A storm is brewing, I fear, of unprecedented magnitude.
The storm in mind is not one related to the weather; 
Nonetheless, entities and objects of interest are already being cast about and displaced.  None should be surprised, because the forecast has been clear as crystal.

The warning of lightning has been firing up the skies of indifference and self-seeking for years.  The massive sounds of rolling thunder have been shaking up the familiar cultures, but the masses have been too busy thriving and surviving to investigate what is behind the noises.

The reliable forecasters, the prophets and seers, both true and false ones, fear for the worse.  Still, most of us see no evil and fear no evil.  The attitude is such that whatever happens, like always before, we shall rebuild and live on as usual.                                                           

Too many of us believe only what we have been told, not realizing that the usual ways of living is about to fold.   Too many of us think that the game is one of checkers or chess, not realizing that the real game is dominoes.

Yes, the storm is brewing.
Humpty dumpty is about to fall;
But there’s still hope for us all;
God is always waiting for us to call

By Kelly Deschler


amar ei path chawatei -Kabir Suman

Unsatiable an ode to my harmony
quenching mundane in simplicity

light and shadow overshadowing forecasters to me
lighthearted, unmindful, a gentle breeze in subtlety

Daylong awaits I long alone lingering only for a chime

Whence omniscience harbinger of altruism 
reasons to be
pristine in me

until then pulcher bits and beauty flying over the mundane me
yonder to ponder a journey due for the impeccable time in glum and glee

A splendor, a dew, a timelessness early droplet, an everlasting cosmology
in my patsy to see, to be, to sing in harmony! 

Composition : 1912
Place : Shilaidaha

Aftermath of Hurricane Florence Eye Deux

discovered primacy birthright
(i.e. revanchist deeded sic - seeded),
what "she," viz Mother Nature
     felt tubby "her" right,
bar no holds Gaia
     pulled out all stops
     punishingly ravaged North Carolina
     mercilessly didst wring

havoc bore out flooding
     and proved accurate "NON
     FAKE" fervent devout 
     alarmist theologians
     appropriating weather forecasters dire
     prediction as doomsday message
     fore taste testing, telling, and texting
     presaging Armageddon authored

     by cosmic playwright,
whence global pulverizing,
     savaging, and torturing spite
     fully sucker punching
     swing, perhaps indicative dire strait
(a hunch from this topflight
atheist) posits ultraright
religionists possibly ascribe
     divine creator a bit uptight.

Anticlimactic Mood After February 18th 2021 Snow Storm Subsided

Anticlimactic mood after February 18th, 2021 snow storm subsided

I hate spoiler alert
regarding weather forecasters prediction,
especially when meteorologist
wannabe spouse doth blurt
out impending blizzard
which never materializes.

Yours truly humbled and enamored
when Mother Nature
singly and/or nsync with old man winter
looses propensity to wreak havoc
and/or blankets landscape
I fondly think back
remembering '96 storm of the century.

At that time January 1996
me and the missus timesharing
Shawnee on the Delaware
ardently striving, yet
unsuccessful conceiving Blizzard Baby.

Now far beyond procreative age,
(though I wistfully envisage
begetting another progeny -
simultaneously stretching credulity
to breaking point)
all things considered
exhaustion would peter out
after capitulation of divining rod
necessitating lifetime to recoup energy.

Bound within figurative four walls
of Schwenksville, Pennsylvania domicile
courtesy appreciable snowfall,
I direct energy crafting poem.

Yours truly will actually
refrain comestibles despite feeling hungry -
lest metabolism to digest food
decreases potential alertness,
and full belly finds me
ready able and willing
to doze immediately into deep slumber.

Hungry stomach in tandem
with eventful weather
sends surge of giddiness
coursing thru body electric
crackling, popping, and snapping
(while O Captain My Captain)
came to witty man (me) suddenly
enervating with poignant pregnant expectancy
papa pondering his empty nest syndrome
analogously attempting to offset void

coaxing poem into existence
unsure how literary endeavor
(mine) will thrive
amidst well suited
panoply of prolific writers,
whose unseen fingers
hop lightly and gracefully
across qwerty computer keyboard
akin to heavy armed soldiers
with fearlessness and deliberation
heading off to war to acquire poetic license.

