Premium Member The Tempered Lily

There are so many creatures in the animal world,  both tame and wild, that survived for centuries.
  Plants and trees are enclosed in the same picture where the strong and bold have reigned supreme.
  When Science classified  the existence of different identities and characteristics of various earthlings, the terms "flora" and "fauna" were coined.  Plus "biota" in distinct regions and "biome" or ecosystem where all earthlings come and interact together.
  The scientific names of land and water animals including the plant and tree names are all enclosed in the same capsule wherein humans are also named distinctly and characterized.
  So what's the connection of the "tempered lily" on this page?... As humans, we can be like Victoria Amazonica under any weather condition or situation.  Use your imagination if you still believe in fantasy and wyverns!
  Long time ago, a group of  small plants lived on land. And almost all of them only survived on dirt or soiled grounds.  When wild animals roamed and conquered the earth and all plants never grew as trees for being consumed rapidly, land spirits or sprites of the ground thought of moving some plants from dirt to waters to protect and preserve the everlasting glory and beauty of nature.  Land spirits or invisible ghosts are dependent on life's physical forms, that's why they cannot let the material structures around them to disappear. Only because of the modern Science and technology  that the peaceful world of plants on soiled grounds are destroyed and vanished due to quarrying and human exploration.  Displaced land spirits before they were totally driven away by time had the opportunity to shift or immigrate from dirt to waters.  The giant water lily (Victoria Amazonica/Regia) that fascinated the human eyes is one plant that land spirits strengthened and tempered to prove to the World that there is strength in softness and resilience in chaos.  No wonder, these lilies that you will find in the area of Yucuruchi  and waters of Guyana are being carefully monitored and maintained by humans themselves.  Believe it or not, these giant lilies are the safety abodes of the the same host spirits of the old natural world that the present time is still keeping!
  Sound weird,  isn't it?

Premium Member Vaeloria Chapter 3 - Monarch of the Golden Strand

Within the shadow of the crystal spires,
Where plains are painted by the frozen fires,
The field-logs track a monument of mass:
The heavy monarch of the golden grass.
Magnatropis vitreus is cataloged and known,
A living fusion of the quartz and bone,
A mountain walking on a six-fold frame
Of polished obsidian that no tool can tame.
Its segmented chassis, wide and heavily set,
Is wrapped in a translucent exoskeleton net,
A diamond-hard carapace, shimmering clear,
Through which its strange organs and vitals appear.
Its blood is a coolant of sapphire sheen,
Pulsing through valves that are easily seen,
While its eyes are bright clusters of compound gems—
Red ruby lenses on low-slung stems—
That do not track distance or predatory flight,
But map out the currents of deep quantum light,
Perceiving the drift of the space-time strand
As it sweeps through the grass of the perfect land.
Yet this titan of armor and crystalline skin
Is not built for malice, for war, or to win;
Its purpose is vital, a biological gear
That stabilizes the local biosphere.
Along its ribbed flanks, where the plates interlock,
Are rows of deep pores carved like vents in a rock.
It breathes in the nitrogen mists of the night,
The volatile vapors that choke out the light,
And filters the toxins through chambers of stone
Deep in the vaults of its vitreous bone.
With every slow breath of its massive domain,
It breathes out sweet oxygen over the plain,
A massive, organic, atmospheric pump,
Clearing the air with each heavy-set thump.
As it browses the plains where the light-flora grows,
It crushes the minerals left by the snows,
Its six grinding hooves tilling silicate sand
To scatter the nutrients across the ground,
A peaceful leviathan, quiet and grand,
It is the gardener-beast as it moves around.

Overdosing Rather Binge Reading Thesaurus

Overdosing (rather binge reading) thesaurus...

Imagine if ye will
earlier one blustery February sixteenth
two thousand twenty one,
yours truly experienced atypical thrill
perusing pages of heavily laden word book
marking where I leave off reading
courtesy no frills inked quill
(sold to yours truly courtesy original 
big bird on his deathbed)

plus jotting down page number
so mundane effort to marry me interest
with me lingua franca (English language)
neither void nor nill
aforementioned laborious literary task
persevered despite forgoing
eating and sleeping might kill
(reading every last word)

hoop ping diligence improves vocabulary
making me maxillary stronger
no matter chronological years
considered smidgen whipping
over third scored Sam Hill
Earth orbitz around nearest star
traveling at (pun one mach two)

warp speed amidst escadrille
whereby accompanying aircraft
eventually zooms into Brazil
housing disproportionate Amazon
rainforest biome encompassing
6.7 million square kilometers and shared
by eight countries.

Even before (the square root of 3844)
years ago exiting the womb
Logophile mine self anointed
nom figuratively feathery de plume
no matter mine cranium
ready to explode ka-boom
I continue to parlay mental energy

like some garden variety harum scarum
and jam additional minutiae
(at thee expense not preserving sanity)
despite very limited (maximum) headroom
to decrease hydranencephaly
the whole hare brain scheme
rigged up with shunted
(think chutes and ladders) flume.

