Illiterate games are my favorite
I’d rather you don’t speak to me
In words whispered
Talk to me totally tacitly 
You’re so cute when you’re quiet...

A full moon
                           Robert Chung
Once in the lunar month
A full moon stops by,
Telling us something, tacitly.
We do not perceive it, but
Marvel only at her brightness.

The wild dogs on the hill
Howl knowingly.
They are touchy-feely!...

Jumping about rising to a shout, 
Teens, tweens, they love skinny jeans 
No matter what age, they will not be encaged, 
Their hatred for boredom, 
Their lust to not be unjust, 
They talk the talk, but can they walk the walk 
Is a question many keen teens ask themselves. 
They tend to their own fun, but not to mend, 
The wrongs they have done to others. 
 
Thirteen teens talk tacitly tending to their work...

the april sun tickles my funny bone
i wish i weren't so down and all alone
sitting tacitly on a cold park bench
my aching bruised heart to quench
i gaze up at the lofty sky of blue
and launch daydream bubbles of me and you

To those Purple Orchids,
bringing my mystique out. 
wantedly or without my permit. 
To the brisk blow.,
to snog it tacitly 
here beside my ear. 
Then to the sturdy sea, 
for reminding me, 
The sentence of a sin. 
To the flaming fire., 
For rescuing me
From all deceits. 
To the cool drizzle., 
to call the warmth out
When it's hight temp there.
To these silvery chords.,
To pop up the question
when all others in quiet....

Nay say I
the cart 
will not  
be put 
before the horse
wisdom as old as time
I will therefore 
not
tacitly
or 
overtly 
tip the nod
in “bro” fashion
in support   
of your comments
about your wife’s cooking
not until 
I have dined at her table
and tasted her cooking 
which 
I am sure
cannot be
as bad 
as you say it is
I am absolutely positive 
that a woman
with legs and a figure like hers 
will cook like an angel.
