Dire Situation Poem by John Sensele

A great boon soon treks through not by admiring the moon
Much as the moon lights up our night delights despite a range of challenges
That baffle our shuffle if a scuffle from an unfunny cartoon
Somehow steals the limelight and deals a pack of cards singes
Hearts on fire in an empire where a wire admires the lyre
From which soothing music moves entwined silhouettes
Dancing toe to toe under the glow of a candlelight pyre
Depleting teak and oak from National plantation sets
Of exotic trees in a rather quixotic scenario raises a talon
When tight hugs saps energy despite the synergy between the sun
And the moon causes not only an eclipse in a synapse when an axon
And a dendrite delight each other by spiriting a chemical gun
That breathes fire as the ire sires more mire in a dire situation
Without passing the buck or throwing muck at any reputation.