One definite lament
until death doth do me proud
constitutes deficient intelligence
genetically (father) endowed
imbibing cerebral thirst for knowledge
constitutes the lack of photographic memory
nsync with fifty plus shades of gray matter
ofttimes smoldering like dark storm cloud
to retain information I read aloud.

Quite an exciting 
(seat of pants) life I did asseverate
less to impress any anonymous reader,
whose interest I did pique and captivate
versus (verses crafted) more so to delineate
quirky passion (couched as poetic endeavor)
inexplicable how to formulate
though no justification be given
hoop fully only kudos to generate.

A Sestina on old growth forests

Old growth forests are a sight to behold             
 Humans wiping them out makes me angry
 Politicos who support this can go to Hell             
 Angel Oaks,giant cedars and Redwoods              
 These are some of my favoured trees,  I say                   
 General Sherman -a most ancient tree                 

Angel Oak boughs are coiled ,I love this tree
All the ancient trees ;divine  to behold
Lay my ashes neath an Oak tree  I say
Clear cut forrests they made me quite angry
Giant cedars ,grand -behold the Redwoods
 Those who wreck  ancient forests go to Hell

Ancient forests wrecked I'm angry as Hell
The huge red oak is one hell of a tree
Other beatific trees are the Redwoods
Angrboda ‘s tree -lovely to behold
Cutting these trees down-I'm bloody angry
Politicos should pay a price: I say

Old growth forests are a biome,  I say
Those who destroy them are stupid as Hell
 Lay waist to old growth forests?-I'm angry
 I sat still under a huge cedar tree
 Hike thru these forests a sight to behold
I wonder what critters live in Redwoods

I wish I can visit the grand Redwoods
 I'm wheelchair bound  do not know what to say
Walked thru a small old growth woods nice to behold
The woods were denuded of old trees,oh Hell
  Old growth Cedars are one hell of a tree
 Most of the old growth gone makes me angry

Logging roads in BC grave ,I’m angry 
Love to muse beneath a pair of Redwoods
What type of vibe will I get from that tree?
 Protest the harm of old growth woods; I say
 If you don’t  help out ,I'm angry as Hell
 Clear  cut woods from a plane -shock to behold

Envoi:
Burn  old growth woods angry I say
 Stop logging Redwoods ,no,oh Hell
  An Angel oak tree I want to behold

Dream

Dream
I took your hands into mine with a gaze
You smiled and murmured, 
“I will not go, and why hold so tight?”
I let you go loose with a cautious look.
Though happy and blissful jiffy
Scared was I of the evading scene.
Will the time come grabbing you from me?
But stayed you till the end with me.
Rang the alarm eclipsing my soul
Dropping me to the world without you.
Realized did I, the biome of mine,
All alone but just with your memories.
Piercing is my soul, with a sharp dagger
Driving I am in the palanquin of grieve.
Beckons  me the responsibilities you bestowed
Beholds and harnesses to this secluded world.
Bewildered I am to transcend;
Elated I am to live in the old bygones
The treasure troves of memories of you and us 
That heaven have endued on us

Premium Member The Fiesta of Cherry Blossom

Let’s fly to the celestial fiesta of the cherry blossom,
In the North Eastern Region of Shillong, named, “The Scotland of the East,
The abode of the cloud,” in the lush mesa of the magnetic Meghalaya!
The wheezing Pine forest of the whispering waterfalls in the Khasi hills,
is bustling with the nature’s fairytale of pink, white and ivory!

As far as the eyes can see, the rolling tableland is ringing, ridden by the radiant petals of cherries!
Neither Japan, nor Paris, a mere remote region  of Indian plateau,
Glowing in nature’s sublime glory of pellucid picturesque pinks!
Nicknamed, Prunus Cerasoides, the cherry blossoms,
a delightful boon of Himalayas,
are blooming profusely in the magical
verdant highland of the East Khasi hills!

The November is rippling  with
moonlit music, plethora of flamboyant folk dances,
pageants, stalls to cater to the globetrotters’ penchant for the ethnicity
of the fur-flung region’s tribes’ cuisines, wine, arts and cryptic crafts!
Such bedazzling is the serenity of the panaromic platonic plateau,
As folks of the vicinity, are traversing despite the rampant pandemic,
to glimpse the shangri la of the richest biome of the floral magical lane!
The resonating frolic of the chirping and twittering from the cheerful cherry bushes
are teeming with the twirling bliss, intoning,
in winters whistling whiff!

A nature’s bounty, a pamphlet of picturesque hamlets’ terrains of aromatic sensuous purity!
Blessed are they, who have witnessed the once in a lifetime scene of crystal clean roaring rivulets, murmuring brooks, the ravishing orchids, quirky root bridges, aesthetic lakes and rills, scented wild flowers, encompassing the enigmatic cherry blooms of the mystic land of the majestic mountains!

An euphoria to have a ride amidst the clouds of the misty moorlands,
gliding languidly to take the signature of the mementos of the moments;
to kiss the plateau of wild orchids, flowering Cherries and sacred woodlands of those Khasi hills,
crackling with the sprouting, cherry blossom festival of the far East!

