To change for good
Clean our ways
Clean our lives.

To repent from sin
Repair bad traits
Prepare soul for cleansing....

Challenging to some is difficult at best
Ideas beyond reproach, beating their chest
Twisting the facts
Lying to the max
A difficult time sets us all to the test...

Ever if disaster 
Needed a safe 
Path to commit
It's destruction
No one would be
Beyond reproach.
Be it the wind, fire
Or Water;
Each will take 
It's own course

Houseplants reproach me,
and show drooping stems
and mottled leaves.
Death cannot be tolerated
Even at this level.
But then again, 
I'm far too lazy to do anything about it.
Conundrum....

Adversaries are none
When trepidation emerges
Rhetoric voices undone
Temper surges

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

the hailstorm debris
tantrum trees release their scorn
thundering toward roof
the infantile reproach stops
blink...did it happen...just wow

I remember you
and that sardonic sneer
is imprisoned deep within.

Those jagged taunts 
and knife edge taunts
devour my days ahead.

The cold dead eyes 
of mercy slain
meet mine

Forevermore....

You are sitting on raw skin
Too thin to pad 
Your polyester lining
And conform to your 
Thick lines of droop
Sad form
Slow age crept up 
Like decades of neglect
And wound their way
To your tired set
Of withering reproach...

For those who risk,
all honor and all glory,
but for those who don't  risk
only the existential void...
Repentance is a remarkable feat,
makes forgiveness possible...
But for those who insist on mistakes,
all shame and reproach......

Guilt, 
My shame, 
You teach me 
To have regret. 
You come from my fault, 
Giving me the feeling 
Of deserving blame for sin. 
You let me disapprove myself. 
Offenses have caused me to feel you. 
You bring me the feeling of self-reproach....

Z Z Top and Cousin It took the right approach
     Dark sun glasses and beards detract from scraggly hair
Next time my motley hairdo meets with reproach
     Combing forward I’ll consider, sparing the Nair

Wonder'd I amiss
forgotten in the snow past fallen-
warmth in reproach of the sun,
for early has the season come-
and having lost their hue,
were the gathering of leaves
and so become'th the frost
subdued.

I am frightfully fanciful,
My feather has a flourish
I am feeling foxy

My whorls and loops
Showing my stuff
Strutting

Yes I am a show off
Proudly and magnificently
Not everyone can do this
But I can

I am fancy
I write with a flourish
I am beyond reproach....

This poet has most incorrectly checked 
The little box which indicates "insect." 
This poem, I therefore flatly reject. 
I sharply reproach the writer.  

A spider, never an insect, was. 
I say this insistently because, 
He should say "sorry."  Until he does,
I remain a concerned spider....

A samurai's life... 
It has mysteries untold
And lots to unfold
Raging storms
Distorted forms

A samurai is one that is just
Not fighting to avenge
But to defend

Why do the nations rage?
Why is there reproach?
A samurai once I was
One that proclaimed peace
And set the nations at ease...

White crosses
show a thousand loses
row upon row of wars destruction

each one a voice of reproach and accusation
felt in the tears of a families devastation
heard in each graves silence

a humankind offense
Man's pretense

Be careful on the road, don’t rush in speed!
In any case, the speed limit, you shouldn't exceed
With caution, at every bend, you proceed
To all traffic rules and guidelines, pay heed.
Know well to what misery, reckless driving can lead
Let your conscience never reproach you on a rash deed.
