John Sensele Poems

The thrill of a deal
The drill of a seal
The shrill of happiness
Mean far more to hearts than the sulkiness
...

The key to our happiness lies in hearts we uplift
When burdens of life crush traces of bliss
Hearts no longer find in fractures of the fleece
Hearts knew for sure would grant them a lift
...

Pots and pans
Spoons and forks
Colanders and corks
Thrive in kitchen spans
...

Africans, quit messing up the plot
Wake up and seize the time
Quit swimming in the pastime
Of dreaming, screaming and streaming a lot.
...

Fifteen thousand I paid
In a hopeful move to secure a job
As up and down swung my bob
Deal's done, the crook said
...

Very wide open your eyes
Seizing your opportunity
Unfurling your dignity
As your soar into scintillating skies
...

Raymond slumped on his knees
Wondering why he should believe
Words of remorse can't assuage the pain of the brave bees
They dared to deceive
...

Anger mostly serves no purpose
Agitating the brain, weakening health
Whipping your soul resource
Increasing neither your faith nor your wealth
...

Facts fly in truth
They distance themselves from distortion
They swim in waters of limpid proportion
Where they scare the uncouth.
...

A hot teapot called a cute kettle black
The kettle rebuffed the flavouless flak
Raising very high its temperature
Which by habit stuck to its nature and signature
...
