Results in laughter

Of all of
Refined arguments
And questions...

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!

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.

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.

Truth thrives in contradiction
the difference sharply honed
A neither nor redemption
as zero-sum is known

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
—one is all you’ll get

Squeezing out a different meaning,
with each new moment passed
The choices honed, all time dethroned
—no instant first or last

Specks of honed firelight
Grinding out the light of times
Flies run in the dark
Lighting up the night spaces
Bringing harmony to night

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!

Solid words liquefied;
Bound and told horrified;
Ancient own;
Dooley honed ;
I am that child

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.

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

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

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!

A jaunting daunt

Reducing a book
down to one chapter
Reducing that chapter
to a paragraph honed
Reducing that paragraph
to one lasting sentence
Reducing that sentence
to a word
— truth atoned

He hath made
The point quite
Sincere never trade
Your pointless trite
Round former great
Whose sharpened plight
Remains unchanged fate
Indispensable when betrayed
Honed deeply serrate

Blank verse
Trimming fat
off his soul
he searched
for the bone
With every
new slicing
his consciousness
honed
All waste in
the fire
to sizzle
and fry
Excesses
like smoke
rise forgotten
— incised

Love in Friendship
Don’t neglect a friend,
Especially in times of difficulty
Friendship is the foundation of real love;
Giving advices and confront each other-hold the hearts together.
A love honed through friendship lasts for a lifetime!
