Short Compunction Poems

Two policemen at a luncheon
Both men wearing a truncheon
When a youth started a fight
The policemen struck the boy with might
All done without compunction...

There was a stupid chap from North Shore
Who bought Viagra in fifty doses and more.
Confused respecting it function
He took more without compunction.
Now he has trouble exiting his front door....

Rupture of Trump Infrastructure

Does appear to be another big rupture,
Of Trump, and his infant infrastructure,
Lying and lying;
More supplying;
Has been combined with compuncture.

(Being idiot he has a compunction.)

Compunction For Construction

What we came up with was a compunction
Create, begin and start new construction;
Building design did desire;
Built this way would inspire
And start formation of a new function.

It ended up taking the place of the
White House.

with great reliance
is accuracy of science
no coincidence

basic assumption
priest was full of much gumption
also compunction

water was flowing
all my flowers are growing
grass may need mowing

Trump surely was scared
found out that he is impaired
less he always cared...

You feign contrition
No body for resolve
Absolute you’re dying eyes
Cocoon in silken wrappings
The inner being consoles
Obtuse mother
With her little stranger
Those counterfeit tears
Bellows no more
Lack of compunction
Halo of strife
I didn’t ask
To be born
But I was begat
To this life...

Homonymic flares.
Spelling not quite write.
Conjunctions in dysfunction.
Grammer outta site.

Synonymic pairs.
Rhyming that's adverse
To silver oranges with compunction.
Timing never worse.

All literation as a smile to me.
I pine to pen a pun.
As like a poet I can bee
Buzzing beneath the clouds,  oops,  sun....

What if I saw things differently?
Like a moon unveiled by a setting sun
Like a stranger revealing with a glance
A landscape in the furrows of a face
Wishes that become commands
The shadow of a drape assuming a new form
The obvious becoming a mystery

What if the solid dissolves?
And I gulp without compunction
Sniff the odours of commotion
Abandon and trust
In difference

has small squinty eyes
brutal attacks he applies
never very wise

over a barrel
so Putin should be sterile
life is imperil

from our deduction
Putin wants total destruction
has a compunction

up us story chocks
Putin likes to harm all folks
Sandy Hook was hoax

God made no mistake
look at me who He did make
perfect and complete

Another Compunction

What I have is another compunction;
Make chart measuring Trump's destruction
While we started singing same old song;
In a nut house he really does belong;
Builders have to do with construction.

Now he is insulting someone else by
calling himself a builder. All that he
builds is a bunch of hot air and still
thinks he is campaigning.

Rehearsed words tumble from his tongue
capable of vaporizing
feelings; then with his briefest smile
becomes the redresser once more
leaving the object of his words
emotionally traumatized:
Mind raping at its finest form;
Cold-bloodedness runs through his veins
colder than any ectotherm;
Temperament worse than the worst
lacking the slightest compunction;
More like reptilian than human
this controlling creature thriven
on human mental frailties....

Tarnished or burnished, of late from the store.'
reflections of glimmers..a world, outside my door..'

At shards of perception, I squint and I peer."
through the air, my conception still.' much is unclear )

you blandly gaze cold , though  re-sending suns rays
a friend without compunction? a mocker of age..

you dazzle the nations; or just one person at a time..'
a help to boxers, of't the ballet! & street artists 'in mime'

STILL HOLDING MY OWN

There once was a broken sink
The repair cost makes me think
Much porcelain gone
Shards to step upon
It’s taking me right to the brink

Broken pipes and a dented junction
At the time, I felt no compunction
As I vented my spleen
I had kept it so clean
But at least it has limited function

The cause of the damage is known
To replace it, I might need a loan
Collective rage, I am sure
Hammers found on the floor
But then, I’m still holding my own
...
