Best Humours Poems
Devils Fogwhere 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...

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...

BiographyMy 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...

Melancholia is one of the more...

Mystic MomentsEarly 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...

The Element EarthIn 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
were taught...

JudgementJudgement 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,...

With work the house hold duty's come and go

May Moments 2Here 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 ScornsA 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...

QueryQuery 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 Orangesyou’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

and my pate gradually
becomes pregnant
the wind that comes...
