Kismet

Due to his callous disregard, he divided her intent
       Wanting to be loved was rapidly replaced
       With needing to be nurtured

       
       Windscreen scorch, midday duco seared her palms
       A lost Christmas scarab lurid green beetle
       Gripped Flora's taut forearm


       Future she craved wavered toward steely necessity
       Untitled as lucre of lake illusion luminous
       Looming in her frontal lobe


       Angel held urns runneth over, soma sportula pour
       Treacle tips intoxicating as cherry kirsch 
       Accommodation on aileron

       
       Conveyed from kookaburra sarcasm to city suzerain
       Mirror tower monuments collide in clouds
       Encourage worldwide rivalry

      
       Flora's inclination for comfort drives acute delirium 
       Arid Arab cobalt coast melts cultures mosaic
       Gamey gourmet, cutlery gleam

     
       Her new wrist cuffed, convict of antique timepiece
       Lost Duat archived exchange rate temporal
       Khepra hands kissed henceforth

Rabbits

"Rabbits"

down the rabbit hole 
we go 

looking 
for what, we are yet 
to find and fully know

love leads us through
we look back for a little while
we observe shadow’s sad reflections

calling out to us 
in the setting sun
we turn away, face forward, 

we've just begun

we are at the intersection
and the Pooka 
whispers -

"there’s no place like home"
"there's no place like home"
"there's no  place like home"

time pulls us in, it runs 
like a rabbit, fast 
that ridiculous rabbit runs

breeds 
urgency
a trite necessity

we’ve now opened emerald gates 
our journey rumbles us
into the bejewelled jungle

familiars give us trouble
we fall in love fast
we bleed and stumble

we get up again
along the road
we grow, 

we try for a while
to be sensible,
we try to be humble

humour winks,
and warns

invisible
rabbits

are trouble

Premium Member The Necessity

She built a sailing ship from quarried limestone.
Vacancy for about a thousand restless crows.
Year after year, "The Necessity" steadily progressed.
Twenty-four and SEVEN without yearning for prayer or rest.

She was elegant and beautiful like white virgin gold.
But years of pauper toil always demand a royal toll.
Thinning soul and hunched bones she hungrily attacked.
Through drought, whirlwinds and Devilish thunderclaps.

She placed half a carrot atop the limestone mast.
by far the brightest jewel of her black powder past.
Dragging the beating vessel 'neath seagull serenade.
A pinch of salted MEMORIES left melting in the rain.

She slowly crawled aboard... a parrot's diary in hand.
Waiting for black waters to swallow up the burning path.
"The Necessity" was launched with a bleeding of champagne. 
A christening of a new constellation called the death of chronic pain.

Stronger

Author Dana Redricks
April 11, 2022

I'm stronger not because I work out, or any physical thing. My life has made me stronger from the hardship that it often brings. I've struggled, I've done without, and I've dealt with pain both mental and physical. Hardship makes us learn and also builds our character. I've learned to choose which battles I want to fight, and which battles are not worth my time. My spirituality is a necessity which I find my strength. It is God's comfort and guidance that gets me through each day. Life has a way of breaking us, or making us stronger. I have decided that I will give it my all rather I stand, or fall. But when I fall I'm determined to rise.

Premium Member Grains In Need

Our digestive system is starting to hurt
We thoroughly deemed this void
As if we're crashing from a Pyramid in, revert
An urgent necessity that must be spoiled
The earth is shifting to sand in an islet desert
Land beheld through the lens of greed boiled.

Unless we dig ourselves out of dismal dirt
We are going to hurt the crashing avoid
Giving you a speck of buoyancy exerts
You should sow it since it's a seed poised

I request a grain and am granted a sight
I require a piece and am granted the right
When I ask for a roll, I get paper insight

When I seek exegesis, I am said of my gut delight
I will be attentive to the light
When I pray to the realm, the gates reveal the site.

How Can I Change What Has Already Been Changed?

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!
 
What else can I write when every subject 
has already been written about by those illustrious writers?
But there's never a shortage of inventiveness...
that's found in the intellectual cleverness
that's only found in their depth!

How can I possibly replace the gentle pen which flows,
from an imagination so genuine and free?
I'll complete my sentences that wouldn't be an object of envy
of those written in the dreadful eras of restricted liberty;
one must bring more realism to questionable stories!   

