Michaela Renee 's World
Creative, Visionary...Welcome to Michaela
Renee's World,
Where truth endures raw, where the margins
Swirl,
Where life don't maneuver in a straight-
Line scene-
It arches, it snaps, it flips between.
Twist and turns in every gist, Rhymatic
Beats cut keen-edge and gleaming.
This ain't just poetry- it's pulse and momentum,
It's breath grasped tight in a crowded space.
Life talks blaring in the path you choose, opt
Some wayside break, some on the roads
Bruise.
But you walk powerfully built through every
Curve, Spoken word solid with grit and nerve.
Storms impact hard but you don't fold, you
Revise pain into bars you hold.
Every setback flickers a line you acquires,
Every information taught flips into a zigzag
Flow in your pulse and pace,
Truth in your voice, fire in your territory,
This world is yours- You set the locality,
Michaela Renee...
You carve your path, turning thriving chaos
Into spoken-world flame.
Lighthouse—sentinel seaside;
A welcome sight, steadfast light.
To mariners, a true guide;
Beacon helping them steer right
Whether in high or low tide.
Beam of light, helpful at night;
Gives sailors a safer ride.
Lighthouses help guard the coast,
Warn of fog, hazards, and more -
Reef or shoal cloaked like a ghost.
Small skyscrapers of the shore;
Michigan—state with the most
Lookout towers during war
Other Great Lakes states do host.
Lighthouses’ inspiration
Shines with versatility,
Beyond just navigation -
Mix of style, locality,
Range, and illumination.
Standing with vitality!
When heavy rain has caused mass run-off from bare farmland above
and the creek has become murky and muddy reddish browned
How do the fish, the turtles, eels and also tiny shrimp, maintain vision,
to fossick for their food in the locality where they are found
In the tropic monsoon wet season, it can often take some weeks
before the creek has subsided and the water finally clears
Environmental pollution, that results from mans pursuits,
it's exponential, been happening for years
Will it take mass extinction of most of humankind to return to sanity,
on this beautiful creation, known as planet Earth
Craziness prevails throughout the human race
common sense and love seems to be in a state of dearth
The hills,once green,now bare
yeild to poppy fields.
in rainy season,fierce torrents race down
towards the valley.
And in the valley,ancient rills-
dug by the kings,
most of them now chocked and buried
encroached out of view.
So water gushes wild
past the old foundations deep,
swallowing homes,roads,and,markets
without mercy in the monsoon's cruel roar.
Coming to my locality,
a rill that drain water stood for ages
encroached by the selfish ones
whose places remain dry
even in the rainy season.
And that rainy season brought
floods to our doors.
Our locality drowned,homes flooded once more.
Then the local club rose,
cleared the clogged course,
and waters receded- the levels fell low.
Relief washed over us.
But this very winter,
scourge struck anew;
encroachment returned
as intruders broke through.
The rill level does not drain;
the cycle repeats
the levels stay high again.
Once more we brace
for the rains yet to come.
It is a perennial threat
to our safety,weilded not by outsiders
but by the majority of people
from amongst us.
War to all
War to reason
War has exchange
War has peace
Goal to connect
Reason on war
Reason on locality
Reason for will
Reason for humanity
Goal to please
Please my reason
Please my fault
Please this idea
Please this show
Goal to all

