John Sensele Poems

Treat your partner right
Despite years of familiarity
Unless you desire increase in your plight
Which comes fast on wings of celerity and wands of severity.
...

My life is a roller coaster
I ride for maximum adrenalin
As I traverse a trampoline toaster
To accelerate my dose of dopamine.
...

Mom, thank you for enabling my birth
Despite dangers of gestation
Despite risks and roadblocks to your good health
Above all, I'm beholden to you for your mountain of devotion and attention.
...

The scorn men pour on women singes
Bonds that bind grooms to the brides
They claim to love when love limps on its hinges
As brides tire of tenuous tirades and risible rides.
...

Express gratitude if magnets get to your planet
To light up your days
As you escape the drudgery dragnet
Whether he sways, stays or strays.
...

Hope always hovering in heads
That sometimes blink, clink, sink and wink into despair
Once people thump fists and jump from beds
Where they claim life's leisure and pleasure aren't fair.
...

Adware adventurers adopt adroit attitudes
Quit kicking your carcass
Keep culling pesky platitudes
Or else trouble in tonnes you'll amass with much fuss.
...

Burnt bridges break bonds
When minds driven by selfishness
Turn into vagrants or vagabonds
With neither care for closeness nor happiness.
...

In the nick of time, feelings feel empty
When words weave worms
That echo Humpty Dumpty
In a sentimental setting that squirms.
...

Celebrate the gift of life, John
God bequeathed on Anne over six decades ago
To launch lofty luminaries his plan in a zeal zone
Where you landed in a competence and confidence cargo.
