John Sensele Poems

Express gratitude if magnets get to your planet
To light up your days
As you escape the drudgery dragnet
Whether he sways, stays or strays.
...

Hope always hovering in heads
That sometimes blink, clink, sink and wink into despair
Once people thump fists and jump from beds
Where they claim life's leisure and pleasure aren't fair.
...

To God's voice we always listen
Our lives in God's hands we fasten
Now and forever
God's love we never sever
...

I banged pots and pans
Riding tractors, mopeds and vans
Pestering God to grant me days off
So I can deplete my parents' loaf
...

Appreciate opportunities and immunities at your doorstep
Unless later days spent in risible regret for the silly step
You took thinking from God you can snatch tomorrow
Only to discover you uncovered a Pandora's box of sorrow
...

On your face wear no frigid frown
Which diminishes the beauty of your crown
In the midst of the covid 19 menace
Which God doesn't bless
...

Optimal opportunity in life seldom comes
Bring it about if you play right your sums
To ensure the shimmer of your sun shines
As the gout of your doubt declines.
...

If I, my cries, pies, sighs and supplies should be alive tomorrow
Breathing, pleading and needing forgiveness again and again
To mom, dad, brother and sister I'd spare sleazy sorrow
For more youthful years a pride of place in my life to bargain and gain.
...

Love number one to achieve happiness
Despise number one and reap sadness
Setting poor priorities to conform
To ideals that deflate your preferred platform.
...

Hearts of lovebirds in tune
Beating as one in the joys of June
With much love to share
With supple sadness to repair.
...
