The Beauty of Charkha the Spinning Wheel

The Poem is dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi and his Charkha.


When first time I looked 
At the Wooden Charkha*
With a child’s curiosity to know, 
What it was? 
I had seen it 
Without caring and knowing much,  
What actually the...

Hear ye, hear ye: Listen to my timeless presentation
If you'd like to conquer anger, irritation, or vexation.

My name is Emerson, Ralph Waldo if you please,

Which elevates and fortifies an individual's will and spirit,
To withstand provocations intended expressly to smear...

Starvation rules this spinning globe.
Energy is seized.
While goats and cattle strip the grass of peaceful light,
Vultures shred the organs of disadvantaged game.
As packs of wolves surround the heard,
Eyeing the weak and lame.

Buzzards circle overhead seeking every chance,
To pluck out the eyes of the men who...

with love and seflessness,
I will make hot the world.

“Located in the historical part of town”

The heat and air don’t work very well:
“About the local climate you will tell”

Grounds are shabby...

I have a vision of her.
She is twirling and laughing
In a white sundress
in the middle of a clearing in the woods.
Canopy overhead; sun sprinkling down through.
She twirls and dances to her heart's content
to an audience of trees and leaves.
Her music is silence
with an occasional bird...

Spinning Webs And Sad Gray

Spinning webs hold my life in place
gems waiting from flames yet to be lit
Why would set sail to another shore?
When this one, rocks as it slowly moans
Morn's new frost never touches my toes
nor dawn's beaming rays fail to inspire

Car wreck yesterday...

As I teeter, I push myself sometimes 
Stand on a different ledge
Check my balance
Today white knuckle rides
I'd stopped going on them
So I went on them
You can check your own influence on a potential unpleasant situation 
It's interesting (apparently not poetic, I'll keep at it)
My jaw...
