Writing PoetryPoems may be simple, try writing a rhyme,
add some images to make it sublime.
Simple words may make meaningful phrases,
difficult words can turn into mazes.
You could write a Limerick, just for fun,
don’t forget a surprise before you’re done.
Write a nice Haiku, a scene of nature,
like flowing mountain streams with water pure.
A Sonnet would be nice...

Our LegacyAs obvious as it may seem,
Our higher life we must redeem.
To get full value, its true worth,
It’s not a given at one’s birth.
First acknowledged, then understood,
Overcome ego, become good.
Use your energy to create,
Our deeper thoughts our true estate.
To share the truth that we have gleamed,
Our higher self must be redeemed.
Legacy: our thoughts repeated.
Shows our life...

Filtered Through Consciousness
like steaming water seeps through the openings in the bottom of a colander
the wisdom of ages past is filtered by my conscious mind
leaving all but a few bits and pieces caught in the process
I am ashamed to only share the remnants of the astounding truth that came to me
giving only the morsels that manage to...

Ode aan een avondmaaltijd
voor CINDY ANSONG
Je eten is heerlijk
de pittigheid en hartige toevoeging
naar de schemering is een aangrijpende kreet
een gesloten lengte.
Als de nek van een giraf uit de wolken
die volledig tevreden is
Ik slaakte een geschrokken kreet
met een DANKJEWEL.

Creative CommunicationWe poets, writers, misfits of the world
like artist or mystics or troubadours
use our gifts to give insight to others
we offer more pulling back the covers.
We did not fit in with most of our peers.
When young we were often taunted to tears.
We often were quiet in our own zone.
And most of the time you’d find...

A bee needs...

The Creator's GiftWhat is the gift the Creator doth give?
Providing a purpose for which to live.
It could be the consciousness He gave man.
The awareness we’re part of His grand plan.
Faith and trust in what’s physically not seen.
An eternal life, but what does that mean?
Thoughts that come to us from we know not where.
Caring without knowing just why...

The TreasureTo live in abundance and magnify your fortune you must DIVINELY work for it. The far measures of where man will go for an instant magnitude relentlessly disqualifies the thoughts of having abundant control over their own hearts with love and forgiveness. And in addition, the practice of satisfying skin compared to a clean heart,...

Should I Share My ThoughtsDare I show others, what it is I see?
A path one may take, to set themselves free.
The words that I speak, should give them a clue,
Open a doorway for them to go through.
By offering others an explanation.
Each one can see their part of creation.
I will share with them the thoughts of my soul,
To them the...

UsefulnessAll gifts must be given to sustain their usefulness.
Like blood, life is in the flow, if not flowing, blood dries and dies.
Movement, the constant changing, sustains the life of all living entities of creation.
The Sun gives energy that sustains life on Earth.
It renews itself every night by sharing the job
of lighting the Earth with the...

The Moon's Purpose
As the pale, pacific moon hung low, silent and still, waiting for
this day's receipts.
When echoes of day's purchases will be absorbed either in the heavenly or
hellish holes of the waning moon.
Weary with wars, the deceit of greed, where hate is heralded more, the
selfish, superior ones, their darkness dimming their light,...
