Chi Poems

Tai One On

I wasn't long in Hong Kong,
before I saw my first tai chi,
and it gave me the strangest notion,
the exercisers, advancing all in a row,
were line dancing in slow motion.

They put their left hand in,
right hand out,
in, out, in, out,
waved them all about
and, set to soothing, soulful music,
the male practitioners suggestively sang,
"If you show me your

Water gives - 
Troubled waters to wade,
Holy Rivers to bathe,
Break of waters, for birth and re-birth,
Font for sprinkles and signs made,
Medium and milieu for Chi,
Steep of leaves for tea,
Drinks to receive,
Washes to revive, relieve,
Rains to come, 
Wells to fill,
Thirst to quench,
From wellsprings of water,
Forever distilled, wet
With the Spiritual 
Everlasting!

Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail, 31 May, 1970

B-52: a city on its own. 
You mess with us, we’ve got technology.
I loved it when we flew into the zone:
as Ernie said, “We’ll kill ’em till they’re free.”

My job? To watch the black cascade of death
and myriad explosions in the woods:
Louisiana lilt – “You hold your breath,”
that’s Ernie’s voice – “delivering the goods!”

The pretty

Probably with the most evilest of laughs! 
89,000 gold nuclei per second.
Sounds medieval:knowledge and enquiry 
based on ancient findings. Findings learned from
Latin and Greek Natural Scientist.
Medieval scientific knowledge and enquiry 
precious metal gold was a dream of
 medieval alchemists.
Instead of focusing on fixing individual parts,
systemic thinking looks at how everything
 in a system is connected.

what was love Yeu la cai chi chi

2025.03.06
Dear God,
I humbly kneeled in front of you.
Please blessed and protected me.
I have lived many years,
Why did I develope this feelings?
To someone who had heart of coals.
I wished I could resolve and remove,
All the emotional pain,
And stick to my single life's plan.
Tomorrow will be another day again,
From sun rises to sun sets.
All I want is

Egwu

I heard footsteps approaching, and two knocks on my door.
I thought it was Oluchi, an angel recreated in human form.
I opened with curiosity to behold my priceless gem.
Stretching my hands to her waist, I felt the thick darkness in my palms.
“Who's there?”
A cool breeze greeted me, leaving the dazzling moon to gaze at me.
Is it

Per Chi E' Solo E Non Ama-For The Lonely One Who Doesn't Love

Per chi e' solo e non ama,
ci saranno solo giorni
cosi' lunghi e grigi;
e' tanto facile comprendere la sua noia,
perche' io ero uno di loro, cercando i sorrisi, togliendoli ai piu' felici: forse era invidia!
E' non tanto facile capire la mia nioa, la persita della mia liberta'
e non esplorare l'estasi,
non essere felice cantando una melodia!

Per chi

''Ydych Chi Eisiau Fioled'' - Do You Want a Violet

“Do you want a violet?”
I turn to glance at her,
Hazel-green eyes aglow,
Yellow-edged with sunflower petals.

I cannot talk. I smile.
I stare at her for a while.
She has violets in her hair,
Sprinkles of purple everywhere,
Intertwined with every strand.

And suddenly, she grabs my hand, 
The other slips by me, grazes my cheek,
Atop my head rests a crown of

Premium MemberI'M Going With the Chi

I'm going with the chi inside of me. I'm humming to the sound of the gong. I'm saying good bye to anxiety and emotions that don't belong..Let the tributaries flow and set me free. They've been there all along. I'm listening to my blood as it speaks to me, it's writing a brand new song.

Chi Chi's Churros

Celestial musings that you
said to me - "Chi Chi’s"
stick doughnuts fried in sugar
love their specialties,

Terrestrial mirth
plain, cream cheese or chocolate,
best churros on earth.


April 19, 2020

My poem is a seguidilla which is Spanish but not like a quesadilla.

Chi-ly will the wily wonder grow
From beyond the boundary
Elements remain powered by an energy
No verse conversed to be constrained

Show him wonders soon revealed
To double down on his display
He steals a word from all beyond
To cast another masterpiece today

The body moves and drives the words away
Stillness helps the lowly scribe to hear
Precision of a finer voice,
