Long Abstract thought Poems

MILES OF BLUE
By
Tony Adamo (Nov.25,’05)

I walked into a little jazz dive off 125th and Lex.
A cold wind blew me through the swingin’ doors.
Beer, peanuts, dark smoke and the smell of times gone by laid me...

A poet enters a private sanctuary,
A sacred place where the imagination
Dwells with a mélange of emotions
Conceived by aesthetic beauty,
Often divine and esoteric in nature;
That comprehensive longing to
Express through common language
That which is so vitally uncommon....

Uniqually Yours


Einstein said the definition of insanity
is doing the same thing repeatedly
and expecting different results.
I really love how people run around
quoting this without the understanding
that repetition is the road to
advancement. That doing something over
and over...

On a wicked night

In solemn silence finds its beckoning call

No shoulder to cry as in its deafening blow;

On a wicked night proned to fright

Within darkened portals released in edged fragments

Having silenced to usurp its beckoning...

An ideal renaissance man
A polymath
Did you know a Mona Lisa
Leonardo 
You have a beautiful mind

They said the Earth was the center
You said the Sun
On your death bed you published truth
Copernicus 
You have a beautiful mind

You...

I've not yet risen from my bed
Chose to write poems instead
The stranger contests I attempt
All N/As I can pre-empt

Why do I try and top the chart
To what avail, why risk my heart
I'm clearly hooked on...

I must be mad...I wonder
if ants get tired as the weight of a 
crumb bears down upon them...
for survival.

I wonder if dogs think...I wonder
if houses weary of their occupants.

I must be mad...I wonder
if houses weary...

Are you a fan of fur friend liberation,
Across our great lucky nation?
If only we had intercommunication,
Between every species on Earth,
We'd understand each other's worth,
Do you believe in what we're taught,
That animals have no abstract thought?
Indeed,...

The view
 looking out of the window facing inland 
I see a petrol station painted green and across
 the station a shabby supermarket with 
an incompetent staff yet an excellent place to go
if you need...

Rebirth of an anxiety,
of an abstract thought,
takes on the impossible of something
left between false and true.
Out of spite some body was betraying the life.

A bodiless lie becomes an imposter
beats the truth and walks away. 
You,dumbfounded,discover...

Alone, aloof, atop a hill there lived
A sage whose renowned insight I sought
To gain. Trekking, trudging I soon arrived
Exhausted-- Price to pay for abstract thought.
Upon my reaching wisdom's only door
I ventured--dared- an undertaking knock.
"Whose forceful...

Absolut the heaven is where I am
For index of words are my abstract thought
This little being distant of me
I run to be sane
Can we ever have something that tells us to pause
Just enough to reclaim

I lie amidst a pride of dandelions. 
Odoriferous breaths overwhelm me. 
Above, a sea with white wispy phantoms 
Silently, adrift, like lost ships at sea.
I close my eyes but still see everything.  
For what's...

I can go farther than the bar-tailed godwit.
I have more capacity for abstract thought than the IBM Roadrunner.
In stature I’ve been compared to a redwood.
And yet, a single tear eyed look from one of my...
