I do not try to be suave
Cordial
Diplomatic
Or polished
I am not a lady
I am me
Rough
Raw
Honest
Abrupt
And sometimes rude
It is a giant relief
Being tact-free
Sense tact
Move deep pact
To act
A sure fact
Feel grace
Touch your face
To ace
A clear space
Cast spell
As thought gels
Fine dwell
That heart tells
Glimpse light
In fond sight
As flight
Streams touch right
Purge fear
As breeze clears
Now here
Greet grand cheer

Tact Is a Virtue
I Don’t Possess
Written: by Tom Wright
3/9/2018
Being tactful isn’t a trait you’ll often see me use,
I’m just a man who always speaks his mind.
Some consider my lack to border mental abuse,
And at times, others may think, I’m being unkind.
I say things to avoid any misunderstanding,
Perhaps at times I come across as being brash.
Though voice may rise it won’t be demanding,
And I’ve stored many “comebacks” in my cache.
If it makes you feel better just pick me apart,
For my having a backbone or my being bold;
For the things I’ve said originated in my heart,
When God finished me He obsoleted that mold.
The sore winner, bested by a gracious defeat.

Act thus firm tact
To mellow pact
Toy with fine ploy
To fling pure joy
Words in sure ease
Can touch true peace
Be mindful how
You live right now
Here all things rhyme
In love’s good time
Live time and space
In light and grace
Now sense soul free
All that you see
Tact fashions act
To grow sound fact

Just saying my canary was alive before you got here
Could it be your perfume? No offence to you, my dear
Common sense has eluded me
Need more tact I agree
Should have said, you're prettier that you appear!
Quatrain #813:
TACT
Think with fine grace the way of light,
Act with sure face with heart set right;
Choice helps you trace each moment now,
Truth knows a place where love moves flight.

Quatrain #806:
TACT
Truth has a way to bring you light,
Ask then each day for a clear sight;
Choice moves fond play as blessings come,
Think, do and say with tact most bright.

Sculpt pact
Frame tact
Time toys
Primes ploy
Live light
Glimpse sight
Wise will
Joy heals
Cheer rains
Clears pain
Live loud
Know proud
Heart knows
Soul shows
End well
Start tells
Feel poise
Spur voice
Be still
Set feel
Now act
Style fact

Truth has a way to shine a light,
Allow bold gaze to know beauty;
Choice greets clear say with pristine sight,
Trust can amaze what love sets free.
Sense touch worthwhile in hidden things,
Work well the feel of tapestry;
Intuit wise style that nature springs,
Note how time heals to let things be;
Grace forfeits gain to help you grow,
Surpass kind wit and learn to dance.
Pleasure and pain now ebb and flow,
Ask soul to fit both change and chance;
Calm and clear cause confronts conflict,
Taste tensile toss that thrills topic.

Tact works fine act
Right words weave fact
Act feeds fine tact
Right wit strings fact
~~~~~~~~~
Feed thought that seeds
Feed a calm need
Seed wit that feeds
Weed out vain greed
~~~~~~~~~
Thought can string naught
Knot nurtures nought
Think happy thoughts
Lot feeds the plot
~~~~~~~~~
See what you see
Free just to be
Be who you see
See what will be
~~~~~~~~~
Come heed the psalm
Sum voice that hums
Psalm spreads a balm
Calm cheers life's sum

Be mindful now
Of words that come
For thought endows
A potent sum
In treasured tact
For thoughts are things
That work a pact
Word arrows spring
Cause that must act.

Drifter...how does it filter
I wonder wher you sit and lift her up in your arms
I ponder and am strongly considering the harm
You are one with me
I am completely singled out but alone I definitely am without a doubt, not
I think I forgot
wait a minute...constantly am I with it
where am I going and singing and flowing by the river.? what am I doing
silver drifter
Constantly wood and golden
I strive to be with the world and ratio
Pi
Filter sensational
Conversations
I filter nothing
I am with it
Fib
And I live it
O
I can't believe it
Not
am I allowed to see it
Chi
is what flows out of my head on the pages and instead is erased by the ragers
I question you
Do you know the phages
I constantly am impressed
immersed and constant
I am flawless
completely awed by your touch
I love this.
