Best Rare Earth Poems

Utah cringes as hacked Ocotillo turn carnivorous,
spitting psychoactive pollen into the atmosphere,
dusting entire subdivisions.

The victims wander,
searching eagerly for where sunlight is strongest.
A part of their backbrain
gets tickled by the sun
at an angle our old pituitary glands
have relearned to sense.

There have been reports that
the vision of...

I. BISMUTH  [83]
rainbow-sheened cubist castles -- silver-pink of hue 

II. IODINE  [53]
gunmetal grey crystals sublime -- and billow purple 

III GALLIUM  [31]
metallic grey and stiff -- melting in a cordial clasp

IV. HELIUM  [2]
spent star-fuel -- alpha-ray remains – blimp-floater

V. RHODIUM ...

Rare earth materials in cars and phones
help us hear and travel and stay in touch.
Much of human capital is in loans,
funding needs like a societal crutch.

Every device turns over in a year
to support immediate stock deadlines.
Endless mining is what we have to fear.
Endless growth is...

We are the days that we’ve become. 
moments dripping gifted from
the lounging clocks in rolling melted sightings, 
given by the gifted madness of a soulmate’s fightings. 

Our lives wrapped up in phrases coined
in books like, “best things ever said”.
we are the living words from inside-out...

Eldest daughter – I Praise

Twenty two years ago
     December twenty second,
two thousand eighteen
"star student" born
this papa (and most
     likely thee birth mother)
     initially felt ecstatic,
dramatic (yes frenetic),

and careworn
as freshly minted parents,

Under the crystalline spires 
Of your blue sky 
Wind is sharp 
Carries summers fire
Colors flare here and there 
In the frosty air 
New birth on a rare Earth
Gold, crimson, sapphire blaze 
In the coming new dawn 
Awake ancient voices 
Sing the songs of creation
And sing...

What is Ukraine's war really for?
How about funds from rare earth ore
Hear Lynsey Graham shout
"We'll keep Putin out!"
And stash trillions in our cash drawer

Ukraine has 0.4% of the Earth’s surface but about 5% of the world’s mineral resources. Ukraine is one of the world's top...

Up the polished ceiling above my bed
In my bedroom resting for a while,
A camouflaged lizard crawls his webbed feet
With dead silence in his spider tongue
Hunting a fly nearby in languorous mood
So unconscious of to-be catastrophe
Bony spine of mine chills enough
To freeze my whole body like...

Rare earth.
Raw nerves.
Who needs diplomacy

Dark angels dance across 
a hidden sky, as light races...
down fingers caressing,
this silhouetted rare raging earth. 
the thunder rolls around, runs across 
this fleeting ground,
caressing raw rare earth.
feel the ground rumbling deep 
the rain sweeps all sweet souls way 
and 
all the days remain(s)... 
as...

The embers of day glow on the horizon edge. 
I see the carriage coming afar. 
Another day has past away we morn its demise, 
Twilight has spread its deep indigo hued wings across the face of this fleeting earth, 
shadows grow in deep places 
welling...

              If a poem was a spell at wizard's dell. 
Would it say in a state of dual-singularity come to life 3D in bilingualarity "come walk with me"?

Wallowing a dance a snake...

Dedication:
To God and Innocence 


Today was a day born of imagery.
As if born from a child's dream.

The leaves were swirling, golden and crimson, 
auburn and cream.
So scent treant, alive, it deemed.
The sound breezed softly, 
churning whiskered branches.
Foliage and vibrations caught in their advances.
I may have...

Golden are your hours
Slipping into the sea
Suns rays reach
touching the tower
Golden are your eyes
Alight with infernal power
Bleeding amber fire
From delicate lips
Light stretches out from behind
Golden is your breath
Plums of mist delicate
laced intricate grace
Golden is your skin
Sliding under leather sin
You stand behind the facade
Of divinity raining...
