survival’s quandary

A lass with a penchant to please
Spends much of the time on her knees
But, son of a gun,
She finds it grand fun
To see a lad shooting the breeze...

In acetous longing
Penchant and efflorescent
Enumerating metallurgy
Feather, dust and stone
Apart and in essence same
Can in such majesty exist?...

A lawyer who sought approbation
Had a penchant towards litigation
He would argue his case
With a smile on his face
Then win in his final summation...

Michael Jordan, number twenty-three
Greatest of all time, that ever be?
  He and his Bulls were sure 'a-rambling'
  Till he ran afoul of his penchant for gambling...

Man of Belize

While speaking to a Man of Belize,
He admitted a penchant for Blue Cheese.
I said no its smelly,
It upsets my belly,
Don’t offer me Blue, if you please....

Salute a summer welcome  
Penchant for sunshine

Ready To Hear Mueller Review

Hearing Mueller review this is reminiscent,
Being big play boy presume with penchant;
Walks slow;
Laurels low,
And not only that he has been inefficient.

Have a penchant for the old foot-in-mouth disease
Been afflicted since us guys came down from the trees
Never learned I guess
It causes much stress
Trying to make amends with words to appease...

I asked you baby, 
do you
 have any screws loose?
You cocked your head,
 and answered
 with a yes.
And I replied,
with a penchant smile,
after all 
you've been through,
I'd have...... some
 screws loose too....

Two hearts written
In sandy shores
Is passed and short.

No wonder hap
Romantic do
Seek joy short live.

Live not penchant
Dream love that paint
In sandy shore.

True love is etched
Inside the heart
Forever lived....

rebel dancer model with a dulcet voice
and penchant for theatrics
Brigitte took Paris by storm
the bombshell exuded more than beauty
she was a force to be reckoned with

I purposely avoid
   all words to impress

No ‘genre’ or ‘penchant’
   ‘couture’ or ‘egress’ 

The meaning embodies
   what each letter foretells

To be spoken forever
  —beyond heaven or hell

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire
Written: by Tom Wright

Limerick

I once knew a man with a penchant to wangle,
Every story he told was from a left field angle.
Always with a slight grin,
He’d just apply more spin,
The yarns he would spin I could never untangle.

Trump says that the best way to spoil it
Is flush tax returns down the toilet*
But the IRS said
You'll be deep in the red
Fish 'em out and make sure you boil it! 

*  Trump's White House staff report
that Trump had a penchant for
tearing, flushing - and retrieving -
documents from the toilet ...

Did See Determination Poems

Many of my great poems I often mention;
Am determined to get  Trump's attention;
Has  apoplexy;
Thinks is sexy;
In ranks created and did cause dissention.

Was determined to be determined and
continually be determined to have a
penchant to get Trump's attention.

I’m Geared Fast
3/15/2016

Some folks have a penchant for detail,
And use three thousand words in relating to me a story
That I know the ending to after the first one hundred;
That leaves me biting my tongue while thinking, 
Just the facts, skip the embellishment before I
Scream!!!!!

A PhD in emotion and feel,
licentiate of what lives within

Professor of imagery, doctor of will,
a Saint with a penchant for sin

Explorer of evil with devils to hunt,
the fire burns liquid and hot

Degrees of atonement, diplomas unread
—graduate of words future bought

Day in Day out the dust consumes the air
Upstairs it runs rampant through the fan I must declare
Sneezing is the penchant of the day
The dust always settles while we are away
It never comes to mind that it should be dusted
Not even the service can be trusted, as they
Gallivant through their duties, one day to be busted...

Chill shadow fall covering gray 
Spark ember glow in the distance
Field reverberate muffled bray

Soft cool silk silent ambience

Earthward lonesome darken path lay
Veil on penchant earth's fluorescence 
Two romantical waltz their way
Full laughter and lost innocence
Whereas a billion stars astray

Soft cool silk silent ambience

Life,
is not fair
or maybe it's
death

Deprivation
from ones we love
sorrow is it's
present

Sickness
in our minds
our bodies not in good
health

Bothersome
are the days
but the memories serve us 
pleasant

Unsafe
thoughts cross the brain
by knowing you those thoughts are 
Stealth

Conviction
painful with you gone
remembrance is the
penchant...

Passion is an intensely compelling feeling of enlightenment
amidst ravaging ravens tearing your flesh to shreds,
It’s an unrelenting yearning for something or someone
like carrying the cross up to the Calvary
with an intense penchant for pain arousing pleasure
leading a mortal soul toward resurrection for eternity.
