Best Denoting Poems
It's there.....
There .....in the sky
Looking like
A bowl of rhubarb and custard
The fiery glow it emits
Looking like a giant fireball.....
Ready...to descend to earth
the moon in all its glory.
What does it mean?
Denoting spring is on its way
Or goodbye winter ....
Here's hoping the sun will shine as brightly.
It is lighting up the earth
Capturing it ...saying I can do anything
Make you look so different ...
Make you overheat and fry.
Why is it so red?
Has it gathered up the volcanic dust
As it passes through the atmosphere .
Like a pearl in an oyster,...to release a round jewel
Brings a smile to our faces
A warmth to our hearts
A soul all aglow .....
The red moon captures all

Once in a blue moon not very often
Without over thinking it
Something i wrote makes me
glad i did
Because it obviously touches a
nerve or stirs the soup in other's
as it did with i
And when i log on at the top
of the page a bubble appears
with numbers in it
Denoting i my friend have
received comment mail
And when i click on and begin to
read them
I am glad such kind comments
and many positives appear in front
of me for may i say a deserving
one of our own worth it
So kind regards to 1 and all
of you who took the time to
comment show and share
your support
You did a good thing here
not because you could but
rather because you choose
to do so
She obviously is in and keeps
good comany as so do you
Kind Regards
Yours Sincerely
From me to Yee
Guild of Writers
So to all of you may i say this
Speaking only personally
my parting word's i wish
to say and gift to thee are
Best wishes
Love
Humour
&
Goodwill
And once again thanking you
i say
You did a good thing here , here

Either silent or eloquent
A name there must be
To be a speck in the infinity
Without the speck, high or low
Where the heck you can go
So I have a name too
Denoting both red and blue
The colours of courage
To struggle in the race
Of pleasant survival
It is elimination in namelessness
Disintegration like disgrace
A shame
It is integration in a name
Sometimes toward the hall of fame
May be in a global group
Or at least in Poetry Soup
So I have a name too
In order to be distinct to you
In dark and dew
Though doubtful in poetry soup
Again a disintegration in a name too
In the zoo
Of religion, cast and creed
Instruments of power and greed
Namelessness here might eliminate
The black holes of disregard and hate
I dislike the surname of my name
Indicative of higher caste claim
A profound nonsense
In Indian culture
A rose or a non-rose
A name must be there
To get close and warm
Into your charm
Silent or eloquent
Strong or faint
In paint or poetry
Alone or in a tremor of chemistry
Mere you and I will not do
We need a name
In the eternal game
Hence my name
Pointing towards radiance and spirit
Though I am nowhere near it
Still trying for some resolution
Of restless conflict

In a field of perfect night,
There is a blue dot.
What is its purpose?
What is the point?
What is it doing here
All on its own? Is it some
Divine punctuation mark,
Denoting the end of eternity?
Or is it a concrete representation
Of the oneness of the universe?
What does it mean by its
Blue silence? It is a mystery,
This blue dot, out here
In the middle of eternity.

So deep a love to feel
Your muse Cupid would wonder
When the golden chance you couldn’t steal
Preferring instead to explore gambits like a gander
Pushing a prevarication scheme without a clear
Strategy as to where you felt your breakthrough
Would emerge from, dear
Although to your credit you remained true
Supposing luck once again to your side
Would come swinging the pendulum
In your favour as aside you pushed your pride
To beat the drum
Whose rhythm like a wedding bell
Stimulated heartbeats into faster pulses
Denoting chances to lift the veil
On your romance for impulses
To hasten the tempo of the tango
For both your heart and hers to dance
To disentangle
Knots and spots of bother to advance
The agenda to win the love
For which all along you long
To hold, hold, hold on wings of the white dove
That your resolve makes strong
As seconds tick
You break the ice
Knees growing weak
Lips trembling once, twice, thrice
You squeeze Betty into your arms
Bodies entwined
No more romance doldrums
Love in the end redefined and refined.

