open a blind eye ~ and see you're being duped by those using AI

sniff out those taking credit for cheating ~ real poets they're defeating

a concept I can't accept ~ from people whose poetry is inept

sometimes it's really difficult to prove ~ but an issue to behoove

call them out if it matters ~ don't serve them trophies on silver platters

if you couldn't care less ~ it's no wonder poetry soup is a mess

disheartening to say the least ~ is it possible to slay the beast

it's happening, there's no doubt ~ they're being given far too much clout

this message may be falling on deaf ears ~ if so, then I give up... cheers!

“The sea is an underwater museum still awaiting its visitors.” – Phillip Diole
______________________________________________________________

In the endless expanse of the ocean's domain.
Calm, circumfluous crystal collides coiling terrain.
A bed of iridescence behests the view.
Turquoise riddles, azure feral, and true

Humpback whales waltz on the horizon stage.
Their majestic demeanor, the ocean's sage
Waves akin to a shroud, coral reefs below.
In a cerulean ebony, enigma utopia to know

Tidal waves waltz ripples in a twirling thunder.
Foams that fizz and fatuous horses canter under
An aphrodisiac shore, paradisal and grand.
Where quicksilver spume kisses saffron sands.

Barefoot on the shore, spate, and pelagic breeze
The brine in the breeze, a savor of the seas
Seaside pearls and garrulous nautical dreams
A seamount allure, where kelpies do gleam.

Waves wreck as cymbals, water splashes spray.
Unplumbed bedrocks where sunfish play.
Blase naiads and abysmal gaunt cries
In the abyss, the embrace of diastrophism rises.

Swell of the abyss, corrugated, and red.
Balboa sails in pits due to intricate coastal spread.
Nebulous littoral shores, worldly and true
In Japan splurge, a seabed quells the view.
 
With a caper and a queen, the gulf turns alive.
Natal seaboard, where nexus coldness does thrive.
Beyond the gloom, where ocean waves are silver,
Moonlight pulsates, spritzes, and yelps as a river.
 
Whipping and splashing, an aqua symphony
The ocean's orchestra in idyllic harmony
From abyss to surface, the music does swell.
A symphony of water, where stories do tell.
 
In the moonlit dusk, waves waltz and sway.
Their silvery, pellucid shimmer steers the way.
With every pulsating and splashing sound.
Ocean's placate melodies and quiddity abound.

Abyssal symphony is a seraphic sight.
Where nature's cynosure beauty bears flight.
Waves, akin to dancers, gracefully behoove.
In a rhythmic squirm, their sapidity grooves.
 
Susurrus slipshod secrets of the steep
Splashes of euphoria, sojourn, and sweep
A symphony of splendor, a chorus of grace
The ocean's melody is in every embrace.

Premium Member Avadhuta Gita Chapter 4 verse 1

“There is neither invitation nor casting off; how can there be flowers, leaves, meditations, and recitation of sacred texts, and how can there be worship of Siva, which is identity and difference?”


Contemplate: where can omnipresence move?
Thus, for God there is neither space nor time,
self-aware consciousness as does behoove
vibrant Self radiating bliss beat’s chime.

Waves are not separate from the ocean,
so likewise all that is, is God alone,
be it the void or worlds in motion,
the rainbow’s hues and each musical tone.

Life forms everywhere are breathed by God’s will,
merely seeming differentiated,
this wisdom recognised when we are still,
whence we shine as pure Self, liberated. 

Transcending all forms, concepts and labels
we shine as Self spoken of in fables.

The Passover Section

With springtime now upon us,
If your town has lots of Jews,
The supermarket has some foods
You might have need to use.

For Passover’s approaching
And the holiday demands 
No bread nor pasta be consumed;
Thus, stores have made their plans.

A special section’s filled with
All the substitutes we need
To serve at Seder time, just like
The ancient texts decreed.

There’s matzoh meal, gefilte fish 
And macaroons and cakes
And all of the ingredients
For anyone who bakes.

This Passover array depends
On neighborhood and store,
So often pickings might be slim 
While other shops have more.

For Jewish folk with markets
With no matzoh, I’d behoove
You to tell the owners how you feel
Or do what I’d do - move!

Granny's Weather Station

Granny said there’s signs from nature we’ll get,
and it would behoove us not to forget.

You’d best listen when she threw out her words,
because she knew the ways of critters and birds.

