Canadian Willie Amos
Was so eager to be famous
To prove he's no prude
He zoomed in the nude
And peed to confound the shamus

Holding a broom for a witch
He bows to her strength
Beyond his control, her spells
Which confound his large carved face

Complimentary conundrums creating
Criminal cranial collapses compiling
Complete catastrophic complications.

they rise when we fall

Uniquely divergent,
to impale and enthrall

No reference or genre,
descriptions confound

I pray tonight
the starry light
might
surround you.

I pray
each day
that, come what may,
no dark thing confound you.

I pray ere tomorrow
an end to your sorrow.
May angels’ white chorales
sing, and astound you....

Rondelet

Stuck in a hole
Ear-drums bursting from crumpled sound
Stuck in a hole
Secret wire-tapping sin soul
Loss of sleep is thunder unbound
Death is a noise heart-beats confound
Stuck in a hole

Can you see that it’s true,
but not prove what you know

A problem physicists
and philosophers share

Hints all around,
results to confound

As the questions unanswered
—ensnare

I know the thought of my heart
It is wrapped up by you
My day is made when I hear your voice
My strength is renewed by your warmth
I don’t have any doubt about you
Your ways will not confound me
Because you are all I ever desire...

I watch her undress
Malevolence unbound
I want to caress
Morals confound

I watch her provoke
sinful depositions
I want to invoke
Lust's convictions

I sit and I stare
reluctantly still
My love, I shall dare
And beauty shall kill...

Nothing seems right with you, 
Nothing seems right without you, 
You confound me, 
I am lost in your innocence, 
Broken by your silence, 
Smothered by your presence,
Forever at war with who you are, 
And with with who I want you to be....

Peaceful clouds floating by, in my 
visions they do keep.
Melodic tones softly chime, wind 
resting near my feet. 
Eerie words confound my brain yet 
undoubtedly relax my soul.
Nesting near the blue waters edge, 
sun sets on truths untold....

I've searched high and low all over the house,

   For my cotton pickin' computer mouse.

      I ain't found it,

         Now confound it!

            I suspect my smug cat devoured the mouse!

Romantic writing intrigues me
Calls to my soul
Delights me

Romantic imagery awakens my dead feelings
Reminding me of who I am when I am my best self

Romantic metaphors confound me and confuse me
Inspiring me to try and become a better poet...

I am hoping, with my emergence. 

That they will take pictures with urgence. 

Because I’ve been lost and I’ve been bound. 

When I was in prison, I felt confound. 

But with each step, I am learning. 

That no one found my disappearance concerning....

Does it shimmer with confusion?
Quake with conclusion
Sulfate with the meanings residue 
confound and astound you?
Does it rake and equivocate
Does it boil down and resonate
Does it shake your foundation and destroy your
condemnation?

If so your getting it right...

Feelings fill the page
but can confound the sage
by the poem's mouthful

True, Good, Beautiful
transcending to the thoughtful
I find these engage

In his science
 he wrestled

With my verse
 just the same

As his numbers 
 refigured

The words
 I renamed

Two roads
 to one place

Distant windows
  one light

Time still to 
 confound

Albert’s shadow
 so bright

It's always her
Every time all the time
All the way 
Throughout the line
It's always her
On the damn dime
All around she'll be found
In the rhyme 
Love her kind
Like compound
Type confound 
Expound resound 
She is love
She is sunshine
So fine with wine
Cool rhyme
I resign...

Bravery and fear
  not either or

But versions of…

Valor and shame
  brought heretofore

Mixed pieces of…

A riddle to confound
  the poet’s mum

As glory weds disdain…

Courage and fear
  not zero-sum

But oft times look the same

I solve crimes daily
From a brown Lazy-Girl-Recliner
Upstaging seasoned professionals
Solving cases that confuse and confound assigned detectives.

My husband is in awe,
singing my praises,
expressing his admiration for my abilities.
Not realizing how many times I have seen each episode....
