Best Strains Poems

Amidst the stress and strains of life rejoice
Don't fold now, you still can play the hand
Forget old rules, make a new paradigm for choice
The brail and vang is in your will's command

In your heart, just know your cause with God is right
The stakes for all...

Breaking DNA Strains

In Biology lessons, one reads of mutations…
That inexplicable quirk of natural selection…
For once in a while some individual thrives…
While at other times, another withers and dies…

The latest movies exhort the supreme human being…
Through the process of mutated genes, he comes into being…
The Marvel...

The last strains of decrescendo were still in my ears
Dancing at the masque party time flew leisurely on downy feathers
The night was still youthful, the breath enjoying every fragrant inhale
The last strains of the decrescendo were still in my ears

I was jostled to my senses...

HAIKU STRAINS 4


Modern shoppes
Bayfront attractions;
Window shopping spree

~~~~~~~~~


Midnight nocturne
Window view moments;
Bedtime distraction

~~~~~~~~~


Music seeps
Through front door;
Passing minstrel vagabond

~~~~~~~~~


Easy escapade
Scented lemongrass;
Spa massage

~~~~~~~~~


Fond company
Old lovers sit quietly;
Calm charms crisp

~~~~~~~~~

HAIKU STRAINS 3


Nephews and niece
Day trip outing;
Keep fond company

~~~~~~~~~


Sunlight in rain
Confronts conflict;
YinYang movement

Old fruit tree
Tropical delight;
Mango outburst

Godmother charms
Sanguine compassion;
Stern love stays

Touch of beauty
Poesy sings;
Economic sway

HAIKU STRAINS 2


Morning news flash
Volcano erupts;
No fly zone

~~~~~~~~~


Planes grounded
Volcanic ash smog;
Delayed departures

~~~~~~~~~


Good old Bali high
Airport closure;
Dreadful sighs

~~~~~~~~~


Overseas trip
To keep in touch;
Musical chairs

~~~~~~~~~


Joy speaks
Humble heart heeds;
Cheery excursion

~~~~~~~~~

HAIKU STRAINS 1


Busy feet meet
On Monday streets;
No time to greet

~~~~~~~~~


Crowded avenues
Distant faces;
Private To-Do lists

~~~~~~~~~


Wet dawn
Overnight rain;
Messy footpaths

~~~~~~~~~


Blank faces
Anxious distractions;
Too much data

~~~~~~~~~


TV dramedy
Laughter riots;
Good medicine here

~~~~~~~~~

The God of Pandemics is silly
Displaying less sense than a lily
The rest of us know
The virus can't grow
Where no one has a 6' willie!...

You are so complex, so twisted beautiful,
I suppose.
You are everything I am not also something
I should not have.

I can hear your voice murmuring in the
monsoons.
I see you sway the coconut trees,
whipping the night sky.

I lift my fuchsia sari and dance in the moist
fresh earth.
Play no...

The bond between our eyes and heart 
     sometimes is not so strong;
the heart may fool our vision's part-
     conducting its own song.

The bond between our mind and soul,
     half-hearted, blend each view;
the...

Sorplaisitese was his name
he was moderatly poor
and happy. He had aweful luck
with woman. So he thought.
One day he meet one of his
former female freinds
and became wise
to plots against him.
He learned his family members
would corner his female freinds
and ask had he consamated there
relationship citing a faith...

Pure joy sighs
In sure highs


Seek to know
How love grows


In good time
Cheer sculpts rhymes


By and by
Calm clear sighs


Warm the cold
Dare be bold


Walk your talk
Let truth stalk


Be one whole
Heart and soul


Live fine strains
Prompt yet plain


Do good now
Love knows how

Merriment has bustled ever so brightly.
You are one who was taken so timely.
Lost inside the strains of skies.

Over above is where you are.
Vast and lonesome, so very far.
Eternally so, until we are one.

For lives lived in perennial pain in strain rain
Death delivers droves of reinvented relief
Cutting corners from trains of painted pain
Accumulated at the hands of a throng thief.

Death delivers droves of reinvented relief
In the midst of indifference insisted upon in each instance
Accumulated at the hands of...
