War is the worst of crimes,
to steal young lives is theft.
War does not determine who is right...
It determines who is left.
brigand connoisseur
embezzling my precious stones
counterfeit romance
stealing but the refined part
sterile, barren heart remains
Sweet sticky moment
Nectar flow, golden honey
Irresistible
One demented honey bee
Affronted at blatant theft.
A teenager without a dime
Was suspected of a theft crime
When asked for ID
He said, "There's just me
And I'm Cliff; drop over sometime!"
helpful or harmful
MacGyver or conniver

Senryu (for you)

Bricks and cement do not make walls for a prison
Only cruel minds and premeditation
Is it not murder?
Is it not fraud and theft that locks one in?
Like a thief in the night who robs you blind,
Time steals away your youth, leaving old age behind.

Poor people have so few worries
And they're never in much of a hurry
As we, on guard day and night against theft
Else our vast fortunes ~ bereft
I woke from a dream feeling bereft,
but there hadn't been a bicycle theft.
My bike was there, so I went outside
and found I don't know how to ride.
Childlike wonder fades,
In the mirror, time's soft theft.
Hearts once light, now weigh,
Dreams of youth, a distant breath,
Wisdom's price, the joy it left.
Oh,she stole,
The essence of my whole.
She is gone,
With the box of my fun.
My love's gone,
Not alone,even with my all.
Call me police,
Oh!,she is stealing off.
The glorious thief is happy
He knows he is a humble thief
He’ll go to heaven.
Theft remains on the Cross, he thinks
But one can behave humbly
Without being humble
My love is invalid
She cannot feel it
Just blessed for a man
who cannot deal it
That left to a cat
is one man steal it
When theft of a heart
is one man seal it
The thief of my creation - the robber of his own self-worth;
loaned fleeting triumph - doomed to spiraling downward - dazzle to dust, fast.

A Different Pinch
Key left by Charlie Sheen
Allowed the theft of his Mercedes so keen.
Cops came like so many times before,
But this time he stayed to close his house door.
Stolid, terse
Ferrous verse
Raw, crude
Pressing lewd
Fiery, rage
Warring sage
Wild, free
As the open sea
Clever, deft
Mindful theft
Longing, attentive
Yet pensive
Petty Theft
Abandoned on a dark and dusty shelf,
a part of her forsaken self,
not forgotten, but a misbegotten
treasure of a stolen Christmas elf.
. for public domain and petty thieves
At the Lost And Found, I called Dial A Prayer
I had a map, but not a clue one
Old age yes, it must be identity theft, someone stole my life
Form:
He sings "behind prison bars" blues
'cause he's walked in another man's shoes!
He feels so bereft
since identity theft
only works until one pays his dues.
(not for the contest; it's too short)
when you made that hot apple pie
then placed it to cool on the hutch
it was the apple of my eye
and it tasted like it was dutch

I guard every secret
without building a fortress
around it and not fear theft;
let battering storms attack it,
let ill-wishers envy it:
will their effort to bring it
down affect my deep fondness?
With lightest hand
and heavy heart
My pen runs dry,
bereft and stark
That never given,
I’m doomed to steal
The grandest theft
—my words conceal
(Stealing From Laura (Muse): March, 2021)
the inlaws and outlaws have left
the turkey has so much less heft
got pies for the flies
and naps for the eyes
the icebox has suffered from theft
but
still got ‘nuff leftovers to make peach gobbler
The best anti theft lock for a car
Is appropriately stained jocks as the anti-theft bar
So have these jocks on the steering wheel
For a display to ward off the thief in their steal.
