Short Circumspect Poems

For a week he had feigned being ill
“neath a blanket of leaves he lay still
And just for effect
He shunned circumspect
Playing dead right next to the grill

Christ Has Risen

A bright sun, welcomes His day,
Flowers bow in loving respect.
Birds fly in joy, ever circumspect....

The moose looked on with disrespect
brown owl did nothing but circumspect
for right beneath the unaware old woman’s nose
her dog was balancing fuchsia cat with his big toes...

writing poems with my chicken neck
a sprinkle of salt, why not? What the heck?
Words surround my mind, one gives a genuflect.
humor is there somewhere, if I knew how to circumspect....

Be circumspect in
Wading into temptation
Steer clear of that danger zone
For the devil is
Always waiting to trap you
Wade not into temptation

Love is heart given
Hoping we receive the same
Chances lovers take

When came the moment
That we held each others heart
Love, made no mistake

One life together
Retrospect and circumspect
Is what we made it...

When did being weird
become politically incorrect?

When were old rules disappeared,
and new ones appear unchecked?

I will not be commandeered 
into a social engineering project!

I will dance with being weird,
and the devil take your circumspect!...

If only you caught a real sense of admiration for him,
drew near his coffee-scented academic gown,
by chance you grew together with my cherished Daddy

His adult years had little need of  an accurate blood testing 
instrument to do a circumspect study and prediction...

A Starry Winter's Night

Stars
twinkling
in the skies
above Norway
on a Winter’s night
entertain skygazers
(circumspect of the weather)
observing the phenomena,
who embed memories in their minds
for recollection when in pensive moods.
                    ***

Being quite circumspect,
I've come to suspect
I'm far from perfect.
But with all due respect,
I humbly reject
Any who would inspect
Then collect 
And correct
All aspects
Of my defects.
Except,
I expect
Those who can also accept
Please pardon my dialect - 
They's fah from poifect...

Truth to Power…Historically

                         leaders
                 gifted, circumspect
           guiding, serving, protecting
goals, negotiations, regulations, movements
       conflicting, undermining, upsetting
                  pompous, devious
                         usurpers

Listen to poem:

Envision if you will
how your tunnel vision
denies sharing, context and scope.
Your ambit roundabout whirls in blinkers
denies entry with right-of-way blocks
as you go round and round
spinning endlessly in the dark
on a roundabout game in the park.
Your circumspect vision funnelled 
down tunnel into your black id hole....

Omniscience

Look
Gaze closely
Am I circumspect?
To the coveted veracity
Just take a quick peek
C’mon, you can let me know
Am I heading nearer toward a truth
Or should I give in, pack up, go
Please will you proclaim, just give a tiny hint
A quick glance from you, all that is necessary, omniscience

Mushroom people get crazy on a date.
One is always early, the other late.
They can never agree, choosing to fight.
Making up is always romantic and right.

Mushroom people are zany and fun.
They love dark damp leaves, stay out of the sun.
You can find them buried in wet up their necks.
Don’t be too eager to investigate or circumspect....

Life’s script is pre-writ 
And Fate looms large upon it, 
Resigned, we just quit, 
React to be circumspect, 
Destiny wishes, we act. 

So let down by men 
Fate wails, what use free will then? 
O strive best ye can, 
It is no use to react, 
Act, force Fate change fated facts.

My mind and its complexity,
is summarised by what is "me",
the body lying on the bed,
inconsequential, feet of lead,

The strength and pleasure it provides
diminishes in times reside
but all of this can overcome
if mind’s unbound and free to run.

So take the logic I project
and even if your circumspect
if that free mind is truly "me"
expression’s my identity...

it was the autumn of our lives
being no longer the fools of our youth
that naive twinkle in our eyes long gone
erring these days on the side of caution
our guards wired and circumspect
explanations not needing to be formulated
being much too late to play the lovers' serenade
but still ~ it was pure velvet to the core

Hold on you big angry cat
Laying ambush for the little rat
Take heed and be circumspect 
The rat may not be your suspect 

Wait a minute you big angry cat
Be patient with the little rat
He is  innocent of every crime
Until proven guilty by court in this clime

Listen to me all you angry cats
Compatriots of all the innocent rats
Jungle justice is outdated
And never to be updated...

What due is this, O feline fierce,
for what affront thus penalized
with calibrated nips that pierce
for soft caress unauthorized?

T’was you with brazen move unasked
who burnished coat upon my limb.
What dire affect iconoclast
did stir your feral feline whim?

The cat is oft like womankind
beyond man's feeble intellect,
a primal spirit state of mind,
requiring manners circumspect....

The music

of

your voice

I shall never hear.

I shall never

play a duo with you.

Would we harmonize?

Or find some compromise?

Does one need to hear

the sound of someone's heart,

transposed into verbal music..

Or can we manage without it?

Ideolect

Sociolect.

Circumspect?

Words reveal the lost soul.

But not the whole story.

Play it again

But this time

Speak it.

I want to hear the music

Of you....

2 Be,

Is not be loved

In state of bare undressed

Neither is a cuddle

Nor soiled underwear opon bedroom flooring

After sexual contact after the fact

If all that's left is circumspect

Just luke warm hot release subsidies ever so quickly

Needed to be mopped up

Following by the walk of shame

Then what's the point

Of going through all that will

In the end 

Will only make 1 hate oneself...

Long hallways he preys
Looking for unsuspecting victims
Playgrounds and parking lots
Children going about their day

Avoiding those he knows will swat
The giant in the swaddling cloth
The sting, the bite, fangs fade away
His time to ponder, pause and plot

Against the fence, his belly full
Spies one more chance to strike a blow
But slowly creeping, circumspect
Our knight approaches, cracks his skull

I used to be a worker bee,
And as far as I could ever see,
Would never have the sunshine time,
To sing a song, to pen a rhyme.

I longed so for a day I would be free,
To paint a picture, to watch TV,
That day came with new ways to live,
Bones got stiff, mind like a sieve.

Adapting to the new me I didn’t expect,
My new found freedom was circumspect,
But having cyber friends all over the world,
Is so encouraging to this aging girl....

life is a mystery
for those who do not think
mysterious

taking face value of faces,
though behavior a far truer
evidence

magicians knew diversion 
best, ancestors of science and
swearing instruments

poets are both form and formless -- 
the latter, speaking outside
circumspect rituals – torrid
imagination their claim to
nearer omnipotence...certain one's works 
will live on forever, simply by leaving off 
any 
final 
punctuation...
