          In all uv lights
                save
           The Moon's
    her cinnamon tresses
         the longest halo
             mine ever 
               known 

         Hern pretty lays
        'Gainst the stone
         affixed it's cold
             hern gem
              glisters

  Her mitt's painted digits
                claw
              Feet lift
           the nymph's
             torso tall
            Visage flat 
        the castle's wall

                 her 
                 hot 
               breath
            crystalline

             her wink

The Leader and the Sun a Tale

A communist leader judging himself
  a semi-god, that's why so
  vainglorious opened the window and spotted
  the sun...
- Hello sunshine ... good morning!
  The surprised sun replied:
- Good Morning.
  The afternoon came, the chauvinist leader
  aware of his condition, he opened the window and
  again saluted the sun:
- Good afternoon, sunshine ...!
  The sun to end the prose soon said:
  - Good afternoon.
  At night, wanting to demonstrate his superiority
  before colleagues the arrogant leader opened
  the window and shouted ...
  - Good night sun ....!
  - Good night sun ... !!
  - Good night sun .... !!!
  The sun did not answer ...
  The leader angrily shouted:
  -Who do you think you're dealing with ... I'm
   greatest leader of the army in Germany
   Oriental ... how dare you stay silent!
  Then there was a fleeting, distant voice,
  almost inaudible ...
- Ssh silence ... I'm not there now,
    I'm in the east ...!

Different Opinions Ain't Attacks

Relax if I wanted drama, I'd

Turn on Reality  TV and watch folks

Falling to pieces 

I'm not throwin' shade, I'm throwing thoughts,

And half the occasions they bounce off

You like "girl " , that's all you got?

We're just a pair of brains doin'

Mental gymnastics, Flippin' ideas like

Bargain-bin mattresses- Unsteady but

Somehow still workin' in practice. 

Flippin thoughts like those mysteries-

Brand mattresses online-

You don't know what's inside,  but it holds

Up just fine.

Flippin ' perspectives like discount mattresses-

A lil' unstable,  but still gets the job done with

Zest.

Disagreement Ain't danger-its

Cardio for the cortex,  A lil' jog for your

Judgement, 

A stretch for your overtone, no beef, no grief, 

No emotional sabotage- just grown- folks

Echoing  through  this community,  epilog

Where the acoustics make every opinion 

Sound like a monologue collage.

You toss your angel, I toss mine right back-

That's not a threat,  that's  a conversational 

Life hack. 

And if I crack a joke mid-debate, don't fluster

Humor's my way of keepin' the vibe

Aerodynamic, So your ego don't inflate

Like a economical pool float- tragic

No shade, no blade, no drama on deck-

Just swagger in the jargon and respect in

The subtext, Cause grown-folks can disagree

Without fuming it's complex.

So breathe let your thoughts expand out

And yield in.

Let your peace stay seated while your mind

Takes a stand,

Cause different opinions ain't attacks,

They're just an extra way to understand...

And if you still feel attacked?

Dear, that's your WI-FI- not my words-

You need to reset your emotional modem

And try again.

Losses and Gains

Soon the thymus is lost,
                         ok, no nonsense,
                           everything as...
                         Worse is to lose the sense, the grace
                          to be a boy...!?
                         It's not lethal, losing the gourd...
                         but the spleen... not that
                          you can lose!
                           Lose your loving heart,
                         It's sad, very sad, almost
                         mortal... but the heart
                          lost physique, is fatal,
                          it's fatal...
                         Lose your cool, calmly
                         sometimes you can...
                         But losing your soul... that
                          no angel helps...!

Premium Member Somethin' Right

Folk Song in the Key of G Silent

Amazin’ grace is shinin’ down on me.
I must be doin’ somethin’. 
A warbler’s singin’ in a hawthorn tree.
I must be doin’ somethin’ right.

This bloomin’ garden, she’s lookin’ lovely,
As the clouds above me go their merry way.

There’s truth and beauty in a dandelion.
I must be doin’ somethin’.
It costs me nothin’ and it’s mine, all mine.
I must be doin’ somethin’ right.
		
