Premium Member Legacy of the Green Monster

Legacy of the Green Monster
 
An odd green monster
 Resides within the corner 
  Of my kitchen sink –
Mouth open,
Stomach rumbling,
  		Whispering feed me – feed me now -
Ready to receive scraps of wilted salad,
 Spicy pie,
  		Pasta sauce and olive pits
   			With bits of Tuesday’s stew -
Not fretting when it’s musty perfume
 	 Mingles with strawberries
   		Past their prime –
Banana peels -
Or
Tattered leaves swept from the floor
 	Dragged in on furry paws;
No sweet smelling new mown hay;
The useless and expired
  	Now expelled from the monster’s grip,
A smorgasbord of the over ripe,
The underdone, 
  		The scorched and slightly singed 
Mingling – Maturing -
Ever ripening in 
A mountain growing by the house
To once again revive growth,
	With discarded apple cores
		And sweet potato peels - 
This pungent bisque spread on sleeping garden beds
When springtime wakes the earth
 From hibernation
Only to find tomato plants
Growing in the strangest places.

On Learning To Become a Guru

On learning to become a guru...

The following artfully crafted back in the day
(actually poetic endeavor presented below
written a few scant years ago) in response to
unexpected positive feedback received on
the most popular social media platform.

Unbeknownst to this unsuspecting witty mortal,
a reverberation attributed to butterfly effect
linkedin to hotmail twittering Facebook member,
who resides within Bhutan, his dignified volition
accorded me magnanimity titled sage without any

influential collusion from Russians bestowed yours
truly with said honorably distinguished appellation,
which humility of mine humbly accepted without a
protestation, though never would I brazenly adopt
spiritual holiness, yet flattered to share such rare

pronouncements, when unsolicited feedback lobbed
in my direction (way before advent of Information
Technology Revolution) often tendered, kindled, and
belittled this gentle human, sans when bullies slung
byte ting bit torrent loathsome scandalous red zingers

targeting personal vulnerabilities, asper being under
socially withdrawn, painfully shy, plagued with speech
impediment (severe nasality) caused by submucous
cleft client, plus weighing where needle budged from
absolute zero pounds, topped with passive demeanor

susceptibilities conveniently converging to establish
this bruised Earthling ideal choice as scapegoat, no
kidding with dread to endure endless days, weeks,
months...a lifetime channel of opprobrious, noxious,
malicious emotionally demonic, cannibalistic, barbaric

abominable, damnable, horrible diatribes chipping
(dale lee) at what measly self confidence shielded
fragile psyche fast crumbling into grist for hungry
caterpillar, unbeknownst that flight path randomly

followed by a representative of Lepidoptera order,
would ineluctably set very subtly infinitesimal
fluctuations within air (currently supplying biota
with requisite oxygen), also training perturbation.

Patience Young Grasshopper mine alter ego spoke
when yours truly figuratively chomping at the bit
more accurately fretting with anxiousness when
boyhood body of mine underwent metamorphosis
impossible mission to thwart biological transformation.

Premium Member Unbridgeable Chasm

when distance cuts at love
           confounding closeness
we grumble at Skype connecting
                           broken in its transmitting
togetherness that edges to confusion 
turbulence in modernity
when we're unsure of what lies ahead
in slim rays of long distance longing

can love fall its way to slumber?

our chasm
settling in our lost sleep
life imperfect like the moon in pot mark littering
space junk
to trigger all our fretting

we sense where things are headed
with careers of solo plotting 
no romp of a reunion, pending
lives that long a re-uniting are tangled
                    like Christmas tree lighting 
no strategy for bridging this abyss 
when the desire to live one's life
                 unencumbered 
                 pushes all else aside

                 like pens tapping on a desk
                 restless in the waiting

Premium Member Cabbage Patch Dolls

I had heard about Cabbage Patch dolls, but now they are alive….
Growing in a garden near Winsted Ranch on Highway Five
They parted their leaves and began giggling when they were ready
Discovered last month by their benefactor, master gardener named Freddy.

He was fretting at the time about whether he could keep his farm going.
Not seeing at the time this is the way God had his future growing.
Now everyone and their partner wants a selfie with the Cabbage Patch dolls.
Freddy has made this into a destination place; he gets all kinds of calls.

Girl Scout Troops and Girls on the Run have him booked through twenty-six.
He has been able to pay off all of his debt, and is no longer in a “fix”.
Freddy is grateful to the Cabbage Patch dolls, he would like to keep them all.
“But we want to go with the girls!” They argue. This is their battle call.

Ignition

"Ignition"



Magic sits with you 
you wait and you listen 
for messages from the other side

this is true
this addiction impressive

you write her your gift
you whisper words as you write,
she sees you, she listens

very close
always present
you can't see her, she's missing

you write him his riff
some ephemeral missive
he is in accord, in his truth, he is implicit

a ghost 
sits with you 
empathically diligent

you look at life
and wonder where it is
wiping away the tears 

you cry 
then you grieve

she sighs 
phantom sighs

he looks over his shoulder 
there is no one there
yet he smiles

passion fire reigns 
in your hands
you hold it in close
 
to move all the wild horses 
you whisper ever nearer 
towards you 

sentences, 
corrals to be open
in all your fierce dreams, 

you hold onto believe
wild creatures 
can never be tamed

they must
of their own free will
come to you

they shall advance;
Love’s gift 
always commands

picture this vision
the world lives inside you
asleep not yet risen

within you the dormant key 
waits for its driver
it anxiously turns 

like a fretting 
child 
in its sleep

woken
ignition

to drive off the plateau 
no longer asleep
without fear of Love

into the 
Deep

“Love of Strings” / Moby
https://youtu.be/tdo7s16l04g






“This is what I believe: 
That I am I. 
That my soul is a dark forest. 
That my known self 
will never be more 
than a little clearing in the forest. 
That gods, strange gods, 
come forth from the forest 
into the clearing of my known self, 
and then go back. 
That I must have the courage
to let them come and go. 
That I will never let mankind
put anything over me, 
but that I will try always
to recognize and submit 
to the gods in me 
and the gods 
in other men and women. 
There is my creed.”
D.H. Lawrence

Despite scarcity and poverty crises-lies
So that we can seek His welfare-care replies
Really treated within His abundant benefit-slice.

Premium Member Love? Bah!

All these insipid poems of Love
Love Lost….
Love Found….
What is this emotion that makes UP? Down?

All this frantic fretting
nail biting and bed-wetting.

What is this profound poetic notion?
What is the source of this commotion??

All these romantic, rabid, ramblings, of Love
Love Lost..
Love Found…
What is this emotion that makes UP? Down?

Palms pale and sweat,
brows furrow and frown.

All these horrid, hormonal, tizzies,
do little more than make one dizzy.
Love Lost…
Love Found…
Abandon this morose emotion 
right this curse, set in motion.

And, if I may, let me suggest, 
the route Narcissus took was best.
Love revealed…
Love found.
A love who’ll never let you down.

A love without product or prodigy
To fill the world with more dichotomy.
