confronted by lions
within a whisker of death
laughing through ~ the fence
By
David Kavanagh
Romania (laughter kills))
They hooted
When the dictator spoke
They chortled
Odium
Giggles of utter contempt
Then they shot him.
She loved tempting fate,
Testing everyone's own love,
Drawing out their hate,
Using their words against them:
Hearts now filled with her contempt.
There is
no life so dark
that it cannot be brightened
by the Son.
Nor man so blind
as one who
refuses to see.
Nor sin so great
as contempt for God.
there once was a skunk named Pepé Le Pew
when he came near, well, everyone knew
Penelope, his chérie
to her, he was smelly
odorous advances met pooh pooh!
Was it a car or a cat I saw
that jumped the curb in contempt of law?
Mad? Am I madam!
Bare is macadam-
No signs of auto tire or cat paw!
First made perfect
Now in my sight
More acceptably turned out.
Whiter than white.
Sinner, Satan
Condemns; not I.
Unbelief's foul self contempt
But left stained by.
The dins of war un-hushed
the jarring of munitions
the cacophony of starvation
the grating contempt for humanity
the discordant silence of the Free
. . . The World
America's
~ Media Anthem ~
A racist nation
God-forsaken
Irreparably divided
with enmity
and contempt
~ for all
Gargoyles watching from rooftop corners
Casting an evil eye on every miscreant.
Guarding the premises with contempt.

Familiarity breeds contempt they say
Just as absence makes the heart grow fonder
Is this the reason couples fight and stray
Seeking their true love way out yonder?

Lining pockets with cash large and small,
Once found out, they return not one call.
But an amendment we need
to inflict on this breed
the same treatment that they give us all.
A lawyer once said, he could get me free.
No trial held, just a hearing you see
A traffic ticket was all.
My lawyer, so very small.
Not seen by judge, contempt of court, jailed me.

Remember September eleven
How could we ever forget? --
With the Taliban we now plead
We no longer contest the Houthi --
Terror mocks America's contempt
for long-term memory
My contempt for anger always shows
Unaware it breeds in my own veins--
How to be better, my heart follows
A pathway of kindness this like follows

Body, who sees itself
A slave, are you
Therefore apt to brush aside
Life, that demeans.
But not this; for the soul
A fair prince is.
Too much beneath its contempt!
Fires star-filled dreams.
Lawyers supply inept legalese.
One while defending my Pekinese,
went into a stupor,
made one fatal blooper.
Stripped in front of the judge ridding fleas.

Order in court, you're charged fallible,
Held in contempt for rhymes impassable.
Corny pick-up lines I applaud,
Infringing copyrights is fraud!
That is why we are not compatible.
Our art grew twisted and broken.
Horrifying.
Simple to the point of contempt.
Unclear by intention.
For it is dying ...
Dying to the demands of reason
that assumes all can be understood.

Familiarity Does Breed Contempt
Contempt can often be bred by familiarity,
And an ideal environment appeals to parity;
We tried to find,
But left behind,
Fear from despair they created by disparity.
Jim Horn
suppressing their simmering contempt;
ever the performance artists
wearing fake smiles like ski masks.
praying for your downfall
when you taste success.
do not trust them!
don't swallow
poison
pills
The quandary of physics…
a tool to divide
A slave to its master,
alone to misguide
Capable of function,
but never intent
An eye without vision
—and blind with contempt
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Encountering attributes and items beyond possessing
Nurtures a feeling of wishes and contempt in
Variable degrees, dependent on self control; but it’s a
Yummy ingredient to bad character and a dark soul
if i die before the day
heal the hurt that i have laid
on fragile flesh and innocent minds
that by chance became my shade
if i sleep eternal nights
save a prayer for the sick
sheltered in the poison ivy
by my hands now in contempt
