Gangly Longfellow Thoreau and Thru

Gangly longfellow thoreau and thru...

Well stocked with
wordsworth lx numbered yesteryear
born as predicted by
bubba's zayda longtime seer.

While in utero premier
ultrasound detected
smudged embryonic fetus
whoosh auditory proto language unclear
surprisingly enough sounded analogous

to murmuring... huh yepper sonneteer
vaguely resembling, yes
William Shakespeare
though burbling, gurgling,
requiring absolute zero noise to hear
kickstarting, reverently warbling

difficult, diligent, distinct yawping
nonetheless reckoned as dérailleur,
viz swiftly tailored
inchoate anatomical gear
hurriedly styled pièce de résistance
yours truly born with silver dictionary

in his mouth, I f¨ç°ˆ˜© swear
unusual biological phenomena
drew pediatricians far and near,
which (no surprise) determined
English major as academic career
matriculating upon immediately

exiting birth canal whip smart derriere
i.e. (ŧ§), spread like wildfire, where
media hounds blitzkrieg stunned to stare
not at me but bare
naked lady in no mood...ready to tear
away sophisticated audiovisual equipment

understandably on verge going nuclear
furious, (this told me later in life as here
say), she quickly (albeit groggy)
curtly demanded fair
remuneration, and milked
infant me as cash cow profiteer,

her eyes aglitter signaling,
shining, seeing... gold
let whoever sneer
earning money with initial gasp of air
freeing parents to live
within lap of luxury

world wide web sightseer,
yours truly received
royal carpet treatment everywhere
crisscrossing the globe
accoutered with most
expensive designer babywear

obliviously prattling, jabbering, gabbling...
invariably drawing throngs
across entire northern hemisphere
broadcast as podcast across atmosphere
all across the universe hoodwinking
convincing many of "FAKE" poetic story
concoction courtesy adept fictioneer.


Premium Member Inches Apart and An Honest Heart

They stood inches apart 
Both having a racing heart 
Gazing into the eyes 
With absolutely no reason for lies 

They met weeks ago 
Very busy and on the go 
A date with a drink 
In front of a romantic slippery frozen ice rink 

Now they were inches apart 
With a beating heart 
Mature tasks
Challenged them to wear symbolic masks

Putting aside this reality façade 
For a moment worthy of a cry 
Choosing a setting filled with floral arrangements 
The two enjoyed the lunchtime flowerlike engagement

Having no words 
Listening to the chirping from the birds 
‘I do’ she said 
“I guess now we can wed” 
Was the remark he did say 
Knowing soon there be a wedding day 

Bonded together 
Realizing life’s weather was getting better 
He put a ring on her finger 
While in the background an audio played words breathed by a singer 
Nervously she shook 
While he was on his knees she proudly stood 

Inches apart 
Remembering the honest that beat in the heart 
She returned to the collegiate academic look 
Freeing him to return to the business suit to manipulate the investment books
 
But when the moon light glowed 
Honesty returned to the young girl’s beau 
Who she met during an innocent supportive act 
That changed his pinstripe tact
 
It was a lucky chance 
Choreographed as a lifelong dance 
When she bumped into the well-grounded gold 
Making her emotional guard fold 

Inches apart 
A church audience listened to the romance in the beating heart 
Watching them commit to this start 
He in black she in white 
A decision based on true love that was right

Success

Success is not just being 
the best, 
it's been so unassisted in a 
test.
Success is not been 
someone else, 
but by making yourself a 
role model to everyone else.
Success is not just 
academic stability, 
it's the mandate to succeed 
in every good ability.
Success is not just getting 
there first, 
it's sometimes needed to 
carry the rest.
Success isn't ' i know and 
you don't ', 
neither is it ' you know and 
i don't '.
It always says ' what can 
we learn from eachother ', 
or ' lets strive to be the best 
together '.
Success is not  measured 
by fames or fortunes, 
but by the amendment of 
the past misfortunes.
Success has nothing to do 
with your age, 
neither is it acheived by 
lust or rage.
Success is not having all 
you want, 
but by you appericiating, 
cos that will count.
Success is set in motion by 
great men, 
who have nothing to do wit 
bad omen.
success doen't smile and 
say ' i have all ', 
neither does it laugh and 
say ' you don't have at all '.
Success isn't in knowledge 
or wealth, 
but it's in justice and divine 
health.
Success is acheived by 
great readers, 
who end up being 
exceptional leaders.
Success is not a feeling of 
superity, 
but by a unique character 
and humility.
Coupled with hardwork and 
determination, 
in other to acheive all 
dreams and visions.
Success doesn't mean 
financial prosperity, 
but it means heavenly 
security.
To get tn the house of 
greatness, 
one must walk through the 
road of success.
Successful people believe 
right from d day of their 
birth, 
and in that which can't be 
destroyed by moth or death.

