Short Predilection Poems

A strong predilection for your passion,
Graced in unison.
Vivacity is a bliss,
With incessant desires....

Lacking courage, I bravely climb on bough.
The bear with a honey stare -
sticky predilection.

Upon inspection of his life's ambition, he was troubled by a predilection,
Of having traveled on the right road, but in the wrong direction.

I get sins like lust and envy, but sloth?
Surely a “sin” cut from different cloth!
No evil harm results from indolence,
Just a predilection for somnolence.

Continue The Inspection

It was imperfect and we had a predilection,
That what it will need is another correction;
Was detected,
As directed,
And are required to continue the inspection.

Poems Were Perfect

Poems were perfect and had a predilection
They could be read from any direction
By them they were confounded
All of them were impounded
Readers never could find a connection.

I have a predilection 
      for the helping professions
      As well, for artistic self-expression

      I'll take my leave with this confession
      Other 'pursuits' are no more than repression
         ~ That lead inexorably to depression...

Movie popcorn Tim purchased to share
with his date, who did not seem to care
when she first felt, then SAW
him reach into her bra.
Then she laughed, “There’s no popcorn down there!”

Love was something I wanted,
Love was something I needed,
Love was something I thought you
would give me, but love is something
I'm living without for you was not 
the one to love me but the one
to hurt me.
So now I still want love and I still
need it, but now I also fear it....

The Master of Nuances
 
Supreme literary intensity
Rainer Maria Rilke—
Inspired as Orpheus sings
Predilection for Die Dinge
A mastery of true nuances
A thirst for poetic symbols
He sings now with Orpheus
And the angels in Heaven.

MODERN MIND

REVERENCE nor APATHY
causes human CONDEMNATION.
For surely it’s not empathy
generating CONSTERNATION.
Sneakily ENCOMPASSED is a mistress
with no CONSCIENCE
that makes violence a PREDILECTION
of our human thought SELECTION

Encompassed by his perfect love
I feel no consternation.
Unearthliness draws thoughts above,
Release from condemnation.
In reverence I gaze in awe
And apathy shall reign no more
For predilection favours adoration.

I swallow the concoction
my heart seemed quickly soothed
a little truth mixed with the lies
made it taste so smooth

ambrosia to my tongue
with bibulous afterglow
predilection quickly sets in
blurring all that I know

waves of nausea crashing
like the flow of the Black Sea
what echos in this chamber
may never set me free...

SPIRITUAL LOVE 


There is now no condemnation, 

We are encompassed by His love, 

No need for dire consternation, 

Hold Him in reverence above, 

His unearthliness, my reason,

For apathy, there's no season,

It's predilection for His dove.

ENCOMPASSED by shadows...of the trees 
In my mind...CONSTERNATION awakens me 
My PREDILECTION... of a midnights breeze 
APATHY invades...let's me be 
The moon is full...my REVERENCE shows 
An EARTHLINESS feeling...when it glows 
A cloudy CONDEMNATION...blowing free

The ease with which we catch a cold,
Or hold, or up, or ball;
A numbers game in nature that,
Bar none, affects us all.

Gravity and friction
Games that everyone can play.
No need for predilection,
Don’t let rules get in the way.

Sit back and close your eyes
As Mama Nature calls the roll,
And contemplate the searing
Mathematics of the Soul....

Grandma sat in her rocker braiding her hair
Reciting Bible verses she had learned
I remember well the squeaking of the chair
Her words to me, I so resoundingly spurned.
She said, “You, son, you our minister will be,
Do not laugh, boy, for you will most surely see.”
True to her form the declaration came true 
In spite of how much I wanted it not to.

His crime encompassed hate and consternation

So her vengeance screamed for all BUT apathy

And should reprisal bring her condemnation

Then she was fine, embracing what would be

A reverence deep within was all that mattered

Not how his predilection found her battered

Unearthliness, untouched ... had kept her free....

Her love was amazing—it encompassed all;
Unconditional—never filled with condemnation,
Despite my predilection toward unmitigated gall,
And unrelenting juvenile reverence for flirtation.
The years did lapse, all consternation lost;
All apathy, on my part, long since tossed,
Replaced by unearthliness, for life’s remaining duration.

The glide of the plane almost in step with my rooftop.
Visibility of blue heaven low; lookout for earthwalkers.
My bland Toyota euphoric and banded by tight forest.
The span of an angelic chorus, a serendipitous psalm.
The predilection of dawn, a tributary hawk sails on.
The silver cross shimmies and shakes reflected in mirror.
I steady it with my heartbeat, my smile, my faith.

Listen to these words to the heart ENCOMPASSED,
The song I sing for you shall bequeath love and joy;
You CONSTERNATION to love shall be surpassed,
My PREDILECTION of ardour for you thoroughly show.
It will enhance a REVERENCE against the sameness of APATHY,
In loving you tenderly there’ll be no CONDEMNATION in reality;
To be considered UNEARTHLINESS love would be coy.

Once a soldier of peace, in Condemnation of war
Full of Consternation for carnivorous divide
But good is not static when Apathy slips too far
For Reverence of calling, within scruples confide
His uncut hands offered to Unearthliness unseen
Innate Predilection to cleanse the monsters unclean
He Encompassed bravery lost so often to pride.

Slim elegance, pencil-sharp,
dark business skirt,
pure contrasts
where the black cuts
a clear white neckline.

Stretchy pants, 
wide at the beam,
rumpled fore and rear,
a clear predilection 
for sweats.

The two women
enter by the same door,
both will leave
by the same door,
never noting each other.

The fuzzy store-greeter,
stacks baskets,
none of which
will have a self-image
until filled....

To walk on water was his conviction

Enjoyed the surf with great predilection

But the sea was too rough

And he called off the bluff

So The Lord delayed his wet addiction


When the ocean had sufficiently calmed

Jesus abandoned his hesitant qualm

But the sea intervened

Moses altered the scene

Two for one price and he went for Islam