She knew how to read the nature she’d see,
more accurate than some guy on TV.

She could tell if it was fixin’ to rain,
if we’d have hard winter or early spring.

Things like how an Ozark persimmon’s seed,
will tell if it’s a snow shovel you’ll need.

When autumn’s squirrels up and disappear,
then old man winter will be coming near.

If the air’s heavy and you’re feeling low,
more than likely a storm’s going to show.

But if the air is crisp and full of light,
then you better be out hunting tonight.

When there’s a misty ring around the moon,
tulips and pimpernel close up their bloom.

If the flowers have cranked up their smell,
rain is on the way is what these foretell.
 
If a rainbow rises high in the east,
then that means the chance of rain is the least.

But when it shows its face low in the west,
that’s when any chance of rain is the best.

See a Red sky at night, sailors delight,
red sky of morning, sailor take warning.

If the sheep are gathered in a huddle,
then you’ll be stepping into a puddle.

When leaves fall early winter will be mild,
when leaves fall later winter will be wild.

If leaves wither but don’t fall to the ground,
an extra cold winter will hang around.

If roosters start molting before the hen,
can look for a winter that’s mild and thin.

If the hen starts molting before the cock,
then prepare for a freeze hard as a rock.

Lone Ranger

Lone Ranger


Three days are gone, alone in my cabin
Not a word is written in these rooms of silence
Writing in a vacuum does not behoove me.
I need an input someone with thoughts of their own.
Reflecting my own thoughts in the mirror
Are unbreakable cycles like a troll under a bridge
That can no longer see the difference between a goat or sheep.
Starve it does not being able to catch rainbow trouts
As laziness seeps into his bones.
Sore is my head from trying to burst out of this encircling
Of the stale, fearful of the new, I must read more,
Work by writers I don’t care for, but has something 
Different to say or a new twist of words. I’ve tended to
Read too much, Hemingway.

Could our verity be any unique?
Whenever the twenty-first century is antique,
Links are the best way to deal with everything
When even the pencils will betide self-replicating,

The whole would be vastly improved
And, the fortune of the rich would be approved
Would remove those in requisite thoroughly
There will be no grimness when there is no infirmity.

Autos would be entirely electrical
Fuel and diesel would behoove skeptical,
News and journals will be made ready on digital
People react to move visions by a flash signal. 

Parcels won't be uttered for a long time
Besides, astonishingly swiftly and in prime
On voice order, pencils and pens would work
Baring, scribble down all that we would rework.

Everybody will include a robot in their house
That will perform anything, including catching a mouse
It will cook meals and neaten the home, with no screams
Additionally, conceive all your expectations and dreams.

The earth will deem even as sole leader
A man with odd propensity and backbone neater
We might glean the option to dwell out in the cosmos
And we'd stray out on rockets to shop for blue camos.

How slightly does the world treat spot our sacred history?
Purvey future posterity with a canvas to our glittery
Sober-mindedness is the best way to crumble in terror
Indeed, pens will be automatized to abject horror.

The Raven Has Fled- Part Two

The closer you get
The more they seem to move
As their shapes become giant
And your hopes then behoove
Now anchored offshore
With the dinghy in place
You can see them more clearly
Each shape and each face
Like monolithic Gods
They reign high on the hill
Looking down on who enter
With a warning that’s shrill
But where are the people
The Island is bare
Just giant stone carvings 
That linger and stare
As you land on the beach
The ground starts to shake
And from deep in your heart
The primordial aches
The mountain then trembles
All paths become closed
With the thunder a warning
Any trespasser knows
As you run to the dinghy
Its been stolen and gone
And your ship is now missing
In its place just a song
Calling out in those words
That you already know….

“A price not paid dearly
     is only for show”

You turn back to the mountain
And in an explosion of light
You’re lifted up to the heavens
Spun around in a fright
Then shooting straight downward
Toward the mountain below
With force you are planted
Along monument row
And now that you’ve joined them
All questions abide
The distance and separation
In heaven collide….

“Can I leave, am I destined
   to be left here entombed ?”

And in language you recognize 
You hear back so soon
From those pillars immortal
Voices start to be heard
Your welcome now total
Reborn in their words

“You can leave if you want to
  the choice is now yours
  but this mountain goes 
  with you
  all places defer
  you’ve reached 
  through the mystery
  you’ve passed your own test
  the tonic’s within you
   —the raven has fled”

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2013)
