Stay focused Aussies..Don't be provoked

Stare

A moment to capture statute 
                      in statuesque interest provoked 
                     by stoke of rest in unrest of poke.

"Unlawful attacked
                               Provoked him to kill and rush
                                           Imprisonment reigned".

Curse or Shout

When Provoked 

Shut Your Mouth


Breathe In...

Breathe Out...

An Angry King

A lion roars
And there is fear;
He scatters hoards
With eyes so fierce.
Provoked by lords,
His wrath will pierce;
Scavenger soars
When fools are near.
Form: Rhyme


Provocation

A sleeping lion should not be provoked by a kitten, for, when he does, it is his lost, like tossing a gold in depth of fire in hunt for a brass.

Cake

My mom has made a yummy cake,
Scent of the cake, forcing me take;
Desire to taste filled my soul,
Aroma provoked my drool;
I woke sans cake, Just dream of fake.

It Started With the Clouds

The gray cloud provoked,
Sent a message to the ground,
Torrential rain falls.

Saturated fields,
Sanctify the earth’s tough skin,
Nourishing kingdoms.

Today My 'Echo'
Called Me:
Sugar-Plum!
Relatively Un-Provoked!

I Wasn't Sure She
Liked Me! Even....
 
It Felt Good!

Pervoked and Croaked By Trump

Provoked and Croaked

Elegant words from mouth of Trump evoked;
Even those complacent became provoked;
No denying;
He was spying,
And what we wish is that he had crooked.

When Our Ideas Collided

When Our Ideas Collided

Things can happen when ideas are collided,
And eventually we both had finally decided,
At odds were,
It did occur;
Became provoked ending up deeply divided.

Sandra

I once had a friend named Sandra
and in so many ways she was like a Panda
warm and cuddly in appearance seen
but if provoked, she really could be mean
so keep your distance and be warned by this stanza

My Self Worth

My
Freedom
Was taken
Not by someone
From within myself 
Relinquished by just me
Drowned by my own selfishness
Provoked by order for others
Lies told to myself to save others
Though, I protected my fears and self worth

Tiny Twinkles

I searched for stars 
on a cloudy night...
Absence of stars
provoked my pain...
umpteen firefly
amazed me with 
their tiny twinkles;
Telling me with 
their silent lights,
" I am not a star
but I can replace their lights".

Shape of Water Inspiration

The element moving, changing
continually rearranging 
Inspires me to stimulate,
awaken and invigorate.
Provoked by such a masterpiece
Artistry will never cease.
Evolving nature from all became
Paradoxically circling the same.
Form: Rhyme

Lust

Desire to acquire
Desire to control
Desire to Feel
& the need to Heal

Submissive senses
hormonal outburst
rushing of mind 
in a direction uncontrolled

a sort of vengeance
provoked by emotions
& suppression
a lively lesson
involving mind heart body
& passion

Better Than Ten Sons

Hannah was favored,
But Peninnah was fertile-
Both, wives of one man.

Peninnah provoked
Hannah til she cried to God
For an open womb.

Elkanah trembled
With Hannah, the wife he loved
After they worshiped.

God was exalted.
Peninnah's voice was silenced
By Hannah's promise.

Ocultus Destinee

OCULDESTINATE
The esoteric cabal
A sinister secret
To illuminate or to fall
Effuse the real or the counterfeit
To notice it at all
Illusory uncloaked
UNVEIL
DISSEMBLEVile concealment
Conspirators provoked
Imposters fail to ressemble
False pretense 	fall flagrant
Historical hoax
Macabre Jokes

Uncertainity

In the name of development and sustainability
and to substantiate our dominance
we have provoked so much 
chaos and uncertainty.

Now the situation is so vulnerable
 we are toiling hard to save
our people.

Hope! things will be normal shortly
We’ll enjoy life usually.

Take care, Stay blessed!

Son of the Raging Tiger

Warrior Poet…
Son of the raging
Tiger

Provoked
By the scent
Of anticipation

Roaming
In the abyss
Of all excuse

Preying
On all wasted time
And wasted lies

Stalking 
The foreign crevices
Of each denial

Devouring 
In the end
   —what you fear the most

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2014)

My will

I will not be subdued 
by either the
Inter or intra
Fears of this world

Those fears send from 
The external 
For clearly and 
With own eyes
Seen not internal

The internal are 
Natural in all 
Provoked by the external
To conform 

My will is to trust God 
Alone and Faith 
My pillar
To do just that.

Songs To the Ear

You wonder then wander to the thoughts placed down by pencil and pen.
Many writings can bring sorrow, spoken can harm.
Phrases collected, thought provoked.
Words of a poet bringing song's to the ear.
Misunderstood.
Crystal clear.
To be able to write what you feel, and feel what you write.
The greatest gift of all.

Premium Member The Olive Tree

Aged,gnarled rooted in him
Hardened in part,supporting the tree;
Fallen,but not cast off are you,
Broken in unbelief,provoked jealous
As wild boughs engrafted thereto;
Fallen,but not cast off are you.
Bitter yet productive,like fruit from the stone.
Natural branch shoots,no less able of grafting thereto;
Fallen ,but not cast off are you.

Praying Mantis

He's silent and still;
his hands raised,
his palms saluting
the blue sky.

Silently he walks,
resembling a shadow
without a master.

Every movement and vibration
is sensed by his skin and ears.

When provoked,
he gives a devastating blow
to his opponents.

His black belt colleagues
regard him as the Praying Mantis
of the Province.
