Short Reprimanded Poems

The prudent would rather be reprimanded by the wise than to be applauded by a myriad fools!

An Olympics Committee official said
          "Women talk too much in meetings"
       His resignation is being loudly demanded

       Were a woman to say the same about men
          ~ She might even be reprimanded...

An apple a day 
Keeps the doctor away.
With the meal finished
My daughter is still hungry
An hour later, anyway.
Reprimanded by her mother,
Acquiesced by her father,
She chomps away silently,
Juicy brick after juicy brick.
She is never, ever sick....

Hair so red
Locks like fire
Nicholas is here
Growing desire

He laughs so loud
But so soft spoken
Leaves my class
Forever broken

Wait five days
Can hardly stand it
Show him memes
I'm reprimanded

Kill the teacher
Hide the body
Back to Nick
Total hottie...

Double-sided mirror
Deceptive reflections
Void of truth and beauty
Faith a small-time felon
Captured in a tight snare
Beyond pleasure and pains

Purchased books not read
Portraits not painted
Houses without roofs
A nonfunction heart
Stagnated living

Showing cold love
Unresponsive
To blank feelings
Reprimanded

Double-faced
Characters
Manifested

Human
Beings

Cruel...

The iconic Desmond Tutu died, impish humor, feisty Archbishop, so revered,
As we lay him to rest, may angels embrace him, a great loss, much endeared,
A Nobel Prize winner, spoke out about Afrikaners, how they tyrannically reigned,
Reprimanded black political elite, tributes poured in globally, now he's mourned.

I felt so last inside my heart
that I could feel myself break apart
and when the crumbled pieces fell
my eyes for many reason apparent, did not swell
and yet I knew I could renew
all those moments that came due
I could hear the small voice from back then
want to reprimanded me for those sins
so I just sat in waited want
when I knew I couldn't flaunt
all the things that made me gold
just bronzed over when you told......

My cats have decided on this blustery cold morn,
To hide under the covers and stay oh so warm.

The wind keeps howling, making them shake,
While under the covers cozy it does make.

Moving may not be an option for me
For as I stretch the closer they be.

I tried to sneak out real quiet you see,
Buy they caught on quick and reprimanded me.

We all know who rules this house
And today we're not moving even for a mouse....
