John Sensele Poems

Busybody, keep your morbid malady
In check and peck in your yard
To avoid the void a tragedy
May heap beyond your quips outside your graveyard
...

Judases join Jesus' generals
To wound worshippers with weevils
Teeming in molestations, in masquerades of materials
Judases justify through evils
...

Slow down, bow your head, lad
In readiness for happiness
To bless success in your pad
Where selflessness and fondness
...

Toast on coasts where oats
Fly coy joy for boys who deploy
Days bereft of cream coats
Worn by a torn toy
...

Bless the face of God and press
For a stressless pace of life teeming with goodwill
For the rich, the vulnerable and stress the mess
Slices of malice and swill
...

Wolves, don't attend church services to search
For opportunities at dawn and at night
To conduct ducts that breach
Sanctity and dignity of worship for the delight
...

Stuck in lanes where racketeers pack pain
Unleashed with unabashed abandon
With neither compassion nor affection to strain
A peg, break a leg then beg for a pardon
...

Embrace the tinge of a challenge with a conquering courage
Summoned from deep within your soul
Which God's grace blesses to face any barrage
Challenges and lozenges delineate as a goal
...

Salute lutes and flutes that pray and play tunes in soaps of hope
Nurtured and cultured with ingredients
Assembled into an ensemble to help you cope
With any voice and choice whose gradients
...

Tackle tentacles of obstacles despite spectacles
That wish the fish in your reddish dish
Could knuckle under when miracles
Fly away to sway a radish
...
