Best Of Import Poems

I find myself in this moment, reflecting on many instances -
          ones that brought great joy or pain, some that brought change
     or love or death, extraordinary moments of memorable things,

The day has come, weeks and countless dollars invested in this moment.
All preparations have been made.
A myriad of nuts and bolts, inspected, tightened to torque.
Fluids fresh, topped to level, tire pressure lowered... maximum traction.
In rank and file I now sit filled with anticipation, fear, expectation.
This...

I sit alone, invisible, on this chair
In a climate conditioned 22.
Surrounded by pin-boards, computers and boxes
At a grey corner desk in a zoo.

Detachable shelves hang, offering a space
To put all our things of import.
People whisper and gossip and mutter and moan
Complaining about public transport.

Glass walls...

A busy wife and mom, she always seemed late
But she didn’t know why, at times she would wait
When a sense of urgency was of great import
Especially to those waiting, most in need of her support

For those of us wondering, “How could she always take so...

ATLAS SCRUBBED         

            Let’s all sit down and discuss this rationally
Since it is of import internationally
And hysteria will get us nowhere
So let’s get a few facts...

Lackluster lives filled with emptiness
Around us everywhere
But … seldom do we notice
They are even there

For we have lives of import – 
Things of urgency
Making our time busy -
It’s our dependency.

We do not see the child who
Needs our time alone
To comfort, guide and teach them
So their...

there once was a man from afar
who stood and held forth at the bar
but the tort he invoked was no more than a joke
in defence of the hot pink galah

now the judge who was wearing a wig
when he heard this did dance him a jig

Control of breathing is quite complex
And if you really check the specs
You find all kinds of balances and checks

Within the medulla, cells playing their role
The DRG, inspirational control
Using cyclic neurons for their goal.

Actions potentials from the DRG
These cells are cyclic and fire intermittently.
Then muscle contract...

A Remarkable Occurrence in an Unknown Location Witnessed by a Handful of Beings 
Who Most People Say Don't Exist

There's a place that no human has seen
In the depths of a forest, pristine.
In a range called "Cascades,"
A great shyness pervades
In the lair of the Sasquatches' queen.

An...

the talk around the table turned
to matters of import
and one of those there seated
was heard to make retort
above the hubbub and the drone
of lively conversation
being carried on at once
expressing reservation
on a point of relevance
to the current topic
underlying all the words
the feeling was entropic
silently they heard...

What is this soul we talk about?
Might I find it in a droplet of water
Perhaps, in a pop tune … a shout,
In a loving mother, an abusive father?
Elusive and ethereal, so hard to find
Is it in our unique thought processes,
A synonym for the individual mind,
Something...

I have given up the carnal pleasures before me
It does not interest this soul or bladder which no longer matter
Teens will still sing with each other and adults will indulge
God and his Law are the only thing that is of import and concern
He would carry...

*** In Simple Lines Poeetry Comes ***

Inconsequential grain of sand
No less a star upon the strand
Than  nebulae, 
in the Heavens grand

Tossed about by waves and tides
No different than a comets ride
Small in scale, yet traveled well
Smoothed and formed on every side

By Heavens hand and Neptune’s whim
And doomed to salty universe...

What I'm good at isn't tackling a most taxing sum
or dealing with most pertinent problems
neither is it giving wise counsel to the wayside fallen
or liberating mankind from chains self imposed.
what I'm good at is far more of import than this

I'm not greatly talented in wading...
