Premium Member October

Dogwood,jasmine,marram grass
In flower ,as pressure fills the barometer glass;
Evening primrose in scented bloom
Fill Autumn with  pungent perfume.

Sycamore seeds twirl and twist
Onto a fairy-ring fungus tryst;
Stink horn capped with slime,
As carrion beetles pass the time.

Bramblings feast on bountiful mast ,
As the Autumnal harvest dwindles fast;
Yellowed leaves drift and decompose
Into next year's cellulose.

Winter migrants with welcome calls
As the Indian Summer falters,and falls;
Nature's tempo tarries,then slows
As all creation begins to doze.
&fog forms ,at the close of day.

Premium Member - Love Is Like the Weather -

Love scale from one to ten on a barometer
is difficult to measure
A little rainfall can evaporate
The climate is changing and so does love
Real love should endure most things
Life does not just consist of sunshine days
Rain and wind, it comes and goes
Days off darkness and gloom

Lower your shoulders, love gives warmth and light
Snow and biting cold, no one likes to freeze on their toes
We will experience lightning and thunder ... even though we
prefer the sun and the heat
Respect, patience and tolerance -  is love
A part of the interaction ... of the whole
We must learn to appreciate the sight of a beautiful rainbow ...
Together we are two ...  this is a basic L

Premium Member Our Human Nature

Our Human Nature

A real aspect always part of a person’s life;
One that can bear fangs and pangs of strife.
 
A living barometer replete with its choices;
Leaving each of us puzzled, full of voices. 

It prays on our very emotions and naiveté, 
Leaving us at times in moments of disarray.

Man by his nature is fickle and imperfect.
God by His nature is divine and perfect.

A person’s decency is so wonderful to tell;
Another’s depravity is so worthy of Hell! 

A person’s good deeds mark now his true measure,
Bringing him God’s divine love always to treasure!

Never trust what you can’t feel deep in your heart;
This makes us divine in God’s eyes—sets us apart!

Premium Member Kissing the Blood of Battles

blue birch tree
behind the forest walls
staggering
in the  shadows
absorbing every howl.
The phantoms collide
with your seeds of sobriety...
their cackle intensifies
(barometer of your successes).
The golden brook is within your reach
of your denim fingertips..
so reach dear one reach.
like a star searches for its sweet burning heart
full of life and the living sweetness
fight on fight hard
swing your roses at the sword
your not alone
that bird in the clearing sings your victory song..
reach for it through the briar
i'll meet you in the center
in the bowel of the storm
and kiss away the blood of your battles.

Wood Hills Creek

Wood Hills Creek

All is quaintly quiet on Wood Hills Creek
The day after Christmas a silence unique
No shaking hands or exchanging of smiles
Only symmetrical snow as it pleasantly piles

All is fractal frost on Wood Hills Creek
The air chilled and damp a barometer bleak
No warming of hands and hearts left cold
For Christmas is over now back to the old

All is blasphemy bitter on Wood Hills Creek
With shivering silences no words they speak
Goodwill toward man nowhere to be found
Only merchant materials that keep us bound

All is lamentingly lost on Wood Hills Creek
As greed gracefully falls a morphic mystique
The Spirit of Father Christmas left far behind
Until next year...just one day...to be kind.

Premium Member Prepare For Rainy Days

When you realize it, nothing is funny. 
Not every day in the business world is sunny. 
Stormy weather comes when the barometer falls. 
There can be gale force winds to knock down walls. 
For days like this, stash some cash away. 
Have money available for a rainy day.

Jack 177		26 Jun 2025

A room in my head called emotion

Controlled by various means

A thermometer reacting to the room temperature of others

The cold shoulder of silent indifference

Could turn the blood in my veins, to frozen streams

Other times, blood starts to boil with internal rage

The mercury of overreaction, starts to rise

The volatile instability, damages perception

I work hard on a solution for my personal climate control

I do, have a choice

Reactive thermometer or self-regulating thermostat

Someone else’s winter can be my thawing spring

Heated summer anger, can be a pleasant autumn day

That room in my head, needs comfortable stability

Self-awareness becomes the barometer of my emotions

Premium Member Barometer Deer

A snow white deer was downed by a hunter.
A once in a lifetime trophy, he boasted.
Some folks were crimson pissed 
because a snow-white deer is very rare,
a sign of good things to come. 

