Shadow Play

While Freud sits at the mind end of the couch phallus in hand
shapes others’ dreams in unspoken imposition ‘must-abation’
analyses abuses his daughter in metaphorical incest projects
his own aggressive sexual drives and neurotic megalomania

Jung after killing the father figure sits with and under shadows 
gathers...

Premium Member Crop Failure - Bitter Harvest
The past can’t tell the future; I'd almost forgotten this,
The past six years had brought me higher yields than average,
Though expectations soared, now nada, nothing, zilch.
Our wheat fields decimated from the lack of rain.
And those who bought insurance, now farm firms who lost the bet.
But...

My Footprints
It's not footprints that we should be talking about -
They’re personal – my footprints, bold and giving,
Which shape me, make me me - who I am:
They're not Jesus’s, the king of living.

Your personal history partly determines your life,
Helps you, or makes you want to overcome,
Makes...

Lament of My Life
I think I achieved a lot of what I desired, 
But failed at my best physical aspiration, 
Only dressing myself for ten days admired, 
Because I couldn’t overcome agitation. 

My parents came over all the way in the car, 
Scoffed and scoffed at me, got...

Premium Member Haiku Detour
Children of all ages
Assemble for dazzle;
Forget anxious concerns


Circus in town
Clowns and mimes;
Kaleidoscope dazzles


Monkey on a bike
Acrobatic antics;
Ringside music buzz


Magical tricks
Pretty babe disappears;
Misdirection pops


Curious eyes wonder
Awesome entertainment;
Anxiety put on hold


Desire ploughs
Work day posits;
Return on investment


Firm strategy
Business start-up;
Sales lagging 


High wire stroll
Balancing act;
Crowd in awe


Fund your fun
Be...

Premium Member The Clown
The clown

Circuit circuits
moving round in circles
swings and roundabouts
junctions dead ends
living closures and 
beginnings

The fool wise man
woman child in all
posits mocks
understands the world
beauty horror
misgivings paths
ahead and gone
retrieved adventoured
learned felt inspected
long gone present 

Re-chisseles
comprehends in 
jest and wonderment

The jester
foolhardy
and foolproof
scribes in stone
and pencil
when fool’s gold
is just enough
where...

Premium Member Believe What You Seek
Believe What You Seek…

Believe what you seek,
not what others would have you speak.
Ignore the signs stopping you.

That whirling dervish of conviction one conveys
need not, nor should not,
suggest what your audience wishes you to believe.

The question is…

Do you convey,
speak.
or seek?

Would that more artists
were inclined to present...

Denouement

The plot thickens broadens in plastered confused juxtapositions
over time there and then weaves tapestries lost unfound caught

Viscous tears dried out shed rivers searching oases oceans of love
squeeze suffering hatred solid misconceptions scripted resolve 

Crocheted dreams unsnarled in disguise colour rainbows stain-bows
stain blows and arrows offer...

Existential Conundrum
detangling figurative philosophical,
     (i.e. ineffable) thread tightly bound
most likely requires a greater capacity
     (than mine) to expound,
considerably superior than
this feeble intellectual attempt,
     nonetheless I rifle thru my mental
vocabulary rolodex for

If I Lost Track
I am evanescent,
I have doubts.
I am jaded under gray clouds.
Want to pass you through, yet uncertainty holds me in blue.

I know for once you are a help!
But why my psyche is uncertain?
Is there a triumph or loss of hope?
Still, part of me yells “take it...

Why Reading Kindles Brio
Aye admit, an author's adept
and adroit mastery
to link words together subtly crept
(expressing contents
in a matter of fact

understandable fashion, except
for dissertations and/or kept
jargon for exclusive specialty)

revelation, viz "EUREKA" suddenly leapt

administers cerebral, harmful
offal psychological usury
verdict I accept
fomenting gobbledygook concept

Let the Kids Play
Kids in the park at play

They do not judge in anyway

They don't distinguish

By race, colour or faith

All they want is just to play

And have some fun

So when does this change

Who teaches them to go separate ways

And decide to judge others as different from them

Who is...

Abhorrent Vehement Strife Hijacking *****Sapiens
Antiestablishmentarian inherent malevolent violence
wracks human species, a most brutish and nasty beast
case in point Vladimir Putin the population 
constituting country of Ukraine he fleeced.

An embittered nihilistic teenager
grown haggard and old,
hence not surprisingly yours truly
crafts pseudo dystopian reasonable rhyme,
to dissociate himself with human species
blithely wreaking havoc...
