Long Fecundity Poems

1
Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

Old Albert was frustrated.

He knew his famous ego-identity came from this solar eco-system
with four interdependent dimensional voices.

He felt his own original moment began with ZeroSum nutritional balance
between eco-centered womb 
and emerging ego-centered identity,

And, he felt...

But we of the Three Tribes live undiscovered 
   In the reverberating stillness of the 
 Three Gorges...
And are therefore unknown to the warring mongol;
    His impassioned lusts -- his...

Booth made famous on April 15th, MDCCCLXV... 
Sic semper tyrannis ad mortem
("Thus always I bring death to tyrants").

Ever since early forerunners 
of twenty first century

across trackless expanse extant
upon planet Earth),

Let's talk today about Trumpism.

If this is a new word,
how is it different and the same as
Fascism?

Who is a Trumpian
more than a Republican?
Or do these two labels
show the same angry face
about a Crippled America
to you?

What drives the stuff of life to persist and thrive?
What drives it to struggle so hard 
to be fittest to compete and survive?
What drives it to be the most fecund 
and best at seeding the...

Sherri Mitchell invites us all
to gather more cooperatively in our search to avoid
once again in this Fifth Extinction MultiGeneration,
the entitled
privileged
win/lose colonizing
leftbrain dominant potential patriarchal terrorist
lurking within
our climate darkening ego identity.

How do I sabotage my more...

Quite mild winter weather bourne this way
within environs of Perkiomen Valley
since latter months of 2021,
but also since me 
January 13th, 2022 birthday,
I predict minimal snowfall
for remainder of 2022 winter,
what with just couple weeks
until Spring Equinox.

Some poems write themselves
Maureen McGreavey excels in pithy poetry
So I do not love writing them, sometimes

Luke 1, a priest prayed for a son (Elizabeth & Zechariah)

(Sanatoga, Pennsylvania location)

I luxuriated as inkling of spring 2021
offered sneak preview today
March third as temperatures
reached low fifties Fahrenheit.

Yours truly began reading
one paperback book
(I purchased three),
and absorbed daily dose of Vitamin D
while secretly ensconced
within favorite nook.

My morning stroll along the lonely walkway
took an unexpected turn.
In an instant encircling me was thick mist.
Soft
Floating
Imperceptibly in motion
Seemingly still.

The sun was hiding somewhere.
It didn’t feel like it was morning.
Obscured were the familiar
green, yellow and...

My lover’s backside makes me weep;
I drew it from memory on the first try 
Then traced it over and over again for hours;

His backside is anguished joyous home and 
Disturbing wonder caught, entangled 
In a...

 The bard, the muse, the low versifier,
 each the times bemoan;
 stressed by compassion's grasp,
 ingrained word sown life disowns;
 individualist rare, previews minds mood,
 frigid wills he does discern;
 insurrection, a thought...

My thoughts are of survival.
The things that were and now forgotten,
seem to claim a patience  that the earth imparts—
soft decay to spite the years spent underfoot
and celebrating change with silence,
waiting for the chance to...

The last truly cold autumn that touched the world
A precipice of endless promise

Nothing but a flimsy plastic shield

Scars eventually fade. 
Dust gets swept away.
The edges of this stain are blurry. 
It lies right where my edges fray.
They think it noble, 
How you suffer for your craft.
It's clear to me your fecundity
Is your...

The smell of musty damp clothing 
held together by the touch of cheap thread.
And rough dogs bred for rabbiting
kept pots filled with law-abiding stew

When rickets craved a bone to bend
and polio bought another set of...

The orchards are bare
   Their branches picked clean
Vegetables all gathered
   Carrots. potatoes, beans
