Short Well Spoken Poems

I talked to a ghost
he was very well-spoken
and smarter than most...

A day laborer was he
His diet, stale bread
   and weak tea

Hadn't much to say
for he wasn't well-spoken

Never took a break
'til he was already broken...

well-spoken well-meaning 
attempts at getting to the 
heart of the matter getting
down to the root of the problem
never worked out to my benefit 
always went a stray off onto another 
tangent of intangibility...

thoughts

become a

tapestry of words

when well spoken

or dabbed

in staccato strokes

like the oil brush

of an artist

on canvas

crave the gentle

caress of words

like the intimate

touch of woman...

COMMON
What do we all have in common
Sometimes people just pretend to be forgotten
How can we overcome our worst fear to brighten
The promises are empty when they are just well spoken

...Well-spoken liars in a suit,
lawyers look like saints next to them,
the only constant that we know
is they will lie to us again.
Betrayed the trust we placed in them
to make propaganda and swill,
reporters are a plague on man,
so yes, treat these scumbags like filth....

Well- spoken people are
widely admired and they
win the hearts of people.
Wise and worthy deserve
wealth and fame in their lives.
Witty make other's life
wonderful with wisecracks.

A well spoken Martian came calling last week
He popped in the house for a chat
Though I wasn’t displeased 
When he coughed and he sneezed
I was miffed when he swallowed my cat
He said “ I am frightfully sorry, 
It isn’t like me to do that
You must think me a hog
For I much prefer dog
Or a rodent like rabbit or rat”...

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...

You ask those questions why
Head and Hands and spirit races
towards the skies
Unequivocal
A man speaks of promises
He raised much questions he's an alarmist
Well poised well-spoken man a politician
Devout
His specialist is attrition
To erase the nation
Does prominence is dominated by Satan



Unequivocal

Google understands
Me
You
may not, but Google does
So does Alexa
If I had another daughter
I would name her Alexa
What I imagine Alexa to look like...
brown hair, olive skin, glasses,
5"5',  petite, green eyes, casually
dressed in khaki's, polite, and well-spoken
But, what are the voice commands?
"I love you like a love song baby"
The singer is in Hawaii in her bathing suit
Selena Gomez- "Wolves" 
My deceased grandmother's name was Lupe
It means wolves...

Listen! Do you hear lost voices of reason?
They are distinct sounds dimly perceived,
Mingling among a cacophony of mindless
Ideas and thinly disguised platitudes.
Some are out-and-out misrepresentations
Sounding like virtuous words well-spoken,
But are a phony patter passing for truth.
Who can tell what is truth ‘midst clamor?

It’s so easy to love the loveable
Those that smell wonderful
They are well spoken
Mannerly
Have the same religious beliefs 
Political beliefs
Possibly close to the same economic status

But what of the unlovable
They may smell offensive
They may be too loud or too crude
Rude
No religion,
Conflicting political views
Poor and without status
Dressed oddly
And quite possibly scary
And outside your norm

Whatever you do 
To the least of these
You do unto Christ
Does that make it easier...
