Wary Poems | Examples

Wary Glances are Cast;

Wary glances are cast;
They look at me now
But by tomorrow -
I'll be as dispersed vapor.

If rumors shot bullets -
I'd be in the grave.
Thank you, Lord – I'm alive
But I wonder, what for?

Wary of coitus interruptus

She cried out, “Coitus interruptus!?
That don't work unless the pulling out precise and abrupt is!
But you always tend to be a millisecond too late!
And if we get child number eight,
that would totally bankrupt us!"

Az Salome's dance
          front
         Herod
           she
With hern mitts up
        sinuous
   with seductive
      Hern firm
      Petitioned
         mine 


    I breathed in
         Deep

        Shook
 
         then 
       bid her
       shalom

Eat, Drink, But Be Wary

"eat, drink, but be wary"


i should begin 
when i opened 

that bottle of jinn
an evil genie within 

with breath
of juniper

stranded on
a ship built in
an empty bottle

the evil is not 
the jinn tempting 

me to let him 
out but for 

me to 
come 

in

This intensive cat
   — with night-gray fur —
Steps out wary
   — as if the grass
     had turned to tacks…
Alert to find
   — that!
The strange noise 
   — startled!
Breaking a nap!

Jan You Wary

The Russians, of course, think its cool
To jump in an icy-cold pool
But I'm not a fool
And made a Mule Rule:
Dive only where warmth greets my tool!

Be Wary

Be wary of that trap once set
  —for yourself

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)

The British sky is seldom blue
And love divine is seldom true
But come on, girl!
Give life a whirl
There'll never be another you!

The Wary Cat and the Hungry Dog

The cat eyed the dog, warily
   The dog licked his lips, hungrily
The cat backed away, tremulously
   The dog edged forward, intimidatingly

The cat retreated faster, alarmedly
   The dog zeroed in on her, aggressively
The cat let out a screech, panic-strickenly
   The dog leaped for her throat, murderously

Let's pause this video clip, momentarily
   And ask a couple questions, inquisitively
Why did the dog want to kill the cat, instinctively
   And why didn't the cat beat a hastier retreat, curiously...

       (Please click to restart the clip)

The dog paused in mid-air, hesitatingly
   The cat sighed a little sigh, relievedly
The dog smiled a faint smile, sheepishly
   The cat me-owed once, tentatively

The dog's smiled widened, perceptibly
   The cat shed a tear, joyously
The dog hugged the cat, lovingly
   The cat basked in his embrace, snuggly

Be Wary

You'll see, when he's done with two of you, 
When he's finally through with you.

Be Wary of January

J   ust too cold outside for man or beast
A  bsolutely freezing in the bedroom at night
N  ot interested in building a snowman, thanks
U  nwilling to feign interest in 'bobsledding'
A  nother gloomy, cheerless day, so depressing
R  ead, read, read one's way through the month
Y  ear in, year out, it's a pitched battle for survival

Be Wary

Dark alleyways loom,
Within the dreamtime cities;
Foreboding horrors;
Of which I dare not mention.
Beware alleyways of mind.

Limerick Be Wary

Busty lusty was dusty
Fiesty fairy musty
Along came Flirty
Looking all dirty
Randy Rusty got gusty!

Battle Wary

I can't stay here...
nightmares, eating me alive.
Living jar, full of demons.
Humanity can't possibly survive.
Finding interactions painful,
pushing me to hide.
I cry often now.
I can't hold anymore inside.
Craving beauty,
I just want to live in art.
Where did the destroyer go?
Did my protective layer depart?
True strength found in weakness,
I no longer need my pride.
A view angry and narrow
continues growing ever wide.
This life, now only saddens me.
Ive seen more than most men should.
The pain and ugliness defeated some.
I saved the ones that I could.
I'm sorry for the young ones.
The ones I laid to rest.
I grieve the forgotten.
I swear I gave you my best.
To the man, woman, or child
I will never lay a hand on.
Promise of a legacy left,
to care for you, when I'm gone.
I don't like many people.
Increasingly a man, solitary.
Forgive me my future rest.
I have just grown battle weary.

Wary As One

Wary as one is, but merry nonetheless.

Heavy, once, my heart was but now all is cheery.

I know I have the cherry, though I shall

not tarry too long.
