Scars

I can see the smiles all over your face and something is telling me that you have found a new date, what could be so revealing when a new year’s resolution throws you all over the place, you walk by in a hurry with a pleasing personality and there is something so different about you it is as if your long-awaited dreams have come through. 

 Your spirit is bold, your steps are firm, and you are ready to take on the world. I can’t tell if it’s real because I am viewing it from the side of my computer screen. 

Some things look larger than life and what you see on the screen can be very deceiving. I can put on an eye glass on your face, and I can change the color of your race, I can make you look younger and make you look stronger with the technology in my fingers. 

I can see your smile evoking pity with the divine and there is something different about you that cause everyone to click when you start a conversation, you have that mesmerizing voice, baked in the spirit of manipulation and if you asked for a wish, I would tell you that you already have it in your dish. 

There is something that is different about you that cause me to think, It is the way you maneuver your body when you stand at the kitchen sink, the brief flash back moment you had holding the umbrella and standing next to the natural juice vendor at the street corner. 

I kept seeing that image everyday with you holding the mug on the StreetSide and the rats running around in the bushes and the dogs barking in the streets. You can lip sing in South Africa and your voice can be heard all the way in America, you can shout from the back bushes with the same voice and the sound can come out from someone else’s mouth, let the ventriloquist tell you what it is all about, some voices are deceiving not everyone can sing the amazing grace hymn. 

More than a century ago when civilization was just getting out, men of valor walked upon the face of the earth searching for an answer; they got it quite alright, but they had to put up a long vicious fight and then they walk around the bewildering town scattering garbage all around trampling the dignity of the city to the ground and the earth began to shake. 

I can see the smile on your face, it’s as if you are holding up the entire human race; your heart is big, your spirit is bold but deep down the wounds are festering in your soul.

The Escape Route

Down many of the coalmines in Yorkshire , Safety dictated that an alternative means of escape
had to be found just in case anything ever happened to the shafts that raised and lowered miners to their work.
This usually involved keeping a single route open underground to the next nearest colliery .


Old George waiting by the mineshaft 
Spitting his chewing tobacco juice 
Today with his apprentice 
They must survey the mines escape route . 

1000 yards underground  
In darkness as black as pitch 
They reach up to their helmets
Turning on the headlamp switch.

George prodding at the timbers 
That support the roof and sides
His apprentice grows more nervous
With every single stride .

A mile down the escape route 
The roof is seven feet high
They see a little fallen rock
but manage to squeeze by .

The roof is getting lower
George hears the scurrying of mice 
Brought down the mine in bales of hay
When pit ponies and the miners destiny were spliced.

The apprentice is visibly shaking 
but only one more mile to go 
When a piece of falling timber 
Dealt his torch battery a glancing blow.

George could see the boys panic
and as the leader of his team 
He reassured his apprentice
Then they shared the single beam .

Suddenly they hear a crack like thunder
Then the splintering of wood 
George pushes his apprentice 
but a fall of rock stands where George stood.

Young boy on his hands and knee's
Screaming Georges name
More terrified by the second 
When no answers came.

Now in total blackness 
He inhabits the world of the blind 
If he is to help his leader
The boy must use his senses and his mind .

The faintest hint of breezes
He feels on his face 
Air sucked down the mineshaft
Just might be his saving grace 

He crawls along the jagged floor 
Using his sense of touch 
Soon in the distance he hears machinery
A sound he has never loved so much .

He tastes the ever freshening air
Hope inside him grows
Then the tiniest speck of flickering light
His tears overflow. 

Help,  Help,  he's calling 
As the miners come into view
Two men want to hep him to the surface 
Burt he awaits his friends rescue.

Old George didn't make it 
He sacrificed himself to save the boy
Broken hearted the boy had a breakdown 
and had to leave the mines employ.

The boy became a father 
Then a wonderful granddad 
but he never tired of telling the story
of the best friend he ever had.

Premium Member To Eat Apeach

To Eat A Peach

Spring is here.
The delicate tree blossoms replace
     the delicate white lights of Winter.
From the petals fruit will grow.

Pears, plums, apricots, cherries,
       nectarines...
Peaches.

I set the unripe soft rose and yellow
    orb on the windowsill.
Two days later I tenderly lift it 
    and gently squeeze its warmth before 
    I wash it.

Biting into it...
     the sweet liquid is Ambrosia.
The juice runs down my chin onto          
     my tee.
I greedily suck the peach’s flesh dry.

I daydream as I munch.
Peach cobbler, peach pie with a lattice crust, 
peach shortcake, peach muffins, 
stewed peaches, peach tea bread, 
slices on your cereal, slices in a bowl with cream.

