Premium Member Goodbye Corona
GOODBYE CORONA !


Corona, where are you, what are you up to?
l am longing to say farewell to you,
A final farewell, you doom bringer! 
I am not alone in desiring this,
But speak for every dweller on the earth!


You are wrecking our lives rapidly;
We are not toys...

What Actually Is School
What Actually is School?

The Education Act 1996 (UK) defines a pupil as someone “for whom education is being provided at a school,” and as a person under 19, seeing a school as an educational institution outside further or higher education. I think more pupil needs...

Premium Member Dear Republicans For God and Country
Thanks for your letter
asking for a free Taoist consult
on how to bring God talk
and experience
back into our Big Agri-MilitantIndustrialized Busyness Schools
and possibly our extended family lives,
on into our inside Holy of Holies,
our Climates of PanEntheistic EarthSoul Health.

I do wish you had asked me 
before giving...

These Four Walls
Decades have clocked past since we were capped by roof 
As you take your children down the history without and in us
We fondly and times somberly reminisce with you 
When it was just dad, mum and three carefree children 
Now we hold faces of ten...

Like Daisies On Stalks
Besotted winged pollinators
roistering barrage drowned
amidst general insectivorous cacophony
indistinct auditory signals communicated

intermingled with bounteous wafting fragrance
midwifed edenic floral pullulation
sensate admixture viz colored spectrum
amidst unrehearsed extemporaneous

orchestral suite bedded lambs
amorous ewe man like bleating songs
nature all aflutter actively socially vociferating
profuse living color rainbow pastiche

teeming soundgarden smorgasbord
cornucopia ignites mordent...

Premium Member To a Superior Judge
I could not do what you are mandated to do
every day on society's justice bench,
weighing retributive justice 
against restorative healing.

I cannot look with any comfort
at police
and correction officers'
routinely criminalizing vocations,
and courtroom injudicious levying of fines
against the young
and black
and brown
and homeless

Punishing prison sentences
for the most obvious...

Opus In Silk
She who holds a seamlessly symmetrical silhouette 
so supple to the touch 
coupled by hips on sticks of tango, that inimitable set of pins 
simper at all that you clutch 

Bob nearer the eyes of delight 
now attune and bound for that which you pine....

Premium Member Stillborn
As I closed my door and lay down to sleep,
A poem came and violently knocked at my door.
Being quite late, I put a rein on my desire to admit it in
Even in my sleep I could hear the faint sound of a knock.

In the wee...

FALL LEAVES

First    color catches the eye
Yellow    tan    brown
Parented colors of sun and sky
Bronzed    gold-crusted
The breeze seeming to sift 
A finest dust into the air    to lift

Above all   ...

Premium Member Death of Dreams
Our children must not die
before their parents
or parental dreams die with them.

And, for those without children,
this is easily empathized
because our dreams must not die
before we do.

Without them
our best selves have already left
whatever misery and boredom remains
for further degenerating absence of purpose.

As our own remaining children
step...

Cold
It's coming.  Even the white ribbon 
of seabirds who roost along lake's edge
at sundown abandon their customary harbor.
The wind's too ominous tonight, too sharp
with sorrow.  "Elsewhere," say the birds,
as they take untimely exodus.  Such 
melancholia here! not only for death of day,...

Fascinated With Piglets
Young and old with one glance,
A child of children with secrets,
A secret of yesterday’s romance,
 Produced from wild eyed couplets,

But given the slightest chance,
Would live without regrets,
Parented with a glance,
Fascinated with piglets,

How we love to dance,
Before we take our first steps,
Ants tickling in our pants,
Quickly...

Parents
=======

We see this world,
We live in this world,
All due to our parents,
Will anyone deny this?

 Father and Mother,
Cannot be replaced.
No one can take their place
Their love and sacrifice.

Just turn and look behind,
You arrived in this world,
Because of your parents,
No one else is responsible.

You are their...
