Seeing Both Sides

Listen to poem:
Standing up, on top
straddling the seesaw
one foot on each side, now.
Whichever way I lean
sends the upside down
and the downside up.
Slippery slide 
to the flip-side
is unworkable.
It's lunge, parry
riposte.

Sword Play

Watch
Riposte
Spin, and then
Pique the heart ink
Diffidence showing the appalling link

Firmament encroached; caliginous stars
Ergo; all mars
With but three
Cuts to
Bone

Ah
Remise
Dip again
Ink thus imbued
Recondite quill forthwith shall be  renewed

Expectation Feud

Listen to poem:
I waited, anticipated
Hopes were high, bloated
It was too much to ask, inflated
I lowered my sights, deflated
Tried not to be hurt, shielded
Numbed my senses, phlegmatic
Checked the date and time, could be wrong
I fought back and forth, sparred
Willed a lunge, parry, riposte, touché
But, when it came, it fizzed
The expectation feud, 
blew out the candles.

What Suits Her

"All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone ---------- Though the suit has us somewhat engrossed, I’m inclined to share this quick riposte: though those patches and string scarcely cover a thing, how she looks with them off counts the most. ---------- for the Bikini Quote Poetry Contest sponsored by Julia Ward written on 07/31/23

Mirror Me.

Studying the face’s familiar eyes
Compelled to ask, “Who are you?”

In a cant voiced riposte he said
“Wealthy and destitute”,

“I am impartial and prejudiced”,
“Compassionate and derisive”,

“I am modest and narcissistic”,
“Munificent and niggardly”,

“I am astute and imprudent”,
“Dignified and indecorous”,

“Each piece of this puzzle is me”,
“And I am the puzzle in entirety”

My mirrored face then audaciously asked,
“Now tell me…who are you?”
