Keynote

"Keynote"



"hand me your keys," 

she says smiling coolly
into his breeze

throwing getaway notes
out the window 

the sharp beaked blackbirds
flee scurrilously 

back where they belong
in the past, 

broken behind 
their token barriers

Heckle 'n Jeckle
Comic strip characters 

yapping their disappointment 
on a telephone line

singin' as always 
their sad ol' songs

she laughs, 

"move over, I'll take the driver's seat,
I'll turn your engine on"



(LadyLabyrinth/2021)



"The Uncertain Smile" / The The (Matt Johnson)
https://youtu.be/5bErFXjUGvQ




"Peeling 
the skin back 
from my eyes
I felt surprised
That the time
on the clock 
was the time
I usually retired
To the place 
where I cleared 
my head of you
But just for today 
I think I'll lie here 
and dream of you"





keynote.

;)
way too cheeky...

Premium Member A Special Thanks To the Bumbles

A Special Thanks to the Bumbles

We give thanks to the creator
for you, special pollinator,
the miracle of natural homes
for workers, queens, eggs and drones.
Golden like the noonday sun
colors like no other ones.
Hail all power to the queen
keynote speaker of the scene.
Thank you to the laid-back guys
fathers of the honey hives.
Let’s clap for the worker chaps
who gather up the pollen schnapps.
And then the ones who give a sting.
Thanks again for everything
that bumble hum close to the ear
when we just don't want you there.
We cannot say it ever too soon
women cannot wear perfume.
How strange that from your angry brood
would come this tasty, healthy food.

Boundage

Dedicated to a Nun that was raped by a Hindu gang in Orrisa in India.

Bondage dawdles but dauntless rambler.
Glimmers as goblin a goblet gambler.
A heartburn glory chalks a chandelier.
A granite lineage outdistanced gondolier.

Responsive restitution a splitter sponger,
Guttural estuary grumbles bounded cavalier.
A bony strangled receptacle receiver,
Keynote bolted storm violate believer.

Poetic Mendicant

by Michaelw1two

 The bard, the muse, the low versifier,
 each the times bemoan;
 stressed by compassion's grasp,
 ingrained word sown life disowns;
 individualist rare, previews minds mood,
 frigid wills he does discern;
 insurrection, a thought held vast,
 implied truth's, tout one’s dishonor.

 Prerogative, free your chained mind,
 release past stain despotic;
 concomitant imbroglio once bound,
 faces now this world chaotic;
 temporal truth outweighs want,
 life’s bliss questions idea quixotic;
 perceptivity palpable eoan,
 entwined societal gist, riddle semiotic.

 Incessant proves life’s filature,
 its touch, binds each into account;
 emblements, an inedible gruel,
 thought as fruit, abstruse keynote;
 historicity, prime number obscured,
 self’s augmentative connote;
 coincibency jesting theft,
 petitio principia, intones snidely cantor.

 Initiates, anew in words from blood,
 long of mindfulness and mores;
 misconstrue one’s meanderings,
 as logical crazes, fecundity ignores;
 interpretation, ideas coalesce,
 worked verse provides the Id amore’;
 contradictions, fuel creative trysts,
 twisted thoughts, this art restores.

 Orient then one’s psyche appetent,
 as present wanes benignly;
 dupery thrives, flexile ideas hide,
 within abderian punning finery;
 circumscribe in self perspicacity,
 release your jocularity divinely;
 sagaciousness poetic ruse,
 a mendicants muse, his true babblery.

What Would Have Been My Hong Kong Summit Speech

I was personally invited to be one of the Speakers and sit on a panel in Hong Kong on their keynote presentation of “SOCIAL MARKETING STRATEGY INNOVATION”
It’s all about having a precise plan using all of Technology to the fullest
The company’s voice being the cyber space waves
Before it was just digital designs and prints to convene the message of Social Marketing
Now it is communicating live One on One and into multitudes
Technology is a powerful tool if you know how to use it
Strategy being the component in how to formulate being competitive in Social Marketing
It is no longer speak and just spread the word
The idea is making your company the frontrunner in being heard
It takes courage and determination to ride the “SURF TECHNOLOGY BOARD” and maneuvering the high cyber space waves
The words are cyber and advance
The idea is think analysis, but don’t haste
Advertising must be on target
The sales pinch being the bull’s eye to a perspective client
SOCIAL MARKETING STRATEGY INNOVATION means being on the move to keep up with constant moving technology
Large audiences you want to reach mobility through out and bring awareness to what Social Marketing is all about
You must INCORPORATE, COLLABORATE AND ELEABORATE in being competitive in order for strategy to work
There must be productive objectives and an outline having primitives of sound solutions with defined analytical conclusions
Yes, that would have been my speech
I am a good communicator, and I would have taught and educate
However, I turned the summit down
I won’t be Hong Kong bound
Yet, I have Social Marketing Strategy Innovation knowledge, and I will always be around.

