County Down Winter

County Down winter falls hard buried in snow
Bone chilling ice buries the soul that had a heart
Sliced in two twice removed from love from life
From the equation to a distance in a kiss
Mistaken for friendship that missed the mark 
Bone chilling straight to the core of winter

Cold comes, as speed trains, as bullets, like rain
As drops of acid bombs fallen from planes
Tumbled in turn to create disaster
As temperatures dip below the timberline 
Plunge into regular sin then into mortal
Into total darkness as pine trees bow
To the pressure of original sins committed
Below the barometric limits of winter
Put upon them with excessive weight
Of snow, of white,  as Christmas comes
On each floating flakes chaotic fall  

Overnight God sends down a bearded man
Black boots make him look fatter than fat and old
There will be plenty of plastic toys for kids
Alcohol and coal mines for adults to dig
Parents prefer nuclear devices and rifles
To impress their neighbors who have nothing

As the good people pray in church
No one listens to Father O'Keefer
They don't need to they have their grief
A sneeze wakes them up before morning
A missile by their side for warmth

A soft voice continues preaching to the wind
Which is already rising with seasonal bliss 
Is that the clock tower in the distance
Counting down the seconds to Christmas
In the County Down district in Ireland
Or something different that is ticking
Gone missing at this time of year

Air-ball, foul, listen to the referee 
No free throw from the key 
Sit in this corner for time out
Check by your names and throw a pout

Hopscotch, Tik Tok
Social media around the clock
For freedom of press
For freedom to express
but there is a distress
And we both are in need
Yell and shout for liberty
But here currently
The support is for the company
From bailouts to sell outs
So “shut up and dribble”
Give me something to nibble
Like on gold or money
The pooh bear honey
Intake, half baked
From the land of quake 
-“Injustice Anywhere
 Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere” -MLK
But Lebron don’t care 
Hurry up before it is gone
Where do I belong

The pendulum swings
Walk this line
Pass the breath 
The test of time
The honey pot
There the spot
Spring of Beijing
Wall street likes
As profits hikes
With a little luck 
Won’t get stuck
So where do I belong?

There could be a storm
All is torn
Do you see the vision?
What team are you on?
Make an active decision
A voice
A choice?
But wallets need to get fatter
Once 70 million lives matter 
How? Moa
Ban or switch 
Twitter or twitch
Live stream
Where is the dream team?
What side am I on?

The east meets the west
Trapped in a nest 
Treated as a pest
From a queen
In this game of chess
Gone to a pawn
The regime is wrong 
Can I get in a word?
Freedom for Hong Kong 

We need a superman
Or do we just need to be an NBA fan
Or rather stick our heads into the sand
Do we declare war on plastic straws? 
Yet it is getting to hard to breath
Too much traffic in the yellow sea
Support Hong Kong democracy

And Taiwan too. 

And and and.... all of china becoming democracy

F  l  y  i  n  g

a sailing tailwind
through cerulean streams
and creamsicle colored beams—
are wings reflective 
of the turquoise truth 
and white purity 
of Autumn’s ether 

he aviates 
a clear troposphere 
riding an unbridled
capricious and combative 
boreas
on the cusp
of a new season

with a plumage infusion
of shifting Cape Cod skies
the blue jay mixes hues
with the Northern azure 
that fades to shades 
of turmoil
to the South and East—
becoming lost
in its milky breadth
its lilting light
its dimming depths
where the edge of rustic rural 
meets the sandy ridge of conifers—crooked
twisted and back-bent
from gales 
of salt-sprayed sorcery

Canadian bluster-gusts
leading the charge 
of a cold sapphire crest  
is bedeviled 
offshore 
by the raw 
tongue-lashing spin 
of a brooding onshore flow
twirling 
a brewing brawl
whirling 
in slate pearlescent space
s w i r l i n g 
with the dusky feistiness 
of stormy petrels…
mobs of darkening fog 
growing fatter
on summer’s fainty surrender—
leftover tints of tender cornflower
and hints of dainty dove

there’s a sparkle 
in the eye of the storm…
his mischievous black gaze 
mirrors 
the harsh harbinger 
of commotion  
clash and change—
his piercing “jay-jay” jabs 
the maddening mayhem 
of menacing air 
with an emerald-needled sharpness 
of wind-weary pitch pines 
anchoring 
the beige of coastal dunes
where his refractive blues
take cover 
in colorful contrast

ahead
of the bruising
October nor’easter

Trump Time Is a Coming

These tyrants of men with fat belly eyes Infect our dreams. 
Soulless sorcerers of threadbare promises. 
Who masterfully manipulated the hopes 
Of a disappointed people, 
And we the demented fools believed,
Believed with all our hearts, 
That they can turn our dusty tracks into roads. 
Of shiny gold. 

