with this pen honed by your hands

The First Poem
God is
a finely honed machine
You are born 
just to be replaced
Your smile
will smile once more
But on someone else's face...

Mom’s words cut like a knife, honed razor sharp
Which shattered my new wife
Mom now, after years of strife
Says I married up in life!

Whispered Knowledge
Knowledge whispered in hushed tones,
he listened in silence and concentration all honed,
he now whispers to others-who may or may not listen the drone....

Premium Member What Doesn't Kill You
The vicissitudes in life I've faced
Have neither dulled me
Nor defined me.
I rather like to think, instead,
That they have honed me
And refined me.

Neither Nor
Truth thrives in contradiction
  the difference sharply honed

A neither nor redemption

Chest Thumping
May you be honed 
and strengthened 
by the humiliation
of occasional defeat.

Yet, in triumph,
may you shun urges
of chest-thumping
arrogance and conceit!...

To pierce today’s attention span,
fewer words are best

A point honed sharp for one deep thrust

Renewed
Squeezing out a different meaning,
with each new moment passed

The choices honed, all time dethroned
—no instant first or last

Premium Member A Cold Winter
The winter has honed its attack.
“I'm freezing!” my butt shrieks alack,
as up climb the freezes
from toes passed the knees-es.
It's so cold my foreskin grew back!

A combination of Haiku and Kyoka

designer originals
from feed sacks
after the chickens were fed

her artist's touch
honed with the aid
of her foot movement
on the treadle machine...

When the morning lark has honed its  silver chirp,
a dream-like canvass floats into a higher octave,
setting passages alight with sun filled prospect as eternity dissolves its outer limbs....

Premium Member On Edge
Listen to poem:
Swords have two sharp edges.
Knives have two, one is sharp,
the other blunt, till honed.
Cliffs like blades are 
one-edged glades, stoned.
But on edge, on a ledge
and stoned,
it's one-sided....

here we are
moving up and down
between polarities
in the play of life
until soul is honed
that resistance ebbs 
then boundaries blur
and our vaporised self
is finally free

Premium Member Thought of the day
do we secretly hope
for a benign flame to rise
ushering bliss in each pore
imbibed by us in surprise

if this be our desire
have we honed our intent
to invoke God’s grace
by granting love consent...

Cap'N Crunch, Cereal Filler
When I was single and living alone
Cereal curbed my tummy’s moans
Eating Cap'n Crunch
Breakfast, dinner, and lunch
Was a cooking hookey I honed!