The purist of beings to reappear....
an antlered angel... wearing a message 
a reminder that God is still present, 
still looking after- picking up 
after 
us.
From the edge of our acid cloud, sludge streams
burning forest of Dali dreams.
Waiting for the perfect time.
The perfect time 
to float above the clearing.
To cleanse
to whisper "there's still miracles-miracles abound
there's still time to turn negativities into lacy dreams.
Knead bullets into butterflies and mustard seeds.
Spin the planet back from black to aquamarine".

 To the hunter it was just a leaping piece of meat
to be silenced-d- skinned- devoured displayed...
owned. 

Now some people want to bow the hunter down
you know, nail his polyester neck to the forest wall
for stuffing his miracle.

Perhaps the white deer was a test. 
God's barometer, to see where our souls are really at...

Premium Member 'unquestionable Worth'

Imagine what life would be like
if our worth were determine by man

if our mistakes were a barometer of our worth
our favour would run hot and cold
like a see-saw through each day

each breathe we took would be a struggle
the one thing we do without thinking
would be so difficult to achieve

but we've been blessed beyond our imagination 
because even in our darkest hour
even when we are down in the valley

God sees our worth
His Son chose to die for us
He declared; she is worth the sacrifice
He declared; he is worth the sacrifice

when in doubt,
when we feel unloved
we need to focus on the cross

God thought we were worth the sacrifice then

He still does; even today

The Great Pumpkin

Pumpkin King;  hear you wheeze.
Open lungs as light as leaves.
Oh; Great pumpkin; long-time wait.
Coming closer brings my fate.

Barometer up above my ears.
Hollow ground will add to fears.
Pumpkin patch about my feet.
Will you rise up and bring my treat.

Oh; Great Pumpkin hear my prayers
Bring my candy and hide my terrors.
Fill my pillowcase till it flows
till Halloween - The Great Pumpkin shows.

Her Eyes Were Like Fireflies

Her fireflies eyes ,
Melted my heart of stone and turned it into dust ,
Dust  carried by the wing of the wind
from desert sand of the Sahara makes 
my heart buried deep into Mole’s habitat ,
My strength and zeal left death in me and vanish ,
In dark alleys , I wonder and ponder ;
When will I be free and be an eagle that flies 
unhindered by the wind and weather of the coast ?.

Her Sun ray gaze makes
My lion heart to be weakened and 
fluctuates  like aneroid barometer,
My barometer heart reads higher than my body temperature,
which  makes my stallion being to desire her more ,
Her  beauty put the ball into my goal post;
Which I couldn’t stop ; free assess ; free captivity !,
A golden goal scored by a fast and deadly striker ,
When  would my Moses’ will be able to
overcome her ester’s beauty ?.

Red Wall

Red Wall 

Give they money and ask me to bring 
Some tools, tables, chairs or ladders 
Near to the red wall with fine pieces of art 
To lift up those who are short 
To make them strong they are required food 
And to make them healthy who are weak we required medicine 
And a request is sent to the trainers to train people who are unskilled 
A teacher is also brought to them to enhance their learning 
Pneumonic science is also applied 
So that they can hone their capacity of memory 
 The money supplied I do not spend on anything 
Neither is the money for my consummation 
I am provided to give them coaching and means cum merit scholarship 
Rest of the money is spent as dole just to make them financially sound 
As some competitors happen to be super rich 
As there could not be any contest 
Between poor and rich 
Between strong and weak 
Neither could be any race between taller and who is short 
This is very unfair rather it’s a complete lie 
To ask all to compete among the unequal 
As alone freedom and equity or equality won’t work 
So I place my bricks below the feet of them who are not having well height 
To give them equal footing, a platform of equal length and width 
Rays of the same brightness with same angel 
 Rain of the same quantity and quality 
Same barometer of the wind pressure 
If I do not forget to mention the same humidity and temperature 
To do justice to all with unbiased mind and attitude 
As mere freedom or mere equality I believe is a trick played 
By the of people who have upper hand in the society 
Next I give them some of my inspirational poems 
To have them all same level of psychological boost 
All are now on the same height 
On the same line with same length, width and breadth 
The area or angel of them is no different 
I believe to think all out and all round justice is done 
Secretly I blow the whistle 
Everyone is free to see their goal prancing like a colt 
From now on and without any obstruction 
Let them all view their finishing lines which lie over the red wall

Time Patient Husband

TIME - PATIENT   HUSBAND
 
 
Time and tide for no man are stopping
But time can slow fast when she’s shopping
 
A one-dress day is mighty long
And a two-dress day is even longer
A pair of shoes day is longest of all
 
Patience for hair and manicure must be strong
For  four perfume testers  even stronger
New earrings  - strongest of all

And my time-field is suffering cropping
As the time-barometer continues dropping
