Long Astutely Poems

A languorous morning 

Nestled in between warm duvets, a goose feathered pillow or two…a luxury 
A striped kitten, a beautiful shade of grey, on a windowsill grey too; purring, gentle breaths, authenticity so appealing
A glass...

Thru an opened bedroom (albeit screened) window...

Accessible twenty four hours a day

fifty two weeks a year.

Spring 2022 Curtain call at
Highland Manor Apartments unit b44
framing Mother Nature nook
ever changing scene unfolds
analogous to storybook.

Emotional tension fills the air...
 Lights and laughter everywhere

 A fiesta audience waits eagerly for a night of passion.

 The dance of Spain and a sensual dancer
 The Andalusian Gypsy dancer
 El baile flamenco tonight…Ole!

Excuse me!
my son's bus driver exclaimed
as I walked away from his wheelchair ramp this morning.
I had not finished putting his safety harness on.

Excuse me,
without exclaiming,
means please cut me some slack,
I need to break into your...

Students enjoy a question
often wisely asked
especially of teachers
parents
and preachers
who seem not too often recall
curious younger learners,
deep listeners

If I must choose
which to trust,
your words without compliant
healthy resilient action,
OR your less mindful actions
not supported by your invocations

What
to my LeftBrain appears
but Santa CapitalistClaus
and his eight domesticated
and monetized octaves
of neuro-sensory reindeer

To my LeftBrain
appears to not be
much of a healthcare giving
Creation ReCreation Story,
neither astutely ecological
nor gracefully polyculturing 

Feels to my sacred Earth Right MindBody

Before a pagan shrine, a witch reveals the gods’ desire
And sees a cryptic vision cloaked in her enormous pyre:

The blazes have the wit of lightning born of rain and fire
And magically filled with deep, eternal...

When thinking of indigenous wisdom,
I feel more globally open,
more universally connected,
hoping to hear with multicultural listening ears
and astutely perceptive eyes
deductively retouching
inductively felt nonviolent communications
with all natural/spiritual dipolar
bicamerally balanced EarthTribes
present
immigrations from Earth's past
emigrations toward co-passioned future

Sitting by the window at the Njogu-ini Hotel
I see my new people stream by
I can see them but they can’t see me
The window is a one way mirror 

So, this is how they look like...

Pr'y'
Purely perfect Priya sister
Shining like a star aster
Being her birthday today
I wish come what may
Dainty delightful dashing doll
Divine debonair damsel small
Stars extoll her mien
How sweet it’s they mean..!
Soon she scales progress new
Taking from my verse...

Our values should be written
on posters with a believer's conviction
to incite a protest and end it
with peaceful intentions;
if others don't agree, ignore them.

Our values are the image
of ourselves, of what we proclaim to be
without compromising...

Is Your Refrigerator Running

Late at night while sleeping or in a trance
Contemplating philosophic thoughts about the universe
Children called on the phone and postulated
An age old question about refrigeration
They shouted loud into the receiver
“Is your refrigerator...

This what would happen in an alternate Universe
Many things would be different and oceans dispersed.
There's no such thing as hunger, water or air.
Because everyone's a vapor without any care.

Seems that with nearly every purchase nowadays for a fee,
Sales representatives want to sell you an extended warranty!

But the warranty that I was offered...

You caught my eye as I passed by
Astutely dressed dark suit and tie
Hair well kept eyes of green
Tall and svelte broad and lean

You filled my dreams with love and lust
A visionary quest I behold to...

Plans are all I made as life crept by,
By all accounts crafted and clever,
Strategic endeavours in my minds eye
That would furnish the future forever.

Plans were all I formed as love drove past,
Looking forlorn as it...

Absolutely, and astutely;
Positively, most assuredly.

Yes exactly, matter of factly;
Not despite’ly, simply rightly.

Days blue, or sunny and brightly, 
Stars in the black and beautiful nightly.

Quaint and cutely, 
Bold and astutely,

Not to be rude’ly, Just Absolutely.

Absolutely, play...

The usual ashen sky
cursed the frozen road
because nothing ever changed
on that long ride home
The car skipped over the icy patches
as it so astutely had done before
there were no tepid words or half smiles
just a rattle...
