Premium Member Emerald Isle

sitting upon the rocks
 oval bleached souls
with stone hearts
watching the waves rise 
thoughts drift away
 into another world
obscured 
by cryptic currents

 on the crest you sit
 on the tempest
long-haired temptress
enticing with
 your mermaid vice
 crashing waves carpet
 galloping onto sands
  the white steed crashes
as sea lime backslides
 
salt upon this earth 
 breathe wild and free
  I hear the seagulls cry
 echoing off cliffs where
  white skull prey lays
  one moment smiling
then washed away

 I found my Shangri-La 
amidst black tidal pools
 of misted mirrored pearl
 drops that fall then stop
 breathing in sea air
  leaving a little love
 upon the golden sands
a sailors burial ground
 in the emerald Isle

Premium Member My Favorite Junkyard

A collaboration with Kim van Breda - honored Kim

I've tossed some dreams
       into corners
where they sit rusting -
dissected spare thoughts
for a restomod old body
smartly attired with
polished imperfections

swum life's streams
through currents
undulating promises
the color of sandstone
desert miles, turreted
rhododendrons, watered
slips off the extreme

thrown mortified moments
over the fence where
sophistication hid ,then
disguised what still is

numerous rooms,
dust gilded mirrors
flaking walls and trunk
decadence, borderline
decaying memories
of dazed indifference
     garnering

no hitters pitched
on dream fields
where egos never bled
and superman never died;
pink tutu skirts wrapped
in the dust of past bright
alighted reminiscence
suspended in stage fright

pirates that held back
on black eye patches,
standing up against
their sick bullying;
tightfisted, shaken
clenched teeth hidden,
beneath  awkward smiles

the nights wore down my
   introspectiveness
while quicksand roses
reluctantly blushed...still
this virtual room will hold
all that my conscience
will forgive, casting
away offending lies
diffusing  damaged
junk yard favorites

Premium Member Have You Ever

Have you ever smelled fresh lilacs
after blooming in the spring
Have you heard the song of a morning dove
while gently swaying on a swing
Have you ever watched a bald eagle soar
majestically in the sky
Have you noticed the shapes of the clouds
as they slowly rolled on by
Have you ever watched a sunset
that made the tears fall from your eyes
Have you ever smiled at the moon
then suddenly wondered why
This beauty which surrounds us
is amazing in every way
From the tulip to the daffodil
I hope you can see it everyday

Why is my father always angry

Little darling, thy fada wears a garland of frowns,
The breda must explain their jokes to him across the night,
Worry devours his heart,his wallet emptied of light,
Fallen sistrins and soaring debts weigh him down.

Parasitic friends,the firewater that hauls him down,
Your mada' open relationship haunts him without end
You poor black girl,his paternal duty no hand can mend,
So little darling,mockingbird sings sagacity' gentle crown.

'' Motivate him'',cries nightingale,'' seek angels that heel,
Set calm and clear,boundaries firm and the rule of right, 
Recall the days when Rastafari made his soul bright ,
Technicalized guidance cuts through despair and anger's steel.
Sistren and fada ,simmer down a little bit,sooth the strife,
And read The Holy Piby for blessings in holy Jah life''


Glossary of Useful non pompous English terms:

Fada-father
breda-brother
sistrins -sisters
mada--mother
Rastafari--the best religion
technicalized-professional
Holy Piby-Bible of Rastafari

You have heard about the birds                                                                                                                           Someone also told you about the bees
You never had much time for flowers and trees                                                                                                            But let's pause a minute and talk 'Man To Man'.

I don't have much, but it just might help you a lot.                                                                                                      Unless asked to, stop trying to always 'fix it'.

Learn to listen more, look less, and love softly.                                                                                                    Learn to  'buy it', 'do it',  and not forget to 'say it'.
Close the cave man shop, and learn how to mop and shop.                                                                                                             It may be hard for you to cry; but somehow, you have to try.

There's a lot I am learning that could help you more;
but a little here and there is better than too much at once.

Poetry Souper Heroes: the Sequel

"Poetry Souper Heroes:  The Sequel"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

As we last saw, Anita Sharma was coming in
What's that Melody Thomas, I had to ask my friend
It's called Falling Raindrops, Kim Patrice Nunez is the singer
By German composer Kim van Breda, rumor has it she's a swinger
She lives on Lin Lane in the house where there is a Mystic Rose
Tom was a country boy, but Laura?  Urbaniak I suppose
Becca Teagan walked by as we heard the sound of a gun
She then fell to the ground, oh my, what has Cherl Dunn
Soon after, officers Ian Guyler and Connie Marcum Wong pull up as the scene diminishes
All we could tell them was these are simply the Remnants Of Some Silly Experiences
She lost her job as a teacher because she told the kids, on every Paige, Reed for yourself
But when the principal fired her, who would have thought she would have taken her last breath
This was all too disturbing, Andrea Dietrich said let's go to the dance
But when we got inside all it said was Charmaine Chircop vs Casarah Nance
I said where is the dance, she said welcome to the mud fight
There's a family tag team handicap main event, Terry and Chante Reeves vs Sophiya Kamil tonight
I said will this degradation of women ever cease
And that's when Robert Stoner Jr. told Stella, "Fullard is slang for obese"
That's when Kelly Deschler came in, armed to the t, and said the violence is about to increase....

to be continued....
