Before acting I must find out ~~
                              what my gut feels and my heart says.

Snowman spoons we tenderly made,
Some looked sickle and some looked spade;
Snowmen on cocoa hot,
Lay forethought spot forgot; 
On each, our kitten made a raid…!

Word generator, don't debunk it,
whatever it throws out,don't junk it,
with some forethought I might
get this Limerick right,
it appears I have- who'd have thunk it?

Word generator produced 'forethought'.

My brain bawled
like a hound. 
I was taken aback, 
by the sound. 

I took another bite, 
as they swept past me;
like a 90's reel, 
all my memories. 

Years of forethought;
my assiduous labour made sense. 
I finally felt that day, 
the taste of sundae....

Specific does do be this carrier wave
It was simply completed by thought
Around the world it will be the rave
Putting to an end all that had fought
In each individual to save
 The incoming blast all will be caught
Now initiating brand new rays
All that it requires is some initial  forethought...

The Enormous Silence

And now the enormous silence
Dark clouds, dark day, dark eyes
Stare back from my watery mirror.

The silent treatment.
Bitter medicine
heals neither of us.

No malice of forethought.
No premeditation.
Only the criminal called best intent.
Walks quietly on the road to hell

That is this enormous silence....

With no forethought of romance
Simply wanting to look up, and gaze,
a cute little star winked at me,
unlike others though amply had blaze

'neath a veil of enchanting blue
with traces of beamy-red and yellow
she winked on into the night, my heart
swelling ever so full~feeling large as
a moon, enraptured, quite lustrous and
mellow.......

I have no title..
therefore I am unknown...
Is it because of no forethought..
that I am unborn?
I wish to breathe..
and to be alive,
to be motivated,
and given some drive...
at the very least,
given a name...
so that I won't hold,
these words in shame...
take your pen out,
this moment it's vital...
along with some forethought
and please give me a title....

We are not children of mere chance, 
Each happening has been forethought! 
God has us placed in divine dance, 
We are not children of mere chance! 
His supreme will, our lives enhance;
Coincidence? No, surely not!
We are not children of mere chance! 
Each happening has been forethought.

Blessed are those hearts pure by water once again
Not water from the sea, lake or oasis
But water from the living fountain of rain
They will see the forethought of light with statis
As the spring of living waters with no drain
The pure shall see you, the fountain, through gnosis
They are blessed, they drink from your mouth with no pain
You, God of light and truth, our pure hearts’ basis...

That is a persnickety pussycat someone said. 
She eats daintily with forethought, fork close to her head.
She wields a knife in the best technique of all.
Stabbing her fish with pizzazz and timely gall.

She is a food critic, she has wily wide ways.
Tasting our kibble and bits with tartar sauce glaze.
We see her doing it, and we cringe, waiting for her critique.
As a food critic goes, her reviews are harsh and unique....

* The Tongue
By: Miracle Man
7-25-2023

Sometimes we comply to our inner voice,
giving little thought where it might lead.
We followed blindly, as if void of choice,
then regretting later that we paid it heed.

Remorseful feelings always come too late,
but with forethought we might have avoided.
Once door’s ajar, and horse through the gate,
those abrasive words spoken can’t be voided.



* James 3: 5-12 KJV

Raging black waters
Deadly upon us
Cliffside now crumbling
I’m helplessly tumbling

Forethought depression
Forgot aggression
I still remember
The chill of december

An ocean forever
Darkness the weather
Dead stars are burning
My heart once more turning

The life in me yearning
An instinct returning
Death is a lifetime
Alone without sunshine

Raging upon us
Deadly black waters
But love forged from danger
Keeps hatred a stranger...

Why did I just think that
led down a stormy path
should know myself much better
forethought indeed must catch
stupid things that bring regret
.....and painful memories
I know now to disallow
myself from misery.....

Why did I just think that?
I catch myself before...
regret becomes a stupid act
wrong thought I now ignore.....

Master of my own thoughts
my thoughts don't master me
enslave the crave of inner rave
and walk more peacefully........

Insignificant
——————

Relevance is but a grim word told to those who do not care to matter. Irregardless, though it may seem, was my forethought once said then severed clean. Make haste, for your past is presenting you all with the future.  
Insignificance,  like all the words that were ever taught to me, my haste can only ever be, hurried up just enough to free... I quickly dreamt that I'de seen this all before somewhere, somewhere long, long before me....

Never cop out
In order to solve a problem 
one must think like a “cop”
One must go to that single  donut hole
place in his gut and make a rational decision

Cop only to the human heart

Cop to the heart, body mind and soul in order 
      to find that through line ...

You know that a through line is also the happy medium ending place that which is absent of malice and forethought

Then "Cop" into this happy medium place where "Copping" really, really count...

Words are permanent #1
By Michelle Morris
26/10/2020

Words are permanent, 
Speak them with forethought and care;
They can do so much damage, 
When uttered in anger or fear... 

They can be a blessing to those 
Located far and near, 
When spoken with conviction, 
Peace to promote and endear... 

They can free hearts and minds, 
Help humanity's soul soar, 
They can connect us to one another, 
Make friends of enemies, for sure...
