Premium Member New Jerusalem

can you imagine?

a sacred wonderland...
                 built 
   at the top of a mountain 
   for all of humanity 
to peacefully co-exist, 
a place where 
        no one gets ill,
              no wars are fought,
      to see 
what true harmony looks like.

       a place where 
happiness forever endures;
there are no more shadows 
to indicate 
when somebody will die;
        all quiet valleys
                  at rest.

just imagine...
                             p  at the sky,
when one looks u
one finds peace...
a place where 
    transient times 
        do not remember 
             the flavor of death.

         i am free
to live and thrive,
never feeling sorrow and pain 
here, the spirit 
wakes up into 
a world without an end

here, the conquest of death 
by happiness will be 
      as long-lasting as
            the peace is.

a place known as...
           new jerusalem 

just imagine...

CLOUD OF MUD

CLOUD OF MUD
                                     

It is not a white cloud.
It is not a dark cloud.
It is a cloud of mud.

It doesn´t indicate the presence of the sun;
It doesn´t announce a rainy day.

It is a mix of water and dirt
It is not a white cloud.
It is not a dark cloud.
It is not a cloud.


Premium Member 'Too-Da-Loo' is Replaced


     A wedding is a gamble
          A marriage is a leap
     High divorce rates indicate
          We just get-ridda the creep

     Paper cups and paper plates
          Disposable diapers too
     Once they’re used, out they go
          Same with spouses ~ POO-da-loo!

Premium Member Running in the Rain

Today my daily run, it's pouring rain
From exercise there is so much to gain
What ever the weather I will not refrain
I pass a group of smokers outside a fast  non "food" quick death franchise chain

Running bare foot, bare top in just shorts alone
I feel the multitude of raindrops massage my tanned skin
Luckily I'm not a "LOAN SHARK"
In this heavy rain I would need to grow a fin

In the middle of the town I'm aware of many stares
that seem to indicate I"m entirely mad
I assume I don't have all their addictions
I'm free from many a nasty fad

So here's to the rain providing many puddles
into which ,with fun,  I can run and jump and splash
The rivers creeks the land
with life giving water they are all awash
Another poem's come to mind 
the time has come to dash

Premium Member You Need Me Primary Colors Edition

I am the blue crayon in your crayon box,
and it is clear that you need me.
I can color the sky that is the cosmos above your head,
and I can give you a refreshing drink of water.
Don't try to make me just like you,
I am pretty sure that I need you too.

I am the yellow crayon in your crayon box,
and it is clear that you need me.
I color the sun that warms the day.
And I am the color of the lemons in your lemonade.
Don't try to make me just like you,
I am pretty sure that I need you too.

I am the red crayon in your crayon box,
and it is clear that you need me.
I color the cherry that tastes oh so sweet,
and I am the color on a map to indicate heat.
Don't try to make me just like you,
I am pretty sure that I need you too.

We are the primary colors in your crayon box,
and it is clear that you need us.
We can mix and blend into the colors you desire
Or stand strong on our own accord. 
Don't try to make us just like you,
We are pretty sure that we need you too.

Nature's Decay and Rebirth

Flowers fade and decay through wintry hours - waiting for rebirth."
                         Quote by - Constance La France

The night extends its life longer 
The temperature gets colder 
The colourful landscapes fade to orange
Rustic browns shape the scene 

Sepia tones indicate age
The natural world decaying
Stripped back; the bareness of finality
Stark images of looming death 

The bleak imagery of winter
In still and dark whispers of light
Destruction pervading terrains of white
Enveloping the ground 

Daylight returns in victory
For darkness relinquishes strength
Bare desolation is melting away
With sunlight warming earth 

Glimmering shards of renewal
As buds begin taking new form
Birthing beginnings; life everlasting 
Cycle of change restored

Premium Member Wear A Salmon On Your Head

Wear a salmon on your head,
          the wild Orca said,
make it a big chinook
          or perhaps a steelhead.

It's very avant-garde;
          it makes a fashion dent,
and kittens think the smell
          is heaven sent.

