Snowflakes gently drift
through a brooding sky-

snowmen and puddles.

Premium Member60 MINUTES SWIRL

Around the world
There are happenings
Events and Disturbances
Right here at home, Poets are gearing up on their journey of life experiences through their writing
Mindset in so many ways
Passing the days gone by
Emotions surging
Cries into shouts
Needing ears to listen and understand
Words to express
Poets being their own Commentators
As words turn
The mind explores
As highways accelerate
Words become dramatic
Active and aware

Dancing Robots

A segment I watched on a show – 
“60 Minutes,” if you want to know – 
Showed a building in which
Experts try to enrich
People’s lives from ideas that just flow.

Robotics is what these folks do
And the audience got a quick view
Of some creatures of steel
With the kind of appeal
That observers could not misconstrue.

For the robots were able to dance!
Choreographers given the chance
To design a routine
Meant for man, not machine;
So much joy to be had with one glance!

I encourage all readers to seek
“Dancing robots” on Google; one peek
Will help brighten your mood
And I’ll bet you’ll conclude
You’ll be grinning for more than a week.

Unapologetic Weather

by Parizo Van Thulare

Ohh! poor stratosphere
Your are no longer clear  as you used to be
too much fear ,not feeling safe as we used to be
One minute you roar 
The next 60 minutes  you are rare 

What have we done to you?
This days you have changed 
I can see by your looks
You are starring at us like crooks 
You have turned weather broadcasting machines into fools 
They  roll like a needle in a wool
For How long do we have to sleep starring at the roofs ?

Somedays you send heat to skin us live 
Sometimes you send these unapologetic storms to bury us alive 

No weatherforcast knows your pattern 
As confused  we are ,
We are just waiting to see what will happen  

Taking us all won't help 
Have Mercy   ,
there are far more things to dwell

Three Messages

A Bigger Threat

Incompetence…
  much more dangerous than corruption
    —when skillfully applied

(Note To The President-October, 2013)

    A Greater Wrong

Within a lesser right
 there is a greater wrong
   —begging to get out 

(Villanova Pennsylvania:  Watching the 60 Minutes
 Episode on Benghazi - October 27th, 2013)


     Implacability

As our resolve hardened
  —the viewing platform changed

Undecided

Kissing is a habit,
Hugging is a shame,
Boys get all the pleasure,
Girls get all the blame,
They tell you that they love you,
They tell you that it's true,
But when your stomach starts to rise,
They say the he'll with you,
60 minutes of pleasure,
9 months of a pain,
With a baby ; That's got no name,
The mama called a whore,
The baby called a bastard,
The baby wouldn't be here,
If the rubber hasn't tore.

Like Ferlinghetti, I Am Waiting

I am waiting for 60 Minutes to run out the clock
and I am waiting for Old Media to request end-of-life counseling
and I am waiting for NASA to announce an imminent extinction event
and I am waiting for the FCC to scrap its plan to monitor thought waves
And I am really waiting for someone to interrupt Bill O’Reilly

I am waiting for Wolf Blitzer to screw up one morning and shave
and I am waiting for GM to admit the Volt was not grounded in reality
and I am waiting for Madonna to say she’s mad as hell and she’s not gonna shake it anymore 
and I am waiting for a priest, a rabbi, and a mullah to walk into a bar
And I am really really waiting for the day when humor is color-blind 

Inspired by the poem I Am Waiting by Lawrence Ferlinghetti,
from A Coney Island of the Mind (1958)

Premium MemberA Moment Lost In Time

The clock is ticking...
     tick...tick...tick

You need to make a decision...
     so make it quick.

This moment will soon be passing you by,
     then all you can do is ask yourself why.

Why didn't you make each second count?
     Perhaps you should have gone a different route.

There's 60 seconds in every minute...
     60 minutes in every hour...
          about the time it takes to shower.

Will you make the most of each?
     Just think of how many people you could reach.

If you live in the moment...
     instead of the past...

You can make the most of your time here...
     cause life goes by so fast.

Premium Member- Reflections On the Time -

Time an eternity sigh 
Take good care of the minutes 
The hour is 60 minutes 

Time when it's not too late 
Take some quiet time to be happy 
Time is the most precious thing we have 

Time does not heal all wounds, but the pain subsides 
Times are what we make of it 
Time is not a thief, it's a gift for you and me 

Time to remember, live for today 
The time to hope for tomorrow 
Things we wish we had done yesterday
 
Time is our best friend and our worst enemy
Time for laughter, tears, love and a hug 
Time is a symbol of all that exists 

              ...... A symbol of all that we have

The Devouring

all at once (circumambient & endogenous)---
365 days, 12 months, 52 weeks,
24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds & then centiseconds & milliseconds etc., etc., etc.,
(you can do the math)
one wo/man with eyes peeled screaming perpetually open
in front of their prospective
screens---
hooked up,
tuned in &
the electronic stimulants being shot back at them
flicker as sporadically quick & acute as the tongue of a hydromantes
dancing, discoing, salsa-ing
atop & alongside the very retinas now fast becoming one
with the screen that they are so very close to
adhering themselves to a new destiny
a new place in the fabric of time
wherein, the devouring mechanism
sucks in
those willing to coast the wave
in which drowning is no longer an option &
the burden (and quite possible boredom) of
immortality
is brought upon their heads
10 fold.

Zero Tolerance In Schools

Zero Tolerance at Schools

By Elton Camp

It began with a federal law about bringing guns to school
That offenders must be expelled was the ironclad rule

Then, unwisely, local officials the policy vastly expanded
For drugs, aggression, and other things, expulsion demanded

The intention behind these regulations may have been good
School officials couldn’t be trusted to enforce as they should

Because the regulations by modern Dracos had been written,
Students, for childish behavior, with expulsion were smitten

A six-year-old, happy at joining the cub scouts, ruined his life
Because he brought to school camping stuff: spoon, fork, knife

Because of his heinous crime, zero tolerance enforced the rule
He got a suspension and spent forty-five days in reform school

A retarded child for “strong-armed robbery” was arrested
He stole two dollars and in adult jail for six weeks rested

Only when a CBS “60 Minutes” crew came to report the case
Were the ridiculous charges then dismissed with greatest haste

What very desperately needs to be done, it seems to me,
Is a zero tolerance policy for school officials’ stupidity

Super Sunday

Now it’s Roethlisberger versus Rodgers
To escape sacks, they’ll have to be dodgers
 
   Two very strong defenses
   Big egos and pretenses

When the ball’s caught, they’ll try to dislodge her

There are only 60 minutes to play
But these games last four hours anyway

   Referee calls disputed
   Jeers from the crowd unmuted

But the instant replays will save the day

Life

60 seconds
60 minutes
24 hours
7 days
12 months
1 year
Faith 
Family
Friendship
and
Life
All gifts from God that are not to be taken for granted,
All gifts to be shared with others,
and
All gifts with someone behind you to stand you up when you have fallen

This is a reminder that we should not be taking life for granted or thinking that we 
are invincible and is a reminder that life is a special gift. So take life five minutes 
at a time and remember these two most important things, there is always 
someone on your side but you only get to live this life once!

This is for everyone whose life will change reading this message and for 
everyone who has passed remembering these words of wisdom.
