  Persuade him with a stick
 
Show him the heavens and the stars

To influence or to persuade
      is not from opposition made

   Sit together at the table

Persuade by time
Intuitions run blind
Neon driven dreams
Dandelion sew seams
Recognize the breeze
Opal shaped moon
Pesuaded bloom

If your granddaughter lost both her arms,
Keep spirit her up, persuade her to be calm,
Tell funny joke, which cheer her up ,-
"Wash your both hands, and thoroughly scrub."...

The monster wanted love from the maiden
And gold that the townspeople paid him
When it came time to collect
Him the maiden did reject
To contain his wrath none could persuade him...

Better to slip through
than run over

Better to finesse
than to force

Better to persuade 
than to dictate

Discretion
—all meaning discoursed

Persuade To Have Beautiful Home Made

What we wanted to do was persuade,
To have beautiful home being made;
Not ignored,
And adored
In succulent shade near a pretty glade.

Perfume

O perfume
Persuade tanto quanto
palavras, 
aparências, emoções
ou vontade.

AH! Perfume,
cheire o seu perfume agora,
o poder dos cheiros,
leva ao querer 
fazer 
mais e mais....

  The Head of Spanish Geese
    couldn’t find a single Portu-geese

  Even the prettiest of ‘Pretty Pleases’
    Couldn’t persuade those geeses

Persuasiva

O mais puro poder no mundo 
é o sorriso sincero
e a transparência
que liberta as mentes e
persuade para sempre.

Se quer persuadir 
use palavras certas
e assim toda a gente 
sempre;
faz mais e mais....

Sweet lips smiling at mine. Blue, blue eyes beaming, Deeper than the sea. Falling far past the mortal into your love. Love pulling, tearing me away within to its hale hold. Making me ever so feeble, for you too persuade cloying tales....

During
The race you will 
Find obstacles that would
Persuade you to discontinue 
Before arriving the finishing line

Walk without hesitation in
The journey called life to
Strive the goals traced
By you

timeless
ageless
         yet immediate
nuanced
          but implicit
patterns
          permeate
inhibitions
            resonate
face to face:
echoes 
            elevate
persuade
            galvanise
dark moods
          to rage...

Her memory is short
She will forget the frightful anger that made her
Growl and snort

Her mood won't last
She'll forget I disobeyed her
Quite fast

The moon
Will persuade her
Soon

Her memory is short
She'll forget I disobeyed her
Soon...

To west lie when things I can't resist, 
Ye persuade me to look to the east,
Then haply let me feast
On what I should the least,
O mind thou art monkey, and health a beast.

When a leaf breaks free of it's attachment.
And begins the journey -
Is it's destination already known.
Even when winds or breath persuade and push -
Is it's final resting place a decision, itself made at the birth of it's being -
Or that of the wind, breath and laden earth...ALL...

Hand at heart,
     the hearth’s heat heard here.
Stand!
 - astound a still silk sound.
     persuade the fleshbell tell;
listen little;
listen well.


Glass glistens, cracks away
part 
and
 parcel
 more than before.
Clear clean space
Sweeps away.

Truth-seekers weep....

Trailing Arbutus



Whatever your persuasion
very likely there your heaven is.
Mine? A run of tiny stars
as pink as any rising dawn
in April’s eyes, whose scent 
confirms beyond contention
or dispute that heaven is as much 
down here as it is up there. 
Nothing will persuade me differently....

Those at my behest…
  know that limits persuade
  and words orphaned alone
  into emptiness hide
  with the snow passing on
  a new robin will sing
  each breath left forgotten
  until spoken aloud
  as memories fall from grace
    —in the silence unnamed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)...

Canvas in Creative Colors
Painter Paints to Persuade People;
Sends Surprises to Spectators'Sight,
and Wide-ranging Wonder World Wide;
Like Lighting the Love in one's Life,
Arts in it is an Asset from Above!













Note: I composed this poem because arts is my passion....

Sly snake what a rakish slither
belly walker cunning talker
Persuade the moon to buy the sky
Charging moonbeams by the hour


**I think this is the first one for me...trying my hand at silly poems for children.
Many thanks to all who take the time to read my works!!
**Thanks CL Thornton for the tips!!~~~...

Killing fields, a bitter pact is made.

This is vicious there is no way to

persuade. One of us does not want

to yield. Two warriors on the prowl,

one seeks vengeance with a determined

scowl. The other just wants to live,

leaving the past behind. But first he

must understand the other mans mind....

Other people’s nightmares and night terrors do not interest me
Or persuade, coax or encourage me to have my own.
I refuse to acknowledge their existence.
Others tell me cryptic tales, sharing morbid woes.
I slumber as peacefully as a newborn colt
Dreaming of the good life
A bobcat’s scream changes me forever...

Meetings are made
For people to gather information to persuade
As you sit on a chair and listen
Sometimes it may be just waiting for intermission 

And you wonder if it’s true
What you are hearing from the speaker too
So do you sit and hope for too
Death by PowerPoint before it’s through.
