Penelope Alecknavage

Penelope Alecknavage nee perskin whose death aye assay
to comprehend, this son of the late Harriet Harris - 
   November thirteenth 2016 marked her eighty first birthday
if she still lived these last eleven years - instead met crossway
where grim reaper awaited - though my mum sought to delay
futility to accept Pyrrhic outcome - homage pep rally
   thru poetry n essay
writing, and finding cadence of words 
   helps me (with powder milk biscuits) 
   gather courageous foray
   and means to grapple with demise 
   of a loved one, and hence my gray
matter sifts thru childhoods' end, 
   where remembrance of hooray
amidst claque of chattering aunts, cousins, and uncles
   the fuzzy interplay
of Penny racing at dog speed across lawn of family home
   cordoned off via a jackstay
looms in forefront of my mind, 
   vulnerable to grief most people sad - me, oh kay,
reckons cessation of life = equalizer of sorts
   when significant person without breath doth lay
Tom foolery deft hands of motley crue prestidigitation 
   playing game versus sobbing as corpse 
   driven to graveside viz motorway,
where belief at such stark catastrophe - nay
numbness pervades next of kin survivors
   especially when passing occurs pre-holiday,
yet no matter whence one departs 
   bobbing along River Styx to unreachable quay
mourning iz broken with nary sunny and Cher full ray
to warm earth, wind and fire - seeking soul asylum, 
   trying to blink away ill logic cheap trick re: acceptance, 
   but inxs of tears for fears begs scene 2b screenplay
   not hard rocking coldplay accursed reality
   terminal illness ushers helplessness cuz part of ourselves 
   agonizingly rent asunder, which psychic tearaway 
far exceeds any physical pain, and will underlay
the immediate future, which bodes hollow 
   with the sounds of silence
   despite informing musicians or veejay
to lighten moody blue - 
   boot invariably bono fide, green day, 
   Lady gaga emitting beat,
   per the human league (plus the culture club 
   of heart felt village people affiliated with goo goo doll    
   traversing into nirvana) 
   creates clangorous discordant ringing 
   increasing nostalgia for loved one lost before yesterday!

Premium Member MEMORABLE LETTERS

They were written years ago
Being young than
What it felt like being young
Full is aspirations and being curious
As for the years don’t ask me when?
I was dating full of promise
I was in love
It was love with the affiliated heart, endure and attraction head on
Words wrote out directly the sincere heart
Romantic start
Young you know
Love being ready, set and go
Those letters added up over the years and they are in a stack
It’s amazing I can even keep track
Reading them over and over, and never tire
That love is still in me that won’t expire
The letters were my share with care being like flying doves to always think of
Love me forever
Always memorable and reflecting back for all times.

Chamber Maid For Cremation

Intrigued about cremation,
I sought GOOGLE to assuage curiosity
significant questions answered
clicking the following website
https://www.funeralwise.com/plan/
cremation/cremation-process/

though summarizing article
some oven death defying act,
yet summarization satisfactorily completed,
thus herewith briefly describes
kickstarting, mystifying, pulverizing...
tantalizing, yielding, enterprising, lasting,

yelping, holding, surviving dearly departed
1. deceased identified
2. official cremation authorized
affiliated with deceased
3. lifeless body prepared
4. medical devices removed

5. jewelry recovered
6. corpse secured
into burnable cremation receptacle

to retort i.e. cremation chamber

between 1400 degrees -
1800 degrees Fahrenheit

11. remains ground into ashes
12. once process completed
remains secured within urn
13. family representative entrusted
with ashes.

Burnt offerings distributed
ideally according to stated
wishes of beloved,
whose remembrance sustained

as tears expended
necessary to mourn
eventually sorrow lessened,
photographs visited
after crushing grief decreased.

Premium Member Election Fraud Questions

If there was no election fraud: 
Then why so much determination to stop discussion about it?
If it is one big lie, are they calling all the Americans who testified liars?
Those who testified after signing sworn affidavits?
Even with those being brave enough to do so with death threats?
If it is so much of a lie, then why aren’t they in jail?
For that is the consequence for lying after signing the affidavit
They are not to blame for their testimony restricted to state legislatures,
Instead of being allowed into the courts, where it should be presented
Why didn’t the main stream media cover these hearings in detail?
To me, it doesn’t matter what side you are on or affiliated with
This is a federal election with proven evidence, numbers and facts,
Truly revealed in hours of testimony from credible witnesses
I would like to believe that anyone would want this fairly reviewed
It is shocking such serious matters are ignored and discounted
After all, it is our votes involved in the outcome, regardless of the result
To think that fairness in something like this goes ignored, is appalling

*We all have a right to ask these questions

Premium Member Kind of Reasonable Explanation

Do angels walk amongst us, to be honest I really don’t know 
     My answers may seem rhetorical, for what life tends to throw 
    Could well be our imagination, reaching out tendrils with clasps
    Preventing approaching damnation, attempting one final grasp

    Strange intervention can occur, when life’s staring into the void
    Could it merely be coincidence, or vague influences redeployed 
     Inexplicable yet tangible, transcending all logical explanation
    Might some forces of nature step in, to try avert utter ruination 

     This is no conspiracy theory, or narrative about personal hurt
     Doesn’t matter if you believe, penning this for what it’s worth 
      I’m not a self righteous person, neither practice any religion
     Still mysterious events, have manifestly altered my decisions 

      Where do these anomalies come from, I cannot figure it out 
      Haphazard random chaos, or designed for moments of doubt 
      Despite this, I remain reluctant, to place all my trust in faith 
     Intelligence is the apex and scourge, driving that inner debate

      So how about, ‘spiritual but not affiliated’, sounds like a plan
      Being agnostic means, never to dismiss anything out of hand 
      Whatever’s underpinning reality, God or quantum mechanics 
     My gut feeling, angels of shape and form, do walk amongst us.