In the shadows, harpies linger as agents provocateur,
for the Fallen Watchers, for pecking order.
Prostitute mercenaries,
addicted to mercury and disorder.
Their claws sharp, their cries a shiver,
their motive insanity from hell's hateful quiver.
They pluck you from the light of day,
leave you in the flames to barter the fray,
to drown in the sea of faith no more.
Till nightfall,
where they tend the fires of a black wind,
poking signal lures,
preying for entropic thunder,
and romantic moon,
lyres to ascend your spirit
for the purpose of dropping you again
in despairs pit and swoon.
Denoting your abandonment and seclusion,
shoeing the fit,
wild horses couldn't drag them away.
Hoping to find you behind chaos's fire-line,
enemy mine,
a broken rhyme-
not asKing for a new day;
a soul adrift, in a sea of doubt,
no compass, no sails, no wind,
no faith, "tag you're it, hide your eyes and don't count."
on being saved from the fade to black
from grey lack of faith.

DAFFODILS AND AQUAMARINE GEMS
Daffodils blooming in wild profusion
Warm, lazy, balmy days
The sparkle of my high school class ring
With its stone of aquamarine
My birthday on St. Patrick's Day
Being born in Dublin (Georgia)
All taking place in the month of March
It doesn't get any better than this
Unless you – because of your stone
Or perhaps your flower
Each denoting the month of your birth
Cause you to feel as I do about my own
Thankful for life, health, family
Grateful to the God who made it all possible
Gem stones and special flowers mark our birth
And the God of the universe orchestrated it all

Jungle to Jungle
Layers and layers of lush, razor-sharp, green foliage, providing, equally perfect habitats for multitudes of species exotic. Host to panthers, pythons and multifarious arrays of life yet unknown by man. The sundry lot a’ top the food chain to the tiny jungle mouse low on the hierarchy…
animal kingdom
survival of the fittest
whence left undisturbed
Cross the bridge mistaken for familiarity and entrée’ asphalt territory. Layers and layers of human dwellings built vertically and horizontally one on top of the other. Attractiveness denoting socioeconomic status. Undergrowth thick with history. Yet, who is your neighbor! Most times a mystery. Lowly is the mouse in both settings…
of human species
attributed to their wealth
live comfortably
Animals hunt to live, while humans hunt for sport. Nature alerts its inhabitants to danger through sounds, smells and instinct. Metropolises hide their red flags so easily through normal chaotic interactions and the flawed idealistic, the Just, who still hold on to the belief of basic human morality. Need we take a lesson from nature’s jungle to the concrete jungle?

I was born with this name
A name that cannot be moved.
Through my struggles and through my pain
These shackles I shall remove.
Dignified in all my ways
Eminent proven that can't be replaced.
I am a true man of virtue
That cannot be measured by time or space.
I'm a Star of my own
Reflecting the rays of my thrown.
Magnificent and Majestic
In the land of milk and honey, I am the backbone.
Often misunderstood,
Confound and misconstrued.
Even in contempt of their judgement
My adulation infatuation will remain intact for my brood!
My love is undenying
Everlasting and undying.
Unreplaceable, indestructible
My fable inspires that transcends to be noble.
The King of my castle
A fraction define from a point of a decimal
Denoting in the tenth power
That represents the commandments of my counsel.
In translation...
I'm a man unrecognized by his emotions
Yet his word's expression
Forms a principle which defines in connotation.
My concentration
Concerns to adjourn any iniquitous Interpretation.
Adjudicated as if uneducated
Yet their mind's unable to define the intonation of my elucidation.
So therefore there's no question!
That I am...A son reflected by his own creation.
In his own reflection
My third eye indicates the gift of this phenomenal articulation.
So as my motivation
My delivery will continue to build in its meticulous manifestation.
A man that will man up
To whom, I will claim to recognize his own dejected aberration.

Amidst the budding
branches the Robin sings, the song is
carried tunefully in the spring air.
denoting that all is well in his world
Every sound listened to by all
from tiny field mice scurrying looking for food. to the
giant grazing cattle happily eating the young grass
Hammy hedgehog listens, his little tongue
is busy eating the cat food left out.
Jewel like blades of wet grass hide the
Koi carp swimming
lazily in the garden ponds, enjoying the sun's warmth.
Many beds of daffodils their perfume intermingle with the
nearby tulips who stand tall, their many hues
overcome your senses, the tiny snowdrops
perfume infuse with the hyacinths as they all
quietly make the colour and perfume of Spring.
Raised temperatures, bring out the people to enjoy the
sunshine to their bones, lifting their souls.
Taking notes of what has survived the winter,
unhappy when they find a favourite
variety of plant
wilted under the pressures of winter's
Xtreme cold.
Yes, spring means a smile to the face, a tear to ones eyes,
zest to the soul.

