Premium Member Atmospheric Pressure


                 As firm shield protecting vulnerable Earth,
                Atmosphere spreads, surrounds: At most worth
               for diversity of life just to circulate.
             Atmospheric pressure always controls climate.

           Presence of Atmosphere needed for home and hearth.
            Living beings breathe in atmosphere after birth.
           Atmospheric pressure changes its attitude,
            goes on decreasing with increase in altitude.

             Force exerted per unit area by air
             defines Atmospheric Pressure to declare.
             Weather changes day by day and in each season.
             Variation of Air-Pressure is the reason.   

               Rise and fall in Atmospheric pressure
            will predict and provide exact answer
            of storms, rains, tsunami or cyclone to forecast
               probable sunny days or might clouds burst?

Nameless Child

She was just a nameless child,
chasing herself through borrowed faces
Looking for little pieces of home
in unfamiliar places

Some passed hope from hand to hand,
some passed fear the same
Funny how two fires can look alike, 
still burn a different flame

She carried stories on her back,
some she’d keep, some she’d lose
Growing ain’t the roads you’re shown,
it’s learning what to choose

The loud all swore they knew her heart 
the quiet rarely cared
Yet every soul she wandered through
left something with her there

She found tomorrow in foreign smiles,
and sorrow in familiar eyes
Turns out truth don’t wear one face,
it’s scattered in disguise

Maybe that’s what growing is,
not proving someone right,
but finding her little miracle area…
In those soul-searching lessons
gave her the courage
to name herself…

Pressing

It’s one of those days when my stomach is pressing against my chest, and my lungs is playing tick tock toe with its own breath. My adrenaline is running a hundred miles marathon per hour and my arteries are bouncing up and down the trampoline from the sound of the heavy metal pounding in the background.

This closely knitted community with all its clarity is composing its own rhythm but you cannot tell from whence it begins. The story about the crop and the young maiden wearing the new frock with the billiard balls positioned on the table waiting at the corner to make the first shot. I still have this strange feeling inside that makes me want to move but there is nothing substantial to choose from so I wait for destiny to propel me along.

The area around me is cluttered but I can still find a breathing space and water to wet my tired face. The threads on the tire are screaming, and my shoe laces are reeling, my dinner plate is waiting at the gate and the wood cutter is composing a new symphony with logs and aluminum pots. 
All fears are boiled out of me and water is boiling at three hundred degree. There is always a story to tell even if you are trapped in the darkest hell.

The days are getting longer and my patience is getting shorter. I am surrounding with walls and trees and a big water tank leaning against the wall and if you stand against it, it will make you feel small.

Two concrete structures and a board house trapped inside its own middle are waiting on top of the hill for the drill, and the bushes around makes the board house look like a clown a long night gown.

The sky is turning blue and the crickets are composing symphony number two. The sound is celebrating with the sky and the trees are waving goodbye. I am pressing towards the finishing.

Basement, House, Attic and Roof

3/21/17


A stagnant
Fragment
Beside a magnet

Found placed in an outdated
Basement
Sitting adjacent
To something ancient
And makeshift

An area with stuffy air
Was here then there
Going up the stairs
Some of which needed repairs
Went past several chairs
And a kitchen table with a bowl full of pears
Then was put into a box with wares
Left there with little thought or care
 In a box that was square

Was out, and now inside the house
In a room directly across from a couch
There was no company, not even a mouse
Just sat there collecting dust, in large amounts

Years later, was cleaned with disinfectant
And inspected
Passed the test, and was still kept with other treasures and relics
Anything else that was defective
Went where the trash was to be collected
As the light rays shone, other objects became silhouetted

Then got carried up toward the attic
Surrounded by other items, some of which were ceramics
The rest was mostly fabrics and plastic
Here life was less than climactic

Eventually broke through the roof
Faster than a dog breaking loose
Near and far from any spruce and newts
Intended to always stay in touch with ancestors and roots
While in pursuit of the absolute truth
By looking for more than proof

----- 
The Christmas Armistice of 1914:
World War I on the Western Front had settled into stalemate. On Christmas Eve, soldiers from both sides spontaneously began singing carols - mainly "Silent Night" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful", in German, English, and Latin - which led to calls for a temporary truce. In many areas, the fighting stopped, and soldiers ventured out of their trenches.  
This area between became a place of exchange of food, cigarettes, buttons, and even family photographs. Some accounts do mention soldiers kicking a ball around in "no man's land".  
In the words of the 12th Doctor: "It never happened again, any war, anywhere. But for one day, one Christmas, a very long time ago, everyone just put down their weapons and started to sing".

Premium Member Wandering the Road

Wandering the roads.  It has me under a spell even at this juncture in my life.
Even when spiked brambles
 scrape my eyelids or those tender foot soles are  being  twisted by tooth-like stones.  Quaint and angular they cluster mischievously among 
green shoots that litter every footpath. 
They lie in wait, in ambush for the absent-minded unsuspecting venturer.
It goes with the territory for this seasoned  footman of the road.
The labyrinthine landscapes are house and home to the spiral lanes and clover clad hills rife in my area.
Their rustic heritage now sacrifice to the 
orphanage of a malleable environment
Crop farmers obsessed with harvest bounty.
Restless developer pushing  limits of an urban jungle.  Fellow traveller in league with those fugitives from the cockpit.  
The pressure cooker of modern life.  Town habitant with split loyalties who clings to tumults of the city but hankers after rural haunts of yore.
Culprits one and all.
A lair from the hubbub. 
Dwellings of the strangest  kind huddle together like dots in a matrix separated only by a minuscule space.
Their charm not yet eroded by intrusions of the steel plant genus.
Brick and mortar athletes of homes in a jiffy.
The more alluring aspects of tradition have been fostered and preserved.
Among these are the shortcuts or bypasses of a different more sustainable engagement
Sequestered passages that shave miles off perennial ramblers with a penchant for straying off course. 
Saviours of the clueless hitchhiker whose load saps his or her every energy.
One’s eye becomes a lense to all these things hidden or supposedly hidden.
Optic sensor to those trails just slightly out of focus.
Those tucked away secret spots  beloved of local wiseacres. 
They festoon far flung countrysides at random.  Here there and everywhere.

