Expanded our view beyond the skyline
Reluctant superstar and intellectual force
Relatively speaking, of course!

from the old tree showering
an old man walking.

The Children of Israel - Chapter 17, Verses 100, Holy Koran

Say, if you could control the treasures of my Lord’s mercy
Then you would be reluctant to spend it rightly
Because humans are niggardly.

French Mistreat

Silent black and white
She goes
In reluctant
French stain on you
Goodnight 
Sleeps 
On mine

And so reluctantly I leave you
For how long we're both unsure
But I take with me my memories
To cherish forever more.

pine trees lash and sway
in spring’s gusty williwaw,	
briefly turbulent
sun rays burn reluctant mists
into multicolored bow

The wife plans a spree to buy all
With husband on board at the mall
But as this takes place
He just looks for a space
To sit on a bench in the hall

Fall

old leaves are falling
sailing, reluctant, kiss death
the fragile air breaks 
healing hearts are letting go
love letters, clutched until now

Premium Member Reluctant Plumbers

Plumbers refuse to make a return visit.
After Medusa washes her hair out well.
Too many eager snake eyes watching them.
Down the drain where monsters dwell.

Premium Member The Reluctant Bride - VIGNETTE

maybe the bride airmailed me a message
to object to their match would be a mad gaffe
so I found fulfillment in fantasy  
as off flopped her head in a photograph

isn’t the waltz a prissy dance?
I’m reluctant to attend the exhibition
until I get there
then I am mesmerized and enthused
I want more actually, I want to learn

Good Outside, Bad Inside

A wise man has a foolish past,
sign's of haste, trials and time going to waste
A good chef has a bad taste
good to copy perfection, reluctant to paste
I am amazed!

Red Doors



words hurled in anguish
pierce translucent hearts apart;
rivulets of pain
await our healing love -- scared 
behind reluctant red doors

The Omniscient Third Person

You will shrug, leaving the talk
I will measure the mannerism,
Your prejudice, your reluctant mood
And then the omniscient third person
Will whisper,” Are you done, finally?”

Reluctant Spender

by Wayne Wysocki

There once was a banker from Kent
Whose life was fanatically bent
    On saving each quid
    Like no other did
And moaning with each pound he spent

Cold Feet

A frigid morning snowstorm
embraces its many guests,
a white veil at this wedding,
reluctant bridegroom.

Premium Member dancing doll in attic

when the lights dim the doll dances
enjoying her attic cell
terrifying the humans
there are reluctant footsteps
attic light is turned on
doll is frozen in place
giving away nothing

Senryu Three of Them and Horses

Senryu 

I’m a cowboy
Herding in reluctant words 
To make a poem 

Argentina’s pampas 
Where wild horses live 
Poetry in motion  

The gaucho
Is a free verse maker 
On horseback

Reluctant Reproach

Adversaries are none
When trepidation emerges
Rhetoric voices undone
Temper surges

Contrive modes of destruction
Follows continuous bashing
Unequivocal construction
Without talk trashing

Premium Member Once

If it happened just once
Could we ever reclaim
The reluctant relaxing
We shared all the while
In my empty arms
I need your bodys shape
To curse out the darkness
Until the suns reluctant rise

If it happened just once
Could we ever reclaim
The reluctant relaxing
We shared all the while
In my empty arms
I need your body’s shape
To curse out the darkness
Until the suns reluctant rise

Premium Member Where Schemed Lithe Runners

in
reluctant
teardrops
plop 
visions
of my field
of dreams
a bloody
track
of cinders
where
schemed
lithe
runners
to box me in
and ere 
i fell 
this 
lonely race
become
my requiem