OR...only for dessert?
How would a 
       chicken breast soaked in a peach marinade taste? 
My taste buds begin chattering.

Summer’s here!
corn on the cob, okra, tomatoes: 
small ones that pop in your mouth 
and big beefy wedges that
garnish crisp celery slices, carrot medallions, 
tender Bibb lettuce, sliced mushrooms, cucumbers, 
asparagus, broccoli, Vidalia onions, cauliflower...

Watermelon, blueberries, cantaloupe, 
      strawberries, honeydews, raspberries...

Juicy hot dogs, spicy barbecue, thick charbroiled hamburgers, 
hot German potato salad, 3-bean salad, macaroni salad, 
potato chips and French onion soup dip, 
soft pretzels dipped in brown mustard, popcorn...

chocolate chip cookies, Snickerdoodles, 
strawberry shortcake, 
chocolate cake with red, white and blue frosting for the 4th, 
apple pie
  — softball, Mom, doggies —

I awake with a start. There is drool 
      on my pillow.
Another day begins but it’s really 
       not another day.
It’s the same day I’ve been living                          
       since 1 May 2017 ~
The day I let the dentist pull 
       out the last 5 teeth I had 
       in my lower jaw.

And as I come to consciousness 
       my tongue pushes
       against and spills out over the 
       the soft toothless tissue that burns constantly 
       and is covered in a thick gooey saliva ~ place a     
       teaspoon of Elmer's
       glue in your mouth ~ if
       you care to have a taste
       of my reality.

Summer’s here. 
Clear your palate.
Clean your plate.

Strangers

The slowing whine as it came to rest
A spacecraft settled down
Like a mother bird into its nest
Glowing there green and round

Smoke spewed from open ports
The air smelled of gas
Little men came out of doors
And laid upon the grass

There soon formed a crowd from town
Peering at this awesome sight
The spacecraft there coming down
And glowing in the night

The mayor spoke and said he knows
What to feed these creatures green
They feed on French tomatoes
And drink the juice of beans

This is why they landed here
By this garden in the grass
But first to have a nice cold beer
From a large and frosty glass

Now arrived the TV news
Those men of truth renowned
And started doing interviews
To spread the word around

Camera trucks and many more
Big frames of antennae
Microphones  by the score
And dishes ten feet high

Beaming waves of HD pics
Popping flashes all around
Sending data high speed flicks
Of the creatures on the ground

Throbbing cables glowing hot
Plugged in every place
Trying to get a camera shot
Of the first from outer space

To scoop this scene
Would guarantee
A place for them
In history


If one could see from outer space
The light from each ones screen
Glowing back in every face
As they peered at those men green

Then finally in a casual way
One begun to speak
In a manner rather cool to say
We come to here in peace

Our trip was going very well
Between some outer stars
When a passenger ask do you sell
Those peanuts grown on mars?

I am the steward here
I serve folks while we fly
Bean juice and good cold beer
And peanuts you can buy

Many times our flights are long
My supply of things run out
We know if things go wrong
The captain starts to shout

We had just crossed the great black sea
A dreadful place to span
This chap had then just beckoned me
For bean juice, another can!

I opened up the saucers store
To take his order back
And It was empty, was no more
The captain blew his stack

We were only half way there
How long here who knows
But the captain does not care
If we need  French tomatoes

Our snifter found your plot
This garden full of greens
French tomatoes all you’ve got
And the juice squeezed from beans

Fear not earthling creatures
And even though we’re green
Maybe strange our features
But our nature is not mean

Steward sir, get the door
Our loading it is done
We now have filled our store
Goodbye ..to everyone!

Premium Member Cowperson versus Jaws

I went to the Hollywood studio meeting
Paul, Steve and Sandy gave me a warm greeting
I was there to advise them, hired from Spain
My motto in business was no pain, no gain
So we sat down to the business at hand
Their movies were sinking, like stones in quicksand.

"How about a cowboy movie," I said...
"Good guys and bad guys with the latter shot dead!"
A gasp of wonder spread to them all
"Why didn't we think of that?" said Paul

Said Sandy, who though rich, struck me as obtuse
"It has to be woke, it must have juice
The cowboy, we'll call him Abdul McPherson
No, wait, we should refer to him as a CowPerson
His love interest should be black or brown
A birthing person, the soul of the town
The villains name could be Donald McKnight
A Donald Trump stand-in, got to be white."

