the art of argument
piloting nimble persuasion
across complicit anarchy
stoic facts and sly lies
sparring in dueling sentences

Marc Antony's funeral oration
Masterpiece of shrewd persuasion
Igniting sundry Romans' fierce desire
To douse 'noble Brutus' life with fire
A dressing-down's full of hauteur
Persuasion comes not easily
Instead of rebuke, employ kinder reproof
a velvet hammer, wield congenially
The rivers of our persuasion
empty
into an ocean of solitude
Leading the swift current
over the rapid shoals
— to greater and greater depths
(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)
Idea concrete
Encased in platinum
Obsidian
No persuasion
Enters in
Or can enter out
Once decided
Resolutely unchangeable
I know this man
Idea concrete
Inaccessible
Opened never
steel blue persuasion
singing blissfully along
the shoreline- torn with
rocks, cracks in the
earth.
gliding through
rough terrain within
graceful stars
lighting each. bold.

Calm Down Any Situation
Ari surely can calm down any situation;
He has done it without any hesitation;
Constantly consistent,
And he is persistent;
Definitely born with power of persuasion.
James Horn
At first she played hard to get
But later she acquiesced
Caressed by his gentle persuasion
Delicately kissing his lips
Each heartbeat brought them closer together
Finally they fell into the waiting arms of love
I have no objections
To the word insurrection
But an insurrection is not a war
My complaint about this connection
It is something I abhor
It is an Invasion
Without persuasion
That this country was not looking for.
Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house
The smell of Jack Daniels has people quite soused
Drink and seduce Mary
Or Elizabeth or Harry
Whatever you persuasion, time to act like a louse
A horse of a different colour, could be pink
Lovers of the species would object don't you think
Unless of that persuasion
Seeing them enjoy the invasion
Meeting at the water hole for a drink, wink wink!
Insecurity..
An agent of persuasion
For a separate one..
All storyland
Of course..
Insecurity names a
Condition which seems
To apply to a character
Who reacts..and
It might be a best-seller!
Bought
comfort
in a brand
of green flip-flops
from this blond cashier
who wore pure thoughtlessness
as his new philosophy
while imposing absurd notions
on the youthful minds of persuasion
that inner beauty is overrated
Spontaneous attraction, magnetic in power-
With a gentle persuasion that daily makes one smile;
Easygoing spirit that alleviates pain
Convincing all who encounter it of their self-worth and what there is in life to gain.
Once more
I hear those tales
Uttered with potent persuasion
In the quest for self-preservation
Half-truths and half lies
Lots of lows but yet no highs
I don’t know who to believe
I have my vote to give
Who is gonna receive?
What is the sound that makes me lean closer?
Hearing your voice, low and sweet
I just have to smile.
So pleasing is the sound
Persuasion slides into your tone
Endearing you to me further
Relenting, I will agree to whatever you want.
fragmentation
the seeming separation
of it all
and descriptions
reinforcing separation
make appearances
of unquestionable
persuasion seemingly
until there arises
a resonant assertion
of the nothingness
of it all
"The light of the world.”
Those who carry out the Great Commission
Are 'oft mistaken in their hopeful persuasion
That truth once spoken will ignite faith outright.
Yet, ‘tis the unlit candle must come to the light.

Friendly invasion of bliss mists
Enlivens feeble form
Let go hermit, of to-do lists
Surrender to the storm
Feel, feel, how bliss beats rise
Taking heart by surprise
Soul reborn, ego dies
Loving persuasion
Friendly invasion
Soft, warm, and sweet, pleasing to the eye and touch!
All the physical things that this man needs and desires..,
It seems cruel that by divine order a man is limited
to only one..,
When one is in need of inspiration:
timeless words are the teachers of wisdom,
no struggle is insignificant and without persuasion;
if the greatest minds sapiently spoke and refused to be a victim,
absorb the essence of their bravery that disarmed a vicious fanthom.
It’s you I like…
Not your lifestyle
Not your sexual preference
Not your political persuasion
Not your skin color
Not your nationality
Not your choice of religion
Not your lineage
Not your wealth or poverty
—it’s you I like
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)
Is morality an end point,
or a journey to begin
Are right and wrong just bookends placed,
or what then lies within
All Ethical persuasion,
to attain or just desire
Whose end result will never come
—enflamed without the fire
(Haverford Pennsylvania: July, 2019)
smashing great performance
flying cats
exuberance and energy
villain sparkles in a silent mirror
artistic persuasion relishes
gray tone magic
blurry waves of conciseness
partnership precarious as
shadow man escapes
waking not a wink
snoring deeply
heart beats faster
When you feign sincerity
to beef up your power
of persuasion,
for a while you'll seem
to succeed without the least
hesitation.
But in time your words
will be a lousy power point
presentation,
all power and presentation
of your notion without a point
of illumination.
