Best Diminishment Poems

For what it’s worth, this day’s for earth
And ways we can protect it,
For all the harm we humans do
Is proof we don’t respect it.

The litter that we fritter
Often ends up in the ocean
Killing those who live below to set
Diminishment in motion.

And global warming is transforming
Habitats...

AUTUMN LEAVES-GROUP OF TEN COLLEGE MATES
==============

Summer ends, Autumn comes,
Days become shorter and shorter.
The green in the leaves fades away,
And red and orange take its place.

"Autumn Leaves" is a group of ten leaves,
Sprouted at Peradeniya fifty five years back.
Started meeting once a month with pot luck,...

As I look back across more musical times
of rhythmic reflections,
ceremonies and commemorations
of each dawn and dusk eremitic liturgy,
if that is not an oxymoron
of sound and sight,
song and dance,
tragically sad, yet also bilaterally bound with happier chance 
of liturgical comedies 
reflected upon together.

And as we look...

Never have I seen a star
That did fall so very fast;
Tis a pity that its brilliance
Could not the longer last

But stars sometimes go out that way,
Having burned intensely bright;
So we weep for their diminishment
And a slightly dimmer night.

I could not do what you are mandated to do
every day on society's justice bench,
weighing retributive justice 
against restorative healing.

I cannot look with any comfort
at police
and correction officers'
routinely criminalizing vocations,
and courtroom injudicious levying of fines
against the young
and black
and brown
and homeless

Punishing prison sentences
for the most obvious...

Someone who once loved me dearly
Now despises me.
In such small things are paved the roads to hell.
A turning away from grace.
A tail-spinning stumble down the stairs,
Hitting my head on my lofty ideals
On my mistaken belief in cloud formations.

The death of romance sheds the most morbid...

A hint of helping this wholesome Harris son
can across thru the air
Hence this poetic expression
of gratitude Matthew Scott wants to blare
And communicate my genuine
appreciation crystal clear
Toward one whose existence
more valuable to me and dear

As thee doth become older
with natural diminishment with eyes and ear
But lo…tis...

I do pray to the government and the future,

I do see the complacent and our need for a feature,

I'm here, 
no race, 
no peers-

just 27 ears and you with your clear,

I do pray for the government and an indelible fact of diminishment,
and thanks for today's...

A Healthy Relationship Betwixt Yourself And Only Heir

the blogger
is the wretched chicken
laying an asteroid.


the city dweller
is the self identifying
contagious forlorn.


he strives 
for the praise.
he strives 
for a masterpiece.


he is
in fact
a ruffian. 


the breasts 
of equality
the jaw of
rebellion.
the revolutionary
spark plug.


the YES MAN!


in this world,
when you are left to the bone.
no one wants to...

At the shrinkage of the page
Expressions plead for length
Inhibition imposed on lines by columns
Words already accustom to scarcity
Pieces find focus in incompletion.

Thoughts flutter toward temples
Ready to leave prints on a canvass
Diving into ink, drying before depart
Leaving smudges with hints of beauty
Never a portrait to hold...

May supreme Force
become You.

How is whiteness
like straightness?
she asked

And how is maleness
like left-brain dominance?
he responded.

It seems, 
to usually curious
and always ancient
right with left dipolar ecofeminist Us,

Contracts are secular agreements
designed to improve mutual odds
of losing less value
as invested across degenerating time.

While Covenants
may be all that contractual business,
But...

Hearts succumb to tragedies, lead by pseudo eternities
Reaching out once more, in futility
For a spoken hope, that is void of action
Watching success bloom, breeding envy toward a friend
The cycle is harsh, every new beginning enticing an old end. 

True to become emotionless, could be a...

As hapless vapors of decay, surround us, suffocating the fecund earth. A blanket of suffocating grey, born from the diseased aspirations of humanity. We, the self-appointed masters of a planet in shambles, gaze upon the ruins of a world that once spun golden, now barren...
