Living overtly upon a burning bridge, life stands captive within the vision of a
thousand. Clouded seduction, the epiphany of eradication looming among senses
overt.

Cunning Sam craved to catch caged canary,
feigned sly not to be overtly scary.
He sneaked with dinner in mind,
caught in cage, Sam starved confined.
The bird performed Houdini sorcery.
Where might thy be daylight savings? Sun of mine
Winter's last dying breath it's time to overtly shine
I say bring yourself out from that overcast shrine
Death to all snowmen to the street with their brine
Sea Hag at last got to Popeye
Spiked his spinach with Viagra (Oh my!)
Olive Oyl was overtly outraged and insulted
When a SCANDELOUS, sad affair soon after resulted...

Surely you can't be serious, I am and don't call me Shirley
Now that's bloody ridiculous, it's making me squirrely
What kind of talk is that
It's Airplane talk in fact
Remember that silly movie, such nonsense overtly
Roaring round roads raucously
Orally overtly offending operators
Acrid antagonistic adjectives aired
Defiantly daring distracted drivers
Ranting raving railing
Aggravate annoy atrocious
Gregarious gone Goebbels
Exacerbate engage enrage

College educated – all are not.
Outdoors they are – quite a lot.
Wintry weather slows them never,
Built they are for inclement weather.
Overtly driven by a style that’s unique,
Youngsters this lifestyle often seek!
SOS of unmeant needs
subliminal messages
overtly stated
meant to be
strictly adhered to
by all who saw the
emotional morse code
a continues distress single
set out for all to witness
but only those who possessed
the hearts secret decoder ring
could decipher the message
Opaque figure in mist
Observed as cryptic form
Overtly shrouded vague
Owned nearness lost, wanders
Onward to enigma
Obscurity fogs mind
Obsessed yearning fades out.

What are ploits and why do they have so many exs
Shouting claim overtly loud
Shall I ex……………………..pand
It’s plain
That Squelchy ex
Tend to give hugs
This one ex is cruciating
Clever when I am pert
Trod when I meant to Trude
Breathing with my exs sighs
Begone fish and old friend
Perfect act ex

Dreadfully driven to explain my side as true
Willfully wanting to show my point of view
Quite quickly I'd free, if only I could,
this thralling need to be understood

They interviewed the artist
inside her large blueprint mansion.
At one point, she criticized America
for being overtly materialistic.
Her painting studio was large enough to
house half a dozen desperados...
Instead, it harbored dozens of giant unsold paintings.
I was amazed by how bright a person could be completely blind to their own
devastating hypocrisy.
Shadows by Shane Cogan (2013)
Silently it lunged forward, then backwards
Hesitating, it reached out and touched its prey
Alarmed by its own reflection, it’s feet gave way
Downwards it began to fall, until it reached the darkness below
Overtly large, awkward and blinded, it searched around
Wasted, decayed, overgrown, it sensed its new surrounding
Shadows encircled the being; a final tour de force
Bound so tight with your silken love
tends to excite that wild beast within.
The dark of a crow and light of a dove.
This collaboration I’m eager to begin,
you leave me breathless and sweating.
I fall hard for that overtly masculine grin.
Your wet growl leaves me anticipating,
it echoes the tempo that haunts me.
Don’t say this is a game we’re playing.
Our version of forte hanky-panky,
you can’t cover this song acoustically.
Nay say I
the cart
will not
be put
before the horse
wisdom as old as time
I will therefore
not
tacitly
or
overtly
tip the nod
in “bro” fashion
in support
of your comments
about your wife’s cooking
not until
I have dined at her table
and tasted her cooking
which
I am sure
cannot be
as bad
as you say it is
I am absolutely positive
that a woman
with legs and a figure like hers
will cook like an angel.
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
Every year, it is getting ever more weird
Unlikely now that actual songs are judged
Risky costumes and acts are getting stranger
Overtly gender-neutral in displays of pride
Voting is always political, and predictable
It all started off being just about the music
Songs themselves now seem not to matter
I admit these days I do avoid that TV show
Ostentatious spectacle has become the norm
Now, it is not even just European countries
Soon, the instincts that kept us drawn,
Excitedly, will all be chased.
Xenophiles, that are of your case,
Uncover thoughts that have been spawned.
Aggressive measures, that are fawned,
Lead to times that we can not waste,
Issolating ourselves on base,
Zoning out until the next dawn.
As this preliminary play
Touches you in all the right spots,
Initiate love the right way,
Overtly taking the right shots.
Now, you are ready for the lay,
Sweating the words that got you hot.
The arcs of how you work
On the PC before the desk
Chords of the circles
You paint while you talk
Hilly sentences of poems
The tales of the muscles
Swing in crimson sunshine
The machine you handle
While the steel melts
They are your boyfriends
They flirt overtly
Baskets of flowers, laugh
Sun sits on marigolds
I see you walking
Doing your hair
Talking to the unruly breeze
Holding you tight
In the pink behind
Poems ring on telephone
My rhododendron of loneliness
The Falling Out
I find the ceiling fan
quite interesting – a whirling
meditation; -- blades
whiz! – air cooling unseen
yet felt
apparently
all affecting not overtly visible
how one’s heart reacts to currents
oblivious to detached others --
when we had our falling out
a great storm rocked worlds
no mention by the local meteorologist
nor cosmologist
seismologist
or an especial priest --
What’s one more or less, our universe~
to the greater emotional theme?
