John Sensele Poems

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

A vicious virus is striking
While we cavort in our blindness
Our wellbeing no havoc is wreaking
We pursue an agenda of unkindness
...

Muppet master
Bragging broadcaster
Eat humble pie
Emit an obsequious sigh
...

News from the frontline sounds grim
Death numbers doubled in New York
Reality stoic minds can't trim
Neither can the smell of death cheat the stork
...

Hazmat suits nowhere in sight
Fear and frenzy fondle the plight
They feel in wards teeming with debilitated dwellers
Screaming in pain surrounded by trembling revellers
...

Cooped up in the sitting room
Bored stiff
Take time yourself to groom
But indulge no mischief
...

Beware not of the darkness of light
Fear the light of tinted glasses
You conceal in during sunlight
Assuming to you will come no minuses
...

Beware not of the darkness of light
Fear the light of tinted glasses
You conceal in during sunlight
Assuming to you will come no minuses
...

We can't hug and kiss friends
In observing corona virus social distance
We should innovate social demonstration trends
In this unusual circumstance and instance
...

Grandpa's brains never once gave me stripes
When over meals I nitpicked...tripes
Detesting the taste and sight of tomato
Grandpa said is a good health motto
...
