Best Reconfigured Poems


If Languages Were Instruments
If languages were instruments,
English, the language of my own America,
Would be something like a piano.
Each word is clear and sharp-
When we sing, the note does not waver.
But I suppose it's more fair to say that
English is something like an electronic keyboard
With two hundred different modes...

Apparition
We were a poor Yacht Club, lacking prestige, but with knowledgeable sailors who believed in one another and more importantly, our club.  We also had the best boat.  A 65'  two masted Schooner named S/V "Apparition" and with her we would attempt...

Premium Member Haiku Blooms 2
Blue flowers plucked
Nyona bak chang** moments;
Satisfying rice cakes


By this old fence
Echoes of giggles;
Laughter mocks schoolyard


Road diversion
Roundabout detour;
Long cul de sac


Wedding festivities
Details and stuff;
Final agenda looms


Joy wears a face
Celebration evokes;
Certain gratification


Flame of the Forest tree
Nice shady bough;
Rain drops seeping


This old site
Venue of past demeanours;
Regret and guilt...

Butterflies of Beauty
Hatched from an egg, larva begins gathering around massive trees;
consuming enough leaves sufficient for morphing within chrysalis. 
Once this process is a success, reconfigured caterpillars nibble and wiggle their way out. 
Something extraordinary happens—
Atomic metamorphosis liberates an epiphany.
Majestic, colorful creatures emerge—
Beautiful butterflies make birth, liberated...

How It Went Down
A decade of growth and decadent boom 
People didn't mention the debt elephant in the room
It was the charge of the bull
Many pockets were full
The search for a higher return was the motivational pull. 

But whilst stocks and shares rocked and flared
Investors held their breath in shock...

Putin Non Gmo Gluten Free Cheese On the Ritz
Though a wimpy, tiny, and puny

fingerhut size adobe abode ex

grammatical elements of style,

I counted Flip (Wilsonian) view,
to camouflage myself anytime

If I Died Today March 2nd, 2020
If I died today March 2nd, 2020...?

No matter unfulfilled dreams never came true,
nevertheless yours truly doth gladly bid adieu,
where repurposed afterlife (mine) atomic brew
reconfigured, reconstituted, and reconsolidated
out maws of madness, no matter any blues clue
(yea undoubtedly, hypothetically, and admittedly

handy dandy) eventuality matter factly welcomed
neither feeling...

Like Sphinx Rise From Ashes
On the cusp of stepping into your promised land
Listen to the little voice 
Enjoining you to cling, to hold on for dear life to the hand
Of God where your boundless choice

Lies in wait to reset your bearing and course
To restore, renew the vitality
God bestows on...

Come Round Six We Eat At Four
THEY RECONFIGURED THE FORMULA
BY MAKING IT MORE FOR A TARGETED AUDEINCE.
TARTNESS AND SWEETNESS GO HAND AND HAND.
SOME PEOLE LIKE THEIR SWEETS THAT WAY.

1/2 CUP OF STRAWBERRY LIQUER

The New Church
Wanting to further glorify heaven
by reaching up to its lofty, great height,
the Romanesque arch was changed with leaven
in mind to further complete a great sight.

Taking away the strength of the curved arch
she could quickly cave under the pressure;
her nave losing form from having gone parch,
stones...

Evolution

an  existence
endlessly reconfigured
  separated

 unfinished
a conflict

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma...

Iridescent Laptop Kingdoms
Miracle of consciousness re-wired
Beyond the physical plane
De-materialized, reconfigured webbing
Teases my canopy's netting

With no feet, message travels
The Mind of Time
Attracting this resplendent huddle

To make a living
Livelihood's muddled
As yet,
But wait!
Mercury puddles

Promising
energy transacted
A fate never to late
Be among Gospel materialized...

Puzzle
Broken
temporary fix with random faces
back track to gather all my pieces
why do won't they fit?
this puzzle cannot be completed
I was not broken but deconstructed
instructions: insert heart here
there! not broken but reconfigured...
