Best Faulting Poems
Mind and MountainMIND AND MOUNTAIN
Life
A climbing process
A gradual, grand ascent to view?
Mind can inveigle such
To go where all manner wild affecting grows
Foothills of some towering height
Mind can spirit one there
Ascent would be steep
Though earnest, determined
Path narrow
With stones of many sizes underfoot
And trees!
Such a wealth of enduring life
Resonating...

Good GriefIt has come to my attention,
by way of the news,
everybody is talking,
corporations are singing the blues.
They don't have any money,
they blew all they had,
now they're calling on our government,
because their management is quiet bad.
CEO'S with salaries,
that would probably choke a horse,
and since the economy is...

HaibunAT ONE WITH NATURE
~~~~~~~~~~
The sun shines, brightly lights my day. My garden verdant many hues of green. Greater speedwell, resilient, blooms no matter the season. Late spring, early summer it explodes. Late Jack Frost, it copes beyond my imagination. A host to many invertebrates sadly...

I Wish, Oh I WishA huge monstrous olive tree
not giving shade nor bearing fruits,
existing in pains and disappointments
together with the others, they live
is the exact expression of my grieve.
Too hypocritical in being aggressive
and defeated by the contraceptive of my try
condemn and make me believe
I'm failure's chief executive.
How am I...

Spinning Top6/6/12
I begin spinning
Watching the top spiral, winning
The consistancy leaves me grinning
The top still goes
Round and round, alone
When it stops, no one knows
Interesting enough it goes out of control
My heart races in a strange drum roll
The craziness of life has taken its toll
All ablur, it's...

The Old Rugged CrossWhen I exchange life's rugged cross
for Eternity's crown;
my soul is rid of sorrow,
my burden all laid down...
I will trade my rags so wretched
for a grown of white.
When I see Jesus,
everything's 'gonna...

You'Ll Be AlrightTime pauses when your heart's in denial;
refusing to move on as requested.
And regret's offset by a phony smile;
as fledgling feelings are weighed and tested.
When fantasy distorts reality,
there is nothing that you can do or say.
And though your broken heart may disagree,
it's time for you to...

Raising Endogenous MorphineEndorphin power is about positive politics;
it votes with little fading feet running away from negative politics
and WinLose competing economies of victimization,
marginalization.
Stress, dissonance, competitive over-indulgence are toxic
including to the abundant production of endorphin,
which, like its endo-morphine namesake,
creates a peaceful co-empathic trust feeling
that it's safe to believe...

A State of FrightRegrets offset by a phony smile,
time stands still when you're in denial.
And within wants, where hopes are vested,
fledgling hearts are routinely tested.
Tears garnered from ghosts of yesterday,
can extinguish the flames of today.
For when doubt questions reality,
alternate truths and trust disagree.
Hurting hearts are reluctant to dream,

There Is a Brighter Side Three ContestDo you know what it’s like
Being a stray, that is
A homely sight
No flower beds for your biz
People looked at me with pity
As they’d walk their golden doodles
Dachshunds, long and nippy
Those high faulting fools
What happened to a mutt
Being a respectable family dog
I try not to...

SeverAnguish I feel, in decisions once there made
Sharper the pain, then a cut throats blade
So difficult it is, to sever a link
A most bitter pill, a swiftly poisoned drink
Hearts broken, anger left was my faulting
Fates cruelty of lost connection, the final resulting
The feelings in my...
