The Plan

I sit in my chair With a drink in my hand Reading the words Of woman and man A poem emerges Robust and profound I grab my pen And scribble around With arrows and circles And numbers by phrase Pictures develop That sometimes amaze My pen is the plow That trenches the furrow Planting the seeds For poems tomorrow A seed that is buried Deep in the Earth Breaking the surface At moment of birth I look to the sun I stare at the moon I smell every odor And listen to tunes Crickets and tree frogs A daisy or rose Thunder and lightning A ground that is froze Life is abundant It circles around If you look and you listen You'll see every sound Don't miss a moment Of nature or man Cause all has been given Through Gods greatest plan Nothing happens by chance Rockman :-)

Love It!So true, the word coincidence was coined from co-inside, originally a mathematical term that was use to describe when two angles fit together perfectly.

This was fantastic Rockman! But I am not surprised. You're so right- nothing happens by chance. Beautiful ...Samia

good lookin out on the Juxtaposed piece. If that was just a poem I had written for a contest or something I may have changed it, but that one was a tough one. I wrote it while in some deep shit with my endocrine system...long story about testosterone...Anyway I used juxtaposed b/c of the way it compares two very different things that are similar (ie. rain vs tears) I do appreciate your help...like the time on the "Jack Ace" poem. I wanted to explain this all to u so u dont take me as a dick:)

Last line wraps it up beautifully; your awareness of what is around you seems to privide the fuel for anything you want to write about. Lovely verse. :)
