Putting effort to good sense
It escapes my pen...

Mr. Mike Pence
has the good sense
  to stay out of harm's way

a sharp two-edge blade
cuts too quick for pound of flesh-
sly parry of wit
leaves assailant floundering
for razor sharp comeback slice...

Learning
Conscience
Increase 
Good sense
I let all my learning be conscience
Literacy increase my good sense

  No one could know all of who I am
or even make good sense of what I have become.
I suppose love is finding someone willing to try......

                                  Soul is a mirror

                                God is inside him...

A Gentle Reproof

For want of good sense and probity
It seemed logical for me to offend him
But upon closer examination, the need never 
Arose, for his sin was no greater than mine...

In highschool the class clown's name was Seth 

Made some laugh and bored others to death 

It wasn't a rumor 

His good sense of humor 

Couldn't hide a slight case of bad breath...

through prism of wisdom                  
                                              with inner non glassy lens

Quatrain #832:
PACT


Prize that stern pact where good sense steers,
Ask for fine tact to live fond cheer;
Choice strokes the act where zest firms best,
Touch knows how fact can firm poise here.

J-oyful conscience is also clear, 
O-nce the blemishes disappear, 
L-ife on earth is truly well-lived, 
I-n the eyes of God it does believe, 
N-ice heart and mind are in good sense, 
A-ccording to joyful conscience.

Humor plays a special role
In this world of woe.
Laughter's serum for the soul,
As all fun lovers know.
Robust guffaws brighten days.
Insides shake, and hot tears flow.
Think of all the many ways
You could cheer those feeling low.

Feel the wise talk,
Indulge good sense;
Now how you walk,
Etch simple tense.
Ply your best verse;
Heed curl and swirl;
Inch and observe,
Love this strange world;
Open your heart,
See how you feel;
Offer fine art,
Play helps you heal;
Heart knows sure mind;
You come to find.

Standing there
Arms outstretched
The haggard pasty washed up
Kewpie doll
Of a soon to be ex
Awaited his oxytocin fix

As the dutiful wench
Swallowed the stench
Of his distillery fermented fat
She thought 

This puts the retch in wretched

And that was that
A good sense of humour
Is only embraced so far

HAIKU PASSAGE 2


Touch describes
Beyond good sense;
Sure feelings speak

~~~~~~~~~


Be here now:
Mindfulness greets 
Haiku in-transit

~~~~~~~~~


To go somewhere
Be now here;
Or nowhere near!

~~~~~~~~~


Be as no-thing
Be mindful --
All is empty

Something old, something blue,
Aged not old, a odd pairing, 
which unfits the mold.
Taste acquiring, 
pungent smell, 
putrid looks, 
uninspiring.
It is the dare that begs one to love it.
One good sense of five ain't too bad,
When you hold your nose, 
close your eyes
and taste it, 
breathlessly,
senselessly,
there's the rub....

Perilously dangling, 
One toe over the edge
Dizzily drawn to hover at the brink
Eyes closed and arms stretched out 
Into thin air
I know that I am going to fall, yet I resist
Trappings of stability wrap tendrils around my waist
But they are frail and will not hold…
Leaning forward, against good sense, but unable to reason
I fall....

Beauty knows best
Joy's lovely fest


Look to good sense
To flavour tense


Live your best mind
Act in sure kind


Be a soul grand
Love works bold span


Live wise galore
With bliss that shores


Walk with sure ease
That lovely peace


Waltz in good time
Warm poignant chimes

A-nother night is serene, 
N-othing is heard but silence; 
G-oing to bed may be later, 
E-ach tick is in good sense.
L-et the voice of the night echo in the deepest mind; 
A-llow it to make better even the moment most unkind.

D-ay twenty-eighth October
I-s starting to burn the light; 
Z-enith has heard the sound
O-f silence of the
N-ight....

only girl stranger
to her dad and her step mom
history strikes again

drawn to ones treating
us like we might have good sense
no matter the risk

rebellion is stealth
comes in oh so many forms
stuck under that thumb

that iron thumb stifles
'til anything looks better  
do the best we can

hard to understand
prolly just a big package
she'll get bored of this...

FRAGMENTS 10


As if each verse makes good sense
This tacit bluff and sly masquerade 
Embalms even lifeless still life
Beyond canvas or poignant picture
As a living mantra chant echoes
Or else implodes in eternity
Beyond the shifting echoes
That rise and fall and rise again
In these enchanted sand dunes

Somewhere
A child sits hungry and dying


Everywhere
People are wasting food


Sometimes
People are generous


Most times
They are not


Here-say
is just that


They say
That time heals


Sanity
Doesn’t always reign


Vanity
Rules the world


Innocence
isn’t stupidity


Guilt
Lords over good sense


Hate
Is a dirty word


Love
is a miracle...

Drawing up a map
It needs a good navigater
Drawing up a budget
It needs figures   systematically
Rolling my eyes in disbelief

The love you have been given
Should be received
Yet it would be nurtured
And will be utilised
Honouring the respect given

Drawing up a marriage proposal
It needs creativity
Drawing up a guest list
It needs a good sense of humour
I rest my case...
