Best Xvi Poems

Already I reached the place where heard the sound
Of falling water in the circle next
Suchlike the rumble done by hives around,

When three spirits together changed their treks,
Running, out of  an horde just passing there
Under the rain and of their pains effects.

Came towards us, each...

THE GOOD OLD DAYS – JOURNAL XVI

Looking back from this point
I’d have to make a division
Between adults and children
For adults the many tasks were more

The thirties were the ultra-sparse of times –
Men out seeking work, women with back

Unquotable quotes Friends – XVI

Can friends also be lovers ; not certainly under covers.
Can friends do one another harm and stay calm ; not unless they have lost their sense of alarm.
Can you make a friend do what you will not do yourself ; what’s...

Transformation (XVI)

Do you think you know water
because you drink it?
It’s not just chemistry,
hydrogen and oxygen molecules…
yes, its nature is fluid
and its texture is wet,
these are what the senses know.

Water has no steady-state,
it can be frozen in matter
or be the dancing clouds,
it transforms based on the...

His name is Joseph Ratzinger, the new pope Benedict XVI,
Installed as the two hundred sixty-fifth pope since foundation;
he’s a staunch defender of orthodox Catholic doctrine;
he’s German, an accomplished polyglot and theologian,
a good friend with sincerity and humility in every action.

He’s remembered too as someone who’s...

The Pope Benedict XVI chants, " Pater Noster " with a voice not so grand
while distracting himself by gazing at God's outstretched hand
that Michelangelo painted so well
on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.


This is a Gregorian chant with music sumptuously composed
by monastery monks whose life...

He's messed up the whole earth's morale
Donald's not a traveler's pal
Because he's a thug
We must yank out his plug
As Kubrick directed for HAL

Author's note: Last line is a reference to "2001 A Space Odyssey." Quite like what happened to the HAL 9000 computer in the...

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XVI

IF you pull a long limp face
Long as a mile of lies made of clay
Little the wonder no kind of praise
Can pull you out of utter dismay

Then if you pulled that long clay face
Right round the block...

The morning eye do I love
it see a new day untouched
a breath of sight so grand
a peace-inner speak-eye

tussle the bed sheet, a flag
that Nation for the sleeper
my Anthem made of murmur
whisper-speak my tender love

and each morning i awaken
do i see my Nation next to me
that...

XVI. 

They spoke kindly those.

They reveled fondly of theirs

Of tender times reminisced.

Journeys made in fellowship.

Deeds for the sake of deeds.

Forgiven solely to forgive.

They broke bread partook of salt and imbibed wine.

None can speak ill of such charity.

Of this a query arose.

Thine was not of those....

‘Do you think you can make demands of us?  
Chance said ‘Why continue with all this fuss?
No worries pet you can keep him for now.
That is all I will promise or allow.’

At the mercy of hunger I agreed; 
For now Jordan was not going...

The beat that composes
Summer’s zealous speech
Employed my bones with jubilees
A quaint taste laced
with pornographic oaths
Of which I abstain from forsaking
As in her caress I descend...