And soon beneath a cool winter's sky 
A flock of black coated demigods will land and will grow fat and hungry, 
as they try to swallow the world, 

Their hidden hatred, faces within faces. 
And we the blinkered fools cursed with forgetfulness, 
Who are deaf to things we should know, 
Lap their words up like sugary cream. 

They'll make us giants again, 
And we the superior idiots can sit and watch our enemies burn, 
And only the treacherous will mourn, 
We'll cheer and sing and guzzle gallons of freedom beer, 

Nobody cares if the world is illusion, a facade for the gullible
And soon they'll be no truth but post truth, 
Delivered by nasty little spirit men, 
Who will cleanse the soul of history. 
To make us believe that ignorance 
And brutality diluted in a bath of bitter words, 
Can restore the improbable dream of
A suburban utopia

We the trudging mass will accept, 
As we always accept such things, 
Warmed by a PR smile and saccharin sweetness of snake oil charm , 

And they will reduce us to dollar counters 
Counting greasy money into greasy tills 
And the fat will get fatter hiding their delight, 
Behind sneering eyes, 
And the only rest for a working man will be 
The graveyard's soil 
After a lifetime of Infinite toil, 

Their victory is assured.

Monorhyme for Our Time

I cannot make it simpler, plainer, flatter:
do not mistake my words for salesman’s patter:
‘direct’ is not the same as ‘idle chatter’.
You own a thing you never ought to shatter –
you got your Constitution on a platter,
and ‘peace’ beats ‘bleeding’. Never opt for spatter!
The former’s better (trust me) than the latter.
It’s fish that’s nourishing – ignore the batter
(the only thing it does is make you fatter).
We Europeans know. We have the data.
When enemies come challenging, don’t scatter.
Repose is better for your soul than clatter,
the dormouse wiser than the loony Hatter.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Premium Member Desize Me

The world, his wife, or her partner, and the kids
Are mostly upsized, overweight, bloated or even worse obese.
Millions of scientists, doctors and nutrients can't figure out why
Too many theories, too many claims and counter claims, conflicting.
Finger of blame swings wildly around like roundabout in the park swinging in the wind
Fat, carbs, protein, meat, dairy, fast food, you named it has been blamed.
Diets galore, too many to mention, all tried in vain as more weight is gained.
The equation is simple: Calories eaten in food versus calories burnt in activity.
A Calorie excess means body stores fat, you get fat.
A Calorie deficit, more burnt than eaten, means body burns fat and mass, and you lose weight.
The sad fact is that modern Western food is far to rich.
It is processed and enhanced to be bloated with sugar, fat, protein and calories.
You and me get fat, even when we eat three 'normal' healthy meals a day.
The food is too rich, the portions too large, so we each too much, even without eating fast foods and junk.
Exercise helps, but what you put in your mouth matters most.
The evidence out there is clear as a bell.
The obesity epidemic started in the 1970's when the food processing revolution began.
Primitive communities that adopt Western foods get fatter and fatter.
The problem lies in the food we eat: We eat too much; and the food we eat is far too rich.
The solution: Only eat the better half of each meal, eliminate processed foods, and fast for longer each day.
Eat well, eat less, watch what you eat, enjoy the little you eat, enjoy fasting, and be more active.

Premium Member Soupers, to you I am Indebted

Poetrysoup, to me is just like a joint family.
How by a common bond, here we are strung together!
Though sailing in different currents and anchored in remote ports,
Distance among us has never been a hitch or a tether.

Here we enjoy a warm and genial camaraderie.
Often I feel my credit far exceeds my debit,
And am weighed down by a heavy sense of debt.
I wonder if I will ever be able to repay a small bit.

Before I am stamped an insolvent the rest of my life,
Let me strive to do some little good while I can.
Like a melting candle, let me bring some glow,
Before I grow weary and time runs out of my span.

