Best Change Over Poems

No longer myself

Definitions
Do change over time

I did not know 
Who I was 
Then

Now
I do

With the sadness that comes
When you learn of the death
Of an old friend

Throughout my life I've noticed,
That people like to talk;
But though they like to talk the talk,
Most don't walk the walk.

Most folks think highly of themselves.
Some more than they should.
They'll put on aires and talk about,
The ugly, bad and good;

Of all the people, places, things,
They're seeing,...

full bodied women
tantalize senses like wine
delightful to taste

cushions of comfort
everywhere soft to the touch
more luxuriance 

curvaceous can charm
sexy is as sexy does:
get size wise, people!

All newborns move from womb to crib;
and toddlers leave the floor to play in yards.
Most youngsters go from home to school,
learning a new milieu some with ease.

Our kids both young and old contend with space.
While teens assemble, needing gangs and groups,
our college students age as...

Though you're not there
You still leave a presence
Thinking of happiness gives you the chills
Like a kid opening christmas presents
At night you drown your sorrows
But tonight your sober
But yet that bottle numbs the "Pain all Over"

I know you don't say it
Your actions explains it all
All you...

I lost myself inside the book
Turning pages as I take a look
For the real me has seized to exist
Transformation forms making a list

I lost myself in the lines
Got caught up with all the rhymes
Time and place runs in one line
Is it someones life or mine

If...

Tattarrattat


…amazing how things change over time, from a simple knock at someone’s door, smoke signals, walking & serenading to the Pony Express, and now Cell Phones…what next, microchip implants?


Tattarrattat of sounds making universal calling to chitchat
Habitat denned of words hovering upon stagnate doormat
Dialling friends like...

IMPRESSIONS of REALITY
becoming
  enmeshed
in endless
detail

in the shadows
 startling
depictions

turmoil
&fireworks
with
extreme reactions


the
interconnectedness
 of

time

reflecting
the influence

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique...

Hello, Cousin?

By Elton Camp

From an apelike brute they say we’re descended
But I wonder if the ape would be highly offended
Charles Darwin was the first man known to see
Just how a thing like that could possibly be 

He served as a naturalist onboard a sailing ship
And...

THE SECOND FALL! 

Angels of lightening kneeled before Him flashing, “Everything is over!”
His look cast cusp of Cosmos, thundering across the change-over;
Adam in guilt hid his soul in Tree of life; Eve behind him hid her face;
Only Lucifer under the Knowledge Tree showed his face.
“Look!”...

Hum Drum Thumb

Has a person ever put or placed a ban
On those putting marbles in their tin can
And after suffering much more bad news
All of his marbles he would loose.

More than likely what happened after that
Is some marbles had eyes looking like a cat
And after...

To Be or not to be...a vegetarian 

Christmas in Portugal is a dowdy affair, Supermarkets 
are open most days and there is no rush, and no expectation, 
the hunting for happiness, family union and all that ****. 
We had bacalao for lunch today, and the...

There are times when friendship feels like ice cream to me—
Sweet and welcome in its simplicity.
People come with flavors of their own,
Bound in joy,
Yet sometimes pulled apart by mistakes unknown.

Ice cream comes in many kinds,
And no one dares to leave it behind.
It cools our thirst...

Dictionary Entry Society

I dislike research with critical passion but succumbed to the web and expected
an intricate intermingled labyrinth to define society by its antonyms but short 
and bitter was the answer to knowledge quest when one word one only in bold
letters HATE as if for...

Lost and stolen child 
Dark world, ugly days 
Our world! Green world of grin, wickedness 
Few friends to trust, No stays 
Transitioned from poor to bad world, no happiness 

He is gone leaving scar in my heart 
You ‘He’, I’m successionally sorrowing silently for your...
