Short Speculate Poems

take one drop of rain
multiply it; speculate,
all that emotion
a little that gives so much,
if only that it was love.

We always speculate that,
it requires considerable time,
to instigate change in life.
But little do we understand,
the changing times would leave our life bartered forever.

I'm too consumed with concerns of today
To contemplate or speculate about a better tomorrow
Tomorrow never comes, that is true
So why should I be thinking of a better tomorrow
When my concerns are for today...

Caveat Spender
by Michael R. Burch

It’s better not to speculate
"continually" on who is great.
Though relentless awe’s
a Célèbre Cause,
please reserve some time for the contemplation
of the perils of
EXAGGERATION....

Some people love to speculate
And conversate about everything
Whatever they perceive it to be
Or believe it to be an F & A 
C & a T in essence they investigate 
The things that they see
Like leave it to me
I'm connecting things 
To escalate the escapade...

A gypsy told me destiny
Has etched the road ahead --
Someone else expressed that we
Can plot a course instead.

While worldly scholars speculate,
Perhaps the truth goes thus:
The universe just shows the way,
The rest is up to us....

Jasper Johns saw the number eight,
And he was illuminated,
Then he started to speculate:
A lonely number should be mated,
I need something with more weight,
And the obvious he deliberated:
Paint with numbers my good man,
I’ll draw them from the colours in my can!...

Tempus Fugit L
(Time Flies)
Written: by Tom Wright
4/15/2018

When faced with a project that I’m eschewing,
The time seems prolonged and I speculate why.
But undertaking assignments that I enjoy doing,
Time escapes, and figuratively speaking, does fly.

Here in front of me, 
Are the shadows of a nation.
Faltering, falling, than dying.
In my adolescent hands,
In my child’s hands, 
And in my children’s, children’s hands.

They cry
They beseech 
With gory tears, 
Seeping out of their eyes.
As they speculate on why,
Have we forsaken them?...

I have written my fair share of erotic poetry,
but I would never post it here because of my use of profanity,
and I can safely speculate that readers here would view it as pornography,
but I will tell you this, perhaps somewhat pompously,
that I could give 50 Shades of Grey a run for its money....

Subjective objection to lack of objective proof,
Overpowering faith defies scientific truth.
Perimeter observations,
No rationalization but this,
The supernatural creates,
For we do exist.

Sit on the gate and continue to speculate,
Why the sheep stay in fleet, don't look to escape this fate....

Have you ever felt so depressed that you simply just want to die?
Well here's a suggestion that may help you. Have yourself a good cry.
I'm not ashamed to say, I cry everyday and I speculate that this little ritual
has given me the strength to carry on with a much greater stronger will.

Try it sometime. It Works....

A world without love,
is a world without passion.
'tis a world cold and emotionless
I for one, 
am subjected to a full heart,
the one which can pulse through
pain, anxiety, joy and happiness.
The heart which defines the soul.
I am,
to whoever that may speculate,
in my world of love,
brimming with passion,
and emotion....

Society is now one
	
Polished horde,
Formed of two mighty
	The two tribes,
The bores and the bored!

Don’t do!
Just even try to do!
You’re mine as am yours!

We are two
In one of ours!

Love forever
Like of doven love!
One dies one not marry!

Don’t bore me my only one!!!
It is where you are as I speculate my ideas...

REPRESENTATION

to

a potential

a
 tour de force

The more they speculate-

The more my secrets seem to glimmer. 

But my secrets and I will vanish if they are pounced upon. 

Soon the others follow behind like zombies. 

Trying to sneak up steadily. 

So that I am forced to dive deeper.

The more I hide, the more I forget what it was like just a few weeks ago…

But someone started this fight....

Eternal
or
nearly so.
We see
what we 
see.
Nothing more.
We 
speculate
on the 
rest.
Vastness 
beyond 
our world,
unfathomable.
Universe to
multiverse 
to eternal,
or nearly so.
Universes
budding 
one from
another.
Never ending!
How long?
First one,
how long
ago?
Googolplex years,
perhaps
more.
Essentially 
“Alway was,
always 
will be”...

"He or she eats like a bird," I've heard often said,
regarding people who eat little when they are fed.
Birds eat an average of 1/4 to 1/2 of their weight everyday,
so if humans were to eat the very same way,
one who eats like a bird, one can safely speculate,
would be very obese, vastly overweight,
and would literally eat themselves to an early death at any rate....

My life boat has a motor and a sail. 
I turn the engine on if zephyrs fail,
And stay the course, despite the turning tides, 
Asserting that my vessel steady glides - 
Free as a bird with one determined drill - 
Common sense - my compass steered by will. 

When under I go, feel free to speculate 
Whether that was my predetermined fate!

Written: by Tom Wright
January 2015

Like an Appaloosa’s rump, 
The sky was so flecked. 
Or with sparkling diamonds,
That God had bedecked.

The aroma of fresh hay, 
Had hitched evening’s breeze;
While an un-molested Owl,
Spoke loudly from the trees;

Now wordlessly engrossed, 
In this creation by God’s hand;
I speculate on my tomorrow,
And what He has planned.

I'm not on to intimidate

Like to communicate

And will not hesitate

To always motivate

And to dedicate

Of course associate

One whom graduates

I don't navigate

To try to rotate

Or try to retaliate

And then speculate

Or try to manipulate

To always aggravate

That would frustrate

Then have to translate

What I don't want to communicate.

The great beyond we can only speculate
A Garden of Eden or nothingness
What awaits us are we foregiven for our sins
Or is there nothingness
A wonderland of great riches beyond description
Until we pass through the Pearly Gates
It is only for us to imagine the glory beyond
When we hit the bottom of despair
We can't imagine ever recovering from this plight
It is only for us to speculate...

Too many philosophies to live one's life

Too many atrocities to test one's faith

Too many shortcuts to test one's patience

Too many religions that make man stray

Too may wrongs have benched most rights 
To maintain some specific balances, heaven and hell was created.

We judge and speculate where specific people belong because of their actions.

Death will surely reveals individual's final abode...

The Lute


This is the time of meanings,
secret codes, suddenly appearing
unexplained. This is a dark time
at the tippling edge of day.
Now I speculate about what I am seeing,
I link it to impossible theories.
.
This is a state we are warned about.
If anyone knew about this,
they would feel the danger.
I know the danger, the fear of it
rumbles in my mind.
Yet it gets more distinct
like the strumming of a lute....

Ofttimes I voyage to celestial realm
My mind takes flight when I reflect
Outstanding beauty will overwhelm
Planetary mystery has that effect.

Enchanting rings of Saturn
Superstar of our solar system
I think of a cosmic magic lantern
Imbued with ancient erudition.

Wonderful to voyage in deepest space
My mind is free to speculate
What unknown knowledge will I face
My mind takes flight will meet my fate.