KEEPING ANOTHER POEM BELOW AS REMEMBRANCE. Posted today: May 15,2022  12.47pm 

 Thank You So Much

Valuable were your work, support and service
Rendered at this institution for many years
You were one of the assets of our department
You worked hard for all teachers and students

Outstanding was how you came through
With love and sincerity in all you do
In our unit, notable were your contributions
Trustworthy in all your efforts and actions

Time came to share your services to others
A greater opportunity to bloom like flower
More chances to reach further goals
For yourself and for mission-vision of our school

Thank you so much for everything
Good luck and best wishes for a new beginning
Let’s still see each other around the campus
Sharing smiles of friendship as bright as a rose.

Premium Member DREAM DESTINATION

    My life to follow the statement below 
  ‘ Dream and dream till your dreams are not fulfilled ‘
    EXACT DREAM sprouted from childhood inspired by Dad.

      To study and being analytic to acquire knowledge
      was Dad’s prime advice with parallel instruction
     to be truthful, honest and righteous, not to be religious.
    That was my exact dream and tried to honour 
      Universal Moral Values throughout my life.

      I’m Mathematician and taught my subject with devotion.
      In later life, I turned Professional Writer, Author and Talker.
      Delivered several Talks in Radio, seminar, clubs etc,
      choosing mainly scientific and academic topics.

       One part of my Dream occupied Literature and Cultural activities.
       I explored the world of Fiction and Poetry.
       I fulfilled this branch of dream taking part in Music,
       writing scripts, directing with  stage performance.
        I know, Recreations play vital role in Human Psychology.
         
      In last phase of my life to conclude, my EXACT DREAM 
      still exists with this advice ‘Fulfil your DREAMS , acting Righteous,
      and honouring Universal Moral Values of Life. ‘


Premium Member highwire

If I crash-out of this med-school thing, I hope it’s a gentle spiral.

Upon a trembling wire I make my stand,
a Flying Wallenda, knowing no other life.

A deep and quiet moonlight, well flatters the mind's labour. 
So scholars' efforts are commonly crowned in sleepless industry.

Coincidentally, those same treacherous moonbeams
dubble-dip as lover's ambiance.

Those that study flesh, may find their own poorly mastered,
as it conspires - in want - and distracts with fancies ill-timed 
- as if desires were somehow exam-unaware.

Ambition ties me, with strings, to ever-urgent examinations,
while desire, that merry thief, giddily unlaces me.

Between love and ambition, I dance a careful step, 
half-architect and half-willing fool.

Should I fall - as other highwire walkers have,
let it be said that I fell with blushing grace
- not by neglect, or overzealous reach, 
but by the tragedy of earnest and impatient love.

Exams start in 2 hours. It’s hell week. Wish me luck!

Premium Member bf Sunday

I woke up this autumn Sunday morning
with papier-mâché clouds performing
like a ticker-tape parade from left to right
a strong breeze doodling fall leaves to flight
The birds are just gliding, no flapping in sight.

Today’s a free day, a don’t mess with me day.
I’ve no homework, or assignments
it’s like I’ve escaped from confinement
even my coffee tasted like creamy freedom.

What do you do when you don’t have to do
anything? Why, I could write a play, like Mozart,
or an opera, like Shakespeare - if I were THAT smart -
but don’t those sound like academic effort to you?

I want to hold hands in the park and promenade,
Peter loves strolling the flower markets by the Seine,  
a gelato at Amorino after lunch at the Saint James cafe,
and the rain or shine street art at Rue Saint-Rustique.

