Short Impetuously Poems

Instead of reasoning
I yield to a sudden
irresistible urge.
Impetuously, with
impunity I risk
injury. Am I an
idiot or hero?

They tease me, 
Vying for my attention
Behind the bakery display case. 

Voluptuous, some bursting with fruit, 
The brazen, the coquettish, 
They tease me.

Which to pick?
The Austrian strudel or Danish
Vying for my attention?

Impetuously taking her
In my car, from 
Behind the bakery display case....

To Find God

“Where can we find God?”
Impetuously, they ask.
—The dead can’t find God.

“How will we find God?”
They persist as if righteous.
—You won’t, God finds you.

“How high shall we climb?”
They at the bottom question.
—'Til you reach heaven.

Naively they rest
Believing God will rescue.
Satan stalks the flock....

One night, I stumbled impetuously in what seems like a market
Where gargoyles and gangrenes were sold in secret and hidden places
I watched the seller closely and a gelded man! I saw signs of
Pity,  I felt for him until he started hinting at shooting cupid's arrow at me
What an irony! I said to myself until I found out that I was lost in the market of gargoyles and gelded men!!!...

From tumultuous discussions within
images strive for life as a new-born 
child wriggles from the womb.First
an outline,then in silhouette,each 
unique line,a perceptible signature,so
individual and more personal than
a diary.This spontaneity impetuously
releases the extrovert upon this page,
squeezed out as rain in an arid world.
Artistic inspiration writes itself, as
I merely provide  the pen...

A heaving, grieving mass of humanity 
All afflicted with the same insanity 
To cross the bridge in Brooklyn Heights 
For one square foot they impetuously fight 
What has caused this hopeless plight? 

Love of money and dishonest gain 
Is the root of their discontented disdain 
These days, without further detection, 
Are the last of imperfection. 

(Written when NYC had a transit strike in 1979?)...

They pierce the unwelcoming night,
perserving eyes that receive nothing 
but an unwholesome darkness,
hot accelerated breath scorches the
freezing air, as it penetrates
in entirety her raffish body while a 
shivering anatomy provokes an age
of innocence, yet a stark awareness
of life’s tribulations, as she tucks in
her scarf, fastens her top button
before impetuously walking off into
the shadows to confront her next trick.

A beautiful creation -delighting eyes  for glittering  happiness, 
Impetuously  jives kindred’s  lifelong moments, 
nature’s omnipresent picturesqueness
quiet , resplendent smiles  to us
ventilation whirls,
eXhilarating,
yielding  
zing

Strolling,
We encounter
Fragrant dappled apples,
Low-hanging and creating an
Archway

Passing
Underneath trees,
Inhaling fruits’ sweetness,
Impetuously you give me
Kisses

Holding
One another
In afternoon’s sunlight,
Blissfully by murmuring wind 
Caressed

Sparrows
Serenade us
Until finally we
Are enveloped by autumnal 
Twilight

Echoes of their squalling,
finally interferes with my slumber.

Opening my eyes,
to see the pensive faces of the ladened.

And my ears,
to the ear-splitting shrill of the piteous.

Showing me their greatest fears,
Slowing becoming reality before their eyes.

I have seen for myself,
brothers smothering one another.

As a new era seeks recognition,
Iniquity impetuously taking its position.

Tardily becoming the order of the day.
 Shortly to be a disease we cannot contain....
