Best Harmonic Poems
My pulse quickened
As tears streamed down my face
I felt my soul race
Notes rising from discarded bits
Yanked out of plastic bags
from decaying pits
Skin sun baked and bleeding splits
Garbage, hand formed into instruments
So that these deaf ears might trace
The spectacle of true dignity
that poverty can't erase
Theirs is a world far removed
from manicured lawns and lace
Strings and frets
Oil cans and pipes
Found amongst the baby wipes
by people painted in scarlet stripes
By society treated like a disease
Some how finding music
from coins cans and keys
Music resonates
From a place with few trees
Pouring forth from polluted streams
People like these
sort out opportunities
that no one else
would ever think to seize
There, a young girl
takes a tin violin in hand
She's transported to a magical land
White beaches and sand
Now symphonic dreams
are hers to command
Each chord played
feels like possibility
A fret held bridge
to a different reality
She kisses a star
Transcends their invisibility
Fruit tins and bent cookie sheets
An X-ray film to create a drum beat
People from around the world
Rise to their feet
Still the ones at home
Don't have enough to eat
Let us practice compassion
Repeat, repeat!
Rise from our seat
Think beyond privilege
In our land of the elite
The ones called "Garbage Pickers"
the low of the low
Moving in harmony quick and slow
What we hear and see
Will it cause our hearts grow?
Do we feel life's rhythm and flow?
For, from what others have discarded
they have something to show
Winds of change are coming
Waters rising
Watch listen and see
where the notes of change blow!

Harmonic Spirits
In a time of past; so far away
just beyond where night meets the day
two little children were born and raised
in the deepest part of the forest, a mystery
their father never saw their innocent faces
Ancient spirits of woodland graves
they became royalty of trolls, and trees
the only two whom were human beings
they lived out life happily
some say they could even hear them
singing in perfect harmony
They ruled and were protected,
by nymphs, fairies, elves, and of creatures
of life and grave
the trees fulfilled all of their needs
The forest and it's wonder a family they became
Mother Nature in loving ways came with the birds and bees
She lifted them up hugging them, giving immortality
in a world with so much pain yet
they knew only harmony all of their days
the legend of the forest royalty they became
healing the creatures that go unseen
saying hello and goodbye for many years
the little boy and girl left beside an old oak tree one dark February
harmonic spirits they are now,
running wild and free...

My guitar sings, it’s reverberating strings; dance with my fingers.
My dulcimer cries and whines; telling folk tales, centuries old.
One with the strings, their harmony brings elation, to my soul.

specified such so as to issue a rhyme,
but proceed as this scribe

yet not the least whirlwind will offset

or hirsute shellacked beehive type do
no matter from what literary website,
an unsuspecting reader will accidentally
stumble upon a ewe

