Hydrangea blues
blooming in seven colors
versatile at heart
 
Storm clouds in a tantrum and yet
the rainbow
 
Gently wipes away a facade
reveals a layer
hidden within
 
Pretty just like yesterday
red-hot pokers
 
Playing fireworks 
on lovers' palates 
scintillating...

Fender strung upside down
 big hands pressing strings to frets.
 Woodstocks’ last scheduled act, Jimi 
 exercized his “Right to Free Speech.”
The world heard an eclectic electric version
of  “Star Spangled Banner.” Those notes still
reverberate “All Along the Watchtower.”

“Hey Joe,” “Are You Experienced?”

 “WELL, I...

Be mindful of the Logical Fallacies.

When enlisting proxy's honor yourself and qualify them.

If you ask direct questions respond in kind.

Qualifying ones self as obtuse will not excuse duplicity.

Choosing doesn't preclude choice.

Those who speak of omissions have omitted.

Don't speak if you don't want your words spoken.

I freely admit I love classical music,
And please don't think me a snob
If I keep my composure
When I mention composers
As Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Schumann,
And not Ludie, or Wolfie,
Or Petie, or Bob.

And a symphony simply cannot be enjoyed
At just any old time of the day.

Maybe it was because he was the runt of the litter
Yet, his joy to your heart, I knew, that none could not compare
Friendly big frame, except when Mr. Bill would screams his name
Right by our bed he would sleep while we sang
Ice pellets tapping on...

I came across an old McGuffey's Reader the other day.
Let me endeavor to tell you about it if I may.
Seems in days of yore, educational aims were more sublime.
Political correctness had yet to reach its querulous prime!

Rife with exercises for forming a solid education,
It was...

AN ECLECTIC ENIGMA 1
The rhythm of life,spontaneous
and easy,lively & special a touchstone
of the ephemeral.An all embracing delight
imagination made manifest of stray
objects.Inspired informality,of
leisured elegance,a pervading

Quiet& simple charm in divine
eloquence,perfection in simple
continuity to bring a shared rapture.

AN ECLECTIC ENIGMA 5
Awareness,articulated,emphasises inherent
intimacy,communicated eye to eye.
Everchanging yet underlying the movement
,here and there.Engraved forever,catalogued
in human memory,available on recall.
Translucent interplays of lght,figuration in
transition,precise palpitations of pure delight
sound in the beholders ear.Testaments of
transparent,and the temporal,all too soon
evaporates before the eye.

AN ECLECTIC ENIGMA 2
A sense of the scared,where the
spirit finds liberty.An everchanging 
interplay in perfect counterbalance.
This reciprocal aesthetic of reflections
synthesized in a balanced vision.
Shadows and light,intense contrasts,
circles, and squares juxtaposed
in a filtered dynamic of visual pleasure
Inspired by Jim Ede’s collection of artworks

avant-garde of the geometric
in three dimensional desire.

sWords>>>> Cruel Intentions

Cruel and piercing words             
insinuations that wound
leaves the heart bleeding


Careful Words……

talk, listen, ponder
for many speechless moments
share secret wisdom

Unspoken Words….

Sometimes in silence, I behold
Unspoken words of brightest gold
Thoughts are still; unexpressed
Like sparkling...

I once knew a man who was dyslexic
It really made his whole world hectic
The manner he preferred
Was to write things backward
His poems were poetic eclectic...

Personal Ad -Advertisement-Article- (In need of something a little bit different)

I'm looking for a female with a personality other than herself
Someone different from me. Tranquilized, homogenized and light
Traumatized by clowns and cotton candy
This individual should be alive at the time of this printing
You must come...
