John Sensele Poems

Friends come into my life; my soul friends gladden
When from my soft centre, friends bring out the best
That's plenty in me to discard my sad burden.
...

Bake friendship cakes, chances on friendship take.
Amend approaches to social issues and bridges mend.
Upload gregariousness; friendship priorities make.
...

When a right angled triangle courts its opposite side
Which entices the longish hypotenuse
A sine is born full of trigonometric pride
Whose formula non mathematicians can't use.
...

When in life a great opportunity soon
Pops up unexpectedly to boost my ego
It's time for me to acknowledge the boon
I can't easily brush aside or forgo
...

Of my own volition, I can't kill love or let it die
When it's within my powers to grant
Love a pride of place when love can fly
High on cloud nine with me in front
...

Stacks of piles of guile of a plastic smile
Can't spook, in a brook, an erudite mind
Propelled for miles on end on a pile
Inches high, inches wide in a grind
...

Bite a chunk of love and love hooks
Seize your willpower to subject you
To vagaries and surgeries hidden in Kamasutra books
Which open your mind, tenderly, to view
...

Like a fly in a soup, a love triangle
Stretches the elasticity of relationship
To breaking point where the obtuse angle
Inserted by a third party sails a ship
...

When a rogue lover behaves as though
She is the only fish in a competitive pond
It's time to move on with your life although
A modicum of mercy regardless of how much dough
...

Like a pride of lions on the offensive
Attack in unison twenty four seven.
Like a lone wilderbeest in a mood pensive
You diminish your impact to reach heaven
...
