Hi Lori,

I see you took my Nonet advice and fixed yours. Looks great now!

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

... taking the ends of both of your original pieces:

shun
correct
suggestions
and syllables
can get out of sorts
because they lose focus
and you cannot count on them
because they don't pay attention
to their contractional requirements

mimosa is a total tree

orchestrates a
symphony of real
additives which may treat
indigestion if you pour
some of it in a glass for me
as I relax in the back yard’s shade

from the light

right around sunrise
or you may meet traffic
that comes the other way;
they have no trouble seeing you
but your seeing them could be too late

laughs are ephemeral

late
asleep,
unknown sigh
gets you awake;
hearing what you dream
starts you thinking of some
apparitions you might fear,
relaxing with chuckles and a
euphoria when they are not real

high-minded hug
testing my entrance
enchanted by all her
ominous beauty that I
undulate in while I hang on
standing here aghast before leaving

lower your eyes and go

leave
or stay
when you see
excellent forms,
read each area;
you’ll find poetry can
occupy the writer’s mind
unless it is closed so please bring
respect and critique for those who do

since a club

exacts punishment
dealt for criteria;
fortunately no one can
organize that and each critic
reading our work must light a candle

carefully tying it up

ease out the rein;
for I am giving

leave some slack before the knot,
letting him buck or play with you
yet not so much he gives you the slip
