Chimney smoke,
One grim and early morning in the very midst of
Decembers briefest days, on the highest slope,
Toiling through my daily round; where, slowly

Behind the drab uniforms. The one who was plain, but whose,
Heart beat fervently and yearned for glory. When proud marches,
Passed his way, their...

My hair is mostly white with streaks of black here and there
My white hair marks me as “aged” --- is that fair?

Unwarranted Uninvited Party Pooper Dinner Guest

This would be just another one

With a stream of boring associates and
their plus 1 partner or other

Sir Ernest Shackleton
Born in Ireland in eighteen seventy four
He was a remarkably brave explorer
Three times to Antartica he did go
To that barren wilderness of ice and snow.
Once with Captain Scott and twice on his own
And it was...

Another World
Deep in the forest was an inaccessible cliff
that soared high above the tall tree canopy.

yet the landscape was so inhospitable none dared
to try to reach the impassable cliff...

Rejected Stanzas From Third Person
He's so phoney in poems, moaning only,
same tone, same story,
a war he can't endure anymore that beats him sore and sorry,
exploring his core for strength absent before in writes of sheer folly.
Wanting to write powerfully...

Glimmers In the Abyss
In the ocean’s vast and boundless deep, where light begins to cease,
A world of silent shadows casts a spell of tranquil peace.
Abyssal creatures, luminous with bioluminescent glows,
Paint streaks of light amidst the dark, where the...

The truth not fictional
If you don't get the principle
Then it's not clearly visible
No it was not biblical
Or mythical
Zero to do with being political
Yet they'll treat you like a criminal
Making themselves look cynical
By being analytical

Care For Mother Earth and Her Everything

Encroaching on privileges animals and plants possess
In their comfort and...

Chile
Endless purple flowers
and salt pools like polished mirrors
give color to the desert
and reflect the clear blue sky---
disguising with their beauty
the poor soil and salinity
of wastelands inhospitable,

Wrapped in a serape,
and sipping chocolate´,

Earth's Spiritual Bodies
A religious voice,
spiritual culture,
sacred climate,
teaching and preaching at the lesser informed and unwise,
more invested in monocultural self-promotion
than co-invested in multicultural listening
and comparative discernment,
choosing more condemning pedantic forms of becoming
over ecotherapeutic reasons for being,

Stars Tempt Our Senses
It was time to visit the stars
To embrace them with my senses
Though the price was astronomic
I saved up for the expenses
Most think stars are unreachable
Due to the heat that they emit
But perhaps they’re very cautious

Cosmological Fantastical Imemorial Lil Opus
aswirl within tremendous maelstroms
universal united uninhabitable cauldron
tempered with analogous:
outrageous, portentous
thunderous cacophony in tandem
with thick mucilaginous fog
metaphorically postpartum
nebulous placenta afterbirth
and/or proto planets aborted
