Short Tensile Poems

Computing a load-bearing tensile,
A math guy sought writing utensils.
He’d bought cheese and ate it,
Was now constipated,
But worked it all out with a pencil.

What We Would Do Was to Complain

What we would do was to complain,
About things going on in campaign;
A tensile head;
Wish was dead;
Had been hard to bare all the strain.

Judging our tensile strength

As she furiously reams 

Nibbling away at our armor

Undeterred by wishes or dreams

Alternately pushing and pulling

Rending our world with her blast

Yanking us apart at the seams...

Quatrain #523:
SLOT


Spread squishy sounds in noisy perks,
Loud violence rounds crude tensile jerks;
Opt brutal grounds with vulgar reach,
Trouble soon pounds such absurd works.

AUTUMN
Arduous racking of leaves from the trees;
Ultimately gathering from down on our knees.
Turkey and tensile; soon to be here;
Uniting of families as Christmas draws near.
Maple leaves falling; by many and one;
Nature announces; that winter will come...

MOMENTS 3  DOING


Toast your own bread
Do what you dread
Multi-grain bread


Eat what you can
No need to plan
Poise says you can


Can finesse spring?
From mundane things
A tensile spring

Seven Savvy Sirens
formed a formidable fraternity
of pure-passion purpose
for female fatales.

Murder-minded maids
promised patient pursuit
of tensile tangled truth
while warily watching
crafty crook's coup.

But, busted and bested,
dames drink despair
like lambs laid lame
in trickster's thorny trap....

Gather good grace
Fancy fits face


Dance deep desire
Forge flaming fire


Touch tensile thrill
Walk waking will


Words wake wonder
Pique prompt ponder


Live laughter loud
Poise plunders proud


Bright blossoms boast
True tales thrill toast

it slips her frame
the tiniest falls of water
cascade her curves
fingertips scratch
the liquid skim
trembled tremors timbre's
over the tensile taut
green splinters
in slashes of light
does she float
or does the water
raise her in their hands
in a hero's praise
its hold
of her reflection
just too long...

Love wears a face
Touch tensile trace


Love knows the way
Taste touching play


Love holds the heart
Sight cheer that starts


Love shines warm light
Scent joy move flight


Love gives fond zest
Hear happy fest


Love shows soul how
Live here and now

Seven savvy sirens
formed a formidable fraternity
of pure-passion purpose
for female fatales.

Murder-minded maids
promised patient pursuit
of tattered, tortured truth
while warily watching
crafty crook’s clever con.

But, bested and busted,
dames drink dark despair
like lambs laid lame
in trickster's tensile trap....

Fast and furious energy
Spinning into my orb’s  flatness 
A rotating funnel
It whirls and spirals
Rearranging what was
Mind reflected 
In its menacing eye 

Force fields emerge
Pressing together
Two lives
Fires once banked
Flame anew
Mindless of what should be
What is emerges
Love’s tensile strength transmuted

Stray words
In the windy breeze
Now heard
In a gentle squeeze


Soft sounds
In the bamboo pines
Now ground
In stray breezy lines


Sweet strains
In the rustling leaves
Speak plain
In green windy brief


Soft moans
In the tensile twirl
Leaves groan
In the whizzy swirl

Books blossom bright library lot,
Seek sensuous sight take tensile thought.


Wise words work well where wisdom wills,
Take time to tell true tales that thrill.


Bright being blooms to taste true track,
Rich rapture rooms stillness's sweet stack.

There is a space
When time stands still,
Here face to face
Deep silence fills.


In a calm trace
Cause greets last light,
A certain pace
Transcend mere sight.


Stillness now drafts
True tensile tact,
Watch ideas craft
Such myriad acts.


In poignant feel
That grand design,
Watch stillness heal
What cause aligns.

Freeze-frame final fate
Lust losing life late
Grandeur grooming gate

Soon soaring sweepstakes
Wonderland waits wake

Breath bursting boom bloom
Grasp greets grouse's grim gloom
Ripe rest retrieves room


Troubles taking toil
Style solemn sad spoils
Broken bearing boil

Black Dog Blues
To have control of emotion,
mental black dog of the lost,
plunge thoughts deep in icy ocean,
it cant move in permafrost,

depression lives if you let it,
but you are better than that,
remember the part with a happy heart,
where your MOOD control is at,

i could not have put it better mate,
weak Willie pays the cost,
mental IS of the tensile frame,
resolve is never lost...

Fumble fleeting make

Something happens dear
Crazy confronts fear