Called Mother Nature a sexy dancer.
Heard an echo answer, It’s my lucky day.

My love and I are walkin’ arm in arm,
I must be doin’ somethin’.
Found a heads-up penny and a four-leaf charm.
I must be doin’ somethin’ right.

I view these omens with the suspicion 
That the joy I’m wishin’ for is here to stay.

Amazin’ grace is shinin’ down on me.
I must be doin’ somethin’. 
Hearin’ Mozart in a bluebird symphony.
I must be doin’ somethin’ right.

Harpoon Heart

Innacurate mariner's spear

Molests sand, sending
reprisal's quiet return

wrath of a once in seventy 
year storm
Wounds sailor in scorn 

Misguided barbed harpoon 
missiles silt, shore bound

Beasts swim by... 
Breaching, phallic 

Burrowed harpoon
breathes in between
spaces grains give

Tide brings drink
 - Salty stew of recourse
-  rubs sins' reveal
Altered memories 
can mingle with blood's dissolved
culmination 

Persuasion picks apart iron
Dagger's gradual horizontal 

rusts as a Christmas tree
spruce in nasal cavity

Flavour seasons meat 
for next festive season

Reflections on Poetry in Tanka

thought as poetry 
past present future surreal 
pure expressions cure 
deific communing in time
softly breath stitches rare rhymes 

stillness turns wheel feel
creating cosmic garlands
recognise lyrics 
emotions eclectic ebbs
awakens colourful dreams

mirror reflections
nouns verbs adjectives adverbs 
ether air worded 
fire water earth stanzas 
carries stories converses 

stimulates seconds 
fathoms then embraces faith 
promotes perfect peace 
forms galore eastern western 
feeding fertility flames

intrinsic to life
advances awareness awed
forge fraternity 
transmuting darkness to art
wisdom deepens liberty

THE ART OF GOD IN US FOR US



Master artist as he is,
 God made even greater art,
 when he created you!

 Brightened your walk,
 gave you moon texture
 with softness on the skin,

 thought of cotton clouds
 when sculpting your breasts and curves
 and wonderful muse hips !

 Made you a goddess of love!

 God for me, made noble rustic art...
 I thank him, everything is fine...!

 Skin red from the scorching sun,
 strong arms to embrace you
 enchanted, astonished eyes
 for your beauty, and for you...

 I'm glad he cared
 to join us...!

 So let's do what he wants!
 may we praise and love him...
 let's make love!

 Let us love each other like God
 so well ordered...

 Love is art...
 Divine art!

Premium Member Nomads

March field
       snow patched scars
       deer forage
       green stubble flirting
       the ground parsimonious
       its fast food scarcity

Deer raise their heads
       regard my presence, murky
Their eyes clear, deep, almond round
       shaking something in me
       solemnizing freedom

Nature's rated stature
       flecked streamlined beauty
       compact torsos
       triggered taunt launching

A thought that trophy room plundering
       could cut nimble hoofers
       complicated narrative
       the jagged edge of hunting

Deer holding my fixed attention
       that slips from boxed corners
       making space for reconsidering
       to forego what's crushing
       a blend to nomadic tramping
       competing urges

Rippled cues of wishing
       to know life in rhythmic movement
       to singe bits of living
       blurred escape
       like deer in hurdle leaps
       to flee,
       light flickering vanity
       that craves invisible spaces

The Big Sky Part Two

It didn't take long
every manager there
tried signing both men.
Looking out for there
interest, calling making 
arrangements. Both men
were advised of what
they were getting involved
With. They choose a manager
and signed the contract.
A meddling Scooter Bainez
Came down and involved
himself, told both men
He looked forward to weaseling
his way into contention, and told
whoever lost should be made to
leave; cause didn't feel like hearing
no whiney helper licking his wounds
like a whiny brat!
The match went on.
At 22:19 " Meaty" Morehead of Ord
Came down to ringside and 
Apache Chopped  "The Kruel"Cast Guilder
allowing The Big sky , to gain the fall
at 30:01. The Big sky became the new
World's champion!
