Premium Member Ocean Commotion
wind lifts salty air
scent of the sea fills my hair --
fishing without care

pelican dives fast
shrimp on the hook was my last --
strips the bait I cast

turn with quick motion
see crab stealing sun lotion --
ocean commotion

A Great Commotion
The ambience was changing
At the fading of the light.
I could feel a cool embrace,
The coming of the night.

In the sky, a great commotion
Countless starlings did I see
A swirling murmuration
In perfect symmetry.

Fluid moving patterns 
Writ wide across the sky,
Oh, but the joy of it
To watch these...

Commotion At a Bus Stop
I ride the bus to work,
and sometimes I put on a very displeasing look:
I complain with sardonic humor,
" These city buses are never on time! "
The scruffy man beside me sweats and scratches his hair,
" It's so damn hot and lateness is a crime! "


And...

Premium Member A Quiet Commotion
You would never know
Just looking at me
Sitting there ...
Alone in a crowd

What's going on
In her head ...

While they whisper

She's shy
She's sad
She's cold

None of that

It's simply this ...
A quiet commotion

From my heart
To my mind
And back again

Swirling, settling
On the words
Swirling, settling
In the ink
Down the pen
Out to meet
With...

Commotion
Evening star risen,
   Commotion in the night blue,
      A murder crisis.

Commotion

Emotions cause commotion

feelings deeper than the ocean

i’m choking and hoping and praying

and I’m just saying

that I hope I can survive

cause I really love life

but I’ve got a knife

stuck in my back, attack, attack

I put it there myself & I can’t rip it out

my throat is...

Commotion
My thoughts are confused
My mind tormented
I feel like I’ve been used 
By this thing who pretended

I have been put in a maze
To discover and escape
All the time of my days
I’ve been stuck to it like tape

But as I reach the end
I realized I was betrayed
But...

On the last seat of a school bus
A boy and girl were making a fuss
Driver was alerted
Attention diverted
Hit a pole causing one last thrust...

Commotion
Commotion,
Of Emotions,
Of thoughts so endless,
Created a loud buzz in my mind,
But for people around,
Yet was soundless...

Each one honking,
For a green signal,
Each one looking forward to move ahead,
For an answer, for better,
The moment it got clearance,
In just a few meters it got stuck again.
The other thoughts...

In Motion Or Commotion
In Motion Or Commotion

Thoughts and feelings poems put into motion.
Do settle things down or can create commotion
Wake you up so you can start becoming aware
There are things in life that will need your care
And be sure to include your love and devotion.

After the Commotion
After the commotion and the grave,
All that's left is the quiet.
And to listen but only hear
The strangeness of the night.

When all is gathered up
It seems almost the same.
As love is swept away
And the heart not used again....

The Promoted Versus the Demoted
Underrated Basil got a promotion
And it caused a commotion
Among luckless names for demotion
All of them restive and voicing the notion
Of An Elevation fathered by emotion…
They shall for the two wrongs raise a motion
Before the cause of their commotion:
A man you could enrapture with perfumed lotion,
That...
