Premium MemberShrewd Resonance Rimas Dissolutas

There was no room for her honesty,
words turned from a false narrative;
Witnessing the start of this sham
birthed a brand new breed of justice;

Bustling bonfires burn so brightly;  
Stay and fight? Her prerogative;
She stole back a stolen rhythm
just to toss in shrewd resonance;

Gospel sung from her diaphragm,
uttered in such sweet defiance.

in a manor of time it will tell
it's been so reconciled
it's hard to tell anymore
not s scull set up on a stump
sold separately no gun
but a tall tale on web buy now black market
but fishes fishes in your suit case and back pack 
can't believe your eye
fishes fishes that fall from the sky
it's a wonder

Be Shrewd To Be Rescued

Don't hastily conclude,
All the facts, you include
By being always shrewd,
Have a pleasant mood,
Toward none, be rude,
Approach be not crude,
Wisely if you have viewed,
Mysteries, you can denude,
Life must be improved,
Talents must be proved,
Our skill must be improved,
We must be by all approved,
Bad things must be removed,
If we have properly moved,
Defeats can be eschewed!

Crisis

Few odd kilometers now
In this short walk.
The feet all sore
And the mind, sulk.
"Who knows where the park is
Or when the time to bed is?"

The brain is full of shade.
The head needs its shrewd.
If the mouth won't say,
The body would.
"Is it permissible to be in the restroom?
One needs to be at ease, soon."

Thinking, "out of ten,

Premium MemberHero of An Hour

Today ignorance uttered words in the court of kings,
as we waited too long for coruscation of brilliancy, 
serendipity smiled on nescient,
and crowned rebellion for one hour.

utterances from idle lips ,
foist on  passerby along nature’s path,
As filthy rebel from the woodcock progeny,
Spoke with grandeur of betise.  
suspense graced the rage of arrogance,  

Today

Of Death the Shrewd Peoples

People
those who actually are lazy, useless,
people
those who want to live only on his/her meditation,
people
those who want to enjoy this life on others shoulders,
people
those who live in holy places only by reciting the scriptures 
without any other work,
people
those who think that contemplation of religion is the best policy
for afterlife,
people
those who avoid these earthly activities 
but enjoys

A Shrewd While Rude and Crude Dude

A Shrewd While Rude and Crude Dude

Matt Whitaker for sure.

As can be, Whitaker has really been shrewd,
And we should toss in lewd as well as crude;
In came;
Brain lame;
An ignorant, inept and outright dumb dude.

Jim Horn

My analysis of Whitaker before his hearing
which ain't too good.

Shrewd

Nothing much in the bar,
This man from yonder,
His alien, adulterated accent
Sets the bar in stitches,
Yet,
He whines for a twenty,
For a stick of smoke,
He egresses for a minute,
In a corner secluded,
He pulls out a pack,
Snatches a cigarette, lights it,
Enters the bar smoking,
I am just peeping with my peepers,
Mouth shut,
Another round of stitches,
He approaches another,
He egresses again.

So Shrewd Horn Haiku

So Shrewd Horn Haiku

If he was so shrewd,
How can he ever be rude
Pretty interlude.

Serve peace a la mode
And for justice have a code
Never let erode.

Like my peace served straight
The we all can celebrate
Best to not be late.

With God peace survives
Exists in all of our lives
He never deprives.

A point I might miss
Gender analysis is
A paralysis.

With myself

The Shrewd Gambler

Propensity sparks
Betting in numbers to win
Probable goals failed.

Tried bet once more though
Best loved numbers didn't hit
Long waited win ends.

Money for other things
Risking bet to win some more 
Awake while asleep.

Dreamt came before dawn
Whilst numbers gone out boxes
Jotted down traces.

Shrewd Gambler wandered
Vivid signs pooped up in mind
Winning is losing.

Shrewd and Brash

How does one survive among legendary and wealthy men
by being shrewd and brash?
Be a menacing wolf, not a fearful lamb!
Learn their secret to unleash power and you'll win!


How did Trump and gates amass riches
by inheritance or using their heads?
Fill up your piggy jar to the rim: a hundred pennies make a dollar,
and by adding nickels

Mister Shrewd Eyes

You would think that I would try
To be a little more cautious,

And I commend those who can.
Yet I can’t help that I get a little…
  Stupefied 
    Mystified 
      Completely Mesmerized
When you get that gaze in your eyes.

I know what that look means.
It’s a frequency that

Eagles Beak , Shrewd Peek...

Sharp piercing eyes with far searching light
Familiar with the basic rule of fittest survive
Prey bird knows well to use its keen eyesight
Water bodies not just their abode but a guide
Their soaring style matches with swift air tide
Each hour a battle of sea for living is a fight
Bird of prey raging high with forehead bright
Esteem inside
