The Bard of the Cotton Fields

Attached to the trees,
...of his mind’s fascination.
Caressing virgin pages 
With a borrowed pen.
Trapped in a time...
...of being owned by someone.
Where freedom was only, 
for the birds in the wind.

He’s heard of New York,
He’s heard of LA...
These are the thoughts,
He shares with the moon...
The humid day...
...blows dust on his face.
His father runs over,
 “Get ta pickin’ boy soon!!!”

The freedom has silenced,
Reality...came back to mind.
No one’s ready for the truth he uncovered, 
Not even the land...that he proudly calls home.
Freedom does exist...
Within the mind of a poet.
Not just in the sky... 
Where the freedom bird’s flown.

At his father’s request,
He starts pickin’...pickin’ inspiration...
.. on desolate plantations of lies,
...of his father’s 40 acres and a mule.
Shackled to his dreams,
The wind whispers slavery’s sorrow...
Hummed by the workers abroad.
Lord, this boy’s not a cotton pickin’ fool.

Uneducated...his creations are sketches,
Poems in pictures of young boy dreams...
In the midst of slavery...he’s only a slave to his art, 
And only...on the page can he run and play...
His music...is the worker’s song ...pickin’ cotton blues,
The rhythm of chains, and whistles of security afar.
For now...he sneaks off to his muse...a shade tree,
Hiding from the hot Georgian sun at bay. 

While American kids ride their bicycles,
His recess is confined to his mind.
As the whistles grow farther into the distance,
It’s time for his imagination to play and run.
With bloody hands...he hums aloud,
Cooled by the un-racial breeze...caressing virgin pages...
...sketching his poems with a borrowed pen,
Under the very tree...where his forefather’s hung from...

Premium Member A Lovely Day In Narberth

Here we are in eastern Pembrokeshire
taking a wander round Narberth
a little market town on the A78
it's so lovely, I had to write a little verse

Its High Street has variety around
with Georgian and Edwardian multi colour
buildings of character, they are
echoes of beauty make them a stunner

Lilies coffee shop is a must
so helpful and happy to receive
cakes and light lunch so fab
coffee's marvel, you won't believe

Independent shops abound here
from deli food to fine art
woodland walks and sandy beaches
lie only minutes away to start

This has been a day most excellent
one to remember for many a day
memories are made of such as these
even to the point of wanting to stay

(Just looking back a few weeks ago on holiday in South Wales coast to a lovely town called Narberth.)

Incommodious Em Bare Ass Sing Accident

While out and about
an unexpected over bare ring bout
to defecate arose,
     where sphincter asserted clout
and would excrete
     despite without doubt...

if closing distance
     (to reach rental abode)
beaten out by loosening sphincter muscle
     transmitting excretory code

set sights on prowl for outlawed, secluded,
     and wooded make shift commode
and essentially for naught negating
     toddler toilet training, sans

     getting potty trained undone
     via my tushy ready to explode
and blast immense solid waste byproduct
     (oh...close to the size of Rhode Island)

thus a marathon race against time
found immediate readiness to pull off roadside
     to access make shift water closet
     generating image firmly in pooping mode

     grabbing hold of a tree trunk
     (a mini rocky horror picture show, -
     this analogy included for no particular reason

     other than as a non-sequitur)
     and also to convey, how I tried
     to allay distractions
     while painful contractions flowed
(perhaps approximating woman

     on verge of giving birth)
but...no matter, aye could envision,
     an ever increasing heavy m*****f****** load
hence approaching Highland Manor Apartments

     this chap abandoned
     prior simultaneous evacuation plan
     starkly aware probability for secluded spot sunk
(nonetheless, thy darting darting

     anguish, futile lizard like lookout,
     a geico Gekko whose cheeks did blush
     even for a measly Georgian bush
quickened nsync with rectal spasms

     visual scouting industrialized
     where backhoes didst crush
once a time sacred happy hunting grounds
     of native Americans, now royally flush

with newly built vinyl city re: urban sprawl a gush,
where cookie cutter houses long since bringing hush
     puppies muzzled, yet never the less and mush
a doo doo about nothing) except sprint

     ting to the verizon with a void push
immortalizing indigenous tribes ghosts rush
peopling infrastructure affixing
     urbanization with lamb basted, 
     and sigh lance warrior whoosh!

The Heart of Tbilisi

My heart lies in the countryside
under the Napa rainbow laying low.
Big bright rolling valleys it has divide 
The woods through which we will go.

I met an explorer near lake Bazaleti
With a small cottage on a vast land
The poor half-finished community in Svaneti
made memorable moments more demand. 

My heart lies in Tbilisi with one more kiss
build a wish to remove the blackening mist
whose soulful cries brought tears to my eyes, 
they swept downwards like the wintry visit.

Together we discover half-finished heaven, 
This ensemble of crafts in a crude cradle 
Perfectly finds the happiness of mind
In rural nature define a portrait as permissible.

