Premium Member The Age of Abstract
(“The Mothership”, 2024, computer graphic encaustic collage) The Age of Abstract We live in a time defined by ideas and ideals When concepts and abstracts rule But what’s needed as a balance and antidote Is grounding in real life Relationships with others, real people and animals The real world, of rock and water, tree and sky And not an artificial world of AI...

Premium Member The Purity Test
Are you pure enough? Do those you support in religion, politics, Media and entertainment pass The purity test? What about your friends, lovers, Children and parents Do they pass the test? What about your pets? Where does it end This desire for consistency and purity Of purpose and effect? Or perhaps a better question, Where does it begin? (11/24/24)...

Premium Member Gee, Why Can’t We All Just Get Along
This basic wish Is the wish of every mother and child The wish for things to be safe and fun For everyone to smile And not push and shove, yell and fight. It’s the wish that drives them like sheep Into the beautiful green pastures over there Just beyond the bounds, always Just out of reach. It’s the wish to unite Form a one...

beyond what's happening and far beyond imagining there is a world of imagery a boundless sea of fantasy though some may call it heresy kindness is the only currency pure hearts give their song in prayer it's open season for poets there beyond hopes forgotten on a shelf this is a universe onto itself where laws of physics don't apply and lofty dreams there never die AP:...

Premium Member Idealism on Standby
Welcome to our generation, We hope you enjoy this fantastic nation, Kids here stand on a quicksand foundation, And fear their schools are a gunned down station. When they watch the news near and far, The horrors they witness leave a scar. When they’re in school, their fears on par, They remember their bleeding peers, free and barred. How many wars are being...

Premium Member A Poet Needs Compatriots
There is magic in life, but you must let go of anyone,out to destroy your soul. Of these there are a plethora. Are they descendants of Sodom and Gemmorah ? These poets…simply cannot let you joyfully be! Unless, your ideas match theirs in tandem, in modern poetry, do you see? Dare you be different, they turn against you, indeed,...

Idealism Or Someone
What do you see in my emaciated emerald eyes? Idealism or someone lost in love and hatred Birds eat my meat thrown on the clean floor A death sentence has passed on my sick neck Don't grind your teeth as you walk on my rotting body My blood has become fertilizer for the roads of the raging seas The...

Premium Member A Search For Idealism
Without solid footing, idealism is a dream From a position of strong sociopolitical reality Words kill idealism without a scheme Idealists deem the short-term triviality. The ideal balance between man and nature A serene scene of transcendence unfolds Driftless area, spawning a densely green layer An unusual utopia that captivates nave's goals! It was alike sitting in a sumptuous Xanadu This is the demagogue...

Premium Member A Search For Idealism
Going within the shrine of my heart's hidden mind, In things without, the truth I often do not find; I dream of greatness. This I expect in others. As each, in life, have individual druthers...! The facts of my universe are truly well-known, I should meditate on my true forms clearly shown; 'Cogito Ergo Sum' - Descartes so proudly...

I came across an ancient manuscript Long languishing in a cluttered drawer Where hidden memories lay among The flotsam and jetsam of my life, And reading it I realized a forgotten time When idealism was a guiding principle In my way of life, when in my naivete I was convinced I could change the world. I had taken many bits of my life...

Disillusion and Idealism
The fluffy snow melts slowly, its whiteness is stunning... and turning into torrents of rain, it sets grief on people's faces! Passing sails are a delight to see, but the anchored gondolas grieve, they miss lovers who sang arias; can sunset change the air of sobriety and offer dreamers some real hope? No, gladness is not found here! Smiles are not influenced by emotions,...
