Best Humours Poems


Devils Fog
where did you say you're from?
south Dakota or freezing New York? 
I ain't got a dime to spare you,
but I'll offer you a ride on my wagon.

you better not be staying here long, 
have you heard the humours about 
the fog? 
thick as night on...

Enchantment

Love is not the opposite of hate
that fiery passion
which turns against our heart
like a python through the blood
constricting life

love is what we yearn for
to create delicious selves
the flavouring in our lives
it is a thief that creeps upon us
or steals us from the start

of all the...

Premium Member Biography
My biography speaks easy gains;
Mind photography in words said plain.

I journey here to sing and dance
To fling fond cheer in tact and chance.

I weave magic in verse and poise
To string antics in voice and choice.

My lifestyle speaks of form and wit;
Heart humours peak that message...

Early start
East Coast Ferry Terminal;
Sleepy journey


Trip for two
Getaway spa resort;
Rest and recuperate


Mystic moments:
Retreat into void --
Battery recharging


To re-jig sense
Spur sensorial feel;
Find and anchor


Getaway mode
Three days of rest;
Tropical idyll


Sing a song
Joy floods again;
Refresh soiled templates


Doing nothing
Can heal you wholesome;
Empty cups need refill


So there you go:
Two lovers
Playing...

Premium Member The Element Earth
In ancient Greek philosophy
			and science, Earth was named as one
			of a quartet of elements.
			The other three of great import,
			we're taught, were water, air, and fire.

			The ancients named four "humours," one
			to parallel each element.
			Black bile was most like earth--described
			as heavy, cold, and dry. These points

Judgement
Judgement is a funny thing we all do.
It's been fashionable for centuries,
Yet still we scorn those we deem judgmental.
The great Shakespeare practiced in the humours
To entice his vast audience to judge, 
Yet today it's a problem to spread lies; 
To voyeur someone's traits for protection.
Today,...

Touch the Stars
Gentle hands caress the golden flame 
your kiss inflame's the passion of my soul 
touch the stars and sing your lovers praise

With work the house hold duty's come and go
the more we do the more our love does grow
Gentle hands caress the golden flame

Respect is...

Here by the edge
Downtown district;
A heartland survives


So many moods
Flavours that stretch;
Activity distracts


All sorts of trade
In brisk commotion;
Cash now plastic


Buy and sell
Your old junk here;
Fools fill full


Old signboard
Humours offbeat;
Tourist cameras click


Old antique shoppe
Uneasy display;
Haunting aura lingering


Take a sure peek
Look at old things;
History sighs here


Further down
This street...

The World Scorns
A battle rages within,
Silent thoughts behind a hidden veil,
an ice prince some say,
lacking emotions, a player some term
he is an enigma the world doesn't understand
awkward,anti-social, a fly in the wall,
one who is rarely missed,
a friend to few...an advisor to all
hardly speaking, his silence intrigues all
A...

Query the way you see things now;
Know pulse of play as light endows.

Query the feel you seem to feel;
Know a grand will primes your free will.

Query the path you claim default;
Know primal stuff that humours malt.

Query the sense you bring to bear;
Know present tense in...

Anatomy of the Oranges
you’re not adams apple 

the  fruits from tree of the knowledge 
of good and evil
in the middle of the garden of eden
in genesis

yet at you 
the round oranges of this afternoon-town 
i stare 

and my pate gradually 
becomes pregnant 

the  wind that comes...
