In Time

Reason has no rhyme.
Poetic justice, no point
But they will in time.

The Justice we find in rhyme
Escapes with passage of time.
But worry not, friend,
It will never end
As long as there exists crime!...

We went to Tegia to capture slaves
And we took some fetters with us.
But in the end, we Spartans were enslaved,
And they fixed our fetters on us.

I thought I'd have a scar,
a line of smooth, pink skin
to rub like a worry stone.
But now I see the scar is yours.
It's my hand print
burned into your skin....

She reported everyone for everything
She called IRS, medical boards and more
On Tuesday she got a ring-a-ding-ding
A misinformed SWAT team broke down her door...

A pickpocket named Dodger
lived to become an old codger,
alas a walking stick and heaps of pain
his getaway speed sadly on the wane.

I am ashamed
Truly I am.
For poetry is art and not a sword
I take my leave
No face for you to slap
Spit on my verse
For my verse is my heart
The blood that flows is my own
A tout le monde
Apologies....

In winters cold I found you
Lost too long to warmer times
Silence and solitude thoughts reflect
In frosted panes you appear fractured
Lines running deep, pane to pain
Written in crystal clear poetic justice

POETIC JUSTICE

There was an old man from Fontaine
Who walked with aid of a cane
One night he was mugged
By a wannabe thug
In the graveyard, the thug was lain

Spider deftly climbs on by,
Quickly moves on toward the fly.
Ugly, arrogant arach,
In he steals for the attack.
Silently devours his prey,
Hungry still, he moves away.
Enter bored and grumpy cat:
Death to spider, whack and splat!...

Poetry is my therapy 
it makes me more aware of me 
ignored, confused and left lost in life 
all makes sense when I choose to write 

Words I spoke always ignored 
mockery I then endured 
never comfort or reassured 
poetic justice my reward...

Poetic Justice, Tupac Shakur, let the man peacefully rest, bullets hitting his chest.
Poetic Justice, we need Justice for the people, Justice for the country, freedom from Corona lethal. Protesters scream Poetic Justice, Poetic Justice, Justice for the people!...

Floating endless thy river of love where rainbow bouquets waft endless scents of evermore

Drifting onward a promise endures of
soft silken words
and lavender dream

For this I say of poetic justice
my guilt overfloweth of love to thee

Of course I would never consider your harm a
Deliciously fitting comeuppance of karma;
I only confess that I might have enjoyed a
Judicious, wee smidgen of slight schadenfreude.

I landed in Poet's Court
Caught me speeding in my Sonnet
They judged it a rhyme crime
According to the officer's pentometer
I was doing 50 in a 25 word zone
I'm pleading for comma relief
Hoping to be released to free verse
Under supervision of course
Fortunately there's no sentencing in poetry
Maybe they'll just revoke my poetic license...

Words hold so much mystery and power and bleed the heart out 

Healing powers of writing down my thoughts are what I try to do. 

My mind is lost and so is my soul 

Poetic justice 

In love I am 
Heart of a fool 
But to love 
so sweet the warmth 
Of exposing your true heart
Excitement of the slightest touch from skin on skin
To love...

By Dr Jose Manimala PhD


Doctor, behold, embolden spirit cheer ye,
C M may sharpen yore bloody dagger,
To pierce your brave – heart,
Lo, the fallen mighty, dreams to dust,
Bawd Swapna swoon double - heart, 
Golden dreams took wings forever,
Na, crook ain’t  my king, no more,
Where chatte queens reign!
Derriere queen is no bloom.
But a sucking vortex!...

I.
Under the ice
   Life bleeds;
as it cuts its way
   through to the warmth above...
                                                       II.

Spring makes me
   breathe deeply;
It's the scent of 
   existence anew!
                                                       III.

I go
  "Amus-ing"
In search of
   Poetic Justice;
Did I just
   pass you by?...

In days of olde
Lords spoke French to their king,
In church,in Latin would sing-
Poets,changing this mould,
Their verses,in English did bring.

Note.Poetry & literature in the 1300's helped to coalesce English into a native,nationwide 
language by rejecting both the secular religious power of the 'colonial' French of the Court 
and 'imported' Latin of the state Chuch...

Busted! 

Smile.
You're caught 
on camera
yet again!
Why? 
Why in the world
would you rob
a convenience store
at gunpoint,
only to return 
to that same store
a few hours later
without a ski-mask 
this time
still wearing 
the exact same clothes
simply to buy 
a pack of cigarettes
with the money 
you stole?
C'mon!
Really? 
Are you for real? 
Poetic Justice.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
but mostly fools, like angels, join the dead.
But every now and then, a sudden quirk of fate
reflects back to its source the origins of hate.

So is it fate or fortune that guides a ‘helping hand’
or just 'poetic justice’ that none can understand.
They say with some conviction, 'pen is mightier than sword',
but a fist is also mighty and can seldom be ignored!
