John Sensele Poems

I tell no lies my children
Great life I led with my brethren
Plenty bucks in our pockets
Always at the ready in our ration rockets
...

Gone without meals for days
Stomachs grow angry nowadays
Roaming from dirge to rage
Tired of being a hunger hostage
...

Don't unfasten our flowchart
When our avid arms entwine
Each of us playing more than a platonic part
Our love we grow into an art
...

Deplete birdies and eddies of spite
Heighten causes and throes of tolerance
Incentivize aces and paces of your freedom fight
Worry not about arsenals of their might
...

Love freely we receive, freely we ought to give
If much in love we strive to achieve
The more in love we invest, the more in love we get
For all mistakes made in love, let's strive to forget
...

Marriage and career seldom bury the hatchet
Marriage and career sometimes swim in the same pool
Career a pride of place packs in a packet
Marriage spins a flexible spool.
...

Thoughts drive my mind
Making me happier
In thoughts health and wealth I find
...

Teach because you enjoy teaching
Don't teach because you need money
Teach not if you're inclined to cheating
Teach not because teaching makes no honey
...

If love was easy life would be fun
Arm in arm you and I would smile
Worrying about nothing but our gymnastic gun
Working hard to flow smiles all the while
...

Travel widens your perspective
Opening your mind to other points of view
Making the mind more effective
Readying long-held beliefs for review
...
