Short Resents Poems

Her teacher is yapping again.
She resents it, it takes away from her nap time.
Do you sleep with your eyes open? Her girlfriends ask.
Must, she replies. It comes in handy in class....

Joseph the Christ figure giraffe bookmark
wooly resents that penultimate comment
and tells me whut
“ALL NEW MATERIAL. CONFORMS”
Of what does he speak? What madness?
“TO TOY SAFETY REGULATIONS”
The turning phrase!
A thousand old Buddhas stand speechless!...

He who resents
      and blames the past for shaping him
      has not yet assumed fair control
of his own destiny;

he who shirks burdens
      of responsibility for his own acts
      has not yet passed the true test
of real maturity;

he who accepts
      that he's a hapless victim of circumstance
      is indeed what he accepts
himself to be!...

C-herish the life of your own, 
H-ave faith in the Maker; 
R-ecognize the air you breathe, 
I-n the hands of the Father. 
S-eventh of February Wednesday, 
T-hink of grace from the Creator; 
I-n the greatness of His love, 
N-ot for a time He resents your 
E-rror. 

M-ay your heart acknowledge 
A-lmighty Lord God alone 
G-ladly giving your one soul 
N-othing but life of your 
O-wn....

Even when I'm happy
Full of content
My heart still feels empty
My mind resents
This feeling of bliss
How do I escape all of this
Hell in my mind
Back at the starting line
I strive to survive 
Come on
Let's go again
Hold my hand 
Fill me with bliss
Love in my heart
Yet I'm afraid to commit
Never will I regret
Why I still live this
Deep in my mind
I'm afraid to admit
Nothing makes me feel alive
as if I don't exist...

Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin
will never balk at an a priori win
has established new rules
resents being told they are for the obedience of fools.

Inaki Urdangerin
can we be sure of the danger he's in?
his wife the Princess
ensonced in a typical Spanish taxation mess.

Mississipi roast
should be apportioned on neat squares of french toast
thus preserving the culture
while eschewing the habits of the predatory Northern vulture....

Yes I see you man of the world:
Flashy on cue in myriad twirls.


Yes I know when to step aside:
Succinct you send your swirl of pride.


Yes I know now that tragic touch:
Watch time somehow scoop away much.


Yes I know why all magic fades:
The weary sighs that sorrow trades.


Yes I know then that fear resents:
The crippling trends in cheer's intent.


Yes, I must say that common sense
Soon fades away to true pretense.
