Premium Member The Faces of Man
"The Faces of Man"



The faces of Man

pontificating with two fingers

consuming greed for 
want of everything
they meld into the
curves of their crooked bends

Premium Member Why Multicultural Education Matters
The Twelfth Principle

Cooperatively adopt
and responsively adapt
for creolizing acclimation,
best climate and landscape health practices.

The U.S. today
reweaves two points of national nurturing departure,
both taught in schools
and history books
and multicultural sciences
and scents
and sounds.

LeftBrain dominance,
here in post-millennial enculturing lands,
remembers...

Premium Member In My Father's Hands
A piece of waiting clay adapts
To a sculptor's finite stroke,
Infants heads were shaped by hands
Of older thinking folk.

Eight times a molder in his chair,
A newborn child held near.
Tiny heads-so softly stroked,
By my father's hands so...

Traditional Poetry and a New Age Poetry
Many a poet I know a fool
acting like they know-it-all
many a poet I know a tool
acting like "Mr Poet-all" 
unknowingly showing me 
their knowledge of poetry
has boundaries surrounding
ideas rebounding around 
their impounded grounds 
only seeing...

Embark On the Journey Out of the Dark
Writings moving through me with the Holy Spirit,
Inviting exquisite artistry like Hebrew so I write it automatically,
Transmitted and sent with rugged style of construed truth, 
To induce questions within the golden age of the awakening...

This violin is so small but carries like the heaviest of weights,
these cascades of shapes and shades are typically a waste,
and their traces are replaced by the weight the levies take,
you brace for the impact...

Slips into the subconscious realm and trips a few fuses in slumber

I keep trying to rhyme but the rhythm keeps losing the message.
Next I try to count 5-7-5, but the puzzle of syllables denies the center I want to surround.

Canada Jays

Four seasons ‘round Canada jays are found,
Perched in tree branches, safe and sound;
Resting after flying throughout the North,
In the Canadian boreal forests.
Heard and not seen unless it’s their intention,
To disturb the silence, making known...

Your Personality Is Your Most Powerful Tool
When you have an image of yourself inside your head
that image shouldn’t be an image that you have to protect 
because if it needs protecting it’s an image to forget 
probably protecting an aspect perfected...

Quest For God
From the beginning, people have asked themselves,
how God came into being or how God creates from nothing?

Premium Member So Hated and Undesiderable
He came from humble folks,
an adoptive father
and a virgin mother;
many didn't believe He was the Christ,
and still the parables, written in the Gospels,

Our race against extinction.
We all come from the same cradle.
Though we think ourselves mature.
Our childish and petty ways are truly obscene.
We are products of our environment, fine tuned
to fit the scene. Some are black with...
