John Sensele Poems

Hypertension heightens strain on arteries, veins and capillaries
Stressing their walls and damaging organs
Until hypertension vagaries
Working worse than guns
...

Arise at sunup, brush your teeth, comb your hair
Gulp a cup of tea, hike a lift to school
Ensure stamped lesson plans breathe fair as you chair
Morning sessions to start on time in your pool
...

I loathe Mondays
Cos they give me the creeps
I love Fridays
Which spare me whips
...

Think twice before you rush headlong and crash thrice
At play, at work, at church, at home, at love
Where you carve chasms at the roll of dice
Gambling, going astray, gossiping in your cove.
...
