These are the Open Arms
By Cherbo Geeplay
You woke me up when I was dead,
teaching the night stars wantonly
to obey the Atlantic; then slashed
my arteries in flight to Lake Piso,
humbling its boundaries, before
fusing them calmly to a...

Spring of Substance
SPRING OF SUBSTANCE
Adorable word drawing a rainbow of substance-- SPRING
Benumb snow-white cloak that drapes the earth,
charmed by strips of golden spotlight above blue skies
delicate cloak now being peeled to show
emeralds of nature: daring...

A Football Match
Both teams seem equal. Can we call this A and B?
Coin tossed; goal-post chose; both, lo, relax for a wee;
The referee blows his whistle, B to kick-start,
Players plunge into deed; wet lips of spectators...

The Curse of November
So the October sky let loose its stores
in drip and drop as nature restores
the wilted and silted back to life.
A rainbow here, a rainbow there.
All signs of good fortune in time.
The Shuramuroves* flock in distant...

Despair Displaced
Hopelessness, like krait betwixt stones, creep into heart,
Confusion, like troubled stream, from heart, stands apart;
I am lonely and lost; float on flooding river,
Lifeless! Though reach the banks, I'll live like a sliver...!
I try to avoid...

This New Year
May blood vessels of affection amalgamate within!
And nucleus of compassion, like a fish and its bin…
Enabling ethical thoughts and words, and deeds coruscate,
Like sparks of virtues from fires of wisdom permeate...!
May evils that muddy the...

Oops
those little drips of word and water
that spill over but shouldn't oughter
gaffs and chaffs and blurbs that spot
sayer or sprayer marked insensitive clod
clothes spotted damp, pride marked too
antagonizing other camp, unable to redo
even royalty’s spoken...

Days On the Farm
How times were different so long ago,
when pure survival dominated life.
No extra frills to fill long hours- bestow
enjoyment- mostly work to ease our strife.
We girls, mid-afternoon, when school was done,
might go to fields to gather...

Solstice
They came in their white robes
leaning on ornate wooden staffs.
Witches too, carrying crystal globes
and the wizard loudly them chaffs.
The moon shines fat and full
casting silvery rays of light.
All together they made an eyeful
as they danced...

Foolish Flower
Always tried to do my best
still - not much earth blest
of five children one
alone makes me grand
Too foolish in the flower

A Promised Place-
a table set
in brighter...

Frustration
Women frustrate me, like Frito bags
dipped in engine grease; quite unsolvable.
But I love them regardless, queens or hags;
life without them would be improbable,
with their constant nags and lovable chaffs,
their love for jeans that cost more...

I Never See the Wind
I Never See the Wind
Written: By Tom Wright
2/17/2007
The wind slips through my life unseen
Often painting vivid pictures.
It moves things, often from one place to another.
It cools, it warms, it freezes, it chaffs,
And sometimes it howls...