oh much of what we know, do and see
has to do with our birth locality
you won’t know how to shuck corn in any way
unless born in Nebraska, Illinois or Ioway
Born in a forest, we are not awed by a tree
which could make your heart leap in New York City
Midwesterners could not ride well in a subway
unless you could teach them city skills in one lone day
oh much of what we know, do and see
has to do with our birth locality
we might be hicks, but we do well in sticks
whereas city slickers would be confused by our tricks.
SUM OF ALL POSSIBLE
A TWIST OF TIME
Quantum, a direct window into the heart of Reality
More of a philosophy than a rigorous morality
Electron fired through Double-slit experiment
Physicists and mathematicians make each other queasy in continuity
Sum of all ripple amplitudes in gravity
Twist time as an imaginary-number (i2 = -1) to trick congeniality
Feynman path integral entanglement
Our Reality is a sum of all possible locality
Timeless quantum leap sought immortality
Scientists throw Swiss-cheese space-time into hospitality
Mirror mirror on the wall, what is the fairest one of all?
wormholes, doughnuts, topology flighting for identity
All roads lead to one melody
Cope with teetering tower of infinity
Quantum quantum in the field, who is the spookiest one of all?
Einstein general relativity, Schrodinger cat’s vitality
Quantum, a direct window into the heart of Reality
More of a philosophy than a rigorous morality
Dying black holes predicament
Physicists and mathematicians sum up random walks in brutality
The town lost its street maps,
new plots of land appeared, houses were built
where just yesterday there had been none.
Her world seemed relocated,
changed, as if it had been redrawn.
They had not shared their likes or interests
they had not even shared an equitable life,
and at times had pawned and reclaimed each other,
negotiations and currency
always a part of an unwritten deal.
Now she understood how landscapes can change
minds see from their own windows
through different lenses.
She recalled with late regret
that each of them had not surrendered,
they coexisted in the same place
but a locality riddled with mirages,
scenes they mind-painted
with unseeing eyes.
FORM OF ABSOLUTES
ideas of temptation
within
boundaries
by
the defiant
&
breaking rules
of
conceptual art
with
a degree of withholding
& interpretation
of dreams
to transcend
beyond
issues of locality
&cultural specificities
conflicted
by egotism,&
narcissism
strengths &
vulnerabilities
in
duality
reflected in
the character of
interior life
confronted
by
bizarre
expectations
& absurdity
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
Quantum Non-Locality or Inseparability
When a lady physicist became an environmentalist
Everything in my intellectual life touched your life
A mug may have more uses and lives than a mug
Two mugs may not have to clatter or clash to touch
Because Quantum Physics knows "The Butterfly Effect."
When you laugh, we all laugh with you ( despite masks)!
In John 17, Jesus said "My Father and I are One"
Then went on to urge us all to be One with them
God did not create all He did, to remain aloof, but for Communion
NOTE:
Communion also means "deep fellowship, sharing."
Looking out today on my locality
so many changes not for the better
everything moves ao fast and loose
all casual as nothing kept by the letter
Dressware like nothing as before
once in the past all dressed class
but now torn jeans is the norm
look in shock you just want to pass
Remember the good times of yesteryear
that generation standards held high
all very smart no matter the event
no respect for all, question why?
As one looks over the mountains
you see clouds hiding the very top
just like today, modern life outlook
one wants to shout, no more, stop!
Standards just don't exist anymore
freedom is the cue that goes overboard
nothing is barred all are let loose
one day pay the price we can't afford
(I live in southwest Scotland, comparing to the times I grew up in the 60/70s and the present situation today.)
A coalminer by trade Norman Cornish*
in his forties achieved his artistic wish
Like Lowry, at the end of his working day
locals&locality depicted in his own stylised way

The tightening grip of the pandemic
Stifled the livelihood of many
With the daily wagers losing jobs
Mere survival was at stake.
A benevolent NGO opened an outlet
In our locality to provide daily
Food and provisions free
To the needy and the destitute.
Every morning scores of people
Stood in long tortuous line
Under the scorching summer sun
Until the shelves were empty.
In one such morning as usual
The line was moving slow
When someone proclaimed
Lockdown would start from midnight.
People broke the orderly line
Rushed in panic toward the food bank
Soon its shutters were pulled down
So pandemonium didn’t turn to scuffle.

Everything you watch on your computer or TV,
everyone you communicate with electronically,
every movement you make, to or at any locality,
are all being monitored, recorded and archived by the powers that be,
all in the name of national and international security,
but that is not the true reality,
regarding this blatant violation of our personal privacy.
With all of this personal information Anybody,
can be set up to appear as someone they would never be.
This power is in the hands of a few, not the many,
and power always corrupts inevitably,
but absolute power always corrupts absolutely,
at least that is what history has always taught me.