Premium Member Collecting Kindred Spirits


I collect kindred spirits . . . 
        friends who become like family
people congenial and compatible
           honest, trustworthy, compassionate
   people akin with me in many ways
          bound and amalgamated in thinking
affiliated, unified in most things
   we are stuck like glue . . . 
        think and feel things, emotional
though, at times have different viewpoints
    which we each respect
          we love the same things  
                                     birds, fauna, walking, nature
     gardening, art, music, hearty debates, writing
                     and talking over coffee for hours
                  and thus we are forever 
        kindred spirits . .

Facilitating the Facility

Facilitating The Facility

Solid structures should stay outside where they belong
With a firm facility of understanding occupational standards
In their simplicity of design
Edifices don’t build themselves in wildernesses 
No one does
It’s not civilized
Loud noises must be nurtured in the city
To appreciate the sacrifice   
The road to success is always under construction
Edifices have to rise above it all 
Iron buildings need to breathe in rust
By starting from the outside in
And stand alone in the metropolis    
Or else they don’t
Utilized to work in their basic functionality
Buildings take on the life of corporations, homes and offices
Certain to house nobility in the structure of their intent
To stand forever with or without rent
They need not speak
Unless they’re spoken to
Being affiliated with architects and engineers
Gives them a certain air of prominence and prestige  
Sky scrapers rise with lofty names
Towering in affluence fills their halls with purpose
Facilitating the facility is under way
They rise with loud noises and voices to the sky

Omen

One says that when the sun becomes a moon 
the moon turns into the stars, and when the stars 
descend on the earth they become dewdrops, 

and by the time when a pair of birds come 
and sit on a treetop where the dews sojourn, 
the flowers will bloom in the expanse of hither field 
and the top of yonder hill.

Although, as one says, there is a tree standing by the river of time 
that grew from the dews the fallen stars laid; there is a pair of birds soaring above the summit of mountain that countless suns piled up high in order to reach the top of sky; there is a plain that many moons gathered and became an expanse where ends do not meet; no where can the flower bloom be found in the vast space.

Nonetheless, for the river must ceaselessly move along, though 
a passing time may leave affection in the cove where behind the water stands still for a while, it was washed away by the surfs and vanished under footsteps came with the wind in the heart of a never affiliated beloved. For a sorrowful time has been destined not to bear a bloom, the sun of the day, the moon of the night, and the stars of the dark, fade away as a flower that never has been borne, in the heart of a never existed beloved.

Effective Yet Unexpected

11/14/16



To be honest across this Earth's soils
Conflict and turmoil 
That dates way back
Far before spacecrafts, state maps
Or being able to make cash

Opportunity don't waste that
Take a chance
Get on that A.S.A.P.
Before it goes down the drain fast



A long forgotten stash sat

By an abandoned hatchback

With broken and cracked glass

Cults and rituals, one of which is a black mass

Test conducted with lab rats

Some ships at a half-mast

I'm not affiliated with Aflac
 
Or Nasdaq

On social media, so much sad crap

And backlash


Like a toy dog some just want to yap yap

Even though there softer than a flap jack


Better watch yourself and bag back

Before we really see who has the last laugh


Went out in the wilderness to backpack

With a knapsack

Set up camp at an open grass flat (patch)




In specific things time and or money was invested
As far as recollected

The objective
Changed perspective

And all method within a second

During a time that was festive
It turned out to be effective
Yet unexpected


Certain areas and locations infested
Individual organisms infected

Presidential Inauguration 2017 - Poetic Screed - Part1

Fast as an atomic banshee, he roils sacred halls 
of White House clutches levers with brass balls
American powers remain unrestrained when he calls
Armada to exorcise imagine aery dragons, 
   he inarticulately falls
non-communicative, faux eruditely generative, 
   and heartily galls
toward this introspective kickstarter male, 
   and most likely others he appalls.
-------------------------------------------------
My inner guru hankers to share voice 
   amidst increasing din 
and clamors in reaction to insidious machinations fin
hushed via Machiavellian offal prince, 
   who unleashes clout with Cheshire grin
unconcerned about population, chaste, 
   from their wells Fargo wing. 
*     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *             
   Most every citizen banker, and kin
stared down vis a vis fierce-some intimations 
   catapult escalating, spin
laughing at rigged voting outlook 
   gratefully inflicts populace with monstrous win 
   doomsday soldiers - 
   art of the deal book not writ by said urchin.
-------------------------------------------------
Though regularly affiliated with top notch 
kudos to virtual soapbox platform 
   re: all poetry to express Bing averse 
toward ill feted Barron settlement 
   of United States government tossed like scotch
on thar hocks, thus an uneasy angst 
   also invisibly grabs me by the crotch
cuz das Trump power monger, 
   I fear rubric of democracy, he will botch!
-------------------------------------------------
This poem alternately titled - 
   harbinger of political debacle wolf find antipode 
where toxic brew at crack of 12 a.m. 
 January 20th 2017 doth bode  
doctored pregnant swollen tidal anarchistic military toad
deeds sheepishly shape into battalions 
   in tandem - fraternal order of police erode
Civilian protesters unite with ordinary citizen bankers 
 crowdsource sing metallic ca clash to goad
