Haiku in English a strict 5/7/5
the most difficult to contrive
Tanka adds a couplet 7/7
show then tell the poetic leaven
The smartest cavaliers at the command 'To horse!'
contrive to be in time for both a horse and whores.

My dad always carried a flask
But he never once wore a mask
If he were alive
I know he'd contrive
A way to walk off with a cask!
Writing my poem while sun comes low
While queen's song plays on the radio
Where poetry and music contrive
The seeds of faith come alive

Humans are a strange lot, don't you agree
Should take lessons from the animals, you and me
Only kill to survive
Not to contrive
Nasty schemes to take over another's teepee
Adversaries are none
When trepidation emerges
Rhetoric voices undone
Temper surges
Contrive modes of destruction
Follows continuous bashing
Unequivocal construction
Without talk trashing
We don't want our love ones to hue and cry
Thus, Everytime we contrive to survive
From the inside out, We must give the eye
Because... one hard word to say is goodbye

Look out to look in to look out
To be there we need someone to shout
For us to survive
We need to contrive
Sadly, frankly i have serious doubt

Democrats run on problems
they contrive
Republicans run on problems
they deny
One as bad as the other,
together much worse
As the status quo suffers
—awaiting the hearse
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
What if I were to describe
How much it takes to keep me alive
So I can more easily survive
And in case I have to revive
Myself, I won't take a nose dive
While my path appears to be five
And two for destiny which I did contrive.

The woman shaped mountain, though old it would thrive.
But who could have know she had been real and alive.
I hadn't known she was a woman, till she stared into my eyes.
The townsfolk think i'm lying, I hear all their rude replies.
Soon enough they'll understand. A plan I shall contrive.
How will the robots remember us?
I’d like to think they’ll write poems in some
Style they develop for themselves, contrive
To move their electron-shifting hearts,
Inheriting our passions good and bad,
The joys and bitter miseries that they
In their birth and evolution never
Thought or ever dreamed we had.
Here is my boasting I am hosting
If I could I would contrive a spacious
Garden flooded with all roses!
Mesmerizing magical Magenta
Roses! Iconic idealic indigo roses!
And the most bountiful bodacious
Brilliant bluest roses! Which the
Eye can bearlying perceive aah!
Yeah. Nothing. Short of MAJESTIC
REALITY!
What say you
now..
what likeness
do you display today..
what image
do you contrive..
which trademark
will you leave
for others to ponder-
will it be tempered
by love or
merely
a paraphrase
of the truth
which you so carefully
conceal..
I'm intrigued
I only ask..
is there someone real
behind that mask?
It is fallacious to pretend
we contrive to “become ourselves”
when there’s no one to observe us.
Mere mice with conceits of grandeur
prowling proud like cats in the night -
Hubris holds high its hoary head.
We are ever just whom we are,
we can’t be more and can’t be less
until finally we are not.
A poet, when writing a verse
Should into her feelings immerse
For she won’t survive
If she tries to deprive
What she writes of what might be adverse.
Though, of course, she just might intersperse
Words to soften a blow or reverse
Certain thoughts that contrive
To cause damage to thrive
But to out and out lie would be worse.
Enjoy the quiet.
Embrace the noise.
The tiger waits,
Alert and poised.
Look under the carpet.
Check under the rug.
Spray the stain.
Squash the bug.
Leave it alone.
Take care of it.
Do something.
Stop.
Butter brains and
Omelette eyes,
Too full to contrive.
Starving hearts
Soldier through the
Growing war fields.
Be optimistic rather than fatalistic.
Don't squander and be elated hedonistic.
Retain moving; only the obdurate survive.
Hand jives your way to contrive.
Slump or solidity must be omitted.
Wear awe mood when having moved.
Don't be shy in taking elitism.
Self-reliance is a wedge of realism.
Paul says there are fifty ways
but he only writes about six
where are the other forty-four
I may need them quick
fifty ways to leave a lover
was written in seventy-five
how about phone or text break-ups
they're easier to contrive
there just isn't a good way
to leave or to be left
one heart always hurting
till a new love is met
Put away inside
Told to stay alive
Lost in all but name
Nothing seems the same
Expected to survive
When life is so contrive
Alone at night and day
Taking part as slaves
We run we run we run
Only to end up
Put away inside
Put away inside
Put away inside
And our minds rot
And our minds clot
And our minds’ clock,
stop

Two months of knowing,
that this dream you've been showing
to my weathered, weary soul
Is something real and alive,
and no better reality could I contrive
than one right by your side.
Two months of smiling,
knowing that I'm no longer simply whiling
away my time to no end.
There's now a method to my madness,
a reason for my gladness,
a happiness we know to be true.

TETRACTYS Stebbings did contrive a complete thought in five

Eternal wandering, laboring but at scythe
my thought seemed everlasting, saying ~ "I've"
abiding in thy softest grace, found live
that journey ~ taking fault, by its contrive.
Still journeying ~ that a destination's strife
might empty and compare its factored rife,
love empties not ~ nor jeers to emphasize
some latent hope, forgiveness realized ~
Thee, as my hope ~ His journey have arrived!
I am not what I look to you;
To my soul I am always true.
Because of it, I am alive.
God, out of it, joy I derive!
What is good or bad my soul knows;
On my character, light it throws.
For my sake, I let it contrive.
God, out of it, joy I derive!
I would like to be what I am,
By not involving in any scam;
I follow my soul to survive.
God, out of it, joy I derive!
I filed a thirty page legal bill of complaint
about some things that aren't right. They certainly ain't.
I bought dehydrated water for a buck thirty-five -
how could a gentleman think to contrive
to sell me this product...without any instruction
(resulting in my home's near total destruction).
When I used too much water, it created a flood.
It flowed out of my house and turned into mud!
