Unexpected cleverness bursts out of a poem
Delighting me, inspiring me
It is rare that I laugh aloud as I read
Today I did
So, I read the poem a second time
Also rare for me....

courage
against odds

righteous balancing
prepared to fight bullies
snake cleverness, dove wisdom

“With keen weapons love defends”

In silent bursts of cleverness
Despite the snow, we are happy
Fading stress and unhappiness
As the sun's rays remove darkness,
Storm's enraged beneath the blackness,
Daytime scenes are widely sappy
In silent bursts of cleverness
Despite the snow, we are happy.

In vast realm between both false realities 
efforts of a strained bowel movement collapse
like the arithmetic dreams of abacus beads.
Arthritic persistence contemplates procrastination
while stillborn attempts at cleverness 
seem to flicker as defibrillator paddles exchange electrons.
You can’t revive what wasn’t alive.

Mystical moon dancer who summons owls
Spinning her wild imaginative cleverness
Flowing amongst the rhinestone stars
Summoning the holy wise ones
Delighting heaven’s gatekeepers
Emoting words of love
Showering humanity with dainty hope
Frolicking in a frothy ethereal light
Pirouetting soulfully amongst the sky keepers
Mystical moon dancer who summons owls...

Freedom a space in time;
Left, with only sadness;
I only have vibes;
For happiness ever after;
Trapped in a world of madness;
Slavery got me behind;
The wings of the lamb;
If I help you along;
Don't thank me for my kindness;
Just join me in the song;
Take me from this fine mess;
Applaud me in my cleverness;

Poetry is not simply rhyming words,

It's a genuine work of art, 

Painted from inside,

A memory captured,

Broken hearts dripping pain to paper,

With tears that erase impunity,

It's grasping hope that is lost then found,

And cleverness that fondles laughter,

Yes,

I hide you in my poetry,

You are there,

In every word.

Cut throat 
Cut knife 
Its double edged life
Blood drips 
Life slips
Whispers gone away
Nothing to say
Young lives losts
Souls gone forever
All because people think there clever 
Brainwashed into senselessness 
Adding to there so called cleverness
Innocent angels
Dirty devils
The sense of all evil
Big or small
Should have no knives at all
Bring in a license to use
Up the age limit
Use a permit
Lets save lives 
Don’t use knives

When the light hits right 
    Her eyes just twinkle bright

Her beauty no matter how
    big or small always amazed me

The cleverness of her thinking helped
     to guide me

A new light shines in the sky bigger
    and brighter from the rest

As I take another closer look
    it takes a unique form

It twinkles bright, its beauty amazes me,

And when I get lost I look to it and
    it guides me home safely to a 
       comfortable rest....

Perseverance of many things that may not be controlled,
Actions not always taken on the fly without any regard,
Truth and value of all things and continually patrolled,
Intentional gain of thought will never end hands barred.
Exceptionally this virtue will allow such deep passion.
Never going off the wall in excitement that makes a fall,
Cleverness in containment of emotions may be old fashion.
Each of us needs to think, before overacting on what we saw....

Cleverness and Humbleness
Search for excellence
Therapy words
The fire that burns
Anecdote Heal
Through the alphabet
The leave determined to arrive
Valleys of doubt
Understanding needing seek
The desire to be meek
Echoing voices 
The tongue expresses out
Statement after statement
Mistakes having corrections
Love with enduring affections
Until in everlasting
The Writing Feather’s friend
Throughout always at the end
The Feather with the hand glide.

Her power and strength come from within
Her essence is carefully grounded
Spirit animals congregate to her side
Giving her dreams the extra touches she needs

Raccoon gives her cleverness
Fox gives her cunning
The white wolf shows her how to howl her truth
She is validated by her spirit animals

Confidence and self-assured poise is her armor
Her strength comes from her willingness to be herself
To follow her heart, and live her soul dream to its fullest capacity...

What comes must also go.
We see new climate show.
It arrives at a pace, 
hitting us in the face.
It’s down to our neglect
that brings counter effect.
We cared not for the earth
and plundered all its worth.

Now we’re in one big mess
‘cos of our cleverness.
We thought we were master
and our slave was nature.
But she has subtle ways
that now number our days.
The pendulum does swing
and a big shock it bring.
We now can’t escape it.
Seems we are in the s....  ....

Life can be compared to a cunning fox,
We often need to cogitate out of box;
Showcasing our cleverness.

Death can be compared to gloomy songs,
We need to surrender as the time bongs;
Accepting with braveness.

Life and death are non-identical entities,
We need to agnize, there aren't immortalities;
Relenting sheer earnestness.

R-ose to her verve and wit, 
U-ntiring viewers watched; 
B-eauty and brains they witnessed, 
Y-es, life's lesson was catched.

A-mount of skill was big, 
N-ot few or small in volume; 
N-either slight nor puny, her knowledge was in bloom.

Z-eal to rise to the occasion, 
U-sing her own cleverness; 
L-arge size of intelligence
U-nfolded her huge success.
E-veryone was awed by her, 
T-enth October friends did greet; 
A-udience in the big event rose to her verve and wit....