A salmon hat is a cultural fad displayed by orcas, where they wear dead salmon upon their heads. It was first observed in 1987 with southern resident orcas and was a relatively short-lived phenomenon. In 2024, the behaviour was observed again with orcas in Puget Sound. The motivations for salmon hats are unclear, but other orcas will mimic the behaviour once it begins. One hypothesis is that orcas wear salmon hats to display high food availability, or that the same individuals that originally started the trend revitalized it. It may also indicate playfulness. ~Wikipedia

Premium Member Prismed Face: An Abstraction

*Please note: 
I'm not in the throes of sadness.  Just a write for another poetry site.
~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes are half closed for I fear to see
what worry and anxiety have made of me.
All day I've been twisted out of shape,
wincing at my disheveled appearance.
Life has taken a toll with its interference.

My mirrored face is a prism, a color spectrum,
reflections that indicate the paths I've traveled.
It's no wonder I look completely unraveled
and seem to be moving in opposite directions.

I'm an abstract work of art, hastily brushed
with my own hand when I'm feeling rushed.
Blue when sadness tears my world in two,
Cadmium yellow on days when I feel mellow.

When heated anger tints my soul, my cheeks
flush with shades of red and buff. It's been weeks
since I've felt bold enough to paint with oils.
Misfortune leaves me feeling like used tin foil.

I must pull myself back together and gather
my thoughts. Untwist the ropes that tether me.
Too many worries have crisscrossed my face
and spying eyes I've come to intensely despise.

Buddha meets ... that is strange,
Announce the meet ... strange the more,
Buddha meets ... not so strange,
Announce misquote ... Buddha just wrote,
Though history ... Buddha's story, 
Timing bit off ... historians scoff,
What came first; egg or chicken ... what came post; begs a question,
Christmas or Buddha ... Buddha or Christmas,
It is neither ... here nor there,
Ergo ... Therefore,
Flip a coin, heads or tails ... make your choice, while coin sails,
A guess is a guess ... my best is my best,
Here goes nothing ... substance something,
Buddha crosses time ... Christmas line a Cross
Christmas Star o'er Bethlehem ... faraway came three wise men,
Buddha is pleased with Christmas sight ... Buddha's lifetime records and write,  
The nativity scene ... Buddha cites how it beamed,
Joseph and Virgin Mary, and baby Jesus makes three all the same ... Buddha scrolls down parchment that indicate advent that coined Christs' name,
Idyllic pastoral scenes of shepherds and farm animals and three wise men bearing gifts from afar ... Buddha captures the highlights breaths exhale and inhale words repetitively transform plain and not Czar.

Premium Member I laugh at their efforts to shame me

I laugh that my friends think managing my cell phone time is rude
I keep my phone off until I want to make a call out.
saving me time I would not have wanted to spend
listening to people who want to be listened to.

my friends indicate that I am a traitor, less a friend than I could be
if I left my phone on, and kept myself at the ready for their calls.
I do not let my phone dictate my hours; I value my time
and laugh at their efforts to shame me.

Premium Member On Safety for School Buses

Do you know why bus rules are important?
We stop for school buses as they’re slowing.
Their yellow lights indicate take caution.
When red, the lights mean kids you may see going. 
They might be going on the bus or off.
On two-lane roads, whether you are front or rear,
you have to stop, and the reason is
kids out of anywhere might appear.

Children can be hard sometimes to spot.
Around big yellow buses, please take care.
What of those on lanes that number three or more?
Those coming from the rear then must be aware.
Buses have been built for children’s safety. 
They’re energy-absorbing, did you know??
Both economically and environmentally!
School buses for our kids are the greatest way to go.

Premium Member The Woods


I never get lost 

I have never been lost. 

Yet

Here I am 

Lost, in a place unknown 

Crunch! Crack!

 Such sounds indicate

 I'm here,not alone

squawk hiss, cheep 

nature's sweet tone 

not so sweet

Hearing a ping

Hearing the ring of somebody's phone 

Drip from above 

Drop down below 

soil wet from the rain 

 footsteps squelch and  approach

 The voice of a stranger
  
 They Croak out hello. 

Although scared, my fears pop

 I'm a chattering drone 

 The plop of a tear in my eyes clearly show

I say 

Please can you help me? 

Find my way  home 

My first time that ive prayed,

since being this grown 

My  first and last time,

in the woods and its zone
