Breaking down defenses

You sting to attention
Breaking all convention 

Caution this spice of life
She will not make a wife...

a longed for
         caesura from
convention,
        life en pause
on hold,
    an open ended
flight from
               reality..
a still point...

I Must Mention

Things I must mention;
Dissension and division,
Cause apprehension.

Is an extension,
Of my mental retention,
At my convention.

Hearts skipping beats like a percussion
The time stopped, lost in contemplation
Confusion, convention, condensation.  ...

WIT


Wit works better than hits
Act with sure intention
Bits find some awkward fit
Tact strains odd convention

Trump Big Bone of Contention

Trump was big bone of contention;
Smart Aleck at political convention;
Much  disdain;
Constant pain;
In ranks raised so much dissension.

To save a few bucks I'm puffing like an engine
To keep the price down
So I can buy a new gown
To wear at my company's next convention...

Suffocate the Papal decreed

In Ranks Did Discover Dissension

While mumbling about then did mention,
Ended up going to a Trump convention;
Many had loitered;
Then reconnoitered;
In ranks we did discover much dissension.

Corrupt Political Convention

We had gone to a corrupt political convention;
Like a moron many things they did mention;
To us occurred,
Were all absurd;
We left it with a great deal of apprehension.

Epigram 
Beware of tradition it can be harmful and Intolerant
 Hateful of those who do not share your way of life
 New ideas will be met with scorn old ways was best.
 Not true, don`t let convention steal your freedom...

A glance of the eye,its gaze looking
but not seeing expressions on the
inside.Missing the sense of calm
surrounding the radiant soul,clear
and bright liberated from convention.

All
change
evolves-
as taboos
become convention

As
art
nouveau
brings anguish,
then bewilderment
conceives a new understanding

When
a
doodle
or gesture
becomes surreal

New
forms
mix old
rhythms in
novelle images...