Meanwhile chafed knuckles
of one garden variety primate
previously scraping along tundra
(methinks I espy frozen Mastodon)
(before twenty first century caveman
learned to stand erect)
endeavors to strike letter combinations
eliciting, facilitating, and generating
enticing curb appeal.

Nobel Lionized Matriarchy

Freely forming metrical mainstays
poetic occasion to phrase
the fairer and gentler sex,
thus the following turns of phrase
to bestow acknowledgement

regarding wonderful wise ways
of collective she who assays
to create safe/secure home/ hearth
as bedrock and fount of ample
maternal duties tiredly sashays

with keeping house receiving praise
the second Sunday each May, her
tired body sprawled on chaise
lounge, perhaps basking in solar rays
communing with Gaia, who whiz 
bruiting with sky goddess

defying forecasters prediction, no slate grays
pose dampening effect on huzzahs
regaling torchbearer diploid as amaze
zing newlife, where loving labor pays
more than fine spun gold cherishing
offspring in her nurturing ways.

Paean dutiful daily deference, I dole
ensconced with pineapple getup
surfing the cyber sea, this hyperbowl
lee, yet deserved dignity deifying dames,
who bear brunt whole
ding potent biological reproductive role

de facto duty honorably decreed
tribute paid despite commercialized
money making hyped up rigamarole,
nonetheless yours truly accentuates sole
sans, progenitor of human race
saddled with disproportionate/ unfair toll.

Premium Member Bloody Ridiculous

Into each life some rain must fall
But this is bloody ridiculous
Folks on the corner are building an ark
Their workmanship is quite fastidious

They seem to know something is up
Like a scary upcoming event
Hasn't stopped raining for about a month
Sometimes gets really intense

Not used to this miserable rainy weather
Where the heck did winter go?
These dismal skies can be so depressing
What we need is piles of snow

Whoa is me, I'm sounding like Eeyore
I repeat, this is bloody ridiculous
I used to be such a happy old soul
The gods have become unscrupulous

The forecasters are predicting 55°F today... this Canada in January!!!
What's up with that???
Form: Quatrain

Refreshingly Cozy Chill September Aire

Cold front brings August respite
upon cusp of autumn quite
natural palliative to forget monetary plight
relieving spate of dog days of summer
seasonal crisp balm appeared overnight
evidenced of late by Jeeves

cool temperatures at night
temporarily bumping ugly
global warming with moonlight
sonata courtesy mother nature
perfect bonfire weather courtesy lignite
kept burning chaste cheerful pro bono

strong arm moored Sir Lancelot knight
sinewy physique, muscularly lean
apropos appellation applied Jack Lite
doubling up as Jack Frost
i.e. old man winter based
on Farmer's almanac

forecasters, who possess
sixth sense insight
predicting harsh winter, yeah right
as if standing atop shoulders of giants
towering, rivaling, overshadowing...
Jack and beanstalk re: fabulous height

seedy tale Aesop pose ghostwrite
ten and/or retold by Flora Annie Steel
fanciful imaginative flight
first appeared as The Story to delight
kids all ages of Jack Spriggins and
the Enchanted Bean in 1734 quite

similar to goose that laid golden egg
wishful thinking miniature
cogs and wheels spin
furiously at midnight
fantasizing escaping out
maws o' penury plight

accepting hand to mouth existence
experiencing pleasant distraction
as fall weather doth excite
reminding me seasonal change
could kindle potential playwright
within, which storyline outright

fabrication trumpeting rich mogul
comprising make believe webbed world
frees yours truly 24/7 nightmarish fright
one forlorn bummer groveling along...

holding transformative amulet tight
precious stone of malachite
imparting deep energy cleaning,
bringing healing powers that 
powers love delight.