That sheer breadth of beauty command,
Countryside brands picturesque snow cap,
Covered the Georgian mountain stand,
Of scenic lakes asleep and wake in a quiet nap.

Sundry variety of colours galvanized the look 
Of breath-taking beauty running into cliffs 
Fountain bliss, crisp with ageless water flock 
diffs down the slope of great granite rocks.

My heart lies in that half-finished heaven
This medieval land a most enchanting place,
Locked in high demand with the mystery given
Supra wine and the plate of nectar taste.

They soak uptown, in Nana’s kitchen home
Love has made the easiest way to get around  
Centuries of Kakheti wine becoming renown  
Trek through all the expansive places we found.

The Man Who Speaks With the Sky

Ode to President Jimmy Carter

The Georgian sky turns red and a man softens his gaze,
as he lets his thoughts drift.  Images of his life and times,
play against the crimson clouds, to live them once more.

The love of a good woman, can soften the edges of life,
and spin the fabric of its repose, to weave a tapestry,
that tells the story of a good man.

Who hasn't looked up, unblinking and played out
the story of their life and wondered if it made a difference?

There are some whose lives are an open book,
yet the cover will be awash in its simplicity.
History will declare its place in the annals of time,
as one where the hero is fulfilled with their love,
or lost under the blanket of obscurity.  Yet this man, 
who speaks with the sky, I suspect can already hear
the echo of the song the heavens sing,
of one whom the Master is well pleased!

Premium Member Part 1 April Fool Yah

1582 France switch from Julian calendar
To Georgian calendar
Does it matter
Then council of Trent
No pun intent
 Hindu calendar spring equinox
 I bet you thought this was a poem , but guess what
Failed to recognize 
The new year moved from April 1st to January first 
Butt of jokes 
Cruel pranks and hoaxs
Paper fish placed on their backs; Poisson d'avril;
Symbolized uncivilized
 Young gullible person reality really made fun of 
A  jokes by jokesters
I bet you thought this was a poem 
But guess what 
And this forum 
This did I mention
That I mentioned that I forget to give you attention


Nana Nana Nana haha yeah this is so cruel,.------------------------------->

Premium Member Monolithic Monuments

An ocean's depth lies between The Georgia Guidestones 
and England's Salisbury Plains, where Stonehenge stands.
Though they appear on different continents, they share
mysterious secrets that have never quite been explained.

Were they erected as a cryptic message for all of mankind,
or esoteric giants raised on earth, new or eons of years ago?
Commissioned by modern man or the hierarchy of occult?
Vertical, they stand, monoliths in fields of space and time,

Silent are the henges, forged in history, draped in moss
circular in shape, one age old set encircling the other. 
Praised as an archaeological wonder, aligning with the sun,
a healing place or time's gateway used by priest and Druids?

The Georgian stones appear to me as a set of double doors,
Inscribed on their surfaces are lines of grave warning and laws.
heralding "truth, beauty and love, passion faith and tradition." 
One distinct language, and a guide limiting world population.

Perhaps Stonehenge is just a monument to the dead, but that's
not the simple minded perception that rolls around in my head.
I believe there's something more significant to the ancient stones
that we can only conceive if the Druids want it made known.

Waking Up In a Stranger’s Flat

I open my eyes.
All around me,
everything is unfamiliar:
unfamiliar wallpaper,
unfamiliar white leather sofa,
unfamiliar country.
I moved here to teach,
and here I am learning
that I’m underprepared,
underqualified,
underdressed,
and hungover.
 
He wouldn’t let me leave last night,
you see.
As the party was dying,
I coloured his bathroom
with oversweet Georgian wine
and washed down chicken wings
that came back up.
He decided:
I could miss the last metro,
sleep on this atrocious sofa,
recover.
 
Of course,
now it’s 7am,
and I have to teach a class
of engineers,
bridge builders,
about ing phrasal verbs
in less than two hours.
And I have to do it
with a hangover and a smile.
 
I think to myself
as I struggle with front door locks and keys
before climbing out of a downstairs window,
what a strange story this will be.
And yet waking up here,
it could be a whole lot worse
than this beautiful Baku sunrise.

Boby Fatt's Adventure

Boby Fett’s adventures 

I used to be a friend of Joseph when he was a bank robber
when he robbed a bank in Tbilisi, I helped him to get away 
the money he said was to help his cause.
One can say he owed me a favour, which came in handy.
There was a revolution and Joseph became a president
that was ok, but he became brutal and one evening
when we sat drinking Georgian wine, we had a discussion 
I called him a butcher.
I thought I was going to be shot, but since he owed me a favour
I was sent to Siberia with a bag of potatoes.
Luckily, I had a box of matches in my pocket a knife hidden
in my shoe, therefore able to survive to the last potato.
A wandering Sami people with their heard of reindeers on 
the way to Scandinavia saved me.
For the Sami tribe, there is no border.
I took my old name back, Harry Finkelstein, a name I had kept
secret from Joseph, my friend from the bank robber days.
I got a job on the Manhattan project keeping tab of screws
needed to make a bomb, the rest is history.