especially if I sheepishly admitted,

stone temple pilot, wildly whizzing,
gurgling in age inappropriate burbling,

prior to putting finishing touches on ma igloo

dill back to the initial pretext

Elegiac Lyric
Darkness encompassing light,
Neither can exist alone,
Love is both, combined as one,
In harmonic bursts.
~~~~~~~~
Love can sprout like a nova,
Entering a heart at will,
For the broken can be healed,
And shine like a star.

waltzing with bees is very harmonic?
A stereo is not stereotypical as it stands for the legs and when legs stand the standing point of the most important works are created in vast swarms of teas which arrive with carefully buttered bread on a tray. But not with forks. Forks frame fake fists and a disturbed nonsense is a dish best left unbaked in a crafty cook oven device. Scent no misted salted lick of a sliver of a spoon. For dashing diving diving divers deliver dreaming dripping dropping daisies. In a curtain of scented musk eat a lemon sandwich with an orange and mint biscuit. Tastes lovely don't you think? Mild mannered as a mule crossing the plains one must adhere to one's duties like a bee kisses a petal. It is very imperative not to clean whilst listening to nothing. Leakage is no mystery nor is it magically laughing in a tight jam jar. Baaaa in a car tut tut tut seeking a **** formation from a diamond patterned slither shape in suspenders writhing exotically but erotic explosions expel erosion expressively and how unique is a diamond dip anyway? Turning a tide on a weapon driven hue is as exact as attempting a tango with eleven bouncing grapes, a spade, a whirlpool and a windshield. Great isn't it? And the mildly driven ice wrath is not a cloth nor a wandering wise wishing winking wind. So count the potatoes in the pan very carefully and always take at least seventeen hours per slice for slices are not sluices nor stagnant. Drip then drive. Hahaha the apples and applets admonishing anarchism no ha to that. Hahaha the palomino place plates xxxxx gigantisms Z Z Z Z

First , to understand harmony as charcterized by a concordant
which is to formerly agree........converge , is to approach the same point from
different directions , to form unity toward a common result . The theory or study of
the physical properties and characteristics of musical sound , analysis being the
representation of math functions by means of linear operations .
Physics / acoustics ; is similar to themselves in regard to " wave "
physics.....and " vibration " acoustics , a melody of chords to produce substance .
Force correlation ; forces such as , heat , electricity , magnetism , light , sound , in
theory is indestructable matter , no material particle can ever be lost , no part of
the force existing in nature can vanish . Force or forces , being different modes of
motion , making them capable at one moment a " cause " , and at the next an
" effect " ; cause and effect , with the beginning of the proton ( physics ) to
symbiosis , mitosis ( biology ) . To understand the physical elements that
surround us , coupled with the biological elements that are us , is to at least
understand the interaction of mutual cooperation with the two properties which in
effect influence our ( 5 ) physical senses . CAUSE and EFFECT............
Hypothetically speaking........is it possible that because of our
biological composition as earth beings , along with the physical elements of our
environment , that is the cause for our perception , where on a different planet ,
because of the different atmospheric elements that don't mutually respond to the
differences , thats why everything can appear barren , a chemical disfunction.....to
take it a bit further , but actually personal , internally , could this also be the
reason for disfunction of self , being barren within , like a desert........hollow ?

great mind over matter to set brainy bedlam
in an organized queue
so while attention of your
might be moderately rapt, this rue
stirring, hen pecked spouse
best stop digitally squawking sew
the ethereal essence can beak comb
brought to cypher awareness too
and in a figurative nutshell,
when doth a scrivener know when to quit
or tubby pointed rhetorical question -
at what juncture does any artisan
more prolific than yours truly
reckon that his/her faux masterpiece
can no longer be perfected?,
cuz further rit

would induce dedicated followers of mine
to undergo severe urge to wanna spit

subsequently they would feel tit

In the warranted spectrum of option.
sitting on the brink has a tempting draw.
I broach the brink precipice with caution
In the warranted spectrum of option.
Every night for one hour, it grabs caption.
I can't dodge night toll of a sleepless thaw
In the warranted spectrum of option.
sitting on the brink has a tempting draw.

and the presence felt was so svelte,
just a brush of angel wings,
a heart an soul were lifted helped,
freedom floating yes was felt,
and gone were earthly things,

Values and disvalues
absorbed through communication
of felt relationship,
absence of connection,
hopeless excommunication.
The Left bereft
Brain justified,
ratioed,
commodified,
diversified,
tooled,
weaponed for rational utilitarian consistency,
reified verbal logic
of neurological systemic Spirits,
feeling co-related events,
critical memories
epic predator/prey histories
Recalling ecologies of sensory attachment/detachment,
felt experience networks of virtual spiraling health values,
virtuously co-arising sensed re-experience ecosystems,
And viciously degenerating
unraveling disvalue cycles,
pre- and post-cycles,
recycles
Feeding healthy value feelings,
unhealthy disvalue memories
back
and back
and back to when Space first felt Earth's shift
balancing bilaterally twinned TimeFlow
for virtuous universal win/win communication
Ego in Here listening kindly
within EarthTribe's perpetually felt spirals
of revolving Now light,
Then dark...

Set sensuous sounds
Glimpse groovy grounds
Ply piquant poise
Charm crafty choice
Lift lovely laugh
Stream simple stuff
Pique precious pose
Rapture red rose
Be bright being
Bloom becoming
Wonder works wise
Rapture reaps rise
Heed healthy heart
Spice succinct start
Make moments move
Greet glowing grooves
Vest vibrant voice
Prize profound poise
