Prolonged Exposure
I’ve covered the mirrors in our house
With colored sheets, while choking on grief
Black, blue, and green, to my bewildered spouse
Who has wondered what has become of me
And why suddenly I’ve begun mourning

He thinks that I’m a reflection of him
So he doesn’t notice the wounds within
The...

Poetry Commentary Exposure of Isis
(So many were protesting about America's secret involvement with ISIS but I didn't believe it until I read this latest news, shocking and disgusting. Poor innocent Muslims are being blamed for Americas furtive atrocities) 

Wolf disguised as sheep kills the poor sheep
Makes many in the...

Premium Member Twilight - Double Exposure
Sweet twilight time, end of the day,
when sun below horizon sinks
with tranquil sky diffused in gray
and sapphire-melon colored inks.

What peacefulness in your grandeur
when doubled in the mirrored lake
with ripples that give sparks to your
reflection in its gentle wake.

Dark tree limbs frame your work of art
like...

“… The 1986 revolution in the Philippines … brought an end to the martial law imposed by Marcos’ regime in 1972, and saw the accession to power of the first woman president, Cory Aquino.”

Freedom songs of militant optimism
Reigned with victorious patriotism
Liberty shouting spirit of volunteerism
Vanquishing...

Premium Member Naked Exposure
She
relish
The coming
Of November,
Her embellishments 
Scattered around her feet
In rotting putrid decay.
Yet the old tree shivers naked
Meanwhile the common crow’s nest exposed.

Premium Member Sublime Exposure
The soul of a gorgeous woman
Portrayed by the sublime
Facets of her beautiful eyes
Perfect body does climb

Her body overheats in a flash
Colors express their own
Delight opens her exposure
Displays every light shown

She has lost her figure to lust
Eyes scope out her being
A form of love is before...

Soul Exposure
The underlying degree to which we strive to achieve 
the highest form of spirituality by
sticking to the basics is often found in the securest embrace imaginable. Not even a whirlwind of time could blur the solid line that keeps us going in the same direction....

Premium Member Exposure
Abreast in tank top

Seeds deflower battle myths

Red lace lingerie

Under shadow of turret

Flowing combat above doubt


Garland of poppies

Sword unsheathed for wild conquest

Guns orange roses

Heavy metal for comfort

White flag intimate cover


Make love and not war

Coronet for a bouquet

Tiara of peace

Sweet surrender in motion

Wreaths for a renegade cause


18th...

Southern Exposure
A woman’s voice said
Look out the window
and I saw a ravine
with a fresh cover
of snow.
I thought it was the neighbor
but I was alone.
A thicket of trees
reached for the sun
yet I noticed
one was fallen
its age born
in its rings.
Two cats lay on my bed
as I took in...

Premium Member Northern Exposure
Set in Cicely in Alaska
running from 1990 to 1995
centres around Dr Joel Fleischman
star Rob Morrow brought him alive

This a real quirky town Cicely
characters of every imaginable kind
even the Moose strolled around town
makes this a real super find

Joel and Maggie never hit it off
developing a relationship...

Premium Member My Exposure To Fifa Women's World Cup
“Fédération Internationale de Football Association”… that’s FIFA’s whole name
“International Federation of Association Football” is its English translation claim
“F" in FIFA Women’s Cup can stand for “Females” who play the sport-game
“Achievements” of ladies are highlighted midst acceptance issues’ flame.

Women’s Football as Women’s Game of victory, wows...

Exposure
I have this recurring fantasy. I travel to northern Ontario and hire a bush pilot who flies me to the Great Slave Lake. It is a one way trip. 

I carry my trusty Ronco Survival Knife that I bought for $19.95 in a weak moment...

Black panther 
Striped tiger;
Stray cats challenge

Takeaway meal
Fast food dinner;
Family feast

Street bazaar
New offerings greet;
Dazzling array

Crowded mall
Strangers congregate;
Celebrities entertain

Busy walkway crowd
Strange faces meet;
Loneliness loiters

~~~~~~~~~


Tired old couple
Sun drenched faces;
Hair greying with late bus

Child care centre
Noisy kids mingling;
Care-giver disciplines

Hotel atrium
Tourist traffic brisk;
Coming and going

Supermarket shelves
Global brands assemble;
Mini United Nations

God showed Himself to me through my parents firstly
Appearing with their sweet smile, welcoming me warmly
Manifesting fatherly kindness wondrously
Highlighting maternal love-care abundantly.
   
     Growing, I was acquainted with God midst home’s bliss
     Where teaching of...

An Exposure Horn Haiku
An Exposure Horn Haiku

Had been a bad blend
And no one want to offend
Who should this I send?

Came a bulldozer
Creating poor exposure
Now am not so sure.

From earth took big bite
Was it Islam or Shiite
Suffer day and night.

We started to see
All our foreign policy
Will not set us...
