Holidays are meant to be significant for enjoyment!
The problem is that the proposal for engagement is met with pure blissful ignorance!
Denying my words for a union of an engagement!
Was wrong as you lied to a person that wanted to build a bridge based on acceptance!
Stay within the confounds of your status as you will not live in bliss!
You focused on a symptom of similarities and not of outwardness!
Due to your lies and ignorance I am not inclined to change your status to misses from miss!
I am a man that when given the chance will go to straightforwardness!
You gave up on improvement!
You would rather be in denial!
It is sad that you would not look at me as a form of improvement
You look at your future in a form of a person that likes to see the truth of being a person that likes to beguile!
Enjoy your stupidity and go forth!
Honestly Speaking
Frankly speaking one's candor
Has put me in some uncomfortable
Situations. Honestly Speaking
For instance, correcting someone of
The spelling of my name. Honestly Speaking
I often address my feelings of confusion,
Tension, chaos. Honestly Speaking
Often feel discounted, taken advantage of,
And not appreciated. Honestly Speaking
I'm not an attention-seeker nor do I prefer to chase
Anyone who sees my self-worth is also valuable.
Honestly Speaking
My straightforwardness in my process seems to
Hinder me for not being unpretentious. Honestly
Speaking
A straight line, laity,
And crooked one quite weighty,
In topsy-turvy
A poetic metre’s world,
Friend, why be such a straight bird?
And why so long winding
Where a crooked line softness shows,
One straight, harshness and stress,
In world of woes, oh warped that goes,
Where a crooked line softness shows—
In such an awkward world of woes,
What use straightforwardness
Where a crooked line softness shows,
One straight, harshness and stress!

Poet’s note: What Tanka takes five short and sweet lines, a Triolet takes eight and longer ones.
strange how the ones who bend over backwards ~ are truly the most upright
By David Kavanagh
At this very moment lost in life, predictability
Mind is a mess chaos reigns, steadfastness
Fighting with myself shut out, convertibility
Not through lack of confidence, faithlessness.
Honesty best policy was perfect, vulnerability
Perceived to be bureaucratic, crookedness
Looking into blind darkness is not, gullibility
Rather an inclination to, open-mindedness.
Fatalistic properties impress on, observability
Eternal bliss unlikely basis, straightforwardness
My own admission incurred veto, ineligibility
Life’s knowledge diminishes to backwardness.
Into the abyss keeps tumbling, infallibility
Round and round remorselessness
I’m tired now must keep sleeping, insatiability
In the morning truth is coming, unpreparedness.
Executioner asks any last words, foreseeability
And then comes the answer, breathlessness.

Some people always have false impressions
In their intricately folded, convoluted brains
Associating Kindness with Weakness;
Thinking of Straightforwardness as of Stupidity
Making it form of mental sickness of the mind;
Not appreciating or comprehending either.
Instead, preferring Callousness to Others
Sprinkled with Mindless Lies - to top it all off.
Why should I care if sharing my truth causes offense?
In a world of shadow, is it not the one worthwhile defense?
For the Couplets Contest.
