Best Zones Poems

In PermaCulture Design
we have orthodox healthy outcome trends
which we call polycultural development,
and we have decompositional unhealthy outcomes,
when life does not go as integrally planned,
which we call, by comparison, 
monoculturally unfortunate results.
More of a weedpatch
than the organic Paradise we had in mind.

This broad range of negative...

While I'm eating my muesli,
you're dreaming away.
While I'm hard at work,
you're sleepily laid.
While I'm relaxing at dusk,
You're stirring at dawn.
While I'm dreaming away,
you're day is reborn....

Oh, these areas you possess.
I love to stimulate them.
To kiss them, to caress them,
to taste them.
Inside the wrist, skin so tender.
Behind the knees,
you pulse, I feel quicken.
Your nipples, standing tall,
begging my affection.
My hot breath on your neck,
shivers down your spine.
Your hands, so soft,
ones that give...

In a state controlled by a fanatical militia
Fuelled by a desire for revenge,
They sit cowering in a crumpled cellar,huddled close,
Wide-eyed kids whimpering
Held tight by sad-eyed women and grim-faced
Men,muttering their imprecations
While listening to the crump,
Crump of the incessant shells raining down on their village,
Their hearts racked...

Quasi Mote - Oh Ephemeral Transit Across Proto Zones!

Strictly speculation from this mind,
who contemplates stripped down version
bajillion eons ago
cosmic bit sized dots
pinwheeled thru spatial void

repulsed and/or attracted
colluding (putin on the Ritz)
infinitesimal show stopper
devoid of prior rehearsal
since previous cosmic contraction

absent remembrance
tabula rasa, viz consciousness
if rebooted, reincarnated,
repurposed,...

DRAGON ZODIAC  ZONES

If not for this contest
I would not have comb out astrology
But, I wanted to please Nette
So, I sat down, investigate my Zodiac sign.

Water dragon, that is me!
My daughter calls me “rooster cuts off in its head!”
Fits the character of the dragon:
Full of...

Now let me get this straight
(as in clear, logical, and unemotional)
I cannot accuse anyone of lying
or question their truth.
But they can accuse me
of spreading “misinformation”
because they
don’t agree
with me.

Does their “judgement free zone”
have only one chair in it?

Tepid is the temperate waters of a balmy sea. As organic trees swing in curvatures. Equilibrium is not a given thing. Particularly not when infestation is right so don't chuck a horse in a bin. When a rabbit uses a fish knife at the table...

In and out of interlying zones
Driving home
Up and down a winding road
Where you can see some flying crows
Near plants trying to grow
And other animals whether sunshine or snow


I'm occasionally mining stones
Using the skills I was shown


Something you might want to remember or scribble down
Regardless of...

There are many zones
the popular Twilight Zone
crossing the school zone
with all the basics
like writhing and reeling and
arrhythmias are fatal

for Western students
cluelessness, secrecy, and
incapacity
ignored globe grows dust
and the school's walls have blackboards
dartboards for target practice

the teachers alarmed
walled Glocks that toll assassins
the lambs are noisy
indoors and outdoors
the...

Each time you read one of my poems
A sweet little fairy will call you on  the phone
Offers you a wish
Blows you a kiss
If you're still upright, she'll tickle your proto zoan...

       A cold, comfortless park bench
          an empty subway train

       A bed of leaves, trending damp

scotching sun I've seen
to concerts of birds, I've been
between nature's zones
seen seedlings slowly mature.
seen too moons and stars in lure
between nature's zones

season's weather beat
fog, dewdrops, showers, and heat
between nature's zones
I've seen, like guests, come and go.
at random, their fashions show
between nature's zones

chants of gravediggers
trumpet of...

When young African princes 
                   and princesses decide 
                        to cross lions zones, 
Think about the future strong and
decisive kings and queens.

The French word for ‘cockroach’ is ‘le cafard’.
In some contexts it can mean ‘depression’.
But for the soldiers always standing guard, 
‘Avoir le cafard’ refers to boredom.
I’ve heard war has been described as follows:
“Ninety percent boredom, the rest: TERROR”.
It’s true for those hiding in their hollows,
Whether...
