Long Inventiveness Poems

POETIC PREFACE:

An inner conflict dust brew
within this scribe, who offers ye to chew
(like sweet treats metaphorically) thee do
tee incumbent, when Doomsday clock
counts down minutes few
according Al Gore rhythm
unstoppably ticking,
when life gets turned to global goo
tenderized...

While daydreaming about timepiece inventors...
as the figurative curtain closes on 2022

and I would be hard pressed
to differentiate one moment
from the next without the...

Earth day 2020 – Wednesday, April 22

Bajillion banshees scream bloody murder methought
upon Biblical (lionized) forebears stalking heads
birthed courtesy accursed beasts hood besought
winds howl across the oblate spheroid
methinks courtesy Homo sapiens horror wrought.

My "FAKE" Genealogical Knighthood

Unbeknownst to me if royal
gilded crests comprised
my rusty dust caked coat of arms
hence, I take liberty successfully farms
productive crop to contrive fictitious
Medieval Age forebears
with favorable charms
strong agile hands

hurling crude accouterments
centuries prior to...

“METROPOLIS BLUES”

The elemental wind
curls in from the north east,
sublime salon creations in
disarray, in grimy profusion
inventiveness subsides.
The town clock strikes out,
within ear shot, a bench seat plays
host to a cast of thousands. 
Soon! succulent rotting form...

How can I change what has already been changed?
Everything has been tried over a thousands ways,
and there my perplexing question lays...
without a persuasive answer connecting the flow of words
to a revelation that necessity has invoked!

The soft paint brush delicately strikes
the right spots with uniqueness...
when your pensive glances project
with precision,skill and persistance,
to paint another image of reminiscence
and the colors are so iridiscent!

The features of that woman, so elusive,
are fine,graceful and...

As real as our concepts seem, 
not one of us is alike in thoughts,
in ways of doing things...  
or even creating an impressive masterpiece;
billions of minds shaped by their own inventiveness!

Different missions

The accusation has been made,

A quick and easy (makeshift, albeit very temporary)

Along the river's bank the footprints linger
Not again, but towers nude rise to scanty skies
The first people gone now, the harbinger
Of the sultry end to paradise.

Stirred, I close...

Pretending can be a bold form of experimentation
and inventiveness. In pretending joy or happiness,
we may discover or enhance our capacity for it.

paper on an easel, a whirlpool on a sheet
letting emotions explode into poetry,
explores the realm of cryptical and mystery
Crafting verbal art saps one's inventiveness.

There is greatest burglary

No one is directly responsible

There is no design wall to entrap the spirit
Inventiveness is born to last
free of prosody or syllable count
coordinated refrains hide bareness, a virtue

EMPTY SPACE
