Best Assessment Poems

I love action,with few words
by example,my  guidance heard
a barnabas,I unfold
encouragement,to be bold;
strong-minded,solid,some say,
maybe somewhat dull and grey!
reliability ,my creed
satisfy first,my family need;
Each day,stepping outside the box
what you see,you see,is only little me

I always feel hungry
yet I dare not scoff
it may set a precedent.
(“My TV’s begging for Africa again!”)
Yet! I believe I am the fodder
everyone keeps feeding on my
infinite illusions.
The talkback show tells us,
“No one wants insecurity anymore.”
Yet the conglomerates give no guarantee
no “Job for life”
Only a...

I’m not connected
Neither am I happy
And so
Words are like forgotten junk
Like happy
Like connected
Like ice scuffed
Unforgiving cold beneath
Heavens above

Breathing

Not everyone who sees a “Wolf” is really in much danger
For lone wolves are quite shy and only show a woodsy face
Not everyone who feels alone is really such a stranger
To friends that seem to ‘disappear’ at times without a trace.

It’s just at times life...

(Brutal murder under the banner of religion, or shifting the blame)

Who shouts vile words designed to set in frames
and shrink our souls as paper charred in flames?

What twisted thought assigns to us disgrace
and rants in hate till we cannot save face?

A wicked plot performed this...

I have watched my youngest son
while nurses give him baths
using diverse models of health optimization 
ranging from PositivEnergy Promotion,
restorative ego-eco
I-Thou therapies,
to lower, not too much NegativEnergy, concerns
for hygienic technology professional management,
anger and fear commercialized insurance 
consumer protection assurance,
in which their client,
my youngest son,
tends to disappear

splitting halves
battle unsolved
no compromises
no justifications
the price of beginnings
an endless sought
in the irresolution 
I am caught
flawless in the contraries
the tearing poles of 
my conscience
Assessment is evaluation,
Sometimes, repudiation.....

"CURRENT ASSESSMENT"


ingredients for my
disobedience:
paint the blue balls a
different color.
moral subjectivity is
subjective.
divested through tears
of tantrum.

a man does not become 
perfection without
trials.

Shiny black patten leather shoes,
A new baby's eyes,
Dark moving clouds,
Storm theatening skies...
Sometimes my daddy's mood,
Sometime my attitude,
Hey!
That's not black,
It's the blues!...

Three hours suppressed before breaching the tight-lipped 
container left neatly wrapped in homogenous foam 
and smoky demeanor. Its lid caved in, having been tapped.

Through misspoken holes sprung arcadian visions, 
lacking Peloponnese disposition, still semi-smoldering

less subtle artistry...

How do I write a poem about me,
What story is there to tell?
Do my words paint pictures,
Do they cast a spell?
What would someone say if he wrote a critique

I am often a dreamer,
And in my dreams I'll be...
