John Sensele Poems

I won't call you man-eater
Although hubby calls you kitchen quitter
In view of the deception in perception
To which you've accorded a warm reception
...

Seasons like these redefine our moral compass
Measures like these ensure to next generations we pass
A torch that burns bright
To stand by beliefs we deem right.
...

Tears from my eyes I cry
Fears from my mind I fry
When for comfort my illusion I entertain
Shielding the delusion in public I sustain
...

Return the innocence from me you stole
When for dessert you precipitated my fall
To gratify your ebullient ego
Metamorphosing me into a caricature cargo
...

Don't deny me your shoulders
When I'm weighed down by life's boulders
Fragmenting into particles
You can write into my ability articles
...

Don't deny me your shoulders
When I'm weighed down by life's boulders
Fragmenting my fabric into particles
You can write into my ability articles
...

Mice and men condemned twice to pay a platonic price
Lip ice and women created to display spices thrice
In a world women rule
Where men sometimes play the fool
...

Dreams suppressed for too long scream
Feelings frozen for too long acquire vim in a ream
Imploding inside
Exploding outside
...

When education cheats kill on a horrid hill
Miseducation they distill and quality English away they peel
In crippled classes they promote
Education quality in several ways they demote
...

On a poetry pedestal
Your works stood tall
Remembering you didn't toil in vain
When increasingly you drank your rain
...