"Wait," said Steve, "cis-male is a relic."
Abdul should be tender, gender-fluid and angelic."
Steve looked at his reflection in the table of mahogany
Added "How about hints of consensual non-monogamy?"
Sandy said "No! We must push the edge with our fans!
Every character, even the horse, must be trans!"

I was sarcastic, I said "for a true creative spark
We know Spielberg had a hit long ago about a shark,
Maybe stick one in the film, somewhere in the sagebrush
A gasp spread around the table, an awestruck hush

Paul shouted, "that's it!  Cowperson versus Jaws!
A fable about transgressing natures laws!
Lets start shooting tomorrow, drop that Batman remake:
With this kind of theme, we can't make a mistake!"

Despite guaranteed payment, I was feeling sick
I already knew there was no hope for this flick
But they got so thrilled, they made their bet
Sunk investor millions, their studio further in debt.

I gathered my fees, went back to Spain
And  "Cowperson versus Jaws" circled down the drain
To my horror in the credits, they mentioned my name
I was jeered in Madrid, couldn't face the shame.

Paul, Steve and Sandy did fine at the bank
Woke investors kept funding, though the movie stank
Though audiences felt under a dentist's drill
The Critics said the movie was epic, groundbreaking, a thrill.

Geologists say that one day, California will fall into the sea
Its already happened; Hollywood is a parody
Showdown at Noon but no Gary Cooper, can't find John Wayne
Woke Bandits have stolen the gold off the movie train.

Kris Kringle Kisses Kalliope

"Kris Kringle Kisses Kalliope"

A Dream: the 4th Christmas.





deck the halls 
with memories
poets whisper pasts
that are ne’er forgotten

where presents 
a life 
that’s neatly wrapped
and attempts at 

frostily forgotten 

tucked under
that big 
beautiful
green fir tree

where all the dreams
of poets go
gold starred, tinselled
and angel mounted 

ripe cherries 
kissed
crassly
under mistletoe

Ah Christmas 
capture me up
in your safe
magic arms

let me sip 
the nectar from 
your sweet eggnog cups
like Puck’s flower flows

on sultry lips
and eyelids
“love-in-idleness”
"The juice of it 

on sleeping eyelids laid
will make man 
or woman 
madly dote

upon the next 
live creature 
that it sees”
poet or pup

crimson berries crushed
against a velvet tongue
bedazzled and 
bewitched

fires crackling 
logs like legs
drop and wrap around
the flames

while in my dreams
I await beneath 
the sugar coated 
blankets of a bed

charmed by snowflakes
dusting houses in a row
through misted windows
where “paper people....

dream 
their cardboard dreams”

“how unreal 
the whole thing seems
can we be living in a world
that is made of paper mache?

Everything is clean 
and so neat
anything that is wrong
can be just swept away”

inside is very still...
not shaken 
like a snowglobe -
surreal 

damned be
the dams of
Love-in-Idleness 
where eyes reflect

your shadow 
in my dream
like opium smoke
across cracked glass

remember how we 
all once were 
some beautiful happy
if we could just pull the chord

so fresh out of ...
class

rewind our time 
rewind it 
to yesterday
like a toy

across the 
ocean bobbing 
like a buoy
an Iceberg keens and cries

Nutcracker twirls 
Sugarplum 
Kris Kringle Kisses 
Kalliope

Oberon...

reals 
Titania in 
Slo mo’ 

Magic

mmm
Romance

lacy 
frosty
melting
snow.

An iceberg cries
in time with 
Christmas eyes

"There must have been some magic in
That old top hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around"

Premium Member O, Light

~ Oh, maiden of light cracks the wispy air open ,
wandering around viscous spaces
like virgin shadow caressing the edge
of sleep… and the days stretch longer,
taller than guava trees dreamingly shedding
laces of northeast streams when
songbirds, orbits, and a pageant of flowers listen
to a single humming breeze…  and when all else
is sprawled quiet, waterfalls marry her certain 
lingering star straying on mouths of gentleness
past eons bound by nuptials in iridescent realms…

*O, ilaw, sa gabing malamig, wangis mo'y
bituin sa langit… O, tanglaw, sa gabing tahimik,
larawan mo, Neneng, nagbigay pasakit. Ay! *

Somehow ,curlicues drape a fragrant smoke
leaking out a folk sky;  dancing in the mirror
of the mountain pool…  a serenade weeps;
quivering, moaning along the inland pass that
someone said morning becomes electra,
that learning how to hear  her blossom  or
pearl stone unravels the very skin from
which it was born is allowing time to
shed her purity  far beyond unknowing a
water’s need to keep still:  the juice spills…

**Gising at magbangon sa pagkagupiling 
sa pagkakatulog na lubhang mahimbing;
buksan ang bintana at ako'y dungawin, 
nang mapagtanto mo ang tunay kong pagdaing. * *

 Peeling new faces of time, shaping the width of
endless rhyme in sprays of endless mystery...
like so, a thousand times before and after,
twilight and daybreak entwine… oh,light elusive,
passing through calm eyes of young maiden’s season

is love’s way of coming back to itself. ~



--------


* O, light, in the cold night; you're like a star in the sky
O, light, in the quiet night, your picture, Neneng,
makes one ache…. Oh!


