Anselmo Boles Poet Monorhyme

Today

                                                      Today

         Today
         I noticed a small leaf float from the lush canopy and land on grass
         then vanish to infinity

         I sensed a primal need to amend outcome of events carried within
         ominous clouds of ambiguity

         I painted a virtual picture of tomorrow exorcizing enmity for amity
         nestled amid spheres of possibility

         I pondered a rational cause and effect of iniquitous acts as pivotal
         moments silently succumb to anonymity

         I aimed a magic dart at a wounded heart liberating its final breath
         annihilating sufferings incurred from inhumanity

         I tamed a wild squall then ask sky goddesses to remedy a tragedy
         where naivete had awaken to a confounding dichotomy

         I egged a crystal ball to right flawed perceptions of an alien entity
         responding to hard unrelenting questions demanding clarity

         I chased a black hole moving at the speed of light like gamma ray
         driven by the force of weightlessness and in my being a nonentity

         I dreamed a dream that annul obduracy making my visions reality 
         unveiling unknown horizons giving humanity a passage to eternity

         I deemed a sleep did not befall; I was just imagining what may be
         while sunbeams vanished during the most vital instants of the day
         then planets skillfully danced with the night as stars wander freely.

         Today...

           "Miniscule seeds planted as dreams...in every imaginable reality"

Marikate Kingston November 5, 2023 at 5:48 PM What a busy, beautiful, exciting, imaginative, dreamy day you write about. Such a clever poem with so much wonderful imagery and fun. My favorite line is the last one, beginning with the word, "Then planets skillfully danced with the night as stars wander freely" A line that would be fun to paint! What a sight to see. Anselmo Boles November 13, 2023 at 8:00 PM Thanks very much Marikate! I believe you have a very artistic mind and spirit. So happy to know you really enjoyed this poem. anselmo

Jim Slaughter December 10, 2022 at 10:24 AM Well, Anselmo, it seems to me that you really filled this day to infinity and beyond. A very intriguing read. Anselmo Boles December 10, 2022 at 11:23 AM Thanks for the visit, Jim! I just realized that there are those unique moments when you least expect them, that at times, the farthest reaches of the unknown in a nanosecond, emerges inches away from your consciousness, and paint images you've never ever seen before. Real bizarre. Have a happy normal day!...ab

Valsa George December 9, 2022 at 8:02 AM This is a stunning write dear Anselmo. In profundity of meaning and diction, this really excels, dear friend.,...! Will there ever come a day when we can exorcize enmity for amity. If so, there is no need for a paradise.. Anselmo Boles December 9, 2022 at 7:26 PM Thanks always for your wonderful compliments and having this sharp intuitiveness. I feel that humanity might have been given a challenge to turn our Earth into a paradisical abode, though sadly and disappointingly, we seem to have failed. Maybe another chance generations later? One can only hope. Cheers Valsa!...ab

I Am Anaya December 8, 2022 at 6:17 PM I would have chosen you Anselmo, as my favorite poet on PS contest....I think I was that alien entity! I am so excited that you rid of that ANAYALATOR with your dart! I would like to make a request....Do you sing "Feliz Navidad" ? Salamat ~ANAYA Anselmo Boles December 9, 2022 at 6:37 AM Opps, sorry Anaya, I actually meant to write " You're too pretty to be ANAYALATED". My bad...ab Anselmo Boles December 8, 2022 at 7:10 PM Hahaha! You're not only very talented but also very funny! Anaya, I am soooo thankful of your gesture, but there are certainly a good number of very creative poets out there who deserve the award, and you're one of them. Sorry, you're too pretty to be 'ANAYALATOR". Oh, I can sing Feliz Navidad, but I have to read the lyrics while doing it! LOL. Salamat is a Filipino word, you know? I appreciate you...ab

Gershon Wolf December 6, 2022 at 7:53 PM Today -- how many hours in a day?!... I humbly bow to Your Magnificence, Anselmo! Long Life to you, Sir! Anselmo Boles December 8, 2022 at 7:17 PM I usually don't turn beet red(blush), but your humbling and overwhelming remark just did it, Gershon! Thank you very much! I know that I have miles and miles of room to improve, but being human with humanoid weaknesses , is I think a good enough excuse. Shalom and Toda Rabah my friend!...ab
