Best Objectifying Poems

Look closely,  feel the harmless heat 
enveloping black-diamond 
         petals in the glistening
            garden of glossy geraniums.
There, sprouts rosemary dreams

For children, summer is swing sets and slides,
ice cream or snow cones, carnival rides,
the school bell’s last ring as kids flee the school,
hot dogs at ball games and days at the pool.

It’s pitching a tent and eating s’mores,
then down at the lake with rowboat and...

A sigh escapes still, immune to overt silence, unabashed...justified
Another teardrop enters the infinite pool of resilience, uplifting...reinforcing
   Another hand empathizes--
          touching, impulsively putting one's heart unto wounds, alleviating pain
    enfolding memories...

Those leaves, like fire before our eyes,
fell down as flames from autumn skies,
then twirled like feathers to the ground
to weave a blanket wrapped around.

Like a chameleon, fall leaves turned,
from scales of green to crimson-burned.
With brushstroke blends of orange-gold,
Bright autumn paintings did unfold.

And like Monet's bold...

Oh, Winter it is time for you to put away your white coat,
and to roll up your tattered blanket once so beautiful;
time for me to put away my cozy comforter;
and my red toboggan still dwelling lonely on the porch.
The fireplace is cold and neglected now,
and...

Spring is a colorful salad
Roses are her radishes
Marigold her croutons
Lilacs in her dressing, dribbling sweetly
She is tossed in wind storms

Spring is a tasty salad
She uplifts the diners
She delights the songbirds
She nurtures the baby lambs
She brings greenery back to the meadow

Spring is a hearty salad
She feeds...

Have you asked yourself...

How do I percieve the world,
what is object reality?

What are these sources
of abject identity,
alienating values which
further seperate sensible unity...
significant to whom and what,
obligatory to how and when,
the free spirit of autonomy versus,
past bondage and expectation...

What is the subject matter,
of objectifying principles...
differing as...

My front porch is my throne today
as I rest in my swing.
The birds and squirrels are at play.
My wind chimes softly sing.

Green grass and my grand ancient trees
have moved my pen to write
of them, of drifting clouds that please,
and butterflies in flight.

Spring’s fragrant blooms engage...

Oh Younger Self!

Don’t be behind at saying what you want, 
Just because you never did have the font, 
Regression exists in us if we fail to specify, 
Objectifying later, our questions to quantify.

Believe only in the people you trust and obey, 
Don’t quantify because you’re...

I want to write to be inspirational.
I want to write so others won’t fear to be confrontational. 
I want you to read my works and say “Damn that was motivational!”
I want to be the one you seek after for guidance and truth.
I want you to...

Flames Of The Evergreen


Rusty sunbelt clench

a rosette of scarlet peaks,

…puffed lipstick trees dip.


Vermilion blossoms

surface on a marooned lake,

blushing a pale shade.


Petals shed to a

subtle red, 'still in the pink',

their ardor of Spring.

Does non-verbal communication
sometimes also mean pre-verbal action,
with unlanguaged intuitions
preceding calculating language
LeftBrain labeling and commodifying
objectifying RightBrain subjective feelings
to their logically languaged conclusions?

Does non-violent communication
sometimes also mean pre-violent fortunate
and threateningly unfortunate
critical rhetorical events
pre-compassioned,
positive and negatively impassioning behaviors?

Actively hoping to send
a properly received message,
an effective message

With practised ease he scans the page
absorbing all he reads
objectifying everything
assimilating needs.
Redistributed word and line
subliminally home grown
presented as original
reference unknown.
The metal of another forge
he promotes as fire grown
this counterfeiting wordsmith
without anvil of his own.
Displaying mediocre wares 
he prostitutes the art
successful in his larceny
oblivious to heart.
For...

My bathing suit under a sundress
I race to the end of the dock
where my adirondack chair calls to me

A canoe glides by in the distance
and a blue heron is poised for breakfast...
the placid lake awaits an August sunrise

Making the most of vacation adventure
a swim at...
