Best Posture Poems
Abbott Cat
—————————————(Dedicated to our unique cat Gnash)***.
*…..*****….*****…..
Know that Abbott Cat
Had the stride
Of the pure…placing:
Each step forward
With the slightest lift
of the upper ankle
So to set down his
Paws — first the toes,
Then the heels
As ballet dancers do,
In a gait of grace and
Blessed dignity…
Like the passing by
Of an acolyte — we
May nod our heads
In respect and
recognition
of the passing
Cross.
Abbott held, so
It felt, some
Secret knowledge,
Some gems requiring
A very regal posture.
To carry the inner
Cache of
Secrets of heaven;
Some wisdom
His mews
Could not share?
Still, his noble
Carriage and his
mystery held psalms
Giving lyrics to his
Every motion, with
A prefacing instant
Of a weightless rise.
And, Abbott
Welcomed
An open lap
To curl round upon:
His black, furry back’s
Cape and vestment-
muffler tail,
To be stroked
By a gentle hand,
Without precepts…
Over and again,
Like the redeemer’s
Promises, a gracing
Causing Abbott Cat’s
Spirit a wistful smile,
Plus a coded, grateful
Mew…

Fine Head, Great Posture!
By
Tom Wright
There once was a scientist from down under,
Who was predisposed to error and blunder?
In an attempt to clone,
He begat only bone,
And he became known as the Sidney wonder.

Taxicab driver
Midnight rates apply;
Moonlight serenade
Tipsy bar crashers
Stepping out;
Cigarette break
Alcohol buffet
Free flow of beer;
Sorrows guzzled
Chit-chat combat
Happy hour banter;
Bartering progress
Too much stress
Nobody seems to know;
Things will be better
Complaints collide
Bar time gripes;
Bad bossy boss
Pain in the neck
Grumpy buffalo;
Home on the range
End of day
Work retreats;
Until tomorrow cheers
Profound exchange
Gin and tonic;
Alcoholic beverage
More and more
Of less and less;
Vodka and coke
Watering hole
Midnight Saturday;
Party till the last drop
Drop dead gorgeous
After six smoothies;
Tipsy compliance

“I need a perfect poise,”
he told her.
“I want to get a feel of goddess Aphrodite
in a photograph”.
Time was not on their side.
She had to use all she had around
her at that moment, to look
like Aphrodite.
She picked a chair, and stepped
on it like a tiger,
eyes looking ready to pounce
on any man she desired….

Water,
Appears so soft.
Attacks every crevice.
A dangerous inner essence.

Feel fancy fling
Sensuous swirls spring
Live lovely laughs
Smell scented stuff
Pick poignant poise
Choose charming choice
Ply pretty pace
Seek special space
Feel fragrant fest
Query ***** quest
Live lovely light
Seek sunny sight

Great effects came about at the fall
There man fell a very great depth
far more than we like to really admit
no matter the times you rise, man hits a wall
The real need of the hour
humility, really just being humble
realise you're not what you think
learn well not to moan and grumble
The world's bigger than you think
far larger than your imagination at all
even God is bigger than in your view
which is tiny compared to God so true
Remind yourself again you're not God
God is God and only He's the Lord alone
all peoples are made in His image even you
sinners saved by grace describes all to atone
Be humble and learn to be wise
these two ingredients go hand in hand
God blesses them when the two meet
showing it's all sovereignly planned
Holding a posture of humility
so godly showing HIs true mark
filled by His holy spirit in His fullness
shining forth His light putting out the dark
("When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom." - Proverbs 11: 2 (ESV)
(' Be humble, the world is bigger than your view of the world and certainly, God is much bigger than your view of God' - Eugene Cho )

THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOUND BUSINESS

Political Verse
Fishing through any needy soul
For God's only purpose
We search for the goal
On Hideous bible planes we reach
And love and learn and
Cry and teach
We are far gone
In whiskey and gin
strangers long for
Sweet brandy and sin
But strong we love and
That love we hate,
Pulls us nearer to our
Ultimate fate.
Planet revolves
And our plainest desires
In pitiful wishes
And missing requires,
Dedication and plunder
At once and in sync
For the loss of a soul,
For the want of a drink
In mystical whisps
Our features do curdle
Like grapes on a vine
For some winter infertile.
Pictures of boys
In centuries dated
Clapping beats of high praise
To the tune ne'er created .
The spinning of years,
On calendars pasted
On years and of joys
On days smudged and wasted,
In seventeen years
We turn sixty nine
Clicking our throbbing
Heartbeats, molesting our crimes.
In our necks we slouch South
to find our straight spine
That we mortgaged for
Cocaine, marijuana and wine.
Be you Irish or English
Italian or Jew
Or Spanish, or Polish
Or mongrel or Shrew:
Neither time nor your will
Nor pleading or sob,
Can save you from payment
Of not completing your job.

Seek to know well,
Empty your mind;
Now let thought dwell,
Sense a sure find;
Open your heart,
Reach for a feel;
Yield for a start.
Play with a thrill;
Obey your soul,
See deep within;
Trust makes you bold,
Urge lives unseen;
Rise to the times,
Echoes fit rhymes.

Sitting here posing boredom
Fixcated on your movements
Would you forgive my place
Is this written in your pace
Take a still picture, Strike a pose
Dance your dares, Then paint a rose
Switched-Foot, All odds against
Are we Revolting Zombies
Look at yourself, Young & Old
Look the future, See the disagreeing generation
Shaking their heads boldly
Are we Revolting Zombies

SILHOUETTE (20/23) — POSTURE
Abstract art
Seize odd moment;
Style finesse
~~~~~
Here I greet
Each face I meet
On busy streets
Where touch tells each
A better reach
Here I chance
Upon new trance
Of poignant dance
As touch times meet
Beyond words sweet

Does Inspiration write us.
Then in script might
do we act
upon the stages of
existance
to award those
who best
entertain
as us are we first
in efford
are we last
encoupled
yet we fear
that what is
existing
may strain and crumble
together than only to
seprate.
The moon shall
chase the sun
only to meet
in it's distance
that this event
makes
the night's
entertining
the skies of night
only to be bothered
by the renewing
of day.
Fear not might
moring renew your strenght
then to love again
speak then as one
speak then as lovers
might morning bring
such togetherness
quatrain or abab
might we
speak our love together
nomencladchore to
one man clad chore
then might we marry
stand before a world as one
in the peaceful togetherness
of coupling

Ballad
The mind awakes
To be aware
Of heavy cares
That fumble tare
The heart knows best
The flight of fest
In happy jest
Where wit knows zest
The soul now shows
The way of flow
Where passion grows
What purpose knows
The body feels
Joy that can heal
The vital will
With charming thrill
The man can see
Sure poise that frees
What yet may be
Play in wise spree
Prize fantasy
In chemistry
As sanctity
Frames legacy
Posture in kind
Knows peace of mind
Where love now finds
Wise soul not blind