My Beautiful Africa

By Parizo Van Thulare 

I was born endless miles from the town 
Where tales are told about the king in his crown 
Where plates are treated same glass
So fragile respect is of the erything
So beautiful My land is stunning 

I speak in languages of types 
Pepperd with traditions 
And dishes of all kinds 
African made with  the greatest taste 
African grilled with inspiring  tales

Where I come from mountains sing the sweetest
Rivers play the romance 
The Baobabs are cutiest 
It is the land of its own kind 

My Africa ,my quest 
I come far away from the mountains of Drankesnberg
They Roar with beauty .
Near Lies the tunnel of Straitjdom Lepelle flows peacefully 
Full of acquatics living blissfully 

The words it sings 
speak for the trees 
It breezes the fume of sighs 
With a flavor of purple ice 
Down to Mapunghubjwe I rise 

My Africa , my best 
The history of the greatest is unleashed 
It calls upon the genius to come and aphrend 
It calls upon the future to come and learn 

My Africa ,my pride 
I haven't done yet 
Get something to write 
Still I 'm here to rhyme.

Talk about the bothers of Kruger 
Worldwide are known 
 Worldwide they are shown 

The falls of Victoria
The Valleys of Zambezi 
The desert of Kalahari 
Lobola or mahadi 
This is my Africa

See the cars in colors pouring 
See nations in rainbows queuing
To see only the biggest 
 To witness the wrestlemania of the nature 
Ohh! what a wonderful adventure 

My Africa is my biome 
The land of dreams and hopes
All thanks to the almighty for such  smashing home
I'm so proud to be an African 
I'm so down with my heritage

Premium Member Call Of The Wild

See the way the sunlight splashes across my face
Serenaded by swaying leaves in a beautiful place
I yearn for the mornings when dew makes leaves glisten
And as nature sings and dances I simply listen

A lush forest forms a canopy overhead
Where birds perch and make their bed
In roaring rivers fish make their home
Twisting and twining to the heart of the biome

Here I forget the city's hustle
As I watch forest squirrels bustle
Deep within the forest comes the call of the wild
Filling me with gleeful joy like that of a child

...From my gilded concrete cage
It seems so real it fills me with rage
Knowing that what I yearn for is surreal
Because it was truly never real

This sprawling urban jungle is not where I should be
So cramped and crowded it's impossible to be free
Perhaps that's why my heart is sick and I lost all hope
Chasing booze and bottles just to cope

When I close my eyes I can still see that pretty lie
But as soon as I open them I have to ask why
My soul yearns for a life that was never mine
I begin to wonder if I just want to whine

But tonight when I close my eyes
Whether ugly truths or pretty lies
Whether it's right or wrong
My heart knows where I belong

And again the sunlight splashes across my face
Serenaded by swaying leaves in a beautiful place
As tears begin to fall I cry like a child
Just wanting it to be true that call of the wild

Premium Member Interlocking Rueful Sky and Trapped Earth

Azure blue skies weep in rent glacial torrents,
iridescent earth sun trap poised  to garner sympathy,
dark red cloud’s indignant float might yet rumble,
toxic deluge drenches mudbank plot as toilers whine,
thunderstruck I gaze at wild indigo sea mist on brine-fleck shore  

Edge of seat terra firma species orange alert mere bluster,
grim altitude apocalypse for amber moon orb,
rampant shower pockmark with visual scar as trenchant plague,
vapour trail  from lachrymose horizon now a shrunken haze,
alarm bell’s doleful peal across an impact cratered expanse  once sumptuous mint green

Stream of gurgling silken brook upon reciprocal bright cadence,
otherworldly pine from volatile nebulae’s damp swathe,
vapid  biome acreage a gaunt reflection though surreal,
despite magenta stardust  twinkle whose infant  phase  corralled
by wayward drizzle

Hemisphere by half redolent of sombre devastation,
yet exotic visual  haunt is that vaunted shadow zone,
sweet maple leaf  ether bound refuge from monsoon rife,
pot of gold opal strewn paradise escape hatch,
from lesion blight  topsoil or open sore empyrean 

Purple leaf and bell pepper cascade swirling o'er panic stricken globe,
perfume clad hillock under hawk-eye squint,
denizens idyllic foster atmospheric canny urban vault,
they hobble gingerly on salmon pink stone bridge en route to harried terrain rescue

compass points to heart core

 

my precise compass points to innermost heart
         a microcosmic myrtle of macrocosm art
I journey inward this core, where lies my 
 Tree of Life ____         
        tasting amber resonance of Self’s sap 
 
it cradles spirit, now a blissed viburnum 
    spaceless space kisses, 
       olive is ocarina enchanting, 
                  enthralling, embracing 
earth and  heaven ~ discerning, 
                   lemon heathered ____a garden     

Core imbues form with ineffable frequencies           
           elusive is a holly terminal  
 spirit discerns tree’s essence, 
         agape agapanthus caped appears

belled garden knows 
                     own’s every oak throb 
    benevolent bonafide biome, 
pulsing life force 
  animating Being’s fluids 
                    in  pond stillness         
translucent lotus opens
                   sublime perfumed
 destination to heart core costs zilch 

                 no other station can compare !
