Short Resorted Poems

Just 

laying

in his arms

always heals me

when I realize his touch gives me rest.

His touch is so refreshing that I am

resorted to

a wilting 

happy

mess!...

A box of pieces purchased for the price of licensed parchment
Poured out and placed in piles prepared to be resorted with patience
Put together so the picture is no longer a puzzle...

Still have faith in human creatures
Though sometimes, our ugly side is featured
Many times before
We resorted to wars
Good guys always win but at times we've teetered...

I have always lived in a gray area.
Weary of the red tape
I ever resorted to white lies,
That only made me 
the black sheep of my family.

In a distant land many miles away
Lived a hermit who dilly-dallied all through the day
When it came time for slumber
He resorted to counting numbers
Of young lasses showing asses part of a beach ballet...

A dysfunctional child covered in mud
If her mamma didn't clean her do you think a stranger would?
dirty looks and filthy nails
gossips, rumours and funny tales
labels that stick and wont wash off
she is a tree with a damaged root
she grows no flowers
she grows no fruit
Broken trees can’t grow wings
This little girl resorted to other things

When God created human,
Used the clay of five elements,
Same for all;
In two molds,
One to seed,
Other to conceive;
Natural, no adulteration, 
Not even colors to shade,
All were same and one;
But human trusted self,
More than the creator God;
Learned to seize power, 
Exploiting race and creed;
Resorted to quenching greed,
Annihilated gifts of God;

My second grade grandson’s a writer,
His stories creative and fun,
With spelling that’s just as creative
As the story he’s joyfully spun.

Most often I’m quick to decipher
The words that I don’t understand
But sometimes I’m stymied by letters
Not quite what the books would demand.

So today I resorted to asking 
What word was in front of my eyes.
The obvious answer (to someone)
Was, “Nana - of course, it’s disguise!”...

For more than a couple thousand years -- this being 2020 -- regardless of the era, or the ethnic group you choose,
Near every man and woman - that is passed the age of three - to reach the goal they mean to has resorted to a ruse

Aimed at making certain they achieve what they intend…telling lies of any sort to fashion their desires,
And I assert that all who’ve ever lived, without exception - male or female - young or old - at some point - have been liars!...

In a toxic environment we’re being forced to live,
and in the name of social justice we rewrite history.
We dwell on past wrongs while refusing to forgive,
and many is the time we’ve resorted to sophistry.

We no longer extend the hand of kindness to others,
and we busy ourselves daily, inspecting others fruit.
Because each person has his or her own druthers,
each sunrise always brings something else to dispute.
