Advice for Addressing Grizzlies

"Wake up!" I said to the grizzly, "it's almost June", 
as I whistled a lively tune.
It's important to mention that one must take care
when addressing this kind of bear.
Indeed, it's wisdom like this that I impart
that may keep you in a single part.

Addressing the World



Intolerance grips our life’s mainstay hard,
guiltless blood flows, civilizations clash,
heart splinters into disposable shard.
In the clutch of stress relationships crash.

Let times change before it explodes within.
War-tank becomes piano, gun forms flute,
mercenary turns into violin.
They play symphony of brotherhood mute.

Let times get free from the hands of power.
Scorn turns bouquet, hate a branch of olive,
mind an

Addressing the World with Gifts Divine

In this strife ridden world of ours today,
It’s pain and suffering, we often see around.
Many a man wanders aimless in utter dismay.
Many wallow in despair as problems surround. 

So many are lost in the arid deserts of life,
Failing to distinguish the oasis from the mirage. 
Feet burning, wading through blistering strife,
They're duped by life's well

Addressing the Soup: For Constance

I'm addressing the Poetry Soup community, not with divine words, 
for none of us come close to being righteous. Hurting the feelings 
of poets who have suffered a loss is an act of self-righteousness.


Never would I try to stifle someone's poetic art
The words and phrases from their every thought
Most often their lines come from within

Addressing the world today

As I sit here in my home and watch my children grow
I worry for the future and wonder what will come
I take the time to educate and teach my child to know
Of the differences within this world and what person they'll become 

We talk about the things in life that they will come to find
That

Addressing My Thanks

~ A Thought for Thanksgiving ~ 

    I'm thankful for the air I breathe
      I'm thankful for good luck
    I'm thankful for the food I eat
      I'm thankful for a few bucks...

    Yet something's missing in

Shadows Addressing Empty Chairs

Your face contorts in a twisted effort
Plaintive in non-decorous reverberation
A terrain around a pair of distant orbs 
Lost in extemporaneous consternation
To ward off the fear of unwanted evanescence
Upon the wanton revelation
Of a day you wish had never existed
Tremors beset a set of fingers 
While the mind steadies the hand that lights 
A random electric cigarette

Addressing Passion

She wears a slightly see-thru dress of pleasure
That of which night accentuates the curves more 
Her chest showing nipples in equal measure
Drawing power of acquiescence on shore
Her form leaves me meandering towards lust
That dress just blends into her skin, like her bust
It all becomes one, shows off all her glory
She has my heart, her love

Addressing Inequity

History books are filled with men’s escapades
Are women’s accomplishments seen as charades?

Joan of Arc had visions of saints leading her
to save France from Britain’s tyrannical cur.

Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat --
defending rights, she’d not succumb to defeat

Mary Magdalene had historians confused;
she watched Christ die, though apostles refused. 

Eleanor Roosevelt was the

Addressing the Dressing

The blood that covers
Is there to be stemmed
It's the reasons why
That we have to comprehend

Discussions are set
Minds to be spoken
To continue with life
No more wounds to be open

Self harm is among us
But many of us will never know
We have to address the dressings
And stem this flow