What new thoughts will be expressed by this mind, 
not to imitate or infringe upon those writers' works lauded by society; 
and give them proper credentials for their creativity...
one can't help being inspired and transformed by their originality,
great writers or composers wouldn't excel without the precedent! 

How can I speak of fairness, if I don't practice it myself? 
My human side should be compassionate;
take on that unprejudiced and forgiving look...
I,too, I'm subject to faults and replete with regret;
when my conscience isn't reminded of death!  
 
What can I create from those eight notes
that await the awakening of inspiration from me?
For hours and hours my fingers will pound tirelessly...
on this piano, to write that unforgettable melody
that somebody will hear and play many times! 


How can I change what has already been changed?
I'll risk it all by revealing my unfortunate events... 
contesting their wills and connoting their faults!

Country Named Absurd Cordel

Country named land of the absurd
             mix truth and lie
             whoever speaks the truth is mute
              falsehood here is all quite right
              Lie the politician and the priest
             the judge and the witness falsify
             prevaricate simply and shamelessly
            and indulge themselves with impunity...
             lying here is a real necessity
             to deserve honor, glory and love...!


                                 II
               Here the lie has long legs
                here the truth wears short pants
                there is further truth to the prostitute speech
                than the political speech that is preach,
                or the ideological word that delays...
                It's worth further sincere cheating
                 than a tie posing to be severe...
                 The faker who barks easier than a dog
                 or wiser pretending to be a prude
                 to deceiving everyone just one borg...!

Premium Member Come and Find Me In My Solitude

Follow the path that runs through the dale
Where it turns leading down by the spring
Lush ferns and ivies line the trail
Nearly everything bites or stings

The dogwood blossoms and the redbud trees
Paint splotches of pink and white
Their aromas wafting on a lazy breeze
Awakening the senses with delight

Gray squirrels and chipmunks will timidly hide
The birds will announce your arrival
An intruder alert which nature provides
A necessity for their survival

Over the ridge,  into the ravine
Where moss covered rocks are chairs
That's where I'll be, by the gurgling spring
Come and find the  solitude there.

Integrated Necessity

Together we connect with
Out of step see
Maybe mixed might may
It be that seed we plant
Informed reform rob unites
We see to be or nay say we
Claim too lame we disclaim a relevant
Release at these exchanges that
Open up at ease without
Need for rearranging
Lost we succeed too
Many other nights.
But last we yesterday. ..
And be what it just may
And back to my old shelf.
I work and plague for days.
Viewed differently than today

Claim to lame to disclaim.
No need release exchange
We see to be or nay.

Mixed up might may
But last we yesterday.

And be what it just may. ..

Premium Member The World In Pause

Incessant motion and constant innovation, 
Are the defining features of our modern generation,
The hustle and bustle that drives our economy,
Also help us avoid the ghost of monotony.

But even the great God of all the nations,
After six days of His many creations,
Took time to rest on the seventh day, 
As an example for the world to follow alway.

Six days you should labor is His command,
And rest on the seventh is His demand,
When this day of worship and rest we observe,
We give Father, Son, and Spirit the honor they deserve.

You may say that in today’s economy this is not feasible,
But I would point you to what Corona has shown is possible,
Our economies have almost ground to a halt,
Even though it is not due to our own fault.

Only businesses deemed to be a necessity,
Remain open during this global calamity,
Millions of people who were working before,
Are not gainfully employed anymore.

Businesses once thriving, their doors had to shutter,
Streets that were once buzzing with activity and human chatter,
Are now strangely silent and almost deserted,
And our busses and trains are no longer crowded.

Events long planned have been cancelled or postponed,
Our sports heroes can’t display the skills they have honed,
People once free to move when they wish,
Have been ordered to stay in and not be selfish.

And what is the reason, Oh, what is the cause,
Of this rare phenomenon of a world in pause?
It was ordered by our leaders and enacted by laws,
Designed to check the spread of Covid and close his devouring jaws.

So, when this nightmare is over, and things to normal return,
I hope we will trust God, and his law no more spurn,
By laboring six days and working because,
He said work for six days and on the seventh take a pause.

Don’t wait till world leaders enforce Sunday laws in disasters’ wake,  
To convince us to rest for the environment’s sake,
God’s law will not change till the heavens the SON shall burst,
He said rest on the seventh and not on the first.
