Best Fragments Poems

Fractals.

Spawn of iterating quadratic functions.  
Choreographers of cosmic conjunctions.
Impervious to human dysfunctions.

Makers of multiverses.  Encoders of creations.   
Limited only by imaginations.

Recursive.  Coercive.  Immensely immersive.
Purveyors of poetic creative cursive.

With formative fractals you’ll melt your mind’s shackles
and be anywhere that you...

Tossed upon blank beaches
like men without souls,
shell fragments littering the sand.
Each broken shell once could sing
lyrics lilting of glories past,
tales spun in Dresden colors,
soft, shimmering memories - 
blissful days beneath shining seas.

In broken men who walk the earth,
vignettes I view . . .
shattered beauty every...

Life's highway is strewn,
with fragments,
of rainbow-hued dreams.

Her perfume scent lingers

triggering lives with shots of translucent recurring images and flickering pages, 

permanently installed unto memories and times

that unfurl bringing

to us unaltered,

visions of her fragments

left behind……....

In the shattered mirror of hollow empathy, I see fragments of myself drifting,
Like ash butterflies dancing in the cold wind of unspoken truth,
And their words—"I can't empathize"—are silver arrows piercing through
The illusory veil of superficial consolation, revealing the inner garden
Where I alone grow the cucumbers...

Body,
       Soul
Stop,
      Start
In,
   out
Here,
      There
Now.
       Then
Somewhere,

indistinct chatter
sweeps through my mind
like wind through trees
in winter's high pitched shrills
as memories twirl
in a spiral of thoughts

my heart pauses
beneath fragments
of shrouded warmth
once found in love
and this diminishing sun

i am hesitant to stand aground
where rains have come
between winded breaths
like these trees
naked on dampened hills
i too...

Old Jambu tree
Still bearing fruits;
Generous delights

NDP crowd
Massive tapestry;
Community celebration

Each passing year
Affirms our country;
Diversity in oneness

~~~~~~~~~


We celebrate
Our little red dot;
Gratitude remembers

So much to see
So little time;
Familiar complaint

~~~~~~~~~


Fireworks display
After The Pledge;
Poignant philosophy

Politics means action
Mere words concede;
Happy results count

~~~~~~~~~


Propaganda campaign
True to life stories gel;
Go beyond good intentions

Today is
Another...

on a white sand beach

lie scattered fragments of shells--

my unfulfilled dreams

Her icy breath blows snowy swirls,
etching the land in abstract curls.
Sculpted spirals form frozen art,
frosty fragments of Winter's heart.

Feathery flakes inked white on white
fall from heaven this snowy night.
And icicles, like shards of glass,
cling to the frozen blades of grass. 

Ebony engulfs the night sky,
yet...

A fragment of my soul
Unleashed by the pen and quill
Time and again, pieces thrown away to the wind
Leaving me, older, and a wiser fool
Yet an empty man is left behind

All the fragments have gone
This empty vessel lingers on
As I read words long ago written
I steal...

hidden beneath clouds
lambent light of moon
flickers through silence
within cimmerian shade of night

lambent light of moon
glows atop the crested waves
a ship's guidance

flickers through silence
a lighthouse beacon
abandoned years ago

within cimmerian shade of night
when the moon is dormant
keepers of past light ships way 


trimeric...
