Short Prudently Poems

Enjoy God's 
                     Gift of Youth,
               and prudently
                     prepare for
                the "not"
                     of it!...

You said you would go the distance
I never anticipated it to end so abruptly
I could sense your absence
executed, so artfully 
I have to move on and I am doing it prudently...

Fulfill roles unto the Lord

Mightily by His power

Heartily* with His joy’s peace

Prudently thru His wisdom

Faithfully for His honour!

*Colossians 3:23 “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord…”

Where will have gone      
those kisses      
that we knew to give?      
      
Where will be now      
those that prudently      
we should keep?      
      
Silent, ardent,      
lingering kisses;  
we have given them life,      
but they never will die!...

Ageing,
like good sex,
good faith,
good humor,
and/or good politics,
seems to be a focused process

Of becoming less judgmentally rejected
for the traumatized company I keep

And more happily appreciated
for surviving
the predative
and privileged potential companions
I have prudently rejected....

amid the dizzying busyness of business
        neither should one live in panicky hurry,
           cramming weeks into hours, years into months,

     nor should one be slothful and sluggish,
        rather be prudently quick to decide and act,
           and then so leisurely slow to savor and enjoy!...

Listen to poem:

Precariously poised on 
the precipitous precipice,
I pondered whether a nose-dive plummet
into the whirlpool lagoon below
was prudent, well-advised and provident.
But the angry impassive persona,
of the ever so cross porpoises,
seen purposefully prancing there
gawking up at me,
persuaded me to prudently, 
postpone the plunge....

Labor Day 2003
Written: by Tom Wright
9/1/03

Through a lovely Scotch mist morning,
my thoughts spake again to me.
Saying, make of this day what you will,
but in it, be all that you can be.

Enjoy your rose in It's unique beauty,
but of It's piercing thorns beware.
This day shall pass your way but once,
so use it prudently, and with care.

The devil is in hearts of the many too afraid to be themselves 
That are first to face the tune of day's clock 
With wickedness thrained their dereliction can't stop
They're prudently persistent about the way you do things 
Having absolutely no concept of love or compromising
When they finish destroying what they could 
They move on to another
So when you see him sneering back at you 
Across the table at the bar 
Know it's him the snake breeching the weeds 
The unholy morning star...
