Best Twittered Poems
Another Day Safe From the Harvester's JawsOut of the burrows and hedges and dreys
Heads began bobbing and eyes were agaze.
Rumours were twittered and grunted and squealed:
‘The combine is coming to harvest the field!’
The moles and the voles and the rabbits and hares
All hurried and scurried and scattered in pairs.
The hedgehogs and...

A Fine New Day"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it..." E.E. Cummings
Hello my dearest darling, it was our time to wake,
The rustic rooster had already roused my reverie,
Heralding the dewy dawn
Of our new great day.
For I...

Seek Shelter
In a dream, I was exploring a green forest, lush and tangled with vines.
Following a path I was on a quest of some sort. As I journeyed onwards
I stopped often to investigate a wildflower or a plant or to listen to birds
singing and chattering....

In the Company of My MuseOn a walk companioned by my Muse along the sylvan meadows
We wandered away to delightful realms in unclouded ambience
Don’t know how long I rambled warming my fancies in sunset fires
Must be for long, all lights were out, the quiet hamlet lay bathed in sleep
Above ...

This Is Feminist UsIt's peaceful here in my backyard.
The crows sound happy
with warm October sunlight.
I just read about a deadly gathering in Las Vegas.
Absence of sun-drenched peace.
Inconvenient this time of lost loss.
Death is always inconvenient,
even when invited.
A veteran,
about my age,
this shooter.
It took more than one
to hold and fire...

The Ballad of the JacarandaWalked six years, that way,
And watched this new suburb’s trend.
Near Mysore Highway,
Close to Bengaluru’s end.
Three storeys tall, stood,
This awesome tree-spread, so pretty.
Blue blossoms, good wood,
Half acre’s canopy.
‘Neath with sun-warmings,
Faded blue a carpet rose.
Of fallen, dried awnings,
Nature’s cycle, as it goes.
Hanging Traffic Lights,
Often, brushed by its...

My White House InterviewI was nervous about my newest client.
Not every Permaculture Designer gets a contract
with the WhiteHouse.
But, when the President called,
or twittered,
for an intake interview,
I guess it felt like an obligation
to at least show up,
although perhaps about fifteen minutes late,
just to confirm any stereotypes he may have
about...

Patriotic Rhythm and BluesIf you believe professional athletes
should punch their Free Speech Rights out
when they punch in their employment clock,
Why is it fair
to also believe
you have not twittered out your violent
and racist
and sexist
Free NonViolent Speech Rights
when you laid hands on
and pledged your crossed-finger heart
to Presidential FakePatriotic AntiAllegiance
to One...

Naked Redmeat EmperorsRE: Continuing RedMeat Only,
much less any Green Leafy Salads
Abraham Lincoln thought it politically unhealthy,
and probably economically unwise,
to disinvest his Cabinet,
much less his entire Constitutionally incorporated population,
from ecopolitical diversity.
What is politically healthy,
probably not an all RedMeat Republican UberConservative Cabinet,
yet this may be what your own WhiteDaddy...

Yangwin-YinwinShe started our discussion of EgoWin-EcoLogicalWin
Eastern NonDual CoArising Political Theory,
by reminding us that Deductive LeftBrain
has not always been WinLose competitive dominant;
there was a prior emerging moment in prehistory,
more of a herstory,
when WinWin cooperative EgoYang and EcoYin
were both LeftDeductive and RightInductive co-dominant,

Can One Die From a Broken HeartA girl met boy,
it was early spring,
she fell in love
and blossoms flourished.
She did all the right things,
to please just him.
If birds twittered
she flew into his arms,
made him love her in return.
Times were when she thought
they weren’t meant to be,
she wallowed in his embrace.
Trees grew,...

O Could I FlyI flew my eyes
up to the bluish sky
and
saw two birds
twittered passionately
and i knew
they were fallen in love
through
their unique language
extremely beautiful
i knew
they were breathing out
the music of love
in the midst
of their romance
O..
Could i fly
I’d fly with them
Wild and free
With my phenomenal glitter
and
let the...
