Long Concisely Poems

What I wanted to say
the other day
when exalting healthy kindness

of all we cooperatively cherish
as good-wellness humored
for me
and win/win...

I was an eminent, solar physicist, like the blushing rose, craving renown.

There was her, and then guess who,

Our green campus favorite
MuseSpeech Teacher
always hosted outside seminars
at noon,
Sharp!

And served chocolates
while mentoring
Her systemic theology

"Doesn't get on well
with academic secularized ecology
we have
and have not
personally experienced."

This is today's thesis
and antithesis
for engaging stories
of synergetic peak experiences,
amusing EarthBright passions,

Reminders of looking back the other way
Impossible to recall 'just' the way we were

Beautiful Boy
Your life
used to be a canvas
Filled
with darkness, splattered witih confusion
A cloud of bitterness
 hangs heavily on your shoulders
I see how the aggressive colors integrate with
 the blotches of pain painted
prodominantly in the horizon
and

Dr. Seuss

Comparing

A young man stood next to a man who was much taller.

These words, here before me,
Carry meanings, so free.
That phrase, over there,
Evokes images, so rare.

This sentence, so precise,
Paints a picture, concisely.

Their elegance, it yearns.
You hear them, so clearly,

wanders above wings,
parting shadows
to a place alone
where I encounter
a loving presence

Fellow traveler on life's road
A challenger of danger
Or one he desires to know
Thief of culture...

Unveiling my needy novel entertaining intentions
yet not revealing news or even pretensions
about who I today am
becoming
or tragically have been,

Is this fertility
or merely self-absorbing pregnancy?

If the distance
between Earth's nature

My Mind
Continuously Composes
Line upon lovely line
Of poetry roses

Sparked and budded
By inspiration words
Like that of an Ode on a Grecian Urn
Makes my melting heart’s hunger burn
Elevated inspiration spike
From lines like
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty”

This keeps me...

My Mind,
A Time Capsule
Written: by Tom Wright
1/27/2016

With the clock un-laboriously doing its thing,
I start today with blank canvas.
No chambered thoughts, tarrying from the dark side.
 
My mind functions as a stopgap time capsule,
Where is interred...
