Tentative Poems


Tentative Questions With Definite Answers

It was today, that wasn't so good for me.
multiple decades possibly washed away.
family means everything but i'm a terrible brother.
a horrendous friend who ran from life once lived.
to pastures green and new.
when all that was left behind was those who needed me.
and now I feel needed more than before i left.
there's a guilt there, no

Premium MemberTentative Tempests

Why must I beg pardon? 
Has been our great question;
When you and I battle,
Vessels at home rattle; 

I say yes; you say no,
Matters so silly though;
I swear; you swear; sourly,
Dogs and cats laugh wholly...

You are old; I am old,
Our looks have turned ice-cold;
Ego, yet, like a spring,
In us, plays monarch-swing...

When we ask each other,
At end

Scale mosaic tail lays gracefully draped over rock
Sumptuous hip width to skin graduates
Saturated waist trailing tendrils touched by moss
Silk mermaid nautical languor eminates
Sorrow in inhibit, love's absence induces her sobs


Vanguard calmly addresses the depths with probe
Weaving seemlessly amongst seaweed 
Gentle marina mistress, Clementine reserves hope
For a qualified merman, in love succeed
Tugged subtly by tides of

Premium MemberTentative and Unrefined

My poems have me musing with my muse:
inking new phrases, so I don't reuse.
And to make obscure words sound sensible:
a thesaurus is indispensable.

Each and every line conceived in my mind
gets roughed in, tentative, and unrefined.
And to broaden my vocabulary,
I consult a rhyming dictionary.

And as verses form through perseverance,
a brand-new poem makes its appearance.

Premium MemberTentative

Walk calmly here
Seize wise good cheer


Face each fear then
Make fear your friend


Fit well fine wit
Taste timeless bits


Cheer knows happy
Make fear snappy


Each moment dies
With high and sigh


Cry if you must
When true love rusts


To transcend all
Rise when you fall


Judge not with hate
Love's never late


Do your best here
For love endears


Tentative moods
Unfurl some good


In this haystack
Take time to slack


Too

A Tentative Peek

To you I profess care,
True or untrue rests in you fair,
What runs inside you I know not rare?
But surely did not come in a moment thread-bare.
At and all times like this,
To allay all shackles,
That, with hope, does not express by pyre.

Do I choose to join, this Poetic Dance
To reveal my soul, to take this chance
I am left to wonder, who will care
If my life is charmed, or full of despair

I release my emotions, to the page
The good the sad, the parts with rage
The pen gets started, revealing each part
A stitched together, healed broken heart

Like many

Tentative

Consider a moment, 
Tentative steps.
Perhaps they seem new 
and an uncharted realm,
requiring a measure of time 
to truly remember how to walk 
a path that leads to happiness.

Glance at the citadels' walls
which you have built over time, 
to protect your hearts desires.
Do you really comprehended,
its image, stature and strength 
from the other side of perception?

Is
