Premium Member Daffynitions

We need to make a confession;
We used a little discretion.
It seems Webster’s thought wise 
The edits we supplied.
Good news! We’re not in recession.

Deference To Rene'

Do you believe consciousness
a free state
Choice empowering the moment
strong
Neurons firing at your
discretion
Time unencumbered
—reality won

(The New Room: August, 2022)

Discoursed

Better to slip through
than run over

Better to finesse
than to force

Better to persuade 
than to dictate

Discretion
—all meaning discoursed

(Dreamsleep: September, 2019)

Premium Member Discretion and Valor

‘The better part of valor is discretion‘
(Henry IV, Part 1, Act 5, Scene 4)

By Shakespeare

After 38 years of marriage
I have learned to be very discrete~
I just say yes dear you are right

Primal

It's the sun's prerogative
whether to shine.
It's the moon's volition, 
to make our dreams sublime.
It's the stars discretion,
whether we align.

But to love you
is a choice all mine.

Primal and divine!

With All Shame Gone

With all shame gone, pride of life's
Showy nobody
Now given that road, crassly loud
To crash and burn on

Discretion, of its silence
And its privacy
That old style mind of its housing
Now serves as bastion.

Facing What Effects Me the Most

Shadowed by the death of depression
Facing the life of discretion
Staying in silence of what was not me
But what shall I do, tell on thee
What would that do except cause a problem
Maybe next time the teller will have more wisdom

Premium Member A Husband's Discretion

Everything "mine" becomes "ours" and then "hers."
Everything "hers" remains her sole possession.
In marriage the ownership line always blurs
And as a mere husband I'd better not question...
Silence can be the best part of discretion.

Video audio 
Vicarious living 
Voyeuristic addict
Vegetatively blissed 
Viewer discretion, right
Volume blasts to the max
Vexed neighbour calls with axe

Premium Member What's Always Been Will Be

Lies are the new truth, but let's stay cool
Dignity and common sense are so old school
Pride month is here, calmness and discretion is key                                                          
Respect one another's point of view including LGBT

The Tempest

The sea in turmoil lets the billows crash,
As the moon watches playful high tides,
Plunge to bathe the lone barren rocky beach;
Kindle a stormy froth and fuming backlash.
 
Never trust the sea with dark horizons;
For its waves change at their discretion:

Political Apathy

What is common sense or common knowledge where does it all make sense

What is the point of have a degree if the worth out weight the matter

What is discretion against common live where is the mean of additament

With one start one where is the answers.

Be wise

Practice foresight

Discern* with God’s prudence 

Midst schemes of evil attackers

Truth speaks!

*Malachi 3:18 … Discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Premium Member Blowing a Kiss To You

Never let it be said
old fashion kiss is dead,
now lovers are not shy
when sent over the sky,
a face book confession
with naked discretion,
oh of that I do pass
without compromise lass,
for I’m telling you this
love blowing you a kiss!

Coordinated

“Your hat's all wrong”, she said,
“On the wrong side of your head”.

“To the mirror”, she commanded.
Discovered I was now left-handed.

I removed the hat with discretion,
Found myself without direction.

Realizing the magnitude of my loss,
I valued the lines I could not cross.

Premium Member Soldier of the Forest

the evergreen casts a full shadow, a grayscale vision
she has served as camouflage for raccoons, mice, and snakes
a soldier of the forest, standing against the north winds
showing the woods what a true patriot looks like
animals depend on her confidentiality, security and discretion.

“All Gurgle And No Guts” A Limerick By: Tom August 2, 2020 Many like to talk big, but talk is cheap, and when cornered won’t utter a peep. They no longer strut, but keep their trap shut. To avoid introduction to temporary sleep. "Discretion is the better part of valor"

Men

Marvel at man's creation
But do so at your own discretion 
For men is not without fault 
And his appraisal, yourself shall mold
He is the fall to many a things
And to countless felony is he complicit
But fret not, fear thou be
He is not all without saving grace 
After all...he shall be he's own undoing

Connecting Hearts

I'm telling you a big confession
Please don't give any objection
I will try to use discretion
When I say how my affection
Is part of a love collection
Filling up section by section
With a great tuneful collection
Towards a sweet fulfilled connection
That we won't forget to mention
They will be in full protection

Repent

Apologize to God
And make your atonement
Be ashamed
And contrite

Be so deeply sorry 
Bewailing your discretion
Feeling all the remorse
In deploring your sins

Relent these acts
And reproach yourself
Seeing the error of your ways
So filled with sorrow

Have many qualms
As you lament these deeds
Feel every regret
And begin to reform
