John Sensele Poems

Human nature sometimes stumbles
Frailty winning the battle
Wallowing in mumbles and grumbles
Indulging in tittle tattle.
...

Don't throw the baby with the bathwater
When a clumsy associate somehow steps on your toes
Because insinuations and recriminations portray your attitude no better
Than the magnitude of platitudes and vicissitudes of your foes.
...

In a poetry pot stew words to inspire
Vintage works from Pablo Neruda, William Shakespeare
Metaphors and similes from Angelou Maya
Romantic verses from Lord Byron to set hearts on fire.
...

Don't play with fire
If you live in glassy grooves
Where Innuits tire with the ire
Whose moves you can't mine from hallucination hooves.
...

Brave girls demand to pay for any services they receive
Brave girls defend their dignity, their pride and their honour
Insisting on very high standards of probity, decorum and achieve
Results by dint of diligence, placing a low premium on gazing at a mirror.
...

No haste in your quest to taste
Her joy and deploy
A sound strategy to paste
Your toys and employ
...

Ah! If I behave I could save
Myself a myriad headaches
To reach rich records relatives have
Achieved with neither stomachaches nor toothaches
...

Witchcraft, you're a pesky pimple
That messes up the face of Africa
Which aspires to brandish a nimble dimple
Admired in Jamaica, in America
...

The heart driven by compassion
Beats in tune with the plight
The poor ponders in every supine session
As food fragments he longs to bite.
...

My Love, Juliet ML

Your skin glows like the green apple I hold, blossoms consummate like a red rose in the purest hope of spring.
My yearning heart rises to your oboe voice and leaps like a gazelle at the whisper of your name, Juliet ML.
