Best Solid State Poems

I am water, precious water, the most important source 
of life on earth. Master of all shape shifters, I am ever
moving and changing my appearance. When temperatures
dip low enough, I show my freezing solid state of ice
in crystallization and softly enchant you with my beauty

THE MOON AND GRAVITY

The moon is believed to affect moods of mankind
Science says this not a truth can they find

Gravity is a force, call it what they will 
Its strength is the way it can push and pull

The moon's gravity affects the earth
Causing the oceans...

Something about fire makes my soul sing 
Not from the flames of burning homes and buildings
But from smaller ones we joyfully ignite and bring 
A sense of warmth and wonder to our being.  
Nothing beats sitting around the crackling sounds
Of a camp fire in...

Water moves continually Over land, evaporation and transpiration 
common chemical substance 
essential to all forms of life 
 the substance  has a solid state, ice,
 and a gaseous state, water vapor.
About 1,460 teratonnes (Tt) of water covers 71% of the Earth's surface,

Patterns on the wall
Blue spores
In beamed particles
Low-paced stones
Vibrate below the common tone
Stomping off
The solid state of your floor

Extended fingertips
Flattened
A sixth dimension added

Silhouettes
Sprouting from the stairs
Purple-spotted voice
Cracking academic talk
Introducing the negative zone

Cognition waterfalls
Side-stream
The window lost its door
Free space for a walk
Universal nature, standard road
Slide line by...

Odd roadside stall
Newsy newsprint;
Brisk disaster sells

~~~~~~~~~


Hardware insights
Self-Help projects;
Crafty poise

~~~~~~~~~


Evening dark
Deserted park;
Empty ark

~~~~~~~~~


Primal pose
Playground excursions;
Kiddy laughter

~~~~~~~~~


Traffic accident
Human error hurls;
Proud regrets shout

~~~~~~~~~


Brisk brush strokes
Calligraphy moves;
Artwork erupts

~~~~~~~~~


Old miniature book
Tells another story;
Beyond print run

~~~~~~~~~


Another tale
Tells on you;
Business acumen

~~~~~~~~~


Line by line
Echoes rhyme;
Poetic impulse

~~~~~~~~~


Joy seeps
Charm knows;
Sublime moments

~~~~~~~~~


Grass verge array
Unnoticed flowers;
Grace attends

Alacrity bespeaks entangled, entombed,
     and entrapped Thai soccer team
diminishing strength barely allows,
     but a whispered scream,

which rescue against all odds
     (plucked out cavernous catacomb),
     fast becoming a fading dream
vicariously...

plus Doctor Kaunda also says family names
in tandem should not determine,
who to associate with, any more than nap
pulled lying flat hair, but rather character of hearts,
viz each one of every Zambian availing their lap
necessarily if seat space in short supply.

A Jerky Reverie

Where is the moon just now?
The light shining from the sun
appears, to have blotted it out.
The stark darkness of a motionless 
void, where atomic debris not seen,
passes
 through it, violating solid state.
Harmonious discontent, disconcertedly 
in serial fashion proceeds atonally
in a jerky reverie; weeping...

a tsunami catapulted cruising skiff
skyward landing with quiet thud
across undulating infinite granular waves
formerly solid state rocks and minerals

optimism vibrant upon initial unforeseen
crash asper for test dummies
foundered as undertow fostered diminishing hope
initial faith for survival quickly ebbed

nsync with retreating tidal wave
pessimism dreamt fantastical holograms
farther from beached...
