Shrewdly Poems

Precious

There is something mysterious about her
for to others, she's not what she seems
she does not speak, or talk to all others
they don't see, in her heart, all her dreams

when she looks at the sky, she cries
for it's beauty.. never dies.. or lies
she's the smallest of birds like a wren
and is gentle, speaks in love, is her scent

but she is cautious of dangers, is beware
but can carry the stormiest wind,  on her wings
and her love,  is like softest white feathers
but is fragile, so tiny...so precious

she swoops down to drink in earth beauty
and all of its wonderous things
she'll not talk,  but will go on continually
hears Gods music, it's love , but is shrewdly

for she wants to live life , in earths wonderous strings
like the harp , that it's harmony brings
she cant talk, but feels...everything
and hears music, it's then her voice, sings

and when he finally hears her, he see's
what he could not, or would not, see before
for it's a love, for her God...she believes
it's the music , in her heart.........................he adores

Premium MemberDear Old Heather


(Inspired by Silent One's limerick,  "Queen Of Her Stage" ) 

There once was a canary full of rage.
Who shrewdly trapped a sly cat in her cage.
without a feather ruffled
Kittie's meows he muffled,
she now ruled the roost as queen of her stage!

There was a time when Kittie was nasty 
oh that little one could be quite feisty 
but now she eats truffles 
without any cuddles 
she sits behind bars eating nothing tasty

There once was a cat who ruffled Tweet's feather  
a Kittie from hell who could never tether 
sometimes they did  fight
who was wrong who was right  
the only one who knew was dear old Heather   !

Premium MemberChasing a Leprechaun

Through thickened woods and thorny brush
I chased the elf in silenced hush
Around intoxicating pines
And mossy-covered hanging vines
Taking care to mark the way 
With petals dropped from rose bouquet
My distance safe from prying eyes
And forest creatures’ wilding cries

I stalked the fairy to his lair
With visions of the gold we’d share
I’d lie in wait and pounce at will
And marvel at my stealthy skill
Finally, his hideaway
Nestled deep in green decay
Nothing left to do but wait
And dream about my wealthy fate

The leprechaun began his work
Upon his face, the strangest smirk
But still he toiled with tools and nails
Evoking lovely olden tales
He cut and stitched a dozen shoes
The crafty work, a clever ruse
For soon his suit of green did fade
Together with his sly charade

The tap, tap, tap, a lullaby 
Beneath the starry moonlit sky
My dreams of fortune quickly gone
Replaced by sunny rays of dawn
The cagey man was smart and swift
And left me with a parting gift
A pair of shoes so shrewdly soled
With dazzling heels of gleaming gold

Premium MemberIt's-killing-us

The coldness of your methodical emptiness
shrewdly poisoned me with a darkness
Unavoidable.
I'll make it, some how.
You tainted me with rugged blood,
I saw it splatter over the spacious past unto
The nihilistic future of all saints and devils.
But, why?
There's something to your non verbal speech 
I'd love to find out.
We listen to your silence
The very thing that permeates our surroundings.
And find utter nothingness.
You committed suicide,
We won't make it if you are sleeping on the job.
Somehow, we believe you rose from hellfire, 
Yet still flagrantly asleep in a world where you
Never existed.
Explain this corruption now breathing in our veins?
And if it's all the same to non-existent you,
It's killing us just the same.

Late Explorer John Beecroft

Why do these guys quit before seventy?
After achievements Life on Earth empty!
There was to be a Macgregor Laird:
Before sixty-one years to rest laid...

For my avid interest in History,
I could not but alight on his story
With its private message from Greatness
"No, Mystery, no Magic: Eagerness!"

What had he shrewdly done: John Beecroft?
In their Britain left behind a voice soft
To in far-off lands hold her goals aloft
While him Portugal, Spain and, sure, France scoffed;
In West Africa's Fernando Po
Seeing that The Non British did lines toe:
In Nigeria's captured Bight of Benin
Ensuring that his men got their Quinine;
I reckon in the close Bight of Biafra
Giving out British bags not of raffia!

I could have for John Beecroft my hat doffed,
Just that when I last tried a patriot coughed.

Strange News From Florida

The alligators will not stay in the water,
they head for strip malls, for chicken noodle joints
or sports bars for fish taco or spicy wings.
They get their nails done in a Korean salon
paying in Spanish gold.

The two legged; 
the cranes, herons, and humans
edge around the gators.
Occasionally, rowdy boys bounce stones off 
their scaly hides.
The unflappable crocodilians slyly grin 
for they are ecologically moving-in.
Shrewdly, the reptiles are styling 
alligator belts and boots, or sell gator skin handbags 
from wayside stalls and booths.

The Floridians have become inured
to these green interlopers. Some seeing opportunity, 
rent them housings with few tenancy rules
and ‘must have’ pools.
Sadly many furry pets keep going missing;
and not just the Cypress trees are stumped.

It’s a new era, one to be nearer together.
Undocumented or free-range, no longer estranged.
but one shared love for chicken, be it raw, fried 
or grill flamed.

Destroy Worry and Deploy Joy

Spend your time with great joy
All available skill, you deploy
Reveal to the World your mind
Where solutions, let them find

Never worry, instead feel happy
Regard life as a lovely trophy
Follow contentment always
Take to the Lord your case

Move with the World wisely
Tell them your goal precisely
Waver not dear in your action
Let your act bring satisfaction

Supply to the World happiness
By sanctioning peace in surplus
Love all and guide all shrewdly
Tell them soothing words loudly

Trust humanity without vanity
Strive for development of unity
Degrade not anyone for error
An Angel in all you discover

Extend support by being a friend
Lead a perfect life till life's end
God will come and give solace
He will heal in inscrutable ways.

