In measures of heart
we choose our fragility 
in fortresses of loving
by practical arrangements

making folks look foolish he wasn't shy.
But one vengeful night

        It cripples my heart with disgust

Instead, I want something more practical

Contrary to today's psychology
  Enk Shuss majored in Anthropology

Pseudo-Expressionless

      of ragged diamonds
  a fugazi sans brilliance,
  shiner midst vague skies 
           in the optical jags of
       practical indifference

A Prankster

I knew a prankster, a mean-hearted bloke
Who liked to play wicked practical jokes
   He'd empty your locker
   And wouldn't restock her
Then try to sell you an expensive cloak

A Practical Tip for Brain Health

         A mind craves stimulation
           especially as it ages

         Without a kick in the head
           (once in a while)
         The indoor plumbing may shut down

practical problematic prancing pecan pralines
producing pennywise putrid party planners
predicting positive pristine professional prunes
procrastinating, politely puffing popsicle pros

Practical Jack

Writing limericks was Jack's strongest suit
He won all the contests, worth zero loot
   He struck out with the gals
   Couldn't even make pals
So Jack got practical ~ took up the flute

Virtuous Virgoans

Virgoans are virtuous… pretty practical.
Relentless, respectful, real… radical;
Neat, nifty and noble,
Friendly, firm… flexible,
Ambitious, alluring… analytical.
 

I am a Virgoan.....  Virgo

The Devil Revealed

The greatest practical joke,
that the devil played on all the simple folk,
was to convince them that he didn't exist,
but you haven't convinced all Mr Bilderberg.
I and others are spreading the word.

Senryu

Senryu 

A poet adores love
Not the practical one
Dinner at five 

The moment caught
A memory to remember 
A face in the crowd 

The killer of love 
Is the despair of loneliness
turned into disgust

Excursions

Excursions

Seemingly

Away from 

What is happening..

A delving into 

Stories of rank

Separation..

The practical pull

It is said..but these

Stories lying already

In this happening..

Pittance For Trump's Remittance

Mere Pittance for Trump's Remittance

Always knew would be  mere pittance,
We did receive for Trump's remittance,
And never practical;
Went on sabbatical;
Used poor vocabulary in each sentence.

Teaching Chimps To Speak a Few Words

Teach them just enough words to know
a pickaxe from a pencil…. just a few practical words
for practical applications, not too many,

otherwise they might turn into poets,
and god-knows we don’t need any more of that.

Finding Peace

Positivity presents polite poses,
Parties pave productive pathways,
Problems pass, pain pauses,
Practical perspective proves purposeful.
People practice perseverance,
Population produces powerful partnerships,
Peace prevails.

Trump Prefers Radical Over Practical

Trump Prefers Radical Over Practical

He thinks  poorly of people who are practical,
And Trump prefers those being really radical;
A true confession,
Liar is profession;
Should see in Mira Lago on weekly sabbatical.
