Best In And Of Itself Poems

The world twirls and spins
There's all that axis stuff
It makes sense to some people
I can't tell if I stand still, staring
Or tumble and fall
I see so clearly sometimes
The meaning of life - in an instant
Felt.
Electricity buzzes
Proximity means something
Then the void of not that
I'll slip into...

So many times we see someone in need
Most walk by while they piteously plead
Plead for help that may not come
Plead for love because they have none
So many people just don't take the time
To support their fellow man
Like it's too much to be kind
Too much to...

My imaginary restaurant will be named “All That You Imagine.”
Any food you can imagine, you will be served.
Thanks to technology and a world-class cooking staff,
I can offer my patrons any food that they desire.
However, they must book their table three days in advance!
If their wish...

The Painted Islands


The beaches brushing Hawaii's sea blues,
in and of itself are impressive track,
perceptive picturesque color-filled views.

Like some isles, Punalu'u beach is black.
Elsewhere here, famed Kahena, sandy scene 
aloft cliff's vista that aligns its back.

Punalu'u nears southernmost, you've been
in...

I have crystals in my pocket and sage on the shelf,
I’m always digging deeper to find my better self,
I’m distracted by flowers and herbs I pass by,
I’m caught up in the beauty of all that’s alive,
I track the moon’s phases and bathe in its light,
I...

Love contests in quantities, like numbers,
game of chance for romance by the numbers,

You and you, pick one or two, left first choose,
then right follows through ... awake the numbers,

if I was you, don't let romance wait too,
go ahead, awaken the dead ... numbers,

At last, the...

Silence

Try, try to comment!
You know how you would feel.
If hundreds read your poetry,
And forgot there is a human 
Behind the pen.

You put your heart on paper
And your're passed by like 
a cold breeze.
I've seen great poetry here.
Shocked by the hundreds of
poems never commented on,
A great loss indeed.

The Meaning of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a Blessing in and of itself,
Not something, that just sits upon a shelf.
An act of giving, a symbol of gratitude,
An expression of love, displayed through attitude!
 
Thanksgiving is a Blessing in and of itself,
A prayer for those, less fortunate then...

Potawatomi language,
says Robin Wall Kimmerer,
does not verbally divide us into masculine and feminine.
However, unlike most English verbs,
Potawatomi verbs distinguish between animate and inanimate objects.

For example,
we use sit down
when speaking to an unruly son
and set down
when speaking of what we did with a stone
or a book
which...

On a silver moonlit pillow’s blissful patch I dreamt nirvana 
verses for my sister Jay and our magic mutual bond,  that
gem-enhanced treasure chest, that life support as ironclad rampart 
for our twin psyche sparkle, an infinite reciprocal alignment 
 boldly mocking distance on earth
This...

I am sorry
about my judgmental,
sadly disdainful,
tone
in earlier messages.

Even worse,
I remain embarrassed
for spreading it out
for key staff
and leaders
to well-positioned see
and hear
and feel,
touched by wounded toxicity.

My training 
and experience
includes victimized by homophobia
and healing through community mediation.

Within this mindful context,
I have tried to understand
what you want to healthy...

From the twilight of absolution  - he spoke in cliché, the fantasy of living his dream
having seen and done all the things he ever hoped to see and do, in moderation.
Yet, moderation, in and of itself, can be self destructive to the inquisitive self...

WISE WORDS WAIT, while foolish intellect speaks, 

conceits of mind, holier than thou, to no avail. 

Separates poor minority from select's special conceit elite!
 
Thus FED DARK DREAD, causes divisions of unrest,
 
by the dog eat DOG FOG, SPED DREAD.
 
Into our government,  into...

That golden arrow
And flickering flame
Ceases the tigers rage 
But not forever
No not forever  the tiger will grow like the fire one day
And shine like that golden powerful arrow

Tiger tiger
you can not be trapped in such a feeble way
And you  know that
you are patiently...
