Short Vis A Vis Poems

Sting of bee,
shakes you up,
Bite of snake,
makes you dead,
that's difference,
when you have adversity vis a vis death in reference....

If one mongoose is called a mongoose

   Then can't we conclusively deduce

      That two could be called mongeese

         'Twould make a great discourse piece

            Unless ye be dreadfully obtuse

It seems that even-tempered Ralphie Parker,

   Had a side to him that was somewhat darker.

      Ralphie lost his cool with his mortal protagonist,

         And bloodied the beak of Farkus his antagonist!

Amalgam  vis-à-vis 
of enzymes...
enraptured bows
of intimate fires...
Love, unsatisfied mix
of electrons, protons and neutrons!
screens emotionally
intertwined in feelings
ethereally woven...
prime seams,
magnetized caresses
attracted by the vortex,
kinesthetic vibration
that is the love !...

Flippity Floppity
Billy Jean Moffitt King
master tennis player
career legend

Never a thought of her
ephemerality
troubled, infirmity
record destined

Slippity Sloppity
Robert Larimore Riggs
Hustler, tennis gambler
major success

Credible challenger
overambitiousness
Battle of the Sexes
Bobby’s excess...

Amalgam vis-à-vis
of platonic enzymes,
intimate fireworks broth
enraptured,
unsatisfied mix
of protons, electrons
and neutrons.
web emotionally
strewn with
woven feelings
fluidly, are
matrix firstfruits,
pure words that
from the book don't run away
antimagnetic apples
that of the tree
don't fall ,
 phenomenon from love to love......

Dismissing such as trivial

Yet we’re affected by its being viral…

While forecasting its flippant survival

We’re anxious to find its trending rival...

God be thanked for truth* midst deceit's trial.

Psalm 25:10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

On that moment
Time froze 
And the Ocean
Paused to breathe 

And tried reading 
My eyes and me, 
What were the feelings
That thrilled and chilled me! ! 

Your looks 
vis-a-vis had pulled away
Me out of me...

The Earth and the sky and the Ocean
Nothing existed around.
Nothing except that beauty celestial
Emanating from your eyes
Filling elegance around me....

Accept thyself,
That even my personality,
can not stood with most pride,
when a Charisma,
is overwhilmed by,
thy can not hold on,
but to accept thy fate...

And while it is true,
that I can not achive,
to elevate thyself,
in the level of Nurie --Light
I can not easily given up,
for I believed I can reach,
the luckiest of my Dream...

I'm not all that enthused about Trump for Commander-In-Chief.

I personally find his narcissistic behavior beyond belief!

However, he or anyone else in my biased opinion is preferred to Hillary.

With her past precarious behavior she is fair-play for ridicule and pillory!

Few and far between doggerel delights
Google gets it with sesquipedalian surprise
Forgive and forget gift of the gab
The sweet spot isn't always wizardry with words
So vis-a-vis what's tried and true
Is sharing something that's unique to you
Cookie cutters have never moved mountains
