She May Be - Well Read

Hey dude be polite close your jaw
I know women’s breasts bring us awe
Some cravings are strong
But this is plain wrong
For those two belong to my ma

Wildlife 20

There once was a well read young fox,
Who got her head stuck in a box,
She was having a look
At her favourite book,
By Seuss!1 It was all about socks!!

In the Vault with Walt

Some say...Walt Whitman's the poet's champ!

His works were well read, by dim oil lamp.

But, oh so long winded,

Those words never ended...

Woe, ritual champ of reader's cramp

Knowledge Brings Humility

A well read person is silent, has no ego at all
He understands knowledge is vast, he is not a know-all

The Man With Two Heads

The Man With Two Heads


There once was a man with two heads
Of letters and science well read
By the light of the moon
He could make juries swoon
Spinning truth so fast their ears bled!

As I Was Walking In the Snow

As I Was Walking In the Snow

the snow, a fattening marshmallow 
like Leaves of Grass lent to Longfellow
same dog eared look
of well read book
it must be old, it’s turning yellow

Bare Love Advice

Lovemaking is often well read,
Wisely, one must fear how they tread,
If you strip to bare charm
They may express alarm
And ask for painkillers instead.

I Was, I Am

I was BORN.
I was WELL-READ.
I was POLITICALLY FATED.

I was HISTORICALLY ENTERTAINED.
I was PHYSICALLY RESTRAINED.
I was BIOLOGICALLY STAINED.

I am my VARIOUS WRITINGS.
I am my SPOKEN WORDS.
I am my SILENT THOUGHTS.

I am ORGANIZED.
I am ARTICULATE.
I am PUNCTUATE.
I am GRAMMATICAL.

I am SELF LEARNING.

Wish Well

Though I may be well-spoken,
And I may be well-read, 
And I may be well-dressed,
Because I may be well-bred,
I may have good intentions,
And I may be well-loved,
And I may be well-off,
And be well-thought-of,
But until living for Jesus
Has become my life’s goal
I'll never know in my heart
That all's well with my soul

Inner Voice

Nicorates warned me about you
not so much with words
more in dubiety, 
a clairaudient hesitation

imagine an experienced woodworm
widely travelled and well read 
making peace with a cluttered desk top
within which it now dwells
keeping it right, advised

that's kind of it, really
suffice to say, Nicorates is rarely wrong

Word

Words have flavor 
Though not eaten 
Some are sour 
Others sweetened 

Words can darken 
Teach true hate 
Or preach love 
And Illuminate 

Words like read 
Are so decieving 
Is it read or read 
That I am reading 

Words are sticks 
Then they’re stones 
Can be bricks 
In well read homes 

Words can color 
In so many hues 
Or dull you 
Smear you in blue

''Muse''

I can hear my muse weep and sigh;
I just listen and don't ask why.

her touch feels like a burning fire
and it's forever there to inspire.

she visits me in the cool of the morn
by the brooks where I was born.

there she reveals her magic powers
where I await among the lovely flowers.

she'll be my muse till I am gone and dead,
when my poems are famous and well-read.

Dong Zhongshu, 179-104 BC

If you've a yen (it's not zen) you may bet your bottom dollar while integrating yin yang cosmology Chinese philosopher and scholar Dong Zhongshu (good old you know who) favoured heaven worship results over and above traditional cults altho' a man well-read he often wrote instead yet to avoid confusion knowingly said, 'Jump to assumption, arrive wrong conclusion.'

Deepest Thought

deep thoughts travel through my mind 
all i remember is a bunch of neverminds
if love is in and out of her body 
ill wait until i find that special somebody
some say sex is complex if so
love me nevertheless
love is war and war backwards 
is raw you should only love when you're 
(R)ead(A)nd(W)illing 
if love is only cover deep
well read it and weep
lust is just a quick bust
real love is never rushed

Lego Words

So a poet you want to be
playing with words
like a child with lego
at his mothers knee

using the bricks to build something new
like words to express how your feeling blue
or red for a wall or if your happy instead
the wall willl be strong
and the words well read

so you can create an image for all to see
one will be solid
and seen through the eyes
the other a picture still
yet built in the mind

Comets Taking a Self Guided Tour

Comets taking a self guided tour
So many to drink in without a slur
Mystical and genuine, both are a plenty
Antares is a fundamental of my entity
The only commonality is their drawings among the stars
As Tellurians, we claim many of them are among ours
Signs are clearly visible in the clear night sky airs
Are six and two totally opposite sets of pairs?
Perhaps all are well read bibliomaniacs
That pledge allegience to the zodiacs

The Day It Rained Penguins

It was September 16th, 1898, the day it rained penguins.
There was a magician in town; he arrived in a hot air balloon.
Who does he think he is? We asked ourselves, but we were intrigued.
The penguins were all over the streets, running and hopping.

Did they come down from the sky? Did he bring them in the balloon?
What were these curious creatures? Were they aliens?
None of us knew; we had never been to the Arctic
And frankly, none of us were well-read.

On Readers Digest 2

The only book teaching humanism;	
The only which cures locoism;	
One and only poem for lyricism	
Is Reader’s Digest’s mechanism.	
If you see it through any prism	
Can find joy, fun, thrill and sarcasm	
This is a  weak agent of nihilism;	
This is the best known idealism	
Where all spend individualism	
To receive mental masochism.	
Reading it is just like mesmerism.	
Without it school suffers gargoylism.	
Indian tradition or let be Maoism,	
It is well read and accepted optimism.

Novels

They huddle on shelves like sardines crammed in cans even hungry paper lice are prevented entry into their literary leaves. Novels are an aggregate of grey matter whose ingenuities maw muted narratives for willing eyes; Taking us vicariously through fictional Plots unfolded by actions, speech and thoughts of fictional characters at our leisure. An immortal genre whose fame is enduring as long as there exist authors that write them and well-read people who read them.