All the Little Pieces

"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces" 
Brought me to a cemetery that had many creases,
I walked the graveyard of my mind last night,
I saw many people sleeping tight,	
I saw the ones that made me smile,
I saw the ones who were part of my biggest trials,
I saw the failures of my past,
I saw the sorrow of a childhood that went to fast,
I saw the liars who stole from me,
I saw the heathens, who lived lives that were empty,
I saw the chameleons trying to blend in with the bareness 
and vulnerability of winter trees,
I saw all those who listened 
But silenced my innocent pleas,
I saw the aisles of fragmentation,
Broken dreams and manipulation,
I saw the wrinkles and the tares,
From having a father who was never there,
But then I saw amazing grace,
Shimmering under a mercy tree,
I realized that all of those stones,
Had made me what I was called to be,
Each plot was responsible for a certain quality in me,
Allowing me to be able to identify
With others drastically,
I saw the days of evil tightly bolted down,
I saw clarity, which was once lost
Now completely found,
I saw the page turn 
As the past had been burned,
I saw Gods presence filling up 
Every area where I yearned,
I saw a radiant light pointing far ahead,
Directing me out of my mind 
Resurrecting all that was dead,
I saw those doors to that cemetery close very tight
As I continued towards what was extremely bright,
I felt an unusual grin,
Overwhelm me from within
I saw an extraordinary flower,
Come forth with might and power.

You Don'T Wanna Know

Here I can come,

lets salute the sun,

lets make a brutish cocktail for a run,

lets crash a party that wasn't fun.


And then! ! ! ! ! 

Ok by then you know there is no playin',

only mind praying,
and rotation of claiming,

because girls are entangling,

estranging-
to their embankment,
to the water that flows strangely,

from out of town-
oh its amazing! ! ! 

Lets teach them Bangledesh
from the Bay Area-ness,

that comes around in a mess,

drunk and sore from all of their bets.

Ball on time-

when you come
it isn't the crime,

some people ball all the time! 

They don't need our time-
our wishes
or our finds...

They are tourists out of their binds...

They're bosses that don't know of lives-

...that need love,

and are falling from their climbs.

They Disturbed the Audeince

They put their concerns on the
large container in the corner
it was enough for me to tease their imagations
of it's content.
It had a music notes on the side
and made mention of
awareness
it

one side sported a scence of
a red clayed area were
a road
a lnoly road went throuht it
it had a lid were
the handles were
a perfect circle shalaced
with a sign that warned against meddlers
it had a curse
that order the elements of earth
to aile
and cause the meddler great harm
the other side on the floor too
had a picturest scence
where
it smiled upon the ways of
people loving people.
when they opened the box
a deep sounding bassy 
song began to play
and inside was
ah.........
tune in next week folk
for the conclusion of
What in The Damn Box!

The contents of the box were thought out before
the show end so they used the "Tune in angle'
to give the people time enough to find something
interesting enough
to be timley to the pictures and content.
They choose a Large shere, it turned people off.
One was heard saying" and when the hinges of the
 lid squeaked and the
music began playing I knew this was a joke!"

MinceMeat Chronicles RagMag Interview Double Bogey

I reed-member the time when
we were down ; we were suspended by
the promoter in the South Side League
this guy owned both a Hockey teaam, a Roller Derby Team
and he was a Wrestling Promoter.
I got suspended and couldn't
get a job due to him owning every team or company in the area.
I gotta call from "Begging Idiouce" Beazel Grantchorea Promoter in the Provdence area.
He had  The Territorial Wrestling Organization. The Territories Championship
was an equvlant of the Worlds title.
The guy who held the title
was a well built athlete, a wrestling talent he was a draw on all fronts
he could really, really out wrest most guys in pro wrestling.
People loved this guy. I got a bout with him.
I beat him in 12 minutes. The crowd went completly silent and began booing. I knew what was going on
and began a high taling manuver to get out of the areana. I snached the title and headed to the dressing room: I heard an giantic BOO!
I took my check and got into the limo and left the building.
Those hockey jerks
had lead the boo's
they were in the audience,
I vowed to get them, I needed to find a partner.
I stayed away from the arena, until I could get someone to watch out for my interest. I called: Rockstar's and Crooners trying to get one of there bodyguards to
and mangement to look out for my interest. Those Hockey Jerks had us out numbered but I knew that a musicail angle could get over here. No one beleived me I didn't mind the boo's but I'm still human you know. I got "Crooner" Hambone Notatez to be my manger! and Dizzy Dillpepper
to be my tagteam partner. "Dizzy" coould really wrestle, and could out wrest guy's better then him. He could get a win outta a lossing situation. I liked that quality. That night in the Bronx we wanted to wrestle: but the jerks wanted to brawl we, gave the croowd a great show!
