DEFORESTATION

Topical Tree Poetry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deforestation rife!
From copse to woodlands
And trees on their own suffer the knife!
Deforestation rife!
Rainforest to jungles,
Arboretums to parklands suffering strife
Deforestation rife!
There is suffering unseen.
To all macro, micro, wildlife.
Deforestation rife!
The whole world pays,
yes you, if you're married your wife.
Deforestation rife!
Nothing is safe, trees breathe for...

Taming a tropical topical tree? Taking a trunk? Telling a tailor? Traversing a tale? Many ideas. Much like the ideological dramas of a beach front. Wavelength of winds. Movements if the tides. Coconuts can jump very high if wearing leotards but leotards are prohibited at...

There is something to be said for the upper middle boy who fails.
You know the one 
Going through his twenties 
Supported by his parents 
but can’t commit to a job if it killed him. 
If his father had more connections he would get him one
but...

Poetry for your consumption.
A daily dose of vitiman gumption.
The store is open, so come on in.
Say, heres a napkin, you've got some on your chin.

She's located just outside your mind.
She seems to always see what you can't find.
I know, I've searched so many times.
But have...

Topical Tree Poetry

//\\
the African plains
once lush... verdant... living
dust devils now reign

in the jungle
the sightly found a living
all the jungles... gone...

dust devils thriving
anhydrous ere the dew drops
beetles salvation

nature provides
many niches...  dew drops... life
the early birds drink

THE JOY OF LIFE
SNOWBALLING


~~~~~~~~~~

the joy of life
snowballing
I've tried and tried to entice
belief in that all snowballs end up thawing
the joy of life
is quickly going to disappear
I've tried and tried to entice
belief in our need for fresh air
the joy of life
is hanging by a thread
I've tried...

Two beating hearts
 together on top
atop of each other doesn't impart 
love and yet two faces that stare 
Through their eyes, they see each other's souls 
Hearts beating fast allows their auras to glow

Integrity of door was challenged,
walls will not take the blame.
Tension increased between believing
and non-believing.

Did we listen to moaning of night ?
There was a murder in broad day-light.
Eyes will not betray the whisking of corpse,
pallbearers were moving very fast.

I thought nothing will ever move now
not even...

TOPICAL WATERS OF MY HEART

casting beauty on
top the waters of my heart
must not wet my mind

for the emotions 
they are real and yet dried up
mustn't get caught up

caught in heartaches drought
they are real and yet dried up
waters of my heart

Will we use something tropical? The novice nurse asked her.
Carmae secretly rolled her eyes knowing Scarlet meant topical.
However, she did not correct her, because this was her first day.
She would gently incorporate the correct word later in her learning.
She knew Scarlet would pick up on...

I washed my hands this morning when I visited the loo,
Then went and touched the tap, which you really shouldn’t do,
And then I scratched my nose, because I had an itch, 
Then with my bare hands I went and pulled the switch!

And then I went...

Ginsberg Writes the F- WORD

 FALLEN GINSBERG COINS “” INTO POETRY,
Our college creative-writing professor
Announced in 1972,  to our class of hippie poets, 
Like me, who didn’t quite see
The big deal, because we were establishing 
That outrage into every sentence of all
Conversations spoken across the...

A senryu for A Shero, heroes, and for POETRY's sake ---

I
sudden gusts of Fall -
green heroes fall in twos, threes
yes, trees, and you, me

II
Notice the saplings sway
With the winds ways, unbroken
Resist and old limbs fall...
