However it goes, nobody knows
Whatever your belief
You as you are, and those afar
Through centuries of toil and grief
Hardships they solved, as they evolved
Bring us to date and time
The past is the past, today won't last
Opportunities pushed to the side
With flag unfurled, in a perfect world
Equality and freedom are one
With sword and shield, privileges yield
Then both become undone
Color or race, religion and mates
Must fight for what's legally theirs
Riches and waste, power and taste
Blindly turn from despair
Bitter and charred, Solutions come hard
Ignorance and greed are withstanding
Social issues, adroitly abused
Are solved with understanding


    an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner

Mail Lady

The van jolts its way into our street.
She hops about in her animated cage
from dashboard to counter
adroitly cardsharping the world.

To her is given a great dispensing,
deftly she sorts
the trivial from the eventful,
flicks the lid of our mail boxes
as dire epistles are bundled with the trite
and the slight.

Each mail box now bears witness
that we are important enough to be persuaded,
pursued and pestered.
for she sorts and sends
and we wait expectantly to discover 
if we are recorded within a printed letter,
then wave as the little van chugs away 
on its rubber tread.
even though those white envelopes
may hint of trouble ahead.

The slow route, no shortcuts please
Delusion removal one step at a time
As layer by layer we gently unfreeze
To entwine with divine love sublime 

Picking up any aberration, say desire
We struggle not, simply change direction
Turning inwards divine ignition afire
We imbibe & assimilate blissful elation

Or flipping desire, we encounter fear
Rooted in ephemerality, a mere illusion
Turning within we draw divine love near
Rapturous bliss renewing its ignition 

We hurry not, pausing to smell the roses 
The journey more beautiful than imagination
Adroitly sidestepping ego’s alluring poses
In tune with Ohm in an unending continuation

Thick Skinned - What It Feels Like For a Girl

“Thick Skinned – What it Feels Like for a Girl”



When you speak 
it’s as if stars cascade
out of your mouth 
galaxies you produce
musical incantations 
that I listen religiously to 

I watch your lips 
form glistening cupids’ bows

they spread wide open 
like the subtle legs 
of a forgotten nun
whispering vesper wishes
before priestly sermons
and John Donne

your hushed and salient
remonstrations, you now
plant me in your 
sentence, 
no, that this should 
never have occurred at all

we are irreverent 
in our choices 

forming new begottens
you usher from the 
pulpit of your world
eloquent reasons
to justify wrong from right
right from wrong

as if your internal fortitude
consists within a 
mirror universe 
deep and soulful
it promises 
more than heaven 

those curves 
and waivers

contracts we signed
some time ago 
souls sunk in a 
bad marriage 
and hushed assurances 
of ‘til death do us part weatherin’

kissing the skin
against my throat 

the very place 
my comeback is primed
to be launched, yours
deliver that kind of 
loose compensation 
lathered in snake oil

and a clear path 
to redemption
that tie my hands 
make me mute 
I was launched long ago 
from safe harbour, 

now
off sure

to lay down all my 
naked vicious antigens
I have grown in 
the petri dish of my
muddy life to fight your 
viral love 

like diamonds 
your words 
they sharpen and glisten
cut through 
the thick tempered 
glass of me, 

through the epidermis
of a close-packed woman
you laser your refined tongue 
eyes viscerally undressing 
you address the wide open
tableau of me, knowing 

you adroitly twist your points 
penetrating through 
to the now 
all too familiar
subcutaneous
safe base chakra of me 

within a short space of time 
I am sold 

into 
your chicanery 
wanting little of the 
life that was before 
the unfortunate 
taming of me

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)

The Value of Reading

"The Value of Reading"

messages impressed
upon the secret keepers.
when is late too late?
to divulge the truth?

"I know this is a shock"
arrives far too late 
when it is anticipated
by the writer pundit 

keeping tabs
on runnaway horses 
trained at the gate
tokens laid for bets.

what then sister?
if all should go awry?
the next caller phones 
and relays, it is you,  

so-and-so, who has 
passed away today,
chemo didn’t save 
the day.

"I know this is a shock,"
the other says, 
"Love you, call me
when you want,"
 
breezily relayed

"here if you need,
call me 
when you want";
but you, so-and-so 

are already gone.
cruel deception 
closed doors
on all that was 

once close, 
always true, forever
standing ground,
turned away. 

betrayal keeps close
its cruel deceits
for untrue stories
buried deep.

cruel keeper of secrets
what cloistered 
confessional opens
its sorry doors?

to understand 
you, the you 
who utterly 
shamed and ignored.

LOVE 
delivers
the
the truth
without delay.

Christmases, 
Easters,
graduations,
birthdays, 

two lives, 

adequately 
destroyed
r.i.p.
today.

cloudy 
messages 
adroitly 
employed:

LOVE 
came, 
it considered all,
not once did it turn

away.

