Genesis 1:27 
God creates male and female


A Slight Improvement

All it took was one rib,
Adam wouldn’t miss it.
Look what he gained.

At first sight, he uttered
an ancient word the equivalent 
of the modern, “Wow!”

From the best use of a rib
of all time, came a creature
capable of charm,...

Premium Member My Midnight Valentine - Slight Revision
She comes to me on four small feet
which softly on my blankets tread.
So beautiful is she, so sweet;
she comes to me on four small feet, 
then reaches out her paw to greet
me as I waken in my bed!
She comes to me on four small feet
which...

A Slight Return
Darkness is my life that apears in
light.
Has it come to just another fix.
The smile does conceal my losing fight.

The music the screams within.
The lies eat away at the man I can no 
longer stand.

Hollow is thy heart.
Crimson stains all that is never held in
hand.

It started...

A Slight Perchance Merry
Ouivre, ouivre,
my Ovus Star,
a bit premature 
immortal,
for there we are.

Again, and again,
we do sojourn.

I am yes... so 
terribly in love,
but a bit ironic.
Our path as one
harmoniously, plutonic.

There are many, many
foundations Elemental.
To you my Heiroglyphic Monad,
a bit John Dee, an Angel at the 
Window.

If thee suffer,...

A Slight Eye Opener
No one ever knows for sure who they are and what they're supposed to be.
It is only by miraculous chance or coincidence a person finds their true calling.
As for the rest they struggle, through every aspect of life,
the average person fails over and over, fight...

Premium Member A Slight Revision To Aesop's Tale
An arrogant hare challenged a lethargic turtle to a race.
The hare ridiculed the turtle due to its lumbering pace.

"The loser", declared the hare " will be destined for the pot!"
The "hare"-brained turtle agreed knowing he didn't have a shot!

The turtle desperately tried to figure a...

And Let Us Now Silence That Intrusive Music So Ominous, So Banal, So Tinny and So Slight
As rains and the torrentialest of snows plummet, 
Filling all the skies and the area interstitial to earth and sky 
With a frenzy of flying flakes;
As gusty winds doth blow and toss the flakes this way and that;
As torrents true amid the most rending species...

Raindrops softly slide
Down across my window pane
Earth is cleansed again...

Slight Little Twist

Some can say what they want with very few words.
And then there are those who do chirp like the birds.

Some have no problem leaving the hearer in doubt.
Then there is ME, who feels the need to talk it all out!

I have been told...

Unifying Theories of Light ( Slight Re-Write)
Unifying Theories of Light

A waveform particle
Photon phantoms of packets
Indivisible 
Oceanic cosmos dusts the material
Separates its contact
By the touch
Of the physical

Human sight by synaptic
Records sunrisen hue 
Of tints painted brush strokes
Each brilliant parcel
In spectrum arches
Carries its message
Of choreographed stars

The gossamer veils of mirrors
Shine conduit
Sprinkle fireflies of...

Voyager-A Slight Revision
what news o' wandering voyager-
do ye bring this earthly home
what knowledge new uncovered
amid the glinting stars alone

what ancient lore yet unexplored
in fields of soaring stone
what secrets fair lie in thy care
that to man remains unknown

and what of Jove and all his kin
so distant and forlorn
are...

Slight


Catching head with both hands
A pedestrian was on footpath
Near, in a mound of sand, 
Slept dog’s slight was

Care free it was no tension alive
A running car dispersed mud 
In its head and tail drops so far
Pedestrian cast an eye and passed

A crow sat and cawed...

Premium Member An Unnamed Journey Slight Change
I sense it is impossible to rhyme 
in this journey and that even
with a poem searching for words
something is lost
Is it found in the breath
slowly with the slightest force
should we name it the Force 
or is it a lightness that joins
with the smallest molecules
atoms is...

Slight Touch
Sometimes it takes meeting someone 
that touches your soul
to inspire you to do what you love. 
I am fortunate enough to have met 
the person that holds all the most beautiful lines
I have ever wanted to write
embedded in his fingertips....
