Best Seated Poems

Good
at hiding 
it
won't know to look at
handicap
disability
embarrassment, worse than bad breath

must have smacked my head against something
when I was playing good cop, bad cop
and I was the suspect
guilty of something 
no doubt

Taken 
downtown
for interrogation
on why 
we didn't finish everything on the plate

Taken 
downtown
to the experts

Deep seated and connected
Deep seated and connected, my collection plate feels naked, been adjacent to ills and thrills of my spills, causing heartache. My thoughts go round and round like the earth rotates, I have expectations that haven’t come to pass, I had let go...

(Poetry) let it thicken as it stands.

Let it be beautiful, unharnessed verbal rage or 
song or deed, or graven image set in stone, where 
walls fell around some demagouge in 
some ill-remembered time.

In our arrogance we place this 
joyous thing in

PORTRAIT  
YOUNG GIRL, SEATED, WITH VIOLIN

Scanning…

Her dress commands the scene,
Stifling the beige background drapes,
Flowing, engulfing a plush, roseate sofa

Can this have been a concert,
Either before or later?
Well? …What?
Does she actually play the violin she holds on her knee?
Or is it afterthought?

Such a pretty young...

Seated across from me at a bar were two large women with accents.
"Cool accents," I said, "Are you ladies from Scotland?"
"It's Wales." one snapped back, "you stupid moron."
"My apologies," I said, "Are you two whales from Scotland?"...

Deep  seated  Blues

This ugly colour, long lived – sung, can be cathartic.
Setting free destructive moods – escaping the harsh Artic
waste lands, as one births her voice – begins to sing
of all – their essence, their understanding - aloud, will bring
to this, sad, –...

Sitting on the love seat,
Today I feel a moth
Bodily peeled from its chrysalis
To meet the world’s dim eyes
And worrisome gales.
God left precisely X years ago.
I had no use for one afterwards,
Until I met your breath along
The sinful clamor inside my veins.
And I am caught between...

How high their ship…she’s sitting on the waves.
Bob-stopped at top of ferris wheel. Their might,
a flood about their feet - they dare not breathe.
The teeter-tottering might sink them quick.

Her formerly unbalanced stance, so drunk.
The utter-wave that drives her down and up.
The shipmates think of home...

Negatives -
no distance or angle,
reveals substance of the female,
when projection of self pauses.

Still image, no movement -
luminance lost,
no colour or life
until viewed.

Pensive,
closed and defensive,
tense and drawn in,
settled -
unsettled again.

"Seated Woman, Umbrella"
defined and labeled,
seeking table,
conversation enabled.

As I flit in and out of view, 
a Schrödinger study...

Seated in yoga position
As cool instruments play
Driving negative vibration
While solemnly I pray
 
Yoga relaxes mind
Setting my cares behind
My best way to unwind

Closed eyes meastra
Seated in yoga

Just look at the peak
Tall and sleek
Looking at the creek
With jealousy
A little enmity too
For the creek has its friends
Trees flowers showers
Towers of colored clouds
Prepared to appease it
With  fire dousing rains 

The  mountain peak
Lonely monotone
Head to toe alone
A single standing stone
None to share the  agony cones
Of...

Our birthright is to clearly see
What God reveals and speaks of thee
In spirit's realm, we must engage
Before things manifest on life's stage
To this majestic force we yield
Our worldly discourse now revealed
With Christ, we rise to heavenly places
And embrace a life of new graces
A resurrected lifestyle...

You're the cutest little cutie
When you're sitting in a chair
With your back legs in the air
Like you're sitting in a chair....
