Pretty, til so wrapped about?

Quandary

With each poem I pen,
    before I click “submit,”
I wonder if it will be perceived
    as a witch's curse
or as a pauper’s gift.

Quandary

I had dreamt that all oceans were beer,
from a rowboat I’m scooping up cheer,
but similar to tea,
beer goes right through me.
I can’t urinate in the boat - OH DEAR!

Premium Member Poem Categories

One thing here that drives me absolutely crazy
is trying to decide a poem category.
Many times no category here applies to me
and leaves me in a very confusing quandary.

Premium Member Quiescent

A quiescent quiver
haunted the quagmire,
a quandary of purpose
overshadowed the quest.
The quadrangle protected
its secrets in silence.

The Hummingbird's Quandary

Just out of curiosity,
The honey tone hummingbird
Pierced the blue-sky door, 
As the sublunary creatures 
Perform the sacred moon dance
Dear hummingbird, what is your 
Query or leave us asunder?

Quandary

A fork in the road One paved, one pebbled Which way should I go? A cane in one hand And holes in both shoes The one that is right Less traveled The one which is left Only by fools

Premium Member Calling the Kettle Black

An Eagle whose name is Don Henley

To media isn’t so friendly

     He wrote “Dirty Laundry”

     Left press in a quandary

But sneers at the poor from his Bentley

Here's one for the ages, no one's thought Of being in an empty room, an answer's been sought Coz if you're in the room The question does loom It's no longer empty, in a quandary I'm caught
fun

Premium Member Neanderthal Quandary

As Neanderthals, you must know
that, wherever you may go, 
you will be hunted by the blokes
who describe themselves as modern folks. 
With culture and books, they're so chill - 
until...they begin to kill.

Premium Member Quandary

When you feel that time is passing fast 
And you will not accomplish the
Goals and dreams you had in your
Mind since you were a child
Ponder about what 
You can improve 
To have a
Better 
Life

Quandary

Should I
break my stone thoughts
'till dust upon my skin
satisfying sack cloth sorrow
reaching as a beggar reaches stained hands
sleeping without weight or 'morrow
having crushed thoughts of you
forever gone...
Should I?

Blind Contempt

The quandary of physics…
  a tool to divide

A slave to its master,
  alone to misguide

Capable of function,
  but never intent

An eye without vision
  —and blind with contempt

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

Premium Member The Quandary

Our Earth has been hot...
     Our Earth has been cold...
          Through times that were not
By humans controlled.

Cooling and Warming...
          Nature transforming?
               Earthlings deforming?

Premium Member The P's Have It

Paula’s partying parrot paraded pridefully past Pete
Particularly poised Petunia pranced persimmon sweet.
Pete preferred Paul’s personality, plowing past Petunia’s pail.
Quizzable questionable quandary quickly confusing quibbling quail.

Fade To Blue

solutions are never easy
sometimes the quandary is huge
words don't always frame your heart
pictures blur and fade to blue
often I go off track
my heart tries to control my mind
that is when mistakes are made
because love is always blind

Do Not Think

Fools rush in where
Both angels and devils fear to tread.
They know that procrastination
Is the thief of time and space.
To be, or not to be
Are not questions – they’re replies
To the quintessential quandary.
Don’t think. Go by your gut reaction.

Premium Member Critterature: A Poetic Quandary

The xenop* is a kind of frog
That loves a sub-Saharan climate.
And though I don't like being terse,
I must cut short this froggie's verse,
'cause I've encountered the poet's curse…
With xenop,
Like orange,
There's not much to rhyme it.
