Premium Member Guardians of Israel

Poring over the holy books
  Hoary heads, stroking their beards

Calibrating ancient laws for 2022
  Eschewing payment, revered volunteers

Premium Member A Hypocritical Congressman

A congressman expounding democracy
gives speeches eschewing autocracy
But at home he's a sheikh
letting no one else speak
making his world safe for hypocrisy

Rising Hopes

RISING HOPES
Having passed through 
And unearthed death’s broken myth
Eschewing its pogrom
We’ve got new life,
Our fears and sorrows are gone
Gone forever
And our hopes are rising.

Conducts to better choices 
In the present life
Eschewing wrong decisions
Realized in past decades

Premium Member Microtonal Nightingale

How the woodland creatures would adore
a sound they'd never heard before
as they gathered gladly on the glade
to hear him as with his voice he played,
eschewing the dry diatonic scale - 
the microtonal nightingale.

Moth

MOTH



Unsung butterfly of the night
Seen only in the murk
Eschewing the sunlight
Pale-skinned, huge-eyed, he will  lurk,


His bulb-drawn silent face- 
A morlock of the world of flies
Displayed in night-black case -
Against the cold glass lies.

Beautiful-Acrostic

Beautiful hearts
Eschewing love 
Are philanthropic,
Unfurl sensitivity,
Treasure compassion,
Infringe benevolence,
Forsake comforts.
Unsung brave-hearts
Lambast injustice

Premium Member Army Ants

One whisper...

The forest floor trembles

A path of literal 
mayhem

Untethered to mankind

Strangely eschewing
Frogs, snakes and lizards

"Long Live The Queen"
Their 
Only 
Anthem!

Eternity 
Their
Reward

I
Fall

Premium Member Of Hermits and Old Men

Poets are often solitary,
Eschewing social amenities,
Surrounding their castles with Boxberry,
Cursing the unwary with obscenities
Best left to the imaginations
Of hermits and old men,
Whose skill in communications
Sends gray-haired women back to the hen-
House.

Premium Member Tempus Fugit L

Tempus Fugit L (Time Flies) Written: by Tom Wright 4/15/2018 When faced with a project that I’m eschewing, The time seems prolonged and I speculate why. But undertaking assignments that I enjoy doing, Time escapes, and figuratively speaking, does fly.

Premium Member Morning Hike

I love returning to the vale;
I feel recharged, hearty, and hale.
It lifts my spirits without fail,
bringing a joy that’s not for sale.
It keeps me lighter on the scale
while still eschewing all that kale.
Missy concurs out on the trail,
takes in the smells, and wags her tail.

Premium Member I Don'T Know

"I don't know!" is the current DC speak,

     Said with considerable tongue in cheek!

          Straight talk they are eschewing!

               Don't they know what they're doing?

                    We'd like a lot more truth and less oblique!

Premium Member My Future Self

Shame is a feeling I do avoid.
Too often, something like it has me, destroyed,
and yet, to be a better man,
I must look at myself as best I can,
and that may entail shame.

I look at myself, not to blame, 
but to grow, to not be the same,
and yet to know I'm ever flawed,
eschewing pangs which on me gnawed,
my best self to reclaim.

Premium Member My Summertime Muses

My summertime Muses are wearing the jolly
Still decking “the halls with boughs of holly,”
Eschewing everything droll and melancholy
Chanting a happy tune from “Hello, Dolley.”
Helping me deal with a rambunctious collie
Singing ad alta voce “Good Golly, Miss Mollie,”
As I sink to dabble in foolish, but hilarious, folly.

Premium Member Another Precious Day

The rise and fall scarce audible
inform me that you’re here.
A comfort washes over me
allaying certain fears.
For though I like my quiet time,
eschewing all the noise,
a room devoid of breathing sounds
is one I’ll not enjoy. 
So sleep my darling, slumber on
and I will watch and pray
and thank our Father for  his gift:
another precious day.

Pleasing higher beings

Feel them in my tendons
Hear them in the quiet
See them in the wind
Smell their fragrance

A constant in my life  
Like a steel manacle
Arrested and limited
I must pay the price

Sins from lives past
Karmic justice served
Grow I must or else
Be trapped hereafter

So I speak the truth
I am compassionate
Eschewing victimhood 
Pleasing higher beings

Premium Member Snake Oil Sunrise

SNAKE OIL SUNRISE coiled lies an oily snake circling the rim of the cup eschewing the softness of milk the sweetness of sugar. A black hole – waiting – beckoning the bleary-eyed robot leaving a scent trail harsh, uncivilized, unadulterated, psyche popping caffeine. 11/30/2016

The Claiming Race

Fame means part of you
Maybe all of you
Belongs to someone else
Someone vicarious in their intent
Insatiable given their adulation
Proprietary, 
Eschewing personal risk or harm
Watching from the comfort
Of either praise or blame
They claim your soul like a 
Racehorse
When you win their hearts
Leaving your memory abandoned
 —when dissident odds prevail

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2015)

In the News

Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin
will never balk at an a priori win
has established new rules
resents being told they are for the obedience of fools.

Inaki Urdangerin
can we be sure of the danger he's in?
his wife the Princess
ensonced in a typical Spanish taxation mess.

Mississipi roast
should be apportioned on neat squares of french toast
thus preserving the culture
while eschewing the habits of the predatory Northern vulture.

Symmetry

Symmetry appeals to me – 
The yin demands a yang.
Imagine Dracula if he
Had just one single fang.

A balance is required
For a bird or bee to fly
So Nature has conspired
To explain the reason why.

We have two eyes, two ears, two feet
And, naturally, two hands.
Symmetrically, we are complete
To follow life’s commands.

Rebellious types like things askew,
Eschewing any match,
But when I see their work on view,
I wish they’d start from scratch.

Premium Member Woman-Owned Green Beans

Woman-owned green beans won't string you along, But if you're a man, it’s likely you're wrong. Woman-owned green beans, our virtues extole, Hand-picked from the bush, eschewing the pole. Woman-owned green beans for the man of the hour, We’d best make that two, they still need a shower. Woman-owned green beans are never on sale, ‘Cuz working for less is beyond the pale.
---------- got a chuckle out of this label at the store...

Poof

That childhood faith, vehemently spirited,
Difficult to bend, impossible to tame.
That still-cradled heart, curiously open,
Eschewing fear, shunning struggle,
Accepting of each coming day.
The journey so hazardous.
Now a cold-forged and unyielding heart 
Beats out each agonizing minute.
Jared by indolence and disappointment,
Vision unrecognizably scarred.
The journey so quickly done.
Needing to chance upon that child again
To lightly touch the angel's brow.

Premium Member Ability And Desire

Ability And Desire Miracle Man 3/15/2024 When in his youth he was filled with desires, now sometimes his age causes him to digress. To do youthful things he no longer aspires, but today his thoughts are difficult to express. He was big in sports, and liked to hunt and fish, a military career he should have been eschewing. Now he visits his past able only to wish, while he was away missing years were accruing. For a friend

Premium Member A Voice Crying Out In the Wilderness

Hard edged (unreality) you face away from my immediacy (candour eschewing) inimically you parody, offering as nice the complexity of ''vice''exploiting even nature 

(as voyeur and narrator) your intention anethema to the nations, 
as you   coerce ''your creation'' encouraging over consumption, 

with a hard nosed gumption, yet my God who is greater 
is no longer willing to be a waiter!sickle in hand he is walking his land, 


with the sun as his shadow is this (One)
to be Hallowed..!
