Short Leanings Poems

Using words with hidden meanings
is for those with intellectual leanings
Poems that are complicated
are strictly over-rated
Give me a poem with simple gleanings.

Cultish leanings..

There is attachment to

The mysteries of life

Embodied..seemingly in

A pedestaled attraction..

Add beliefs of import and

Shadowed conspiracies..

A religion start-up..?

All dismantled by inquiry

Into the Self we are......

The Smith's marriage is no longer viable
Their political leanings are irreconcilable
She raves: Trump I dismiss!
He rants: Biden-kiss this!
Yet their love of country remains undeniable

Grace loves not timid
When coming from hard sections
Living alongside peaceful
Arguments, timid
The world view keeps the water
Down to heartfelt realms under
Below the timid
Prospective leanings project
Grown aspects of love implied
Timidly, alone
She doesn’t know the real truth
Like the wind, harbors the hope

Simple words
  and deeper meanings

Softer thoughts
  and harder leanings

Letters line up
  straight and true

But often they bring
  something new

Simple words
  and deeper meanings

Icebergs melt,
  the flow still gleaming

Say it once,
  and say it plain

Your heart will roar
 —your soul to gain

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)...

Words can have so many meanings
It pays to carefully choose what you say,
Lack of phrasing can reveal your leanings
Ill-chosen words will often make you pay.
Politicians quickly learn how to double-talk
Meaning exactly what they did not say,
Like a sidewalk drawing with colored chalk
Knowing a weepy denial will wash it away.
