Keep It Simple Stupid Poem
|
Long poems are for the birds!
They have just too many words.
I like ‘em short and sweet,
Like something axiomatic that I can “tweet”.
Poems that appeal to people who are real,
Not some long spiel.
Long poems leave me cold.
By the time you’ve finished them you’re old!
“Keep it simple, stupid” is my motto.
Altruistically speaking, I’m not trying to win the Word Lotto.
Long words too with hidden meanings
Are for people with intellectual leanings.
I’m on a word diet.
My asseveration is: Get rid of the fat words and try it.

Keep It Simple Stupid Poem
|
Having mind like a sieve is not always so bad
For discernment in life is a gift
Information jams can cause a Teutonic shift.
For some, winnowing facts is a hard thing to do
Whether used for retention or letting things through
A good sieve has a value like ‘greater jihad.’
Though we meet our rejection sometimes with a frown
We should trust in the service it brings
For rejection is tied to invisible strings
That like harbingers portend some problem withheld
Or a misunderstanding that must be dispelled
Before peaceful ways can be restored to a town.
In both love and in life we should let failure go,
And the lessons learned taken in stride
Clear the decks and make ready to sail with the tide
If your loyalty to the KISS law remains true
You will find you’ve less reason than most to be blue.
And your ego in life won’t be most of the show..

Poet’s Notes:
The KISS principle is an acronym for "Keep It Simple Stupid."

Keep It Simple Stupid Poem
|
In the vast beauty and diversity
of the reaches of the cosmos
impresses upon us all
the shear minute dust we are
in any comparison
The simplicity of laws
that govern it's most basic
and complex movements
Birth , Life , Death
some would distain this as "circular"
as the patterns in creation are
for all things existing within its confines
the birth , life , death of stars , galaxies
entropy and the recirculation of those elements
into new structures encased
in the womb for new material
apply equally to the diversity of structures
cycling on the little blue marble
seed sprout bush tree seed
seed sprout plant flower seed
seed baby child adult seed
same down onthe cellular level
same down tothe atomic level
and its clock
in a state of perfectly circular self propagation
For those who foolishly accuse us of being
CIRCULAR
Let me explain a simple something
how we measure time in the cosmos
is based on a circular orbital movement of planets
and stars
and as for thinking
are questions seeking answers which just
lead to more questions
and that's the beauty of it
simplicity defines even the most
complex systems that function
right down to the circuit boards for computers
and technology
Mama seals it with Kiss
Keep it simple stupid
anyone who doesn't know
a clock embedded in the universe
has not recognized his own
Ecc 8:17
9:5-10

(Proving Once And For All Time That Love Is Not Binary)
Definition of Variables
X, PATH, JOHN, JOHNJOHN, MARSHA, MARSHAMARSHA, ALPHA, OMEGA
Initial Values
SET X=0, SET PATH = 1, SET JOHN = .5, JOHNJOHN = 1000,
MARSHA = .5, MARSHAMARSHA = 1000
Program Start:
LOVE101: LET ALPHA = JOHN + MARSHA
;John And Marsha Equals 1 means
;that the couple feels like they
;are united. However John’s and
;Marsha’s values range from 0-1
LET OMEGA= JOHNJOHN – MARSHAMARSHA
;John Without Marsha Equals 0
;means that the couple wants to
;stay together.
LOOP1: LET X= X+1
DOES ALPHA = 1, THEN CONTINUE, ELSE END
DOES OMEGA = O, THEN CONTINUE, ELSE END
FLIPFLOP: DOES PATH = 1, THEN CONTINUE, ELSE PATH2
PATH1: LET JOHN = FUNCTION (RANDOM NUMBER)
LET JOHNJOHN = FUNCTION (RANDOM NUMBER)
LET MARSHA = FUNCTION (MARSHA’S UNITARY CHOICE)*
LET MARSHAMARSHA = FUNCTION (MARSHAMARSHA’s NULL CHOICE)*
FLIPFLOP1: SET PATH = 2
GO TO CHECKTIME
PATH2: LET MARSHA = FUNCTION (RANDOM NUMBER)
LET MARSHAMARSHA = FUNCTION (RANDOM NUMBER)
LET JOHN = FUNCTION (JOHN’S UNITARY CHOICE)*
LET JOHNJOHN = FUNCTION (JOHNJOHN’S NULL CHOICE)*
FLIPFLOP2: SET PATH = 1
CHECKTIME: DOES X = INFINITY** THEN END, ELSE GO TO LOVE101
END: FULL STOP
Poet/Programmer’s Notes:
1. * If there is a fly in the ointment, (a bug in the program) this is it!
There is some humor in the setting of the initial values here too. Please note
that the initial values for both John and Marsha are less than zero, and yet
both JohnJohn and MarshaMarsha are batting 1000!?
** Also a no no is the fact that no computer can handle an infinite number (or a woman perhaps?)
The moral of this program/blank verse poem is….
KISS (AND OFTEN)
2. In other places I have suggested that a ‘model of reality’ presented in
Physics can be very much like a poem. I think that I have proven here that
a computer program can also be very poem like! : -)
For those not familiar with the acronym, KISS means 'Keep It Simple Stupid!'
This is not some veiled sexual reference! Heck, we are talking about 'Programmers' here!?
3. Is there anyone besides me who remembers a satire of soap opera melodramatics, “John & Marsha’’ that consisted of a man and a woman (both
voices performed by Stan Freberg in 1951) decalring their passion for each
other by repeating their names over and over while organ music played in the
background? Check it out if you can!

Keep It Simple Stupid Poem

(sometimes poetry has to express itself in the simplicity of your heart. i term this type of poem as bedroom poetry. you don't need to be Byron or Shelly just a man with the woman he loves. your poem has to be as gentle as a KISS, keep it simple, Stupid!!)
i love you
not because you have special talents
although you have many
not because you’re beautiful
though i know any artist
would be thrilled to display you on canvas
i love you
not because of your mild nature
you are gentle
or because you’re a genius
i do love listening to you speak
i love you
sometimes life will get the better of you
i expect you will make mistakes
you should know we all have a dark side
i will always be there with a light
the way you have been a beacon for me
i love you
dressed to the hilt for a night out
first thing in the morning after a bad night
when you agree with me
think I'm out in left field
when you hand me the converter
hide it in another country
i love you
unconditionally
happy you're with me
