John Sensele Poems

Memories of twenty seventeen linger
Shafts of shimmer from twenty eighteen beckon
For all creatures of credibility to lift a finger
As a token of appreciation a mellifluous morn to own.
...

A new year bestows hope
Promises new pages
Sliding on a salient slope
Where the wise earn deserved wages.
...

Fake news, fake views
Garnered from a single source
Blown out of proportion with no clues
As to whether views add to a ridiculous resource, of course.
...

Don't repine, redefine
Priorities and possibilities
That in the long run mine
On your behalf a plethora of utilities.
...

In this festive season, give anger a one-way ticket
Give jealousy a kick
Lock up temper in a bucket
Above all, make envy sick.
...

Last lap, last clap
Leaves loathing behind
Loosens liberty on a love lap
To save the kind, the blind and humankind.
...

If new year clones the repast
It devoured yesterday
The present no better than the past
It's time to kneel and pray.
...

Further into foibles than fables
Forlorn for too long
When the best of efforts can't turn tables
Only course of action-remain strong.
...

Bash bottlenecks, bless beauty
Command comradeship
Punish poverty
Depend upon the authority of authorship.
...

Loneliness lives in the mind
Where a wench feels alone
When a wanderer a wand blind and unkind
With no reason to condone a zodiac zone.
...
