Best Invention Poems

Zero.
By which nothing is divided.
No zero
no negative
no opposite
no hope
no Adam, no apple, no marriage, no morning.
No mirror
no knowledge
no God, no soul, no ear lobe, no Iliad, no Odyssey.
No universe
no black hole
no zodiac
no hero
no mission, no omission, no fission, no fusion.
No beanstalk
no tractor
no yellow
no 7:30, no...

It begins with a thought
A simple spark igniting
                    the universe of mind
An unconscious gift
Intangible but substantive

The physical mechanics begin
Interpretation of invisible blueprint

Every poem
An invention
Some would say:
When a romantic
Creates a breathing rose
In the mind
For the heart of another
A far superior find
Than all
Man’s Relativities—

So—
Let Einstein rest
Of his atoms
Undressed;
And Galileo
Further divest
In some far
Distant sky,
Too far off
Even
For modern
Glass-eye
Perhaps now,
As I,
Would also decry:
That the artist, alone,
Sees and lives,
A true icon,
Beyond the...

"le temps est une invention des gens incapable d'aimer"

mine is a suspended time 
away from here and sublime. 
there are open doors and windows to my world. 
they are hung and hinged in many flavors swirled.

a phantom paints 
the thoughts of saints 
he draws as he scrawls 
on my...

Necessity
- the Mother of Invention -

A Sunday walk took  me on a journey over six miles,
carrying nothing bur myself, shorts, sweat shirt, sandals.

On Monday, to the grocery store and back, over three miles
carrying all the above, plus twenty five pounds of groceries.

On Tuesday, a...

I’ve got a great invention
I use it all the time
It does the things that I should do
It always works just fine

It cleans my room it tidies up
And puts my stuff away
Does chores I don’t have time to do
So I can go and play

I never have...

Telephones.
These things cause more aggro thanb any single object in the universe,
Firstly if you ring a service you're afflicted by a sadist female voice telling you to know your 
place and follow the instructions,
Secondly if you phone someone with a mobile then its practically impossible...

Long ago, before words were known
Sound simply didn't exist
A smile was the only thing needed
Or a tear, if someone were missed

Love was then, the language of choice
A silent show of affection
Until that day when sound was invented
The heartbreaking cry of rejection

A teardrop had finally found...

Necessity is the mother of invention

Leave us to our creativeness
Cos our necessity 
Is our drive 

We he nothing to lose 

Yes nothingness means 
Something 
Were necessity is obvious

So leave us to our creativeness
Cos is obvious you can save 
Us from our foolishness 


Our deformity

Our bold and proud 
      hyper-cyber generation
has conquered space, 
      has mastered time and motion.

We've tamed our hearts 
      with science's steely logic
and we boast about efficient

I love it
When you touch me
And squeeze me really tight

You make me
Feel important
With all the warmth and light

I value 
Every moment
Even if they’re brief 

Getting noticed
And being chosen
Is such a huge relief

Don’t let
The skies rule you
And tell you what to do

Sitting idle 
In a heap
Can...

Tap, tap, clickety-clack
Thoughts vigilantly stamped
Trademark of transcription
Technology's prologue
Twain's famous "Tom Sawyer"
Time etched black and white scene
Tinted with grandpa's dust

Some get things right the first time.
Most of us do not.
Mistake. Mistake.
A rubber cake.
Okay, it is not edible, but if we roll it into balls, can we bounce it?
Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.
What did you do wrong? My mother asks me.
If I knew that, I would be...