Everyone Is a Poet, I Strongly Bet

Evert poet follows a different style
Writing excellently showing a variety
We must appreciate their individuality
As wonderful news they finely mail
 
Poets must vary in all the ways widely
Then only classic  poems will emerge
In deep ecstasy we all can submerge
May poets of this World muse shrewdly
 
Never criticize poets blaming their write
As that may spoil wholly their originality
We must always encourage creativity
As every poet, we must with love knight
 
 Poetry is open to all to be wisely used
It is not at all a private affair of a group
Any person in poetry writing can top
In case he has with great talent mused
 
Please write poetry and actively participate
Express your heart through a broad mind
Everything peaceful, make this World find
A superlative poem, from you I anticipate.

Do Duty, Says the Almighty

The Almighty will take care of us
We must pray by being only true
Our job, we must properly render
We must take efficient steps

We can never blame God at any time
As that is not the correct procedure
God is there to give us safety cover
And supply the best for us shrewdly
 
God must not be by us misunderstood
We cannot do bad things via prayer
As that is impossible and insensible
We must have a highly noble intention
 
Praying is a way of giving representation
Taking action is also our incumbent duty
But, obliging our prayer is God’s job
We cannot force or eagerly anticipate

When a prayer is done, matter is conveyed
After that we must proceed to concentrate
If results warm our heart, we stand to win
Or else, we must console our mind wisely.

God's Angels Bless Noble Individuals

God will carefully study the happenings
And shrewdly monitor played innings

He will deeply muse to arrive at the truth
And tackle strongly that which is uncouth

He will bless the good and curse the bad
And save those if nobility is by them had

He will treat with kindness magnanimity
And punishes those following enmity

He cares not for the riches possessed
But, by love, all are by Him assessed

God's goal is to maintain pure happiness
That is why God is enjoying uniqueness

God and His Angels protect all the souls
Who are in pursuit of highly merciful goals

Those who depend upon Him with love
Are rescued by Him with a strong vow

Always God's intention is to do a favor
His heart is like the soft petal of a flower

God and His Divinity are ever trustworthy
They will provide ever the needed sympathy

Go to God and offer a prayer touching His feet
He will greet with a benign act to kindly treat.

Let Kind Word Be Delivered

Be kind and considerate without getting anger
Use soft words, but be firm in your decision
Due to your calmness, you turn then stronger
This helps you surely excel in your mission
Because of your manners, you lose no longer
Success and money come to your possession
Choose words wisely and deliver them properly
Use not words that show that you are disorderly
Produce for all peace by behaving not poorly
He who avoids a fight ever has the upper hand
As he insults none, but drives clearly the point
Feelings of others, he does kindly understand
As a result none he will in life badly disappoint
On troubles, he will never at all just wrongly land
As wit and wisdom, he does very shrewdly appoint.

Facts Or Lies, Just Analyze

Whatever you may hear
Is not now final my dear
One can cheat your ear
Truth may hide very near

Never believe in what is said
Let musing happen in head
Just by saying "daily bread"
Stomach cannot be fed

By skillfully concocting a rumor
Into your ears one may murmur
It may be provided with glamor
Here comes reasoning grammar

Your ears, never close at all
Grasp whatever others disclose
Please exhibit an innocent pose
Valuable news, all will expose

Analyze the received message
Scan every possible advantage
Let no news cause any damage
Your life you shrewdly manage.

How To Be Wise and Nice

If we forget noble friends
And stay with no regrets
One day we will lose them
Due to our careless mind

If we shrewdly use time
And distribute it equitably
Our success is assured
We get in life victory

If we know to postpone
When our mood is low
We end all heart-breaks
And pave a safe route

If we take extra steps
To stabilize our mind
We escape from gloom
Due to our wise action

If we utilize time carefully
By giving to all attention
We are in a safe position
As our joy is then intact

Let us ignore none at all
By taking honest efforts
If we keep ourselves busy
We surely achieve a lot

Perfect discipline helps
It rescues us from losses
We give the World the best
We usefully live on Earth

If laziness we drive away
If peace we evenly spread
If we make all get love
We form a paradise

If we tolerate kindly
If we offer assistance
If we chant a prayer
We purify this Earth

Our stay will one day end
Before that let us be noble
We must give all happiness
Before we quit this globe.

Bliss Delivered By a Kind Word

See what to do next to rectify
Don't brood over past losses
Wisely prevent them via wisdom
This is the way to gain success

Surely there will be a fine way
To enable you to end all failures
Once you detect that way to solve
Your happiness is firmly insured

Take into account every advice
But, before implementing them
Use your brain and heart fully
A remedy will then come out

People are eager to give advice
But, it is left to us to take it
We must never lose our peace
By landing into a huge trouble

If we develop an analytical mind
We can take adequate steps rightly
And grab the solution skillfully
To enable us to lead a happy life

Prayer is surely a powerful force
That may equip our mind strongly
If we shrewdly take its support
We can face any hurdle boldly

Efforts and prayer are two oars
By using which we can handle tears
Our bliss is in our possession only
Be aware of it and lead life nicely.
