Premium MemberThe Faerie Girl

she leans flexibly
as a monarch butterfly or luna moth leans
standing against a backdrop of rainbow sun
a faerie such as the world has never seen
but immediately loves

Being Good

Purely innocent
Completely tolerant
Unconditionally loving
Totally understanding
Overtly gullible
Unobtrusively humble
Intimately sympathetic
Thoroughly empathetic

Throughout caring
Never ignoring
Perpetually loyal
Consistently grateful
Labouriously studious
Discreetly judicious
Immediately yielding
Indiscriminately sharing

Socially polite
Un-assumedly modest
Flexibly adjusting
Unquestioningly accepting
Astonishingly punctual
Immanently answerable
Ever committed
Naturally obligated

All definitions read but not hold good,
For, being good is definitely being victimised!

Premium MemberDactyl Mcwhirtle

Poetry, throw-a-three
Dactyls for you and me
Six silly bulls, I see
All in a field!

Myrtle McWhirtley
This is the life for me
No silly names, I see
Less junk to wield.

Dactylly Practical
Superfantastical
Equally Whimsical
More Flexibly

So dactyls or whirtles?
Just tighten your girdles
Throw down some poetry
Effortlessly!

Carrie-Ellen

Conjured by gravity, 
she shape-shifts in adventitious magic
Apprehensive of resistance, 
she folds, bent into his charisma

Rough rocks spiny are smoothed to bubbling baubles rounder
Rough rocks silent are cajoled to gush repartees that thunder

Inside their walls they shine beguilingly, 
holding her in radii, even as she spreads, 
spilling her misty veils on them to escape-

Ellen first, she gliding-sways, 
serpentine-sculpting with ease,
longing for the deep stillness of his pull
where she can pool
Long her limbs grow, 
as she turns into Carrie under control...

Ellen or Carrie, autonomy of form’s forever beyond her scope

Never was a fate more apparent – 

to flexibly flow and drown

Premium MemberRepurposing Anger

At last,
we are angry with each other
coincidentally,
simultaneously,
which may be a coincidence,
but probably not;

Depending on active faith 
in linear cause-effect relationships,
leftbrain dominant yang powers,

And/or
circular dipolar co-arising
co-passioned effective unpolarized relationship, 
causes v effects = effective causal recycles
of rightbrain both/and recessive yintegrity.

Now,
at last,
we have set our synergetic communication stage
to test this ancient hypothesis
that two negatives
are equal to a potential positive co-passion,
as polynomials
may equal not not polynomials

Where positive
also equals leftbrain healthy
and rightbrain safe

And negative anger
equals leftbrain liberally 
communication healthy
when rightbrain feels conservatively safe

Despite never considering this internal hypothesis
because of patriarchal
dualistic
win/lose capitalistic faith
in not not equivalent potential
for ego/ecosystemic win/wins

Despite respite death through life
ego/eco-recycles
repurposing timeless eternity
of unity
more flexibly equitable
than uniformity
of leftbrain thoughts 
against rightbrain feelings.

The Art of Martial Arts

Martial arts come in many forms
They’d studied the animals until dawn
With style and grace they master their art
From dusk till dawn they train from the heart



Fluid and free they move like water
Practicing moves that could slaughter
A highly skilled philosophy
Moving with elegance, such as tai chi




The wind you don’t see, it’s just the effect
Using their chi, with the greatest respect
Ready for action at lightning speeds
They deliver a blow with complete accuracy




Their knowledge of every meridian point
They flexibly, challenge every joint
Toning their body’s to live their dream
Kung Fu masters these ones supreme




With speed and timing precise as can be
Their talents are raw, quick and deadly
Balanced, controlled and complete in mind
These the grand masters of ancient time





One full of wisdom, courage and hope
The fist of the dragon, one might boast
As these martial arts make one to reform
It’s an art in its self, a philosophy born
