Best Negotiators Poems

PLIGHTS FOUGHT TOMORROW KNOWN
WRITTEN FOR DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. HOLIDAY 2016 (Versified!)

As days transpires, better we focus.
As life transgress, better our voice.
A walk, a talk, a political aspect of religion and righteousness.
Via the Founding Fathers we separated church and state.
Socio-political and socio-religious are the...

In the history of first ladies
 I never envisioned the strength and power of women that carried a torch of greatness for which they stood.  
From Eleanor Roosevelt to Jackie Kennedy…just to name a few… were the embodiment of beauty, knowledge, class, and pure...

Dear Chris,

I could go into souls as mindbody identities with interdependently co-arising individuation/reconnection processes, also known as living, and in/ex-carnation, but my gut says to go to your 4-soul prototype that has been useful in your work on creating more therapeutically inclusive safe spaces and...

If I became a paranoid schizophrenic
I would begin channeling Jesus of Nazareth
but, instead, dealing with my real world dysfunctional family,
with co-messianically depressing delusions
refracting illusions of gift-it-forward co-redemptive grandeur
leading pilgrim explorations into remembering embryonic hopes
of and for regenerativity
as clearing out remaining cognitive-affective dissonance
about messiah life ecopolitical...

Sages and brethren
gather and share
and slowly souls
are bared;
their tempered voices
and quiet eyes
reserved of judgment
with passing smiles,
moments blend
in current trends
opinions wide
and reflections deep;
the concepts
and irregularities
once murky
now clear.
they prioritize
and familiarize
that staunch resolution
of generation net
will remunerate
and illuminate
through the checkpoints
and formal reviews
through the purple curtains
and open stage
nothing tainted
or bitter
left...

SNOW LEOPARD I

Two months ago
at the municipal zoo, Zena
the snow leopard gave birth
to Asa, a spotted ball of fur
with big floppy paws
Eventually he will grow to
two hundred pounds of muscle
and teeth, cunning and claws and
a forty-foot leap – beautiful,
terrible, perhaps released to
the wild!

Wouldn’t it be...

Pleasant voices
I adore them
they are somehow tuned
those 
mist negotiators
in half of strength
announcing your personal capitulation
pleasantly
holding cards laid in front of you

you

infatuated with spin of his tone
by consent taking the place upon his palms
became
a 
Thumbelina

nop
he won't become your swallow

even though
inclines to the south

you didn't even pull...

Greek mythological
drama flourishes,
nee thrives within
noggin of yours truly
gods and goddesses
sporting Hellenic origins

purportedly cavort
higgledy-piggledy
rampantly running ragged
ruminative raconteur
resultant rueful end product
wreckage of present day me

chafing amidst yesteryear's adversities
shadow boxing doppelganger nemesis
fetus in fetu maintaining stranglehold
choking ability to breathe
unsuccessful roundup eradication
resultant mailer daemons

ruling the roost
time and again professional

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 
I know of a place
A place so rich and fertile 
A place with green trees
With the sweet scent of nature
And the beauty of wildlife
With elegant tall black men and women 
The strongest people I have ever known 
A place gifted with so many dialects...

Diplomats are tireless negotiators.
At table they exercise conviviality –
not for peace or harmony –
rather over caviar, champagne, and oysters.
Food, they avow, is a better panacea
than interminable diplomacea.

I smell odd

Dawn withdrawing,
the night led tottering in.
The vehicle paced the express,
Lots of negotiators their feelings express.
Doors of blessings,jars of troubles,
Fragnace of turmoil,Dirt like sea rumbles.
Then to a destination or such sort,
The vehicle did halt.
And an officer sat adjacent me,
Feeding me with odours' meal.
She smell...
