Difference

Picked a piece of ice 
Fell from the sky
Kept in the ice box
One…
To research

Picked a piece of ice
Fell from the sky
Kept in the ice box
Another…
To use

Dna In Your Jeans

Family history
Is mostly a mystery
To those researching their genes

Your DNA tree
Does not seem to be
Worth more than an hill of beans

Women toiled in the clover
With Neil Down and Ben Dover
And though it could be a bother

Despite every fear
DNA makes it clear
Someone had it in for your father!

Untitled #347 / Research

“Aye! There’s the rub!”
I wonder if they’ll let me
research that in college


A Living Bone

You had been once a living bone, full of potential and motive,
But someplace alongside the manner, you forgot your really worth and worthiness,
Lost in the shuffle of existence's needs and distractions,
You unnoticed your own boom and self-discovery.

However now it is time to consider,
To rekindle the spark that once ignited your soul,
To dust off the cobwebs of doubt and uncertainty,
And step into the light of your true capability.

Like a seed buried deep inside the earth,
You have the power to grow and flourish,
To stretch your roots and attain for the sky,
To embody your unique path and purpose.

So take a deep breath and permit yourself unfurl,
Like a flower opening to the morning sun,
Permit your internal light shine vivid and actual,
And watch as the sector awakens for your beauty.

For you're a dwelling bone, complete of electricity and resilience,
Capable of overcoming any obstacle or mission,
And as you retain on your journey of self-improvement,
You may find out the endless depths of your personal magic and marvel.

Teaching Myself

I
Salvation is the first freedom of humanity
"*****Sapiens," self-defined, "Wise Man" from
Africa, Olduvai Gorge, the Rift Valley, experts say
Research especially why we are special: conundrum -
Every BOOK (& Bible) said we are SPECIAL, mutes (The Academy)

II
Let us not give too much to religion, nor too less
It has been a way to bind people, to overcome the terrors
From far away and near, of Nature and nurture
Everyone is someone only because of THE OTHER ONE.

NOTE: I used the scientific term for our species, "*****SAPIENS" & the editing software, or editing human here, thought I was being prejudiced. We all have hidden prejudices, but that was not mine in this poem. just "*****sapien." (c) Anil S. DEO, shalom shalom (Peace & wholeness to all life) amen

Premium Member You Can See Me In Your Face

You can see me in your face
(past version)

In life you didn’t know me.
I had died so long ago.
But in another when you knew me,
In an existence all aglow.

I hope someday you’ll find me
On some page with faded ink -
Part of your family history -
That undiscovered missing link.

Can you remember me?
I was more than just a name.
I lived and loved, gave birth and died,
And passed on my husband’s name.
Can you remember me,
From another time and place?
Gaze closely in your looking glass;
You can see me in your face.
Can you remember me?
Don’t forget me.


Plagiarism and Research

A famous poet once said...
Write an idea from a poet
is plagiarism, but write borrowed
many ideas from several poets, 
is research

Premium Member A Dance of Choices: Research or Poetry

For two years, I've woven verses like threads of gold,  
Yet in the shadows, my unfinished research whispers,  
A ghost from the past, beckoning me to mend the frayed edges,  
Now and then, I stumble into a fog, yearning to complete the tapestry left undone.

The research demands ten hours, six days a week,  
A relentless tide that pulls me under,  
If fortune smiles, perhaps a pearl of wisdom will surface in months,  
Success is a fickle companion, but the quest is my steadfast companion,  
No riches or renown await me, just the quiet reward for a curious mind.

Poetry, on the other hand, flows like a river of emotions,  
Crafted with the brushstrokes of my soul,  
No coins clink in my pocket here,  
My father would chuckle, calling it a venture in folly.

Yet, whether I reap gold or not,  
If these creations ignite joy within my heart,  
They gift me a sense of triumph, a balm for my restless spirit.

I miss you my friend
But only until the death
When we can then rest

Dangerous Research

You sit in a world of stasis,
Following the minute traces,
Seeing intangible, unknowable signs,
In infinite cosmic designs,
Leads to a dangerous and devilish crisis,
Where you get stuck in hidden places.
You miss the highs and the lows,
The morning as the cock crows.
The world will pass you by,
As insignificant alive or if you die.
No-one misses someone they've never known,
So you reap the seed you've sown.

Research

I'm alive today
For research is alive
Then, what's yours now, pal?

I Researched How To Modernize

I wanted to be like Afrikaners
Admired their wars and wins
Then I saw their scars and manners:
"Folk are folk; some know SPIN!"

Ode To Robert C

You wrote an article I used for class.
I did my research and gasped.
Wife killed you with poison.

Attached to Childhood

The threads we weave in the early years
Define the ties that hold our fears
Attachment forms, a hidden thread
Guiding the paths where we are led

Some reach for love with open arms 
while others guard with quiet alarms 
The past, it molds the way we love
A blueprint written from above

My paper seeks to lift the veil
To understand how patterns sail
For through this lens, we can repair
The bonds we seek, the love we share

Research

Six titles,
Twelve number one
Contenders..
Best out four falls
If there is a draw 
A ten minute finale
Will deside the winner

Four barrels(oak)
Filled with sand
At the bottom a 
Title belt and contract
For a title match.
The tagtitles will be
Seperated in two barrels
The team that wins
Will  flip coins to
Deside the order
Of the barrel turning.
Auditing firms will
Represent the interest
Of each grappler. 
A sercurity detail asppointed
By the company and
The auditing firms.
Those firms interested
In representation can do so
By call Ziconia Prawn

It has it history from the rye farms
Of Scotlan
A tradition carried to the colonies s.
They'd put a womans name on parchment
And put it the rye at the bottim of
The barrel. The winner of the match
Would win a date.
It was held at the autumn festivals.

Meet the tagcchamps as number one contenders.
