Fourth Poems

All I Want

Of all the things the world can give,
The hopes for which a heart can live,
The vast horizon, grand and wide,
Just one small thought cannot subside.
The noise of life is just a haze,
A passing blur of ordinary days.
For in this whole, wide, sweeping view,
A heart is set on just one thing, just you.
And if the future

Premium MemberA Fourth of Nine

Like the globe she dances
Spinning on pointed toe
Pole to pole she meets
With arms en haut to show
Perfect orb, she crystal glow
Out as far as up, and
Down as far as in.
Jormungandr swim
Slicing through the molten core, 
A double sided blade,
To each degree of astrolabe 
Swim figure eight eternity.

Diametric pins astride
The face of ticking time

The Gilded Age by Mark Twain in his 1873 novel /The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, which satirized the era's materialism and political corruption is just what this King has ordered in his Megabill —Poetess

There was economic prosperity,
tho unconscionable social inequality
as a few “robber barons” tycoons
amassed great fortunes,

The Fourth of July is almost here,
it will be hot but will it be clear?
Fireworks made me pee my pants,
all wet but I will still dance.
Pretty colors do not run in fear.

Arms like tiny windmills spin through morning air.
Aiming, she builds pathways?deep within her mind.

Another swing flows onward like waves upon the shore.
Awakening intention burns?as neural roads unwind.

Reaching past reflexes like butterflies from cocoons.
Rhythmic movements carve?the skills she'll always find.

Object permanence sparkles bright like diamonds in her sight.
Orchestrating muscles smooth,?her future self designed.

Hand-eye coordination weaves like

Chemo, Puberty & the Fourth Watch

by Patrick Cornwall

Wake up—rush for the toilet, say my prayers.
Stomach races, chasing bowels,
anxious like horses shot from a gate.

Chemo, the man said. Takes time to get used to. And I’ll ring you.
I take a shower. Just trying to rinse the sick away.
Ready for the day.
The sun leads me out—
then gas

The Liar on the Fourth

Holidays are meant to be significant for enjoyment!
The problem is that the proposal for engagement is met with pure blissful ignorance!
Denying my words for a union of an engagement!
Was wrong as you lied to a person that wanted to build a bridge based on acceptance!

Stay within the confounds of your status as you will not

Fourth Turning

I wonder
How far we’ll go
So desperate for heroes who are first
Criminal enterprises
Romanticized as rebels
Lies wrapped in a maybe-he-could-make-it-all-better?
From what?
To what?

We do not consider

Perhaps for lungs
A bowl of water
A slice of sun shone through a winter window

If I had fingers
I’d perch atop an Oak
Squawk to the mountainous clouds
Construct a nest from its torn cotton

If I had

Fourth Shard
I need to clean
Who’s gonna clean?
What do I do?
I can not move 
I’m tired
I need to rest
Five minutes
Please
I’m tired
I need to rest
Please be quiet 
I’m trying to rest 
Shhhhh
Just five minutes 
I’ll clean in five minutes
I need rest

In an instant 
It happened so fast 
And unable to

Happy two thousand twenty fourth birthday Autumn September twenty second

Happy two thousand twenty fourth  birthday Autumn - September twenty second

But first etymological climatological meteorological esoterica:

The word autumn (/'??t?m/) is derived from Latin autumnus, archaic auctumnus, possibly from the ancient Etruscan root autu-and has within it connotations of the passing of the year. Alternative etymologies include Proto-Indo-European *h3ew?- ("cold") or *h2sows- ("dry").
