I've seen a ship in a bottle
and a barque inside a jar
how they got there I've no idea
perhaps a retractable spar
mariners made them
when all at sea
or in the doldrums
averting voyage-long ennui
what it signifies I know not
but there's a punt
in the bottom of mine
maybe an impediment
to catch sediment
when storing
or accommodate
a thumb for pouring
yet it does not improve the wine
It takes a while,
time gets trapped behind closed doors,
mice need to be nudged into awareness,
whiskers electrified.
A sleeper adjusts its mouth,
for often lips arrive
behind a scream.
The brain is now ready for its screenshot.
The body stretches to a window,
neuronal mice
pull upon somatic ligaments,
yank upon slabs of connective tissue,
slowly reshaping a new reality.
Unfortunately,
you are not exactly transferable,
you can’t get on the same hamster wheel.
A new you must be rehabilitated,
the world also must be trained
to accommodate this au currant -
this avant garde prototype
of an old guy.
With the minting of the Lincoln Penny coming to its sorrowful end,
It'll now cost you a 'Nickle For Your Thoughts', my miserly friend!
Or consider the phrase 'That's My Two Cents For What It's Worth', old chum;
It'll now cost you two nickles or a dime - that's the new rule of thumb!
Alas, no more penny candy for the little tykes - forget the penny arcade;
These are just a few things that'll vex us since pennies are no longer made!
I reckon they'll have to mint more nickles to accommodate this feckless nation!
Oft', I ponder how Honest Abe would feel about 'his loss of face' and inflation!

my muse Trixie turns herself inside out and upside down
wanting my full attention, but I am not always in the mood to write
This infuriates her. She becomes determined to make me pay
She can be terrifying, so I try to accommodate.
Trixie demands attention and commands respect
she is nothing like me, and yet she is me
Difficult to explain
unless you wake up like I do, hearing the last line of a poem
I ignored my muse for forty years; a self-imposed sabbatical
she was not happy
but kept quiet, reposing in the background
collecting her ideas
for the past six years we have the goal of ten poems a day
and we have met this goal, so she is relatively happy
insistent and persistent when I am ready to say uncle
she is my resilient powerhouse
my muse Trixie turns herself inside out and upside down
wanting my full attention, but I am not always in the mood to write
This infuriates her. She becomes determined to make me pay
She can be terrifying, so I try to accommodate.
The wind rose early with the busying dawn;
And, rushing into the long avenue of beech -
Laid down years ago to accommodate labouring feet -
Began to scatter over neatly cut verge and lawns
With its own inimitable unruly gust, blow and fuss...
Within a cascading maelstrom of vivid bright yellowness.
Against strong trunks, held firm by steadfast roots,
Groans from creaking boughs as they upwardly heaved
Upon frantically thrashing branches showering
rusted, golden leaves;
Carpeting the rough stones below my trampling boots.
A mad kaleidoscope of leaping, swirling, skipping
colour
Where, as a child, I had once rediscovered...
Two green sandstone gate pillars sat well back
That ushered me under this arched, canopied track.
Precious, pretty, fleeting.
Flitting butterfly, lifting
wings, too heavy.
One, two, three…
One, two, three…
the flower’s delighted
to be explored.
Colors, themselves,
adored or unnoticed.
Just that one spot, spotting
the prettiness in the pot;
the stems stand tall;
lantanas, an unsung song.
Silence in the flapping.
How can the breeze accommodate,
provide a zephyr, a zip, a zest,
unrest?
My eyes rest upon loveliness -
this fixed point; is the universe
such things - I could explore
forever, one iota at a time.
I was never eager to accommodate others or to please
I am also not one to stand around, shooting the breeze
I do not mind sleeping with puppy dogs and fleas
But I have no use for humans, for they bully and tease.
One person
Only one heart
A heart can only hold one person
Loving a person is ordinary
It's a normal human feeling
Someone I know one person
Having one heart like the sea
He can accommodate all people of the world
He heals the sick, raise the dead
He turn water to wine, walk on seas
He multiply two fishes and five loaves
He preach repentance and good tidings
He forgives those who made sins
He carry the cross and died for you and me
His life is ordinary turn extraordinary
He become a history, a living gospel for us today.
Was I part of your twisted fantasy?
Igniting emotions that you could never reciprocate?
The audacity.
Leaving over the slightest discomfort!
It was silly of Me,
to mistake all your red flags for fixable nuances.
Bending over backward to accommodate you,
I wish I had enough rage to hate you,
I can't seem to reach that degree.
All I have are questions, that only I seem to answer,
Letting go is a serendipitous process,
I am somehow finding comfort in the peace I have found.
On Nacpan Beach my dreams take flight
No past to haunt and no wrongs to right
Turquoise waves hum songs of endless peace
My soul drifts and all memories cease
While on holiday the skies are wide
Worries fade with the changing tide
Grains of cream-colored sand under salty air
Accommodate each blissful step without a care
Endless rows of coconut trees oversee granularity
The scent of the ocean brings unburdened clarity
As the sun dips low a variety of colors ignite
Over a golden canvas of tranquil delight
Lazily napping on a hammock between palm trees
Sleepiness whisks me away under the whispering breeze
I was comfortable with our Verbal discourse, at first Reluctantly
Sapiosexual Being, Intellect your speech, I yearned for more
The version of you I placed in my mind, Foolishly
To accommodate my infatuation
I ultimately refused to see, Blindly
I walked to the edge of the cliff with blurred vision
Already emotionally strained, now wounded, Bitterly
And don't know how to feel or how to end the pain
that I inflicted, on myself, Inconsistently
I was wrong, but I will heal
Obligated to Self to be Strong, Mentally
Self Inflicted Torment
Wondering how to escape my Mind, Consciously
Blaming my Sensitivity
Prosecuting My emotions, Emotionally
Being Loved is minimal
I valued the version I created of you, Inaccurately
But now I see, Clearly!
Your Love lacked Support, I was not your Priority
Lesson Learnt! Bridges Burnt!
That Version of Me that Needed the Self Created Version of You
Has Evolved, Balanced on a Scale with a Feather, Peace Profound, Thankfully!
