Groundhog day 2024 or Forty one days since 2023 Winter Solstice

Rather than be a day late
and dollar short, I opted   
to post poem acknowledging
the second of February,
where eponymous groundhog
gets his (most often male)
foretelling...

Old Man Winter now flagging, and slip sliding along...

as his stronghold diminishes.

Signals, triggers, and ushers kickstarting debut
of demure "Flora" who slowly but surely attempts
to reveal her true colors in fits and starts,
nevertheless, she displays skittishness,
when...

A pure Hawaiian of rare birth,
living a life somewhat carefree,
fed farm animals by this squirt,
sticks and stones were real toys indeed,
set trash ablaze, be on alert,
a barefoot country kid, that's me,
a runner on trails made...

We will truly only see this life when looking at it from the next.

You will only truly feel this poem
when you see through the poorly
written text.

There are things unseen, between
the lines of shadows and light.

Little strange things,  like more concurrent truths
Between science and religion,  but picking one
Closes off the truth saught,  instead pride filled 
arguments
About who has the most relevance in the idea
given to them based...

Already noticeably marked
increase in daylight
yours truly courtesy affected
qua heliotropic phenomenon
finds me noggin gently being tugged
upward and westward ho toward sun
after dark mine talking head 
rests downward and eastward.

Soon very indistinct
environmental intimations 
regarding onomatopoeic
ubiquitous murmurings,
whereby old...

The Construct of an Essence Forming

Collaborative custodians of remuneration for the poor
Commemorative symposiums on humans need for wanting more
Symbols of ancient mystery drawn upon cave walls
Thimbles of fragrant misery born from what a man recalls

Recognising that we are all of this,
in as all that’s manifest and vast space,
as direct knowing, not a mere premiss,
is non-dual wisdom, garnered by grace.
For most of us, who’re yet rooted in mind,
the truth absolute...

*** Black Snow Storm ***

I’m blacker and madder and more than Hell I be bringin’ ya,
I’m a ****ed up assailant,
Mental-case mercenary hell bent,  
Simultaneous and concurrent, I’m yo danger and yo savior.
 
But I’m...

It’s an old story.
We were classmates, you and I, 
And later became colleagues,
Working under the same roof.
We had more or less the same specialization.
Married in the same year.
Our children went to the same school.
So far...

Pock marked

Bert was cooking in a bucket,
Knew his hide at any rate
Pock marks on his thighs an biceps,
Shot that day by a sniper, mate,

Sniper chopped by Aussie Bren gun,
Fell from palm in many pieces,
Driven back...

Gathered outside my house
Are aliens I've known all my life.

The breeze connects us all.
Ones I've known forever.
The ones I've never known.
And the ones I've known forever
That I've never known.
And the ones I've never known 
That...

My lavish world of happiness
With digging of hole to fall down myself 
To flow into the drainage  
Far afar to go and go and go 
Damaged all and ruined 
But know why? No idea...

Dreams 
On holiday within a
dream,
we sometimes get the
horror scene,
where 50 swingings
of the axe,
cut off your legs,
stumped around in
fact,
some payment here is
seen?
So jerked awake by
horror shook,
like blood a
squirting from a
chook,
forced to walk on
stumps obscene?
A lesson in-between,

We are at the world's edge
Playing non-stop on reed
Along the lyrics of natural nerds
Singing solemnly aloud to no end

With courage, strength and gut, we fledge
Upon all it throws cum concurrent need
We put the flag of...

Thick white clouds
Retracing posture
Atop the layers of earth;
Foggy shrouds of white
Overclouded landscape
Clogging the sunlight
In blurry unclearness.

In brown faded bushes
Lies inhalations of dryness,
Catchy like the gasoline
In simple lit strikes
On matchboxes;
Spreading fierce fires
To four cornered angles
On grassy...

The emerald field of magnificent alps. 
variety of colours radiating with brilliant effusion.  
infinite beauties melting to the admiration of one. 
depth overreaching all the boundaries of fickle fin.
pleasant jewels knotted by the Master...

Addictive poetry


I suddenly wake up and it's midnight,
And my heart is still at the poetry site,
Quietly get up and look for my mail,
And then into drafts and notes I trail,

Words and sentences my passion,
Traverse my...

God,
like Heaven and Earth,
could only be universally transcendent
creative energy

If also unitarian immanent
recreative integrity.

This may appear to be a glitch
to those who believe
we have a manifest divine destiny
to grow
grow
grow and multiply
without concurrent responsibility
to harmony within one...

Hot, grimy air, whispers violently through golden hair,
screeching rails crescendo,  
carrying concurrent panic and peace.

In my mind’s eye,
my feet free themselves from the platform
hurling to a final violent calm.
I am held back by a...

An ineffable Dayspring by Night

Combined with human emotion and the spirits of the skies
    is a mixture of concurrent raindrops and teardrops. 
From the corner of her eye and down her cheek
