If it sounds too good to be true
The low price is the clue
So what would you say
To a resort on Waikiki Bay
That costs you but two hours pay
~ Caveat emptor! -- Stay away!

Dark destiny’s hiss
burnt in fire of bliss
on our so choosing
games more amusing.
Caveat is this ~
we be drenched with bliss,
ego vaporised
and God realised.

there was a young man from Seville
whose wife's voice was chillingly shrill
he said please shut up
he’d more than enough
sending him looking for advil!

Caveat Spender
by Michael R. Burch
It’s better not to speculate
"continually" on who is great.
Though relentless awe’s
a Célèbre Cause,
please reserve some time for the contemplation
of the perils of
EXAGGERATION.

With chinchilla glass
ocean waves lapping my toes
fancy flights take off.
Wren pecks at my thoughts
as it perches on tree stump
posing as prince toad.
Caveat flashing light
intrudes in my dreamy state
warns me to leave prince

"Buff-a-flies!" My tiny granddaughter points
to the black and yellow wings settling around us.
"Butter-flies," I agree with caveat.
She scowls and refuses to speak again
until after dinner time.
Did I learn my lesson? Mostly...

If I, the fly, upon the wall
were, all but none the wiser,
then I would spy the wicked weave of me, myself, the spider.
But neigh,'tis not. What caveat!
My prey heeds not, by nature.
For "something wicked this way comes",
an understated danger.

raise the bar
stop pause blink
we are present
at both ends
simultaneously
intent furious
peace tranquil
move up and down
ladder of vibration
seamlessly
we acquire thus
power of bilocation
there is a caveat
the seeker
must disappear

there had been no warning on the flask
no caveat for self-inflicted poisoning
just a devilish delusion of filling the void
it was not the corkscrew that messed it up
but bottle to mouth resuscitation blacked out
all emptiness until surrender meant hope

The corners the cornerstone of the spectrum is none;
The validity of the spiral quantum some;
Virtual highways run;
Horizontal pathways spun;
Caveat abrasions;
Baptismal conversions;
On slots liaison;
Realities conversions;
Darken tunnels?

Whispers crying;
Caveat twix tween dead winter and lively spring;
there's a voice in The Dark
Hollow dark chirpings
of crawling worms
Being eaten by swollen birds
Screaming are the crawling squirming worms

When I first heard the words
I relinquish The whispers
Caveat promenade
Mine sight suddenly raised
Come before me relentless
Quiet sparks extinguish the dark
Radiant confident
Alphabetical jaundice
Words gathered roughly spoken

I learned the lesson “let the buyer beware”
When I didn’t have that much money I could spare,
Took by an itinerant grifter
Who was quite a likeable drifter
He took me for a ride and didn’t even care!

caveat brilliants
bright Sun Shines light in the day

God writes on the blue
skies in the darken coal nights
caveat brilliants

Caveat is warning or proviso of specific
stipulations, conditions, or limitations.
Trump Caught In a Caveat
In a Corvette with blond, Trump was caught,
With traffic becoming unbearable onslaught;
We know why;
Hung out to dry,
And what could be one more incredible caveat.
Jim Horn
As usual, listening to MSNBC and Smerconish.

No one knows
what to do
If I breathe in
my poodle's poo
Can I shake paws
with my cat
If I rub her tummy
Is there a caveat
And God protect me
from the friendly St. Bernard
Who slobbers all over me
I need a bodyguard
In fraught times like this
Where to turn for advice
Seems the truth really is
We're just rolling the dice

Walk On Water
Salvation is conditional
based on the caveat of confession
in truth, with remorse and conviction
in acknowledging sins committed
and expressing from the heart and mouth
that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior;
(submission is mandatory)
so ask yourself, “Do I believe,
can I walk on water?”

Thales Twin
(for those who practice poetry - a caveat)
Few will understand you,
much fewer less will care.
Everyone will think you mad,
and they won't be wrong there.
Friends will flee, abandon you,
parsons will curse your name.
You wander all streets aimless,
your work brings you infame.
Falling into wells is just
the price of starry rhyme
to guide weary travelers,
when Sun has run the sky.

romance of a Roma waggon
tinkering around the world
dreams of blissful freedom
no possessions nothing to lose
bells and whistles violin music
horses with intricate saddles
gallivanting on free reins
crackling camp fires
before you unsettle
look around you
scapegoating and othering
xenophobic attacks
even a tramp under a bridge
has less ill repute
at least a German born hobo
last caveat
visit the museum
at Auschwitz Birkenau

Indomitable
The thing you never thought before
Totally Unsaid unseen that is
My thought, virgin
It never depends on any membrane
Nor my chastity belongs to my body
It is completely a matter of soul
Conviction is not a matter
That you can cripple it
With missiles and bombs
The spirit of my humanity is not a wire
That it will bend or bow under any pressure
Neither my creed will vaporise
Like a drop of camphor
Under your scathing attack
Nor will it be unholy by any human touch

cracks between doors,
like rats, fingers course
thru, corrode against
the inside of a clenched
fist. cease, this silence,
i insist(bite tongue, each
word, penance)suffer,
humor is a sense-
shattered glass tickle
bare feet- the caveat
of clenched teeth. mis-
placed morality, i do
appreciate your sin-
cerity; fate compromised
(the hands of time,
mesmerised in back&forth
instants). "it is okay"
someone will say; but
words change & fall away
like leaves, all intent
bereaved.
