it always brightened his mood
but then one time
he ate a lime
and it left him feeling quite shrewd!

Bugs Bunny:
a cartoon character who was more than just funny.
His way of dealing with rivals was shrewd.
Yosemite Sam always came out worse in their feud.

Love and Hate

LOVE and HATE it can often be said
in relationships, share the same bed
if you're really quite shrewd
you can work out her mood-
either lipstick or bruise on my head!

Eyes So Daring

My mature face speaks
Eyes daring you to debate 
Such intelligence
You may be advanced in years
Yet today I am more shrewd.

deeply set shrewd eyes
prey seen tricked by noiseless flight…
backward nighttime sight

Impact On Brain No Longer Intact

Impact On Brain No Longer Intact

After our brains had been racked and racked,
Again we would try to determine total impact;
Were shrewd;
Really rude;
We heard news and no longer remained intact.

Even Though We Should Seclude

Even Though We Should Seclude

Even though what we should do is to seclude,
And never knew where it was and then elude;
In search of,
Below and above;
Still seemed so shrewd when properly viewed.

Jack, the Crow

Once there was a man called Jack, the crow
this crow wanted to be called as “clever crow”
believed “I am fox, the shrewd” 
exploited "values misunderstood"
bloody jack is no “first citizen” but “esteemed citizen” now!

Life As You Create

In an egg like world
One thought he is what he is
Long before his birth

Doing more shrewd steps
Grounding too much to struggle
Thriving as crystals

Water like mirror
Reminds human true nature
Splendid moments leap.

I'm scared about a bladder overflow. I'm recently leaving through your scarecrow. Be shrewd if you go around the corner. Yellow snow should serve as eye-opener.

The Player

With a  cunning eye he checked
Strategizing wildly as he approached
Calculating and shrewd
With a razor sharp focus he raced
While all he blocked

And with a powerful kick
Made history with the magnificent winning goal!

Premium Member An Emperor in Me

   An emperor reclines in   
      thrall to my confines

   O, how he’d dictate to his heart’s delight
      but he’s too wise to fight
   my shrewd mind and my steely spine

      ~ carves out his place midst my shrine

Premium Member Quitters Never Win

A frog fell in love with a stork shrewd
Suggesting a kiss she wooed her food
Trying to swallow him, how rude!
The frog rung her neck, eyes protrude
He hopped on out, limping like a dude!

Middle-Age Musings

You Tube fame,
reality
stars who
infamously
infiltrate our youth
and promote
success
for being
nothing
more than shrewd
salespeople
who market one thing:
themselves, anger me ‘cause
I
was born just too soon.

Conceiving

The knife peels off 
the silence. 
Colours were very shrewd.

      *

Tonight I want to sleep 
open-eyed, to keep a 
vigil on shooting stars.

      *

The wood god 
had no limbs. Only jewels 
were used as prostheses.

Rook Moves In

grey
squirrel
busily 
buries acorns
keenly observed by shrewd ravenous rook.
rook swoops in, pillaging hidden treasures,
jewels shattered
on roof tops;
oak tree
groans.
