He looks at me
A deepness in his eyes
Questioning
“who’s ball is this?”
“and why do I keep bringing it back?”

Premium Member The Licking Conundrum

When a cat licks himself all over people smile and call it preening.

When a dog licks himself people frown and ask….”why does he do that?”

Conundrum

This mind in me is a puzzle box…   When I force the piece it quickly locks…   Turn 
feeling within, remembering to grin…    The mystery will align like square blocks…

Each year, we resolve, right at the start,
these commitments we take to the heart,

plans that should make us better.
So, why is it I'm falling apart?

God appeared at Sinai
  within a thick cloud
Although He spoke
  quite clear and loud

A conundrum sure
  this is to some
Yet if He be invisible ~
  appearances are risible

Premium Member Through Other People's Eyes

If only everyone
Could see themselves
Through other people’s eyes,
For wise men who don’t know
That they are wise,
Are fools,
Whereas fools who know 
That they are fools,
Are wise!
Form: Rhyme

House Plant Conundrum

Houseplants reproach me,
and show drooping stems
and mottled leaves.
Death cannot be tolerated
Even at this level.
But then again, 
I'm far too lazy to do anything about it.
Conundrum.

Paradise - Sedoka

A mysterious place
Created for everyone
Some said it's the real heaven
Beyond human's eye
A conundrum to one's mind
Aspiration to all souls.

Premium Member What You Will

beginning 
               now
vocals
        evaporated
windows
         compressed
a lost
         key
clocks 
          stopped
the conundrum..
of
    silence
             ..unheard

Premium Member The Least

Desire…
Desert thirst,
Mirage
Chase futile…
Prudence.

Discovered
At end
Beauty of
The least. 

This or that
Options…
Conundrum.

Need none…
Unattached.

Happy soul.

Premium Member A Clerihew Who

Such a conundrum is President Trump.
He wants us to know that he isn't a grump.
If he's addressed with words cruel and bitter,
He'll warm up his computer and answer on Twitter.

sent forth from Church's

to medicate Jesus Christs Sins

Persevered by rogues of sugar

Conundrum 2

I study a sphere 

For a simple clear answer 

And imagine a bubble, a ball and 

A dancer

And still no evidence 

Of a conclusion,

Is sphere just a rhyme wor(l)d 

For a compound illusion?

Things To Say, Sights To See

i have so much
to say yet
no one will
listen

i have so much 
to see yet
no one will
show me

my hands are tied 
and my mouth is
glued shut

what a conundrum
how unfortunate

Premium Member Satin Conundrum For Contest

Her satin pants and bra kept slipping
she was forever at them  hauling 
her knicks around her ankles
her face as red as bangles
as at them she kept on tugging

Premium Member A Tough Nut to Crack

I met a puzzle and conundrum.
His name is "Why Am I Becoming Dumb",
A diabolically a tough nut to crack,
both he and I are poised for attack. 
I'm pretty sure I'll crack him, but
he thinks that it's I who is the nut.

Strangers

Gloom in his chamber
Turbulence in the conundrum
None of these he invited
None of these he beckoned
They made their way to him
Dawn chauffeured them

the length of my wisdom
the width of my sorrow
do not match the height of my dreams
a ruler in hand I try to find the perfect box
a conundrum I use bubble wrap to float the soap of foam
and squeeze to fit the truck for delivery.
