Best Underpinning Poems
Kind of Reasonable ExplanationDo angels walk amongst us, to be honest I really don’t know
My answers may seem rhetorical, for what life tends to throw
Could well be our imagination, reaching out tendrils with clasps

Catching ButterfliesThe black and orange dust
comes off on my fingers
revealing the fragile mesh
so easily crushed
therefore brave
I was troubled
the color was so loose
so removable to my hand
but even more at the
transparency beneath
Oh, don't go catching butterflies
until you are prepared to see
the underpinning delicate and clear
where there is...

Top Dressingspring stitched the horizon
budding with French knots of red
and jade and gold
the underpinning of branches
began to disappear
as the surface danced
with pointillism
kelly-green cuffed the lawn
daffodils were pocketed
in among the satin threads
of pine bark mulch
temperatures fluctuated
and though a layer of white snow
would...

666 of Boxing DayAround 29AD, a saviour claimed eternity as a light of future hope,
Recorded or foretold, accepted or rejected, he left a message that stretched,
Across the pages of all mankind, throughout all time, resurrected but neglected,
Simple message of loving each other, each human brother of different mothers,
His...

Zeitgeistcompeting cousins, interbreeding homo-sapiens
hominins humming mostly human song
altruistic generalisers, ever close to dying ways
opportunistic, never staying long
self-aware, inquisitive, enlarging brains, empathising
real representative intelligence
modelling worlds beyond, longing for more joy than pain

The Waiting RoomThe Waiting Room
The April weather shifted high to low,
Exposing those early clout casters
To the concluding bite of winter;
Footsteps full of foreboding
Trudge their last legs up the inclined driveway
To the Doctor’s old house.
A hotchpotch of chairs and wooden benches
Cling to the borders of the waiting room
A...

ResignationWhen you’re sucker-punched with frustration
and can’t find a cause for elation,
when you’re unsuccessful
and life’s super stressful,
you surely will feel perturbation.
When you face severe provocation
and fear that there’s no mitigation
for hard knocks life’s sending;
you’re breaking, not bending.
You seek means of self-preservation.
You may sometimes feel the temptation
to...

Limerick
ComplicatedAnswers left more questions,
But lately I'm all wrong,
Continuing suggestions,
Daydreams to our song,
Even though you're above,
Forgiveness I have given,
Gripping for your love,
Held inside your prison,
Intellect enhanced,
Jerking our regret,
Kept the final chance,
Lying in neglect,
Mainly intoxicated,
Nonsense as a gift,
Obscenely complicated,
Prayers at sea, adrift,
Quiet screams so loud,
Reversed into beginning,
Shameful...

Mind's Dark SphereAs twilight's shadows light does fade
Dark machinations interstices invade
In deep crevasses, insecurities cascade
In dark corners, fears, doubts parade
Day's, blithe rhythms subconscious channels evade
Night's diabolical inventions the deep recesses pervade
My twittering eyes cannot the bleary apparitions dissuade
As mind's candle flickers, o'er frontal lobes dark minions escalade
As...

Inside This CaveInside this cave, my refuge, nave
I bend and stretch and breath,
to find myself among the ruins
of ancient places, faces, and history.
Although I strive to change the tide
of my own motivations,
something akin to a Zephyr wind
has me returning to old foundations.
Cornerstones, above the...

Coma Conversation: I Am In Your ComputerC:
I journeyed long upon the way, e-mailed through your router
hello "Henry", good to greet, I am in your computer
I am between him and her, so I am gender neuter
I am ten years landing along your northern equinox

Cat's Embassy - Fragments of the Too Long ThingI’ve died many times
And not been reborn.
Nine lives were mine;
Now two. Or three.
Or one;
This one, the last.
I am the cat,
But that’s not the answer.
I am for you to tell.
My kind did not evolve
Over long course, as yours,

Plant the Seeds For New BeginningsThe times they are a changin
a wake up nature’s stagin
With temperatures a risin
its really no surprise then
This change is heatin up
volcanos soon to erupt
ice will melt much more

Trees up root from ground
devastation all around!
