Short Devises Poems

After the Flood

When wickedness thrives,
God devises solutions.
Righteousness restarts.

Haughty eyes,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood.

A heart that devises wicked schemes,
A mind that pursues wicked dreams

A false witness who pours out lies
And any man who stirs up strife....

********
That lady from the town of Devises
Yes the one with two different sizes
A Great Dane and a Yorky
Honest it's no porky
Twas the big one that won all the prizes

Finally he has gone to fish
With a nylon net
Since unskilled he is
Anyhow has set the net,

But, o! he alone has caught
All the fishes
No a single one in the pond
For them, you or us,

Modern devises are so accurate
To finish things at once
Beings also face same fate
Here, there always....

Letting the games begin
Her cold broken heart lets her win
Once beating with passion 
Now turned to stone
Stripped completely of love
Left all alone
Willing not wanting
She devises her plan
Her prey all to easy
He is only a man
She is poised for the kill 
No one can survive
This is not a life 
She is merely alive...

Listen to poem:

Bring in the din of children's cries
    the kin of family ties
    the chagrin of forgiven woe betides.
Let in the breeze of summer skies
    the wherein where laughter resides
    the grin of warm welcoming smiles.
Dial in the joys of compromises
    that the peacemaker devises
    to hide all conflicts with disguises.
Ring in the calls to claim the prizes.

'All In' for all is the call, 
which harmonizes....

He has been born with the power to control
He sees the things around him are in a row
He observes what those things are meticulously
He thinks of best ways to make use of them technically
He devises various means to reach the aim
He makes mistakes to bring the tame
He gets what he desires
He puts to practice getting the things he admires
He gets the catch:
‘i’m in charge’
He has really come of age
He is the man image...

Literally independence sovereignty

Independent autonomy license in free rein

Being just let be

Everywhere surroundings freed

Reaching for the separate devises

The State of being free within a society



Reign freedom, rings

Everywhere there's air

Indenpenant and by one's self

Gone on into unlatched mode

Never to be confined again

gang of astrophysicists
figuring it out
utilizing hundreds of devises
standing on the shoulders of pioneers

gang of astrophysicists
understanding what must be done
allowing astronomers to see invisible objects
we are small, but we are mighty

gang of astrophysicists
working miracles
tackling the cosmos
explaining horse shoe Einstein ring

gang of astrophysicists
maneuvering around hundreds of millions of objects
Making the universe
feel a little less huge for the rest of us...