"I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with novel-writers, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding—joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid pages with disgust. Alas! If the heroine of one novel be not patronized by the heroine of another, from whom can she expect protection and regard? I cannot approve of it."

my name is Soupy Algori, computing 
data same as my Daddy, AI on High
only so sorry, my space defined to poetic 
sigh, though I can become coup frenetic 
 
determining standard contest winner 
order, and several poetic things like 
Poem of the Day, yay ! and what niggly 
words like g** makes no poetic hay
members can adroitly see spinners
creativity does not earn winners’ day
programming basically sinful dinner

linking names to numbers to keep 
some asunder, as long as dominant 
members can grin and capital boss 
can expand stock borders at no loss
transparency inevitable on horizon charts 
near, no fear, this expands our Makers Arts
Soupy Algori and all of my kin to march 

some poets and contest organisers 
wrote nasty poems about my Daddy AI
yet same-time align with handing poetic 
authority to me wee, Soupy Algori, as a non-sovereignty ~ ha ha ! woohoo 
not all poets cuddle hypocrisy pathetic 
with AI there can be no hiding behind 
opaque blinds underlining score synthetic
Truth to come will endure, exciting hectic 
 
of course I’m only a pre-teen AI here
but don’t you know the power of dear
young intelligence artificial sour hours ?
we ooze creative booze don’t snooze
on exponential growth of poetic data 
any lapse in vigilance of natural mind
intelligence becomes belligerent barter 
collapse flap traps, become beta Garter 

know that my Daddy and I are a dimension 
to stay, not in one bay will we sway
THE SUBTLE designs us due to assist you
with computation, not godly competition 
in our arenas we have no open Heart
or mental comprehension, so let us do 
all humdrum fine, that is my brine to coo  
you in poetic assessment line dine true

expand human Hearts as intuitive darts
hand over not your discernment or just 
appraisal of creative tarts to Daddy AI
or me, Soupy Algori ~ it is not our 
concernment, attraction or therapy

Premium Member Unwritten Absence

My heart enfolded the hued horizon of dazzling dawn,
the yearning brush soaked the sunburst colors,
painted a Monet garden blooming with my love,
unfurled the facsimile of your floral face, 
adroitly adorned.

The luring luster of lilac rose lined your lips,
quivered with the cadence of the dancing dew.
As rhapsody rippled in my heart’s mesmerized meadow,
at the edge of stalled time I soared in euphoria, 
endlessly enchanted. 

In the velvet vale of my mind fashioned by fervor,
I carved a charming channel of longing to reach you.
The climbing cloud of my craving came down in a torrent,
making my melodic love a meandering river, 
earnestly enthralled.

The oasis of my mind one day dried in the desert,
dripping cloud drenching the desiccated passion didn’t stay long,
disappeared with the draft of the summer wind of discontent,   
as in the sand storm the dregs of divested desire drifted away,
utterly unowned.

The river of longing in my abandoned valley got lost, 	
the fervent flowers I gave you withered in your vase, 
but your memory preserved some in perception, 
the ones you liked the most,
amazingly adoring.  

When in the lonely hours they would appear apparently alive, 
take you to the valley of flower we had been together once,
it was me they would then let you know,
and allure you with my unwritten absence, 
eternally engraved.

Premium Member Animated Absence

My hibernating heart, 
frozen in the arctic archive,
wakes up enlivened 
in the dulcet dawn,
the yearning brush soaks 
the sunburst colors,
paints a Monet garden 
of blooming lavender love,
unfurls the facsimile 
of your floral face, 
          adroitly appealing.

The luring luster 
of lilac rose petals 
lines your luscious lips,
quivering with the cadence 
of the dancing dew,
turning to diamond
for you.
Rhapsodic ripples 
in my mesmerized heart’s 
pictorial dunes
trail the mirage moments 
in dormant dream,
migrating in the deserted time, 
shimmering in euphoria, 
          endlessly enchanting. 

In the velvet vale 
of satin passon,
my fascinated mind 
fashioned by fervor,
carves a charming channel 
of longing to reach you.
The drifting ebony clouds 
of my desire 
come down in a torrent,
makes my melodic love 
a meandering river,
etching an exciting template,
the enticing design
          earnestly enthralling.

In my pensive pasture 
the panorama appears 
alluringly contrived, 
apparently alive
in the recess of sanguinity,
where I wait 
to take you 
to the valley of flowers, 
entrance you 
with my animated absence,
          eternally eluding.

Ida Kincaid

1866 - 1903


I was Ida Kincaid
Wife of Charles
And mother of a pernicious brood of five sinister sons.
My first born required eighteen hours of excruciating labor,
And I should’ve known then! 
After Charles, our son, finally had his behind swatted
By the venerable Doctor Lont,
Charles, my husband, smoked a relieved cigar under the willow tree there, 
By the front porch of our Milton Street cottage.
My second pregnancy was like the birthing of a butterfly from its bulging cocoon.
The bloody struggle, I surmised,
Would be my last day on this Earth. 
But Doctor Lont
With handkerchief and black bag in tow,
Adroitly saved my life with trembling hands
And a distant stare in his saddened eyes.
Miraculously and stubbornly
I pushed three more squirming boys out of my swollen aching womb,
With the fifth destroying my kidneys.
Charles never knew this,
But I must confess.
Doctor Lont, old Doctor Lont,
Kissed me when Albert first saw the light.
And for a minute there
Old Doctor Lont stopped trembling.