Sometimes I feel I am an insidious bed bug,
Growing bigger and fatter on others' blood.
Here when I registered as an artless novice,
I was as inane and inexperienced as a kid.

As a kite with a piece of broken string,
I floated up hither and thither in the skies in vain.
You gave me direction, guidance and support.
I owe to each one of you for all that I could attain.

Your relentless encouragement helps me aim for heights, 
Your heartfelt blessings give me loads of happiness. 
Your poems open before me new avenues of thought.
Your gracious company creates for me a new ambience.

Before my eyes, a hundred smiling faces appear in a row.
Some stand out as beacons of radiant light.
With words of encouragement, they vanquish all my doubts,
Revitalizing my lackluster spirit and leaving it shimmering bright.

Through this forum, we share our inmost thoughts,
How close we feel though never been together.
Many have left the scene leaving trails of footprints,
And many join fresh to continue the endeavor.

Irrespective of creed, we are here at art’s sacred shrine.
‘Soupers’ we are called and we breathe the scented pride.
We stand tall among many others of our species.
Let us proclaim aloud our fraternity worldwide!

The Madness of Josephine

She wears only a light robe
and doesn't complains it's cold;
may I introduce her to you guys:
her name is crazy Josephine...
she drinks alchool and uses morphine...
what a shame: she a grandmother and tells lies!


Fatter than a cow, she eats cookies
dunked in carnation milk...and laughs as a freak,
or a drag queen showing her silver teeth;
that makes me think: did she ever take down those bullies!


I talked to her and told her to get off that staff immediately,
it doesn't work for her depression and loneliness...
will she heed, or continue doing harm to her body? 
At forty two, she should think of a better existence!  


Let me tell you about the weird personality of Josephine:
she can't cook or make coffee...she only cleans and sings
while Hannessy make her face red and she begins to dance
whispering, " Hi, sweety...hand me some of that ovaltine!"


Mad, mad Josephine, don't seduce me with your flamboyant charm,
I couldn't  lie in bed with you, not even for a moment and whisper romantic words;
it would definetely kill any sexual desire even when the room is calm...
please go somewhere else, and find a boyfriend who won't close his eyes and arms.

Premium Member Stark in Glacier Park

We planned for cycling in Northern Montana
Me, Marvin, Louis, and Anna
I had doubts about them, though they were healthy
For Anna could never resist a selfie
Marvin couldn't plan, Louis attracted disaster
Mainly because he always had to go faster.
Me, my only problem was I'm slightly bats
and guiding these guys was like herding cats.

We flew in with our bikes to Glacier Park
Started our day while it was still dark
Marvin wore a T-shirt, the fool didn’t care,
Sweating up the switchbacks, in the frosty air.
Then snowmelt got him soaked, and the road took a dive
Cold wind froze him; more ice than alive

Anna asked me to take a photo with a bear
I turned around, but she was no longer there.
Just a fatter grizzly, and a titanium frame
Maybe I can sell it, waste is such a shame.
Louis blasted past a "Road Closed" sign,
Rockfall twisted his bike like an old clothesline.

(Chorus)
Don’t be like us, leave the park for the bears
From my vantage point, I can say no-one cares
What starts as a dream can get very stark
And end under a tombstone mentioning Glacier Park. 

Then I headed out on 'going to the sun'
the scenery was a heartache, the riding so much fun
The slope got steep, I had to zig zag wide
A fast cyclist came down; I veered off the side
I survived, don't know how or why
But my friends had joined that bike shop in the sky.

So I'll hang up my helmet, think of each friend
and how a dream of Montana drove them round their last bend.

Premium Member Star Trek's Star: Captain Kirk Aka William Shatner

Captain Kirk, an adventurous guy,
flew through galaxies beyond earth’s sky
on an old sci-fi show
which was canceled although
crazy fans would not let Star Trek die!

First for having the Captain Kirk name,
William Shatner achieved certain fame.
Illusions can shatter;
though older and fatter,
Shatner still is a STAR all the same!

* William Shatner earned both a Golden Globe and an Emmy for his quirky
role as Denny Crane and Emmy nominations until the end of the series
Boston Legal. Also he appears on numerous comedy and tv shows, does 
cameos, interviews, conventions, commercials, twitter, and book writings
and has a star on both the Hollywood and the Canadian Walk of Fame.