If you stare at the sun long enough,
your eyes will become the desert
they’ve always failed to see;
Just beyond the limits of their
perception. Empty, dry and tragic.
If you stare into a pool of water
long enough, you’ll see the vivid
reflection of years meant to wade
through relevance, yet stopped short,
trapped in the irises you’ve held
in a skull destined to become part
of an ocean’s reef; another story
lodged in the coral of ironic distraction.
If you read these words, and look into
yourself
…just long enough
You’ll see a life meant to be defined
not by the elements around you,
but by the intention in which you
choose to see, and be seen.
The ripples in the water,
made by your stroke could
drown you, or push you further
toward a destiny written in the
eyes of elements curated by a
glow not of the sun, but of your own.
You are at the helm,
twaddling notes, denoting
the curious expectations of
a young drifting sum of celestial
coordination. Where you go is
up to you. What you see, feel,
what you hear, taste,
What you change…
is in the heart of each moment
you continue to turn the cogs
of understanding, and breathe in
the truth of why the wind pushes
you toward a horizon that continues
to stray.

Why do you tempt me with mischievous eyes
Playful and naughty; do they tell or dare?
Are you an angel, devil in disguise,
Should I be trustful, or should I beware?
Why do you tempt me with a winsome smile
Not all-revealing, but denoting more.
Chinks in my armour ... should I stay awhile?
Fatal attraction which I can’t ignore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, stay awhile and find out what you will
My eyes reveal the pleasures that await
Take off that armor if you want this thrill
You know your hunger only I can sate
So take a risk, and bare to me your all
If angel or if demon, do you care?
Into my searing arms you’re meant to fall
Now take a step, move forward, if you dare!

Coloring my lips red in your praise
This cold spring

Your patience against my impatience
Laying your lips soft on my fragrance
A silent dawn
breaks

Landing compliments on paths taken
Drizzles in the wind, leaves are shaken
Sunlight filtering through

Jewel illumination
Touching you with my soft silky voice
Moistening my lips to enhance yours

6. Incompleteness of the education curricula/ In-availability of areas-subjects-courses
that will enable others possessing other intelligences discover themselves-excel.
Other factors affecting intelligence are:
Language comprehension and expressiveness, Self reasoning and ability to generate
solutions, Sense of timing-Rhythmic accuracy (psychologically and physically) and Abstract comprehension and representation etc.
NOTE
Interest does not necessarily drive recepto-recreativity, it may drive it to an extent, recepto-recreativity is more accustomed to novelty and does not rely totally on interest and understanding to retain and retrieve information. It does not need orderly links-logical processing to form a meaning, instead it creates its own method of storing, retrieving and linking to form information, remember and make personal meaning. It is a branch of receptivity crowned with the ability to remember by giving-ascribing personal meaning to things. The person forms his/her own links to make personal meaning but it might not make a realistic meaning to another person. It is a technique that enables-aids the individual in remembering, not everyone has the ability to do this simultaneously with other things (multi-tasking, retaining information/sequences of steps/information, ascribing personal meaning to information or steps/sequences of information/processes/procedures, remembering virtually all the sequences/steps/procedures and information and recreating virtually all the steps and information).
Recepto-recreativity is a personal term the author ascribes to individual technique/s of denoting information. All the factors listed are not taken from any source but are merely the author's thoughts, observations and somewhat conclusions.

A seagull cuts across Her harbor,
riding a thermal rising offshore.
And an ocean, ripe with primal smells,
splashes salty brine upon Her core.
She stands in solitude, gazing out
toward Her birth land and sister twins.
In Paris and Luxembourg Gardens,
they, too, hold their torches to the winds.
"Liberty Enlightening The World,"
She represents freedom and kinship.
And dubbed "The Statue of Liberty,"
She evokes two nations' friendship.
A gift to the U.S.A. from France,
she symbolizes faith in Mankind.
And this copper-clad lady's a friend,
holding her torch high for all to find.
At her feet lies a broken shackle
denoting freedom from oppression.
And wearing the crown of seven seas,
She displays a regal expression.
Greeting ships in the New York harbor
She's shod in sandals, unlike a queen.
And poised with dignity and grandeur
She stands tall and proud; in robes of green.
