John Sensele Poems

Youth is the time for sensational success;
Use it to make hay while the sun shines
Or you'll forever rue wasting the cute chance
To grow wild wealth by trading in Persian pines
...

Yoyo rends Lion's heart:
Taunts and daggers come
In shrouded rampart;
Yoyo chaos brings some,
...

The hurricane became a loud and proud lass
Who swore to simmer and shear my shaven life.
With scorn, the hurricane kicked my kinky carcass,
Chanted aloud and cast spells from her fife.
...

Plots, slots, clots, tots,
They all bloat your throat.
Advice, vice, device, lice,
They all slice your price.
...

Slash the trash. Clash the flash
To thrash the rash.
Leave the peerage. Heave the rage,
To gauge the cleavage.
...

Like a clown, Derby floated on cloud nine;
Amanda fitted his future plans to a tee;
Parents said they could entwine;
What a wedding celebration it would be!
...

Hypnos puts me to sleep;
In very good stead to keep
My health, my wealth;
No tricks, no stealth;
...

Sorry my sweet sister,
I ditched my duty
And trusted trickster
To brandish my booty.
...

Draw nigh, draw nigh, darling;
Talk to me, hold me, kiss me.
Draw nigh, draw nigh, Carling;
Meet me under our pine tree.
...

Zambia, marvellous Motherland,
God showered upon you special sites;
On your long neck, you wear a garland
Of fine flora to delight Whites.
...
