Long Conjunctions Poems

"Small Mutinies"



So what if my point of view
is not that which wraps 
you in comfortably warm
fluffed-up silky 
cashmere blankets 
of insecure insincerity
simple scribbles 
bleating from the 
chirping crickets 
and frog croaking
symphonies 
muddying waters
cutting pristine lines...

What are words other than coffin nails be?
Who does it belong to when it rails me?
An empty vessel at best that bails thee.

Predictions work in twists of what makes life workable
High and often misconstrued by the dogma of science
Lies and damned lies and statistics for the insecure
Foes foretold surprise when the blindfolds shed masks
In the light of...

He's packin' magic Viagra
Muse infused grooves set the mood
grab ya' and stab ya' 
we're opposites 
still we speak the same language 
teach and preach truth
every time I stop to see what he's droppin' 
my dang...

In English there are different types of words.
Like articles, prepositions, nouns, adjectives and verbs
They have special functions and they teach
Us to distinguish the various parts of speech.

NOUNS of course are words for "things"
Some we can...

Is space-time a fabric that stretches and strains,
like a grass harp ruffling across the great plains,
when the force of a huge body in motion
makes waves akin to the billowing ocean?

LIGO’s antennae have finally disclosed
those waves...

In the beginning was the word
Before that, no noun, no thing
Then no sound was ever heard
And no passing bell would ring

So therefore no adjective was needed to describe it or deplore it
No preposition required to...

Prospect to rejection in a matter of minutes 
Always in a lifetime people rarely finish a sentence

Sometimes there is a time,
Where a thing at a certain time,
With a blink,
Appears to link,
It can be a feeling,
A word, a seeing
or even beauty of dreaming.

Remember that dream you had?
Did anything in reality associate? 
It...

Fractals.

Spawn of iterating quadratic functions.  
Choreographers of cosmic conjunctions.
Impervious to human dysfunctions.

Makers of multiverses.  Encoders of creations.   
Limited only by imaginations.

Recursive.  Coercive.  Immensely immersive.
Purveyors of poetic creative cursive.

With formative...

In order to form these words,
you must start by being unsure.
from comforting warmth, to a artic discomfort
switching to fire and ice again.
Temperature like a predator
in the Sahara desert dusk.

Sit on your porch at dusk,

Open Word Classes

In language there are classes, we are told,
Of words both new and old.
Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs too,
And among them, open word classes few.

Nouns, the names of things and beings,
Verbs, actions that give them...

Poetry has left me again 
I’ve bled the hills and trees for words
I’ve searched for verbs in the hours

When someone fills the emptiness
I will have no need for pronouns 
No talk or fragments fulfills you

Durin' my shaky academic career I was an 'A' pupil in gym and art,

"New Thoughts"

New everything,
new songs that we will sing,
new words,
nouns and verbs,
conjunctions,
with the pure function,
of holding sentences together,
like houses held tight in bad weather,
New thoughts and ideas,
new ways to adhere,
if you hear,
New places to explore,
new inspirations...

Writers Are:

We are all the carnal
offspring of nouns and pronouns,
verbs and adverbs, conjunctions,
"INTERJECTIONS," and adjectives;
with the occasional preposition
thrown in there for good measure.
When feeling naked we clothe 
ourselves in form, meter, 
syntax, grammar, and style....

As you read this poem, I’m mentally undressing you.
Word by word your protests drop to the floor. 
Syllable by syllable I pare you down to honest flesh. 
Utterance by utterance, your secrets are revealed 
Until...

Circles of lightnings keep their vigil
Thunder dressed in curtains of rain

Red shades of the blood wood tree
Colouring the waters of twilight pools
In dreamtime where...

When words are running rampant
You just have to rein them in.
By lassoing a few of them,
At least you can begin.

They’ll buck and kick and race around,
Defiantly at first, 
Especially the adjectives – 
You know that...
