For love, take a chance
Take two, even three
Throw caution to the wind, for love
Not to do so seems absurd
In
nature,
never turn
your back on a
growling predator.
You could end up
as someone’s
supper,
there.
The sign read proceed with caution
Because there's danger up ahead
Unfortunately I can't read
So that's why I ended up dead
Relatively forgotten herb
Unusual, often painful, sometimes fatal
Exercise caution in its use
cool green leaves rustling
hot red tin roof expanding-
freedom of movement
stiff arthritic limbs longing
go - exercise caution - stop
Faith,
Belief
Blindly goes
Forward without
Any discernment,
Caution or fear;
One comes through
It all
Fine.
Like rivers flow into ocean
Time doesn't stop its steady motion.
And only Love without caution
Survives the time through its Devotion.
Fault?
Forgiveness forgets
Education remembers
Proceed with caution.

Poetic form: Senryu
Can I say, I love you ?
Will you permit?
Or you can do just one act of love
to caution; you might be a gambit.

I guard my words obsessively
what is said can never be unsaid
~ heard not ever be unheard

The oversized
Plastic coffee cup
with the plastic lid
says
Caution!
I am hot and wet
Handle me with care
Do not microwave
Blindly
Wisely
Safely
Calmly
Blindly leap in, but do so, wisely
Proceed with caution safely, calmly

CAUTION
Excuse me.......
Say to our Hausa fellow
Tread with caution
Niger is but the nest of sundry
The deeds our patriots
Drag not to the mud
Potential for mischief they say
Writing poems on Valentine's day
If you're looking for love
Not a slap from a glove
Don't give too many secrets away
Lovely girlish figure be damned.
I’m having that cheesecake no matter what.
Just try to stop me.

Carefree summer days of leisure.
Ah, what fun to be a kid.
Parents always on what-if mode.

A spider a day keeps the warthogs away
There is a secret to the way they must be eaten though
Don’t want to try it?
Too bad
Warthogs eat chickens.

Silently mobile,
Produces anxiety,
Offensive bacteria,
Relegates caution,
Emitter of fear,
Stealer of life.
CONTORTION CAUTION
Antic
Tantric
Frantic
Spastic
I warned you that antic tantric sex
Could turn you to frantic spastic wrecks
You tantalize senses
Breaking down defenses
You sting to attention
Breaking all convention
Caution this spice of life
She will not make a wife
Many people react in haste
When something does not suit their taste
IF you lower the boom
Be prepared for your doom
Life's mistakes one can not erase!
She carefully treads on tiptoe.
Her sixth sense is raising red flags.
Warning signs there to see.

Told you a hundred times.
Please... tie your shoelaces for heaven's sake!
You'll fall all over yourself !
