Tom Arnone Poet Couplet

Bubble Branes

We float in spheres of loneliness
On pancake-branes so numerous.

Viewing down a sky-bound 'scape,
A microbial colony of working ape.

Trying to better our genetic canvass --
Or, devolving into primitive madness.

Schizophrenic species of love and hate
That builds, creates and burns to berate.

Our children the elders must engage,
To cool the world of its bubbling rage....

Beata Agustin May 12, 2026 at 7:07 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

M. L. Kiser July 8, 2017 at 9:26 PM So very true...you've captured it so perfectly.

Darren White March 12, 2017 at 9:33 AM It has a feel of a Picasso clock, floating somewhere in space, me sitting on it, observing all those others doing the same, cooling everything down from far above...

Constance La France February 25, 2017 at 7:37 AM Tom this is a wonderful write, have not seen you on the site, hope you are doing well

Agona Apell October 24, 2016 at 12:38 AM Tom, I see good flow, good thought... And the phrase "a microbial colony of working ape" will stick in my lexicon for a full age.

Pashang Salehi October 12, 2016 at 8:04 PM Hi Tom, thank you for stopping by and giving me a pep talk about liqueur and medicinal properties of grass on my “ inebriated” poem. The poem is Rubai. In this style, the wine is divine, and our life is just a small painful portion of our true life. Getting old is bliss, because you are one step closer to the inevitable. I'm neither a drug addict nor alcoholic. I'm just inebriated in the spirit..... Pashang Pashang Salehi December 13, 2016 at 4:31 PM By the way Tom, last year I wrote a story of a bubble,you may check it out and see how similar our thoughts are.... Tom Arnone October 12, 2016 at 9:17 PM That's good to know, Pashang. Thanks for sharing.... ;-)

Pashang Salehi October 11, 2016 at 10:04 PM Indeed... well written my friend. By the way, you asked me to give you more inebriated rhyme and rhythm; so I did! Check my inebriated...... Cheers...