** Awake and arise from slumber,
from your sleep so deep.
Open your window and look out to me
So that you may understand my true lament.


~ this poem is inspired by a harana,  a traditional Filipino serenade. The suitor
 is accompanied by his friends who back him up both vocally.
  At first, the woman's window is closed. The man calls out to her
 and if she's interested, she'll open her window.
Singing harana originated during the Spanish
 colonial period in the Philippines.~

For Debbie’s Bi-lingual Poetry by nette onclaud

Pineapple Pride

I was walking through the pineapple row and a thorn stick me on my middle toe, I bend down low to remove it and I almost fell into the ditch, I didn’t know what to do and so I start chanting an unfamiliar tune. It has no rhythm or verse, but it was sufficient to break the curse.

 The hidden doctor came from behind the door and the choreographer crawl from underneath the second floor, the pianist was embarrassed to hold up his head they thought that the entire universe was dead; everything was silent around them, and blood was dripping from his hand what on earth is going on?   you have to come and do the final dance. It’s called the swing.

Big bright lofty pineapple with ripe colors and succulent smell penetrates the walls and roofs spilling its juice over the place and I open my mouth wide to take it in but I had to go back to where it all begins.

 The pineapple field is wide it has thousands of pineapples that is piling up to the sky, the rows are long, the roots are strong, and I want you to help me compose this new song.

The words are simple, and I love your dimples your enigmatic smile has lit up the entire sky, you have brought me to this place to create this song so let’s get together and sing along. 

Don’t put too much solitude into it, I want some joy, modern and contemporary sound the twist and the fling and a little of the solemn hymn.

I want you to change that verse and lament on the stolen purse, the pineapple upside down cake is easy to bake, so spread the cake mix into dish and blend the sugar into the butter and whip up the eggs and pour it in. 

Place the pineapple slices in the bottom of the tin and pour the mixture in, put it in the oven and make it bake at a temperature of a 350-degree Fahrenheit and when it’s done turn it upside down and place a cherry in the center and send it over to my lover.

She walks with pride through the gate, he has been waiting for her at the door with a bouquet of flower laced in assorted color; he greets her with a kiss, and she smell the flowers and smile and he took her to a neatly dress table and pour Champaign in a glass and he said, “you have come home at last”.

 They sat down and stare at each other’s pride and write the final verse with their eyes. We shall be together until we die, and they complete the final song together.

From the Elephant's Diary

From the Elephant's diary


You find me giantly like Gulliver, huge and obese
but I met my doc, he said take it with ease....
for you big is more beautiful so eat more cheese
I am on my diet of sugarcane juice,
lush green grass n' tons of bamboos
Mammoth was my forefather not anymore seen
Now I know being gigantic is in my genes
Instructor at the gym shooed me away
for I broke his treadmill with my single step I say
We love to have our bath in nature's pool
We dabble water with our trunk till we are all cool
A relaxing shower for all friends after hectic schedule!
In our forest club, trophy for best music band,
we won last week for our trumpet troupe!

               Large is our family my Jumbo uncle says,
               Old and wise he is in our tuskers' herd
               He says our eyes are small, to see
               only little good left in this big bad world
               And our ears are large to fan away
               the gossips and bad we hear
               Thick skin we do have so called pachyderms
               to shrug off the  hurling vices of the woods
               but we have a large heart to spread
               loads of love to all species widespread

In history, we have a place reserved 
for in wars and royal processions, 
we were used as pride symbols he says 
Revered animals we are since eons.....
In country called India, heritage animal we are
and even worshipped in religious places he says!
Huge boulders or logs ,mankind used us for transport 
We even entertain them in zoos and circus

               But he regrets that we are poached, killed by men 
               to pull out pair of our incisors called tusks
               who polish to make precious ivory to earn bucks
               So useful and harmless friends to humans we are
               I asked my uncle why so cruel the men are?
               He said men show their power 
               of being Nature's superior creature 
               we elephant folk are helpless giants
               We can do nothing but to pray that 
               we be valued for our selfless services and
               be saved from going extinct from this world!
