Always, bees compete defensively.
Each flower grows healthily.
Infection junkies kill lustfully.
Managed nuks offer perfect “Queens Royal” –
Sadly, techniques use viruses’
willfully x-terminating young zygotes.

If but one- roomed for
A dim lit shy one's
Quiet corner view
For a heart at peace, so lodged
And so fixedly
A more bless'ed place
What towered, royal
The ancient past o'er.
Facing, what for world's dangers
Scanned, defensively.
Be silent, Oh my heart and see
this feeling of descent.
Somehow, Oh God while kindness flee
my spirit pays the rent.
That fool's calm goading of espree
so viciously soft sent,
does empty slowly by degree
the grace to so repent!
Tis then, I pray for thy consent
as not defensively
to love me still, while others bill
their nonsense of resent!
Be silent, Oh my heart and see
this feeling of descent
somehow, Oh God while kindness flee
my spirit pays the rent!
That fool's calm goading of esprit
so viscously soft sent
does empty slowly by degree
the grace to so repent!
It's then, I pray for Thy consent
as not defensively ~
to love me still, while others bill
their nonsense of resent!
Be silent, Oh my heart and see
this feeling of descent ~
somehow, Oh God while kindness flee
my spirit pays the rent!
That fool's calm goading of esprit
so viscously soft sent,
does empty slowly by degree
the grace to so repent!
It's then, I pray for Thy consent
as not defensively ~
to love me still, while others bill
their nonsense of resent!
Living in the shire;
Searching for that ring;
You may have found a lot of things;
But you never kept a thing.
You hid behind a bush;
While purpose you compiled;
Disguised yourself as innocent;
But the dung you left was vile.
And in the fires of your yesterdays;
In the crackles you may hear;
You may live defensively;
But you’ll never beat the fear.
You are the pickiest eater she said
And I thought we were friends
There you are playing in your food he said
I looked at my plate; it was not playing
Do all friends criticize or just my friends?
I look at the skeleton of my cake
I ate what I wanted, I say
Not defensively, but matter-of-factly.
They look at each other and snort
Maybe not friends at all
I can do better
I drive as if the rest of the vehicles are speeding bullets
because in truth they can be, except they might do more damage.
I drive defensively with my window cracked about an inch.
I do not want to be surprised when a firetruck cuts my car in half.
I turn my head when I change lanes because there is a blind spot.
Those who do not believe in a blind spot are not here to brag about it.
Definitions strain contends defensively
no obligation of restraint ~ creativity
lures its object, beauty, to the mind
and leaves insipidness behind, behind!
Nor desecrate as if alone
reactions tempered my unknown,
insolvent only as to loan
does liquify its purpose own!
Then dissipates as if my prone
were self existing, ne'er by sown ~
To live my art, I must condone
needs deprivation . . . for my poem!
Relentlessly the years go by.
As if it were an evil crime,
Defensively I bravely try
To fight the ravages of time.
As if it were an evil crime,
I'm giving age the old heave ho.
To fight the ravages of time,
The lines and grey will have to go.
I'm giving age the old heave-ho,
Defensively I bravely try.
The lines and grey will have to go.
Relentlessly the years go by.
For Jared's Pantoum contest.