Premium Member Puzzle Pieces

I saw a thousand          things today
powerless to impact but in little way
millions of children no meal will eat
but we can't decide    upon which treat
 
There is no water to drink     that's clear
weapons and bullets            so many have fear
the leaders of religions their children molest
praise their God and commit            incest
 
Against this system            so many swear
to effect its changes way to few dare
cars and houses with sensual delight
clouds that clarity to do            what's right
 
Countless lives           passed through history
too many cannot define      it's mystery
bodies rocking their prayers to the wind
wondering when will         their suffering end
 
Those that are weak       the predators prey
using excuse          that they are built that way
Babylon rides            the back of the Beast
we have been deceived                from greatest to least
 
Even those who carry the             true Gods name
have put            the teaching of Jesus to shame
they have put good for evil           and evil for good
accuse those who tell truth            that its falsehood
 
Twenty thousand children      one religion confess
fathers and elders with rape cause duress
the numbers are too miniscule I fear
this number is only two continents              I hear
 
With pleasure and entertainment            buried our mind
but our choice and voice our actions define
politicians and merchants and news forecasters
religious leaders whose influence           are masters
 
But the finest teacher                  of recorded time
confessed the Truth taught what's divine
asked all mankind to consider his word
till your decisions and choices               prove you've heard
 
The finest qualities             displayed among men
could all them             be found in him
yet not one among man have I found
the depth of him       can equal abound
 
No life      has any true power
without its commitment          to good in its hour
I saw a thousand things        in my mind today
like a moving picture             on permanent display
 
Matthew  12:3-21    15:1-20
Matthew 23 
Jude  1: 12-15

Climate Change
David J Walker

I
A teacher we know
died suddenly
        or so 
        it seemed
        and
It seemed 
as if it were
       a dream
       unfulfilled
The climate in schools
Is changing

II
Forecasters gathered 
in convocations
	and manifestations
to explain away  
        a rainy day
that never came  
predictions changed
        the next day 
	anyway 
the climate of clouds
	is changing

III
I remember the promises 
made
	at the rallies and
and 	debates
by candidates 
who can’t wait
        to give back
        give or take 
	factor X 
the climate of politics
is changing



IV
We are expanding
	said the astronomer 
but people disbanding
listened to
	their astrologer 
because they say they preferred
the mystic word 	from
       those who
would tell them 
what they wanted 
 	 to hear
for a hundred dollars 
         a session 
the climate of the universe
is changing

Premium Member Brave New World of Cars

Automotive experts clearly agree
Driverless cars are the thing for you and me

How did they arrive at this brilliant conclusion?
Perhaps by illusion or via delusion
Perhaps by a bit of Malthusian confusion
  --All I know is it leaves me in deep disillusion

Yo, Honda Corp, Mr. Yamada, did you ask me about it?
Yo, Nissan Corp, Mr. Saikawa, do you think that I tout it?
Yo, Toyota Corp, Mr. Toyoda, can't we live without it?
Yo, Subaru Corp, Mr. Nakamura, why don't you doubt it?

The 'cool corporations' want driverless tech
Not one of them is willing to stick out his neck
Yelling like heck:
  "I want my independence
   I want my freedom
   Whatever sights can be seen
   I want to see'm!"--
Not sit in the backseat fiddling with a device
While the bot in the driver's seat ignores his advice

America's highways and byways, her mountains and valleys
Lo, her fields and her meadows, her side streets and alleys
Were meant to be driven, meant to be seen
  --Not merely imaged on a tiny phone screen 

"See the USA in your Chevrolet
America's the greatest land of all"           (Dinah Shore, TV ad, 1950's-60's)
Keep humans in the driver's seat
Spring, Summer and Fall
  --Don't slow this country's love affair with the auto to a crawl. 

So, all you pundits of prescience, prediction, precision
You fearless-faced forecasters of science-less fiction
Before you commit me and my friends
To a future none of us desires
  ~ Think twice: Cars may just lose all their buyers
