the talk of the town
They danced every dance around

Smilin’ Sue found it all so confusin’
That grinnin’ Lance thought it all so amusin'...

Listen to poem:

My Immortal

A raven made no shame of it, sailed past my opened chamber door,
Aghast, at last, espy my guest, the beautiful madam Lenore,
Said I, madam please pay no heed, with that said, it left abhor,
We then cajoled, read on my lore, exchanged a kiss, forevermore.

Poe-etic Verse

My Muse keeps 
ancient hours...
candlelight flowers,
blooms of the deep night
for the black-bean
poet; rise ye caffeine
warriors—with quill 
thy sword in hand--
slay thy enemies
those metaphors
cajoled for bland;
with defiant zeal 
upright thy stand--
(never kneel, thus
bowing to tradition.
Great bards of old
never wrote for sold
at Literary-stakes
burned
for sedition)...

No broken we,
but transformed, remade, in semblance.
Though rough of eye, 
no longer fresh 
still on and on we dance.

Wingless wonders, 
shushing we's, 
cajoled, with discontent
searching for the higher arch,
the longer toss, not spent.

Breathe on with breath 
as sweet as melon, 
as round and ripe and fluid.
Farm the earth, the skies, the stars
Just so, you'll be pursued....

Unscathed, blemish free skin, piercing eyes,
So beautiful, they need not be in disguise;
When she is in my sight, she is endearing,
Wherever she goes, she is so caring;
Mysteriously clear are her features,
They look so good on this docile creature;
The enigma that is her, if I may be so bold,
To make her feel she has been cajoled;
Needing tgo be withthe likes of another,
She will always be my only other.

It's dark in the morning 
But then it stays light 
Until, by the clock,
It's approaching the night.

For those who wake early,
The day is on hold.
To walk in the dark,
I cannot be cajoled.

So I wait until daybreak
To head out the door
But am glad that the sun 
Lasts much more than before.

In the blink of an eye
When I wake, there'll be light,
Then the dawn and the dusk
Will set everything right....

We may have had none, one, two, or more
Intricate mistakes we quell to adore 
Unconsciously transcending perfidy from the heart
Counterfeit penitent that epitomizes the start
Remiss to the love that ensure no art
Mad that it happened, we wish it never did
We tried to intact the emotions that we hid
Until we hackneyed three words for bid
“I love you” manifest the aspersion for real
When the heart cajoled its life to kill...

Timed delicacies was baked and ready,
Hela was called to bless before they merry.
Earth of disruption; he continues praying.

Pecking the wormwood with request laying.
Raining praises cajoled by nature's product,
Appraising God for their footwears and the ducks.
Yawning still and making reference to his car,
End of his prayer was after seven hours.
Respecting sleep; Sam,Joe,Lisa are drowned.