Rainbow Coloured Concord

Teardrops fall,upon tiles of black and white,
playing the hearts melody,a soulful insight,
key's of seven,scaling higher notes,
crying octaves,which the soul has slowly wrote....

The flats and the sharps,added to the strings,
enhancing the feeling,which despondency brings,
distant wanderings,in search of understanding,
only too find,the distant meanderings....

Sheets of music,arranged and composed,
within' compartments,subjectively transposed,
sweet melodic interludes,stages of transition,
blazing cresendos,marking a soul's position....

From the beginning keynote,awakening desire,
songs of silent streams,gracefully aspire,
extending toward heights lofty in nature,
rainbow coloured concord,serendipitously demure....

Premium Member Upon Angel Wings

Restless slumber disturbs the lady; swift thoughts float
Like yachts  silently sailing by the grand keynote
After the short, hot night of summer's compact dreams

Active fluid inferior frontal gyrus streams
Unsettled speculation ends when sudden beams~
Dawn arises upon angel wings of soft white

Offers reflection of topics on which to write
Deep in grooves seeking spiritually nonfinite
Awaiting the rising of a bright fireball sun

Expressions imprinted released outward for fun
Or curtail humor get ready my son much done
That opens a new summer day to fulfill all

Spirit filled day open to wonder what might fall
Sweet angels surround, lift, caress, remove pitfalls
As the sun arises gold prophesying hope

Let hope radiate out full like a kaleidoscope
The language bring communion like a gyroscope
Angels guard precious souls 'til they arrive home

After the short, hot night of summer's compact dreams
Dawn arises upon angel wings of soft white
Awaiting the  rising of a bright fireball sun
That opens a new summer day to fulfill all
The hot sun arises gold prophesying hope
Angels guard precious souls 'til they arrive home

finis'

Premium Member God Is King

God is King! He is robed in majesty and strength. 
                        The world is his throne.
          O Lord, you have reigned from prehistoric times, 
                       from the everlasting past. 
          The mighty oceans thunder your praise. 
         You are mightier than all the breakers 
                pounding on the seashores of the world! 
          Your royal decrees cannot be changed. 
          Holiness is forever the keynote of your reign.

Does It Make You

He is surviving the burden 
Of your heart striving to harden
For loving you has never been a bargain 
Yet even in his unspeakable pain
He wishes for a daughter no other 

You say he has never been a better father
Oh yes, you have got this from your mother 
But does it make you a better daughter 
To toss him through hell and high water 

You say he should have been there
For him to recently reappear 
And claim he loves you dear 
That his conscience is now clear

But isn’t your deaf ear 
That refused him to hear 
When he was on all four 
Admitting that he had to fall 
To realize his flaw.

Forgiveness, you preach
Second chances, your keynote speech 
You claim it is but a rupture 
That led to unpreventable breach 

To your authentic posture  
In reality, they don’t come free 
In fact they flatter your vanity 
But does your sanity
Reflects the actuality 

“Put yourselves in my shoes”
You ask 
But have you ever put yourself in his 
Alas!
You don’t take that to task 
But his failings to unmask 
Has never been to you so easy 
While shame is to crime so nosy 
You deny yourself the gift 
Of forgiveness  

And so he dies 
Deprived of seeing 
His last wish materialize
But has you heart stop bleeding 
As you no longer need to repudiate his pleading 

“It was not his fault”
Says you mother at last 
“I lied to him that you were not his daughter”
So we wouldn’t be bothered as you grow older
Now does it make you a genuine hater. 
To just give your mother a hug
And then embrace her

Examinations a Devil Part 1

Dear students Examinations denote
That you and teachers clearly emote
Their feelings out and try to devote
Their time and energy for this rowboat.
Mind that nurtures it will surely vote
Their success to teacher to roam afloat.
Let be a doctor, teacher or student tote
Examinations did need a nice quote.
Whether you be known or remote
Is decided by many reports wrote.
Evil or bad about exams is misquote
By all as it leads us to get more groat.
Ravana like teachers do connote:
Exams are tiny tot like just a mote.
The only tool which writes footnote
For children and save them from a dote.
Lastly, it is just like Gita a good keynote.

Scything

Why did your hand
become the fist ?
You were thinking about the indignities
heaped upon the lake,
when you were retrieving a song
of freedom from the depth of questions.

There was no capitulation.
You went on opening the congealed-
blobs of blood to know 
the keynote of violence.

The sectarian hate.
It outlives the love of brotherhood.
You want to go back to, from where
the jungle starts. It had swept
away the snow-white young
peaks.

Footprints of some movement.
Can you see that ?
