Then flinch when ours appear near

And when no answers find them
They bristle at what they can’t hear

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

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…

Premium Member Advice for Evel Knievel

To escape the commonplace and the humdrum -
ah, 'tis the classic conundrum,
but it makes me shiver
that you'd jump the Snake River,
making me think you're a dum dum.

Each year, we resolve, right at the start,
these commitments we take to the heart,
following, to the letter,
plans that should make us better.
So, why is it I'm falling apart?

Premium Member Appearances

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 Can't Blame Me

       The internet is mankind’s biggest boon
          Information arrives so soon

       All the same, it’s his greatest bane

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!

Premium Member The Humpty Dumpty Conundrum

The Humpty Dumpty conundrum -
is it a cravat or cummerbund?
Do not answer this in haste - 
from the bottom up what is his waist
might as well be his neck,
and now that egg is in a wreck.

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.

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?
