Short Specified Poems

A sophmore with a senior crush
would softly glow and brightly blush
But got no ring
For class was King
And specified the Royal Flush...

Her voice had an unusual pitch
That sounded like my neighbor Mitch
She tried talking soft
But still she was off
Then specified her voice was a glitch...

God Has Specified

There are certain thongs God Has Specified
Make sure all bets are covered that you tried;
Wear poker face,
Just in case,
And not be bankrupt before you going inside.

Preparing for trip. Hope to leave just after

Charmaine is shaped like a hollyhock.
She is drawn in a long venue but she is short.
I had no idea she would be this darling,
but she is, and I am thrilled with her.
Thank you, I tell the artist.
She is everything I had imagined and more.
I had not specified colors, and yet,
here they were, two of my favorites.
Orange and pink....

whorl
of gig,
seasonal
festivity ~
shapely, forested feast,
fairyland of colors.

scarlet, gold, and pumpkin,
reddish-purple notes ~
serenade of
surging gale’s
lavish

My shadow on the wall
It is not as bold as it was before
And it's blurry; what's more.
My image is much bigger
Not brighter.
Each time I see my shadow,
The image gets lighter,
Every day as night falls,
My shadow disappears from the wall,
Daylight comes, and once again,
My shadow returns and will remain,
Until on a specified day,
The border and shadow will fade away....

Discrete vs. Continuous Variables. If a variable 
can take on any value between two specified 
values, it is called a continuous variable; 
otherwise, it is called a discrete variable. 

Trump Discrete Tweet Meet To Eat

Trump's variables are always discrete,
And never quite sure  where they eat;
Narrow minded,
Being blinded;
As all of his intelligence  does deplete.

Each Is Different
(But in HIS Likeness)
Written: by Miracle Man
8/6/2019

God didn’t intend for same kind thinking,
But gave each a free will, and sense of reason.
He placed within each, a need for interlinking,
And for every purpose He specified a season.


Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

I'm not strong
the nights are long
with my thoughts
in my mind
the demons designed
all the lies
that specified
how to act
they told me what to do
that's a fact
I made a pact
with myself
not to be put on a shelf
the thoughts in my mind on repeat
it forms a beat
I try to push the demons away
that's a feat
but I never can
they come back in a clan
ready to be fought
they can't be bought...

Autumn Colors (Death So Bold)

Resting upon cold , hard ground
leaves depleted Autumn's gold 
Solid vapors soon are found
in rested spirits of old
colors so bright, death so bold

How has it come?
There was youth,
then love-
a certained indefatigable spirit,
tending memories, coddling pasts;
those pasts, her.
Recalled experiences as exhilarating
as the finest spring breath;
he'd left it all to chance,
or specified women, and now
blindsided by loneliness
and loss,
waxing and waning unpredictably,
but mostly waning.
An ordinary mortal
leads an un-heroic life
until nothing remains inside.
No, tears are not just water....
