Short Complied Poems

And who makes false the truth, in time
be it aggressors so complied
with tyranny that life does youth
their motives, while the young are tried!...

Be it aggressors so complied
with tyranny, that life does youth
their motives . . . while the young are tried!...

Chew my bananas at least thirty-two times
Never explained why
Digestion so I complied
An old-time remedy to ring my chimes...

Relied On Until Died

On certain people we always relied;
With right answers were well supplied;
Complied with us;
Never raised fuss;
Honest and loyal up until day they died.

I sit still before the table,
mute, entirely unable 
to employ the quill and ink. 
I am so sad, I cannot think.
Master said "sit", and I complied. 
Then, he clutched his chest and died.

Wandering into my life, you trespass.
Then breaking my heart as if it was made of glass. 

Gently forcing your love, but I willingly complied. 
My heart I laid in your hands you readily crucified.

A young lass in our neighbourhood named Jenna Taylia 
Received many male requests to visit her semitrailer

Most emerged looking happy but a whole lot paler...

How well I spent the weekend fair
  And tasted the rivers form,
Until the morning of Sunday bliss
  Ended with Monday's reform.

With laughing mind, I departed
  And tossed my love aside,
Went back into hiding
  And with society I complied....

With her queenly ego, she said, "My name is now Princess".
And so they complied ~ a loyal crew, whom by her words were led.
Then one day, she chose to change, and took the name of "Mrs."
She had a crown she did not know, the brain within her head....

I rode a painful trail,
because not doing so curtailed

Biting hard on Areion’s bit,
all else in life assailed

With blinders on I forged ahead,
whose route my will complied

Its ledges steep, all fear below
—my destiny astride

It’s unique, sublime
Eternal in space and time
It’s my poetry in rhyme
My honourable prime time.

I play with it like an innocent child
Hit all keys where I smiled and cried
Sing the lyrics of my life complied
Dance to it so free and wild.

It’s unique, sublime
My poetry in rhyme...

Dying to be free,
A fish leaped out of its bowl
And became lifeless:-

Cocooned black worms hang;
Strange metamorphic justice–
Butterflies soar free…

Decay demanded eggs…
Chalk-colored maggots complied–
Hued flies flew away:-

Caged birds sing the blues
After watching a free fish
Flying from its bowl:-...

Untamed unruly 
Insubordinate strands coiled into a restrictive pose
Chemical warfare and arson to my scalp to straighten you out
For a while you complied but you always get tangled up in a mess
Arrested for disorderly conduct
Failing to yield to a comb
Robbing me of my sanity
This delinquency I can’t tolerate
So I had to lock you up...

circumstance 
led to happenstance
five short years ago
we gave love a chance
to intertwine us 
in this intriguing dance
slowly at first, no missteps
nice and easy, not too complex
the tempo changed to a sultry slide
feelings rose that we couldn't hide
passions grew, bodies complied
six years later, four kids sleeping 
by our sides...

Make me a sunshine room the girl said
It was her “make a wish” wish
The decorator spent hours with her
She had a lovely soul, was kind and good

I want a king bed, she told him
He wondered about this
But it was her wish
So he complied

Her parents spent many happy years
In their daughter’s room
Long after she had travelled to heaven...

A chickadee flew up to me
And chirped out a request -
Please fill the backyard feeder
‘Fore I head back to my nest.

I had indeed put out some feed
But clearly not enough,
So other birds had polished off
The nuts and fruits and stuff.

I would have bet I’d never get
A message that’s been tweeted,
But I complied, for even birds
Get angry feeling cheated....

Why can't you see what's happening
You keep those blinders on
You stater the fences
You put up defenses
Of oddities complied in stone
Yet you look all around
And none can be found
Mercies have not yet been honed
Why I spy all around me
And everything I see
In none glittered, and solid not poured
Remember in wealth everything
Not always measured in Gold

Oh, my soul is bare,

like a thorn stinging within my chest.

Beauty surrounds me, yet

I cannot draw pleasure from within.

This Eden that surround me, with

It's magnificent beauty evades me.

I cover, in embarrassment, 

For Adam did lie beside me.

Holding me captive in his arms

And I willingly complied.

Oh, my sweet Lord,

For our sweet innocence we grieve.

Now from this garden we must leave....

Innocence as wanton retrospect untried
the taking of the hand, so oft denied,
that left to copious attitude is shied
of confidence in competing, such deride!

Does rob the soul of vestige since complied,
is lack of faith in character and confide.
The teaching of the will in surge of pride
accompanies adventure, seeking stride!

Restoring of new wonder, virtue's hide
is brought to light . . . not blunder's override!...

I
It's a good day to die
If cancer got you back
Three days ago, I shared bread
With Smiley, a friend's dog
I reminded the youth to water him
Two days in a row, they complied
By this morning, 5 April, Smiley left
Us a legacy of love, loyalty, endurance

Many people have played with 
D O G and G O D ( in letter? Poor Spirit?)

He proved to be a prince and a joy
I remember as I say GODSPEED Smiley...

Falling, flowing, side by side
each in its own deride
nor temperament, nor landing's pride
but grace to weather nature's ride!

They fly together ~ falling's hide,

and colors faring in abide!

A sadness, caring opens wide
the faith of smallness in reside
my larger deeds seem small in stride
this oneness paring my confide!

My trust seems scaring, rent to tried
God's beauty ~ sparing poet's chide!...

Like popcorn firing in my brain
A lie was born - I can't explain

My tongue spun out a syrup web
A viscous tide that did not ebb

Sugar sweet and tenderised
From between my teeth, emerged my lies

My lips complied, and did not fail
To add some honey to the tale

Like nectar of the gods, I fear
It trickled into your kind ear

Far too quickly, far too keen
They left me feeling sick and mean

Like popcorn firing in my brain
A lie was born - I can't explain...