Isn’t boyfriend-time the best way to spend a Sunday?

The Loosing Game

Did you just look upon my chubby face?
And thought let’s give her a chase
She is just a fragile flower in a vase
Let’s give her a taste of being waste 
Just don’t try to execute your plans in haste 
Cause you haven't seen me in my natural state.


Did you just see my five foot frame?
And thought let us frame her for shame   
Oh! She is excellent at the loosing game
Well if you don't change your ways
You better start counting your days
Alas! You haven't known me always.


Don't you dare wake the monster in me again!
My neurons are fighting like gangster in my brain
Many a heroes I have slain
I will blow you like the husk of the grain
You better take your hands of my lane 
Or you will be fighting the devil in vain
 
You have seen only the smile I have worn
Not the heart festered in stone
The moment I was thrown into school zone
Cannot tether two letters together, my brain torn
I was scorned, could hear people moan
But at last adorned the academic throne

Oh soon they took shots at my looks
And bullied me with their mean hooks
They were just entries in my joke books
Soon bested them at their own game
But regretted the girl I became
And gave up that lame game


My decision might go on a hiatus
So beware of your current status

Don't you dare wake the monster in me again?
My neurons are fighting like gangster in my brain
Many a heroes I have slain
I will blow you like the husk of the grain
You better take your hands of my lane 
Or you will be fighting the devil in vain
Cause I am practically insane

Clone-God, Part Ii

...Now human cloning is always borderline,
but it this case all agreed to it, fast,
a chance to disprove a major religion,
what academic would pass up that?
A good many of them seemed rather glad,
but they all agreed to do this in secret,
they had to be sure, and were not there yet.

They took the DNA, and a donor egg,
in the artificial womb they both went,
a new machine the size of a van,
that, ironically, many thought heaven-sent,
since it had brought abortion to an end.
A device that had saved so many lives…
now used to disprove all religion’s ‘lies.’

About a year in the child looked like
a small boy, somewhere around six years old.
one day Pete looked in, and felt uncertain,
had for a while, if the truth be told,
and said to Tom, who by now felt quite bold,
“I know you are smart, have lots of degrees,
but have you really thought what this might unleash?”

“It will final show superstitious folk
that no deity will ever be real,”
said Tom as if talking to a child,
“And that with facts and reason they must deal,
and that the world does not care how they feel.”
Pete sighed and said, “How have you gone so far
without knowing people, what we really are?”

Tom just scowled at the janitor’s words,
then he snapped back,”Aren’t you on the clock?”
He didn’t say more, didn’t get him fired,
as a worker he was solid as a rock,
but like most men had a head like a block.
Tom refocused on the task before him,
another year passed, they prepared to go in.

Thanks to advances in technology,
growth in DNA they could accelerate,
which means in two years Tom’s people had grown
what took a normal person two decades,
though they could not, in this way, educate.
So what came out would be a large baby,
and not some living god, all people would see.

They were planning a big reveal next week,
but for Tom that just wasn’t soon enough,
he’d put so much effort in this project,
put in long hours, done the media stuff,
he wanted to see the results so much…
He went in late one night while Pete cleaned the room,
and boldly opened the Artificial Womb...

CONCLUDES IN PART III.

Insecurities

What actually is a insecurity?"
Something that general public regard as an impurity.
Such as having too much body hair,
Or having a complexion that isn't fair,
Or having a big nose,
Or wearing some non-trendy clothes.

But all this isn't limited to physical appearance,
It is also about belonging to a community treated with indifference.
It is about not being social enough
Not being good in academic stuff,

Society demands us to be picture-perfect,
Completely obedient and always correct.
And we corny humans just want to belong somewhere,
We require some love and some care,
So we give everything we are,
Just to learn are wishes aren't rare and nothing bizarre. 

Well, insecurities might not be cool,
And those stares can be really cruel,
But lets not try so hard,
What is really beautiful is also odd
The only disgusting thing in this world are the standard who call us unwanted and ugly,
Cause we are the one who decide, and every part of us is beautiful and lovely
