~     What IS a fool ...


                    But the best of a woman,


          And the worst of a man?     ~


The Gist

He whose life for the time being 
Is horrendously unyielding 
Shall be found tilting at every windmill ..

The dimwitted Jonathan Twist Had much trouble getting the gist He faltered in bed, Confused in his head She gave him a slap on the wrist.

Not much to say
No need to play


Pray on the way
To flood this day


Words have a way
To string fine say 


All in good time
Touch circles rhymes

Listen to poem:
Lurking in the murky mist
a glimmer lies peripheral.
Invisible to the blaze 
of stare-eyed gaze, 
uncertainty is determinant.

The gist is missed
until you look away, 
disengage, and let
the quagmire ooze 
belch its quintessence.

GIST


Glimpse in the light the touch of peace,
Ink words of sight that mellows ease;
Sense the calm flight of lovely grace,
Touch love most bright in happy lease.

Give love your best with all your heart,
Indulge soul zest as you craft art;
Sense a wise fest in path you take,
Thrill in your quest with end and start.

Glimpse in a smile a boundless glow,
Intuit clear style in joy that glows;
Stretch then each mile with finesse grand,
Touch truth worthwhile in easy flow.

Insight brings sight in poignant know;
Sublime soul flight brings wholesome feel,
Thrill fond delight with gist that shows.

Glimpse in the dark a flash of light,
Impulse finds spark that floods sure sight;
See how truth marks the journey path,
Touch old tree bark that flames dream flight.

Glimpses of grace come to bring light,
Insight greets space in touch most bright;
Sense succinct trace of love that breathes,
Touch holds the ace that feels so right.

The Gist of Verse

What is the poetry so many write?
Hearts, souls, their passion…

The essence of feelings, 
With rhythm and changing, 
Pacing and flowing so smoothly…

The writing for souls and everyone’s being,
Inside and out without anyone seeing…

The people rewriting feelings and gist
In poetry,
Hearts, souls, their passion…

Gist of Life

More knowledge would have been fun
I was an idiot not to take the plunge
should have focused on versatility instead;
But was too busy enjoying the safe ride.

What’s the point of only getting to end point
if you are not going to enjoy the ride,
destiny should not be the target; but
experiences should be the ultimate take away..
