Conflagrations of Contemplation

Conflagrations of Contemplation

Elemental exaltations for refined explanations 
Permeatations of conflagrations that seek to define progressive nations 
Illuminations of consecrations that have me seeking contemplation
Acclimatisation toward configurations that have been building a new space station 

Fusions of finite resources to be plundering 
Contusions of insight and sources to be pondering 
Infusions of delight without remorse to

I am 1,248 songs of complicated rhythm. Prose and verses tell a story of my decisions…my indecision. I am skin shaped, in 42 different shades of foolery, a life lover doing my best to avoid an other, but they seem to be everywhere these days. Crawling out from under rocks, or latent in my twisted

Premium MemberA CONTEMPORARY TALE - 1

Now this species known as modern mankind
Goes after selfish aims to feed its mind
Its actions all focus upon self gain
And so it must pursue its greedy game
Its every effort is aimed on profit
And in this pursuit it wrecks the planet
It's happy when it's grabbing all in haste
But we must not mention its filthy waste
It exploits

O Neither be you not afraid when He appears in the middle oft the cloudy air,
Nor neither you be found to verily be considered to be unworthy to stand therein.

Of the world due to His never ending grace and mercy resting

Devil's Muse

I sold my soul, no soulmate remains,
Just ashes and echoes of celestial chains.
I slipped through the cracks of the devil’s gate,
Now I’m the storm you’ll learn to hate.

Bad ideas bloom like roses with thorns,
I’ll rewrite the cosmos, watch it burn and transform.
Oh oh oh, the devil’s gone missing?
Oh oh oh, the demons are hissing.
Oh oh

contemporary adversaries

contingent plans for evolving
without withdrawal . Steadfast
characters in play on all fronts
present and accommodated
by the resistance.  Otherwise
thoughts lean through
one another's meaning.
Leading is heard of
Naught sheperded

WOMEN IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY

There are two types of women, I've found
One type fights in silence, steady and strong 
The other thrives in the spotlight, fierce and bold.

I could go on about the latter
But the former stretches beyond my imagination
How I wish I could grasp the depth of their quiet admiration.

The women of today, the second type I've known
I

The Contemporary Revelation

As I Read through the books 
I can find the words that decode 
I become a poet
Not by circuit but by pursuit
As I am fostering the new generation 
I always wanted to be famous
I reclaim that the theories
Put forward are worries
I don't know whether I am scholar
I don't know how how to use my knowledge
As

A Contemporary Complaint for Consideration

Annotations of mis-co-ordinations of the latest military drone strike 
The fear when the children of Ukraine hear bomb raid sirens into the night 
What’s near when all that you can contain is silenced by your fright 
A seer blind in the conventional way and devoid of traditional visual sight 

Theolonius Monk riffing improvised scales on

Author’s note: The following is in haibun form—poetic prose (microfiction with less than 200 words in this case) coupled with a haiku. It was written in response to a writing prompt to (re)tell a Christmas story in local (Michigan in this case) contemporary terms. Bronson Hospital is our local hospital, and deer are mystical creatures
