Harmless
as a rock dove,
yet shrewd and worldly wise-
but forswearing pretext,pretence
and lies....

Amelia Earhart's Leather Jacket
Leather jacket cloaked
upon shoulders worldly wise
together they lay
within the Pacific floor.
New Year gift to keep her dry.

Letter With Ribbon
Letter that implies
Hidden message without words
Sealed with a ribbon
And saved in a wood drawer
Written with worldly wise words

Awakening 7
Do we not know
Sad pulse that sums
Our shallow show
Of bleak outcomes
So mad swirls sad
For worldly wise
As touch turns bad
For touchy vice

Simple Simon
fontanel invites, grace in-pours
crown, oh hermit, the secret door
worldly wise souls, haven’t a clue
simple Simon alone gets through
imbibing boundless bliss galore

Troublesome Kid
He was a troublesome kid,
Who punched the others and hid
If this wasn't safe, off slid
To be of reprisals rid...
Venturesome troublesome kid,
Who pot distances from lid
And could 12:00 pm from Mid;
A Life of the Twisty Grid
A street wise worldly - wise kid,
Who torched things and asked "who did?"
Nigeria's Grid of A kid?....

In Praise of Cheeses
At breakfast time, don’t give me eggs
Or pancakes or French toast;
Some coffee and a cheese-topped bagel
Is what I like most.
Gouda, Muenster, Edam, Swiss,
American or Brie;
Jarlsberg, Asiago, Jack –
They all work fine for me.
I’m not a fan of smelly ones,
And blue cheese I despise;
I guess I’m more pedestrian
And not so worldly-wise.
But still, I’d like to offer praise
To every type that pleases;
The world would be a sadder place
If it did not have cheeses....

Genesis of Prejudice
Birth
found us
in this world,
free and unbound,
embracing all souls
with carefree abandon,
in aspect of playfulness,
having no hidden agenda,
forgiving one and all easily,
epitomising blissful existence.
Growing up, ego became manifest,
silencing our hearts love pulsation,
thus shifting into narrowness,
becoming callous and crude
worldly wise at the cost
of stifling hearts love,
now ghostly form,
mere shadow
of our
soul.

Then Leave Love and Sex
Things weren’t happening his way sex-wise
With a first lover damned worldly-wise,
A strange second with spiritual eyes,
A third who wouldn’t lie belly-wise
And a fourth wanting, first, some big prize:
Some kind of “Can’t you see my size
Or have your eyes been telling you lies?
‘Not smart trying a fifth who’s street-wise,
Rougher, tougher, still as worldly-wise;
‘A week with her to be heard your cries.’
Then, really the wise things: to leave sex
Cancel a meeting on it with Alex....
