awkward always alone Allie
bragged boastfully to baby Bertie Bill
clearly clarifying club-footed cloven Callie
deliberately deciphering dairy dung in Dickie Dill
easing eager Edgar’s electrifying entry
forever forsaking flim-flam’s frequent flam
greasing gray grannie’s gentle gentry
hardily helping herself to Harry’s hottish ham

Clutching cloistered clues, clarifying a clumsily closed clergyman.

Death is so clarifying
I stopped looking for love and attention
When I die the same People that abandoned and neglected my presence will mourn the hardest
They’ll say we had the best bond ever.
Brothers, mothers, lovers… same people that would hang up in my face while I’m here.

what is clear when the fog clears,
the fog that makes you tipsy,
the dizzy feeling of falling…
there are stars of the past,
the fallen angels -
we don’t call them angels.
no longer the cherubs.
stars of clarity -
amazing.
ebon sky fills the mind.
wisdom of the ages,
I find.
those sparkling creations -
clarifying, cleansing
diamonds glitch.
the ring,
no longer petrified,
but razzle dazzling.
of what I speak of:
the time you held my hand
and we tarried
under the tent
of darkness and light,
targeted
our future -
it was the brightest white.
a bazillion stars
filled the horizon
aliens landed…
I imagined.
stars of clarity outreach -
they preach a sermon.
it is deep.

Who Is That Masked Man
Miracle Man
October 6, 2023
Many will see him as being another schnook,
perhaps questioning if he’s ever had a real job.
But in my mind I see an unpunished crook,
someone with possible connections to the mob.
Each day his cognizance needs clarifying,
but in his world he’s convinced he’s grooving.
He hesitates saying “if I’m lying I’m dying,”
because he typically is if his lips are moving.

Our teacher says, “By peer teaching you can learn,
You can share your thoughts lovingly through cooperation”
But there’s always a big problem with my peer partner, Fern
She's quite clumsy! Keeps dropping her stuffs when it’s my turn.
She crawls on the floor to get things, taking time to get up,
Her attention is so shallow, my patience is no longer enough;
Just enjoy crawling on the floor my friend, I won’t let you stop,
Anyways, you’re the best student in this class… always at the top.
I’ll just lay down cozily my head on our old school desk,
Thanks for sharing your bright ideas, clarifying things and all the rest;
I fervently hope you won’t hurt your knees, back and neck,
And nobody will find you crawling on the floor especially Mrs. Leclercq.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive." Shakespeare
WEAVE
A web
Wind silk taunt
Sticky design hung
I'll oblige and walk in
Then try to get it off fast
"Another woven lie in which I'm trapped."

At days end
Once enjoyed by us
Over our middle years
Time gains momentum on us

Life invites deeply sacred purpose
when Love widely integrates
enlightened meaning
within co-invested minds,
passion,
from balanced bodies,
co-operating integrity
of healthy wealth's
most resilient potential
Life engaging
deeply felt sacred mess
co-operatively owned and managed
EarthTribe clarifying purpose.

You are all here to see
Do you believe
Our Lord is here and will never leave
Surprise
He made you wise
Richfulness
Gracefulness
Brave
We helped save
A path well laid
Lifted our faith
Clarifying walk
Helped gather our thoughts
Recalled
Our love stands tall
Through the tenderness of our cotton
Love shall never be forgotten
Gave back to our community
Showing love to charity
A gentle care
Order to share
Saw beauty beyond

Divine instrument, is poetry
and only poetry with her magic vision,
who describes
the indescribable,
defines the indefinable,
exults the verisimilitude
of the simple, because
exceeds any limit
of the believable and the incredible
breaking the shackles
of the mysteries..
Simplifying and demystifying
the obscurities by clarifying
any and all secrets
exposing emotional beauty
of poetry...!

The Virus 2020
Written: by Miracle Man
2/8/2021
Twenty-twenty was a year of mere existence,
things we loved doing was met with resistance.
Life as we’d known it had came to a stop,
and you can’t, you must, came from the top.
Each day some new narrative needed clarifying,
It was a time of uncertainty, countless dying.
Professionals searched daily to shorten its stay,
and political shortcomings were causing a fray.
Numerous Jobs were lost as businesses went under,
and anxiety and depression as torn many asunder.
Schools went virtual and many bills went unpaid,
some visualize no future as thoughts are weighed.
This past year’s path was speed bumps and pot holes,
hatred, not God’s love, was possessing men’s souls.
We faced problems daily without formal resolution,
Lord, help us each day, to be a part of the solution.

Guitar on fire
Blasting us with jazziness
Opening our horizons
Dragging us down in flames
Then revving us up and holding us in the air
Hostage to your strings
Guitar on fire
Showing the truth of our feelings
Dancing on the edge of the world
Showing our hearts your wild
Clarifying feelings we can show in no other way
We begin to dance
Hostage to your strings
