The First Thanksgiving, September 3, 1578

The First Thanksgiving (Sept. 3, 1578)

Lay to the north to the South Sea. 2
Didn’t Barlow tell the King, 3
Was reserved for England.

The routes ‘round...

Tortured by desire to understand
The world and the God’s mind 
Like a fearless seasoned sailor 
He embarked an elegant boat 
Of extreme mental endeavor

An Average Schlepper

This fool doth not consider himself wise,

to read and/or actualize

lobbying showy words agonize

Terra Incognita

My reefs look dazzling in the dawn light.
A sea of hypocrisy and lies that we must fight.
They are held to what they are allowed to view,
And yield when they grip their identity and hue.

Throbbing Sentimental Pangs Trigger Nostalgic Memories of Yesteryear Uno

Mine emotionally fraught days of yore
spilt presentiment tinged blood
into sucker punched battle fatigued
war weary veteran.

He (yours truly) doth
presently ramble, scrabble, and trundle
across gutted landscape
strewn with psychological potsherds.

Oppressive alienation hashtags me as outcast,
where new born babes...

Peering beyond reach of human capacity
I revolve around the sun in a solar orbit,
Looking deep in space for origins of bygone
Going way beyond anyone has ever gone,
Exploring unknown world of astronomy
Searching light from first stars...

I gently beckon inspiration
for dalliance with mother tongue
English Language, each

familiar to yours truly symbolized
by panoply, sans twenty six letters,

When he told me I was a hypocrite
I found myself praying for God’s intervention
For the assurance that I wasn’t being
A hypocrite – a fraud,...

Imaginations Distance

by Michaelw1two

Inspired by Lucia Szigeti

 Thought, an idea distant,
 across voids of words in rhyme;

 to accretion in cosmic time;
 feelings seed mind comparative,
 in singular beings prime;
 Terra incognita, they thrive

Over the tame waters of a tranquil bay
And landed in a magic isle
Never set foot before by anyone alive

Far removed from world’s dust and...

where wealth beyond tale can conceive. 
With rivers deep and mountains sheer

Terra Incognita

So strange this land, old and yet young.
Where is this place of tall green trees,
and grey-haired men in unknown tongue?
they must have traveled summer's breeze.

Adobe brick quonset "chalets"
mud-soaked roadways in all the blocks.
WACs and wives...
