Necessity Is the Mother of Invention

Necessity is the mother of invention

Leave us to our creativeness
Cos our necessity 
Is our drive 

We he nothing to lose 

Yes nothingness means 
Something 
Were necessity is obvious

So leave us to our creativeness
Cos is obvious you can save 
Us from our foolishness 


Our deformity 
Was from your failures

And now your lack of 
Leadership is obvious
To the world 

So leave us to our creativeness
Let our time be the beginning
Of a chance of our old 
Era 

Our necessity is obvious
To the world 
So leave us alone 
We are  pregnant for an invention
From the womb of the necessity
Your impregnated through your 
Failed leadership

Premium Member Critterature: a Bee In My Bonnet

Behold the busy bumblebee
Gathering pollen and nectar, his treasure.
He transports it home
To be stored in a comb
For his queen to dine on at her leisure.

How doth the humble bumblebee
Manage all that he does without stumbling?
He toils night and day,
Earning minimum pay,
Her commands he'll obey without grumbling.

Wherefore's he called a "bumble bee"?
Throughout all that rough and rowdy tumbling
Industriousness is no quirk,
There's no task he will shirk,
So, don't smirk, he is anything but "bumbling".

In a thriving hive of buzzin' bees
Will reside several dozen cousin bees,
All of whom are humble bees,
And very busy bumblebees,
Knee-deep in bees' activities
And apian proclivities
That show their main necessity
If just to bee or not to bee.

Fall

Cooler breezes give us relief from the stifling heat,
A signal autumn is coming, and summer is in full retreat.

Leaves on the trees turn yellow, orange, red and brown,
As the days grow shorter, they eventually find their way to the ground.

As temperatures continue to cool, animals prepare for the cold months ahead,
Birds, reptiles, and mammals make ready for longer nights and shorter days instead.

Diminished daylight triggers an internal clock,
Signaling waterfowl to fly south, virtually non-stop.

Monarch butterflies commence migrating to their winter home,
Flying thousands of miles, their wings beating in cadence to an internal metronome.

As days pass, daylight shrinks and nighttime expands,
Driven by the earth’s voyage around the sun as we have come to understand.

As the outdoor world starts changing, all plants and animals adjust,
Preparing for the formidable winter ahead is a necessity, a must.

Plants start dropping seeds while animals gather food stores - their pre-winter haul,
It’s that time of year again, a time we call Fall.

Sue S Side Almost Won Out As the Tomb Poem

Sue S. Side Almost Won Out As The Tomb Poem...
(alternately titled: a page taken from the play
book of Little Miss Muffet.)

"Oh...My...Argh..." "Somebody...
     Please...ease...help...me...ee"..., and
then dead silence, this comprises,
     the sole thread bare strand
i.e. plaintive desperate plea – recorded

     by emergency 911 agent Brand
N. Burg-Harris, a close family member
     of the deceased, who
     (said relation) hand
dully appeared aghast, shell shocked,

     white as a ghost,
     et cetera damned
near roundly dismissed,
     but extraordinarily grand
lee escorted to safety,

     as some VIP, who
under a "normal," regular,
     and/or typical case, would be
     gingerly brushed aside land
ding in the loony bin, what with his

     babbling like a lunatic understand
ably very little attention paid,
     but the sheer immensity,
sans horror surpassed any
     concoction hatched, analogous

     to grotesque japaned
artwork by necessity didst demand,
an extremely over
     active imagination, thus
     no "FAKE" spiderbiter words

     exist to expand
     to embellish, fabricate,
     and/or surpass,
a terrifying, nightmarish,
     and hideous circumstance

     in summary visa a vis dis
     covering Goliath manned
doubles (mandibles - jaws of steel),
     wherein barenaked remnants
     of Matthew Scott Harris protruded,

which humongous mouthparts
     of gigantic sized
     Tarantula pierced poison
     into dangling, flickr
     ring, and twitching

scant visible remains
of renowned Arachnologist, academician
     passionate serious
    die hard "Spider Man."

Premium Member My Favorite Professor

When considering a favorite teacher or professor, immediately,                      one high school teacher and one college professor come to mind.
Since I have to choose one of them, I am leaning toward the professor.

Mine was a small college and my history professor was a large man 
physically.  He was well learned and the founder and president of
The college.  Nevertheless, as an authority figure, he was very
Approachable.

In a larger sense, as head of a Christian college, he was not only                      the defender of the faith, but also a discerner of negative attitudes,         mindsets, and a defender of minorities.  He established in my mind                  the necessity of building protective shields to give an adversary                          second thoughts about an attack.  I was also inspired by the way
He used communion to unify and create a bond at the small college.

It was very clear to me that my history class was not just about
The studies of yesterday but about the everyday life of today which                   in essence makes for a better history that is being formed presently                 by the current generation.

Amazon Order

Amazon Order

I ordered some things from Amazon, today.
That cold and wind outside, 
chilled my body and my bones on this sunny day;
  so I chose to shop from the safety of the warm inside.

I ordered things of necessity, or so I told myself.

Those obligatory buys needed to survive.
The laundry detergent and nice oils and shampoos,
  and so many other things I could use.
Things I may not use till the thaw of spring
  but I’m on a role, needing almost everything.

There at the checkout, I looked again,
  as the total was more than I meant to spend.
Delete that one and that one too
  surely, I could do without that coffeed brew.

Oh Amazon, how easy you make my purchase,
  but alas, I pressed the order key,
let’s hope it’s worth it.

RELEASING REPAIR

A treasure was given to me
One with whom I could never depart
Day after day, I saw decay
Form in the center of my heart

I watched pieces harden and split
Discolor and begin to chip
I told myself that one day
I would have the money to fix

...what I was breaking

Robbing the world of beauty
Given to me for my joy
By keeping you, safely in place
You remain my baby boy

There are so many elements
Outside the doors of this house
That can kill and maim
What I must never allow

....suffering

No, no, my sweets, surely you see
All punishment belongs to me

I tried so hard to clean it up
The systems riding my back
But it seems as though
I have taught you the way of lack

There is no way I can repair
What I broke with Mama's tools
Restoration can only come
When necessity pulls

...value

It is not enough for me to see
The gift of you in the reveal
Seed lies dormant in ground
And I am he that wishes to steal

You do not belong to me
I am not granted your soul
I enjoy your presence, always
But it is time to let go

....and observe

The grand rising of light
As the mason repairs our sight

And the Mule Wins the Day

A year it's been, a year and more...
not that anyone else is keeping score.
My poems have never slept for so long,
but life has also never felt more wrong.

'Defiance' is my utmost, my favorite word...
the closest to "me" that I have ever heard.
But necessity has stolen its triumph and pride,
survival having become my only guide.

Grief has forced upon me six rounds...
loaded the revolver by filling the mounds.
The muzzle presses into my temple every day,
and only mulishness holds it at bay.

Instead of defying assholes, malice, hate, greed...
my will is entirely bent towards this need.
I cannot write otherwise, cannot force the muse,
while I'm simply looping, "I refuse, I refuse, I REFUSE".

"Undefeated", my favorite songs belt out...
I wish I could claim it truly, could similarly shout.
But the truth is that I have been shattered,
soundly beaten, smashed, stained, battered.

But strength lies not in never taking the heat...
only in getting back to your goddamned feet.
And if there's two things I unquestionably know,
it's heat - and telling the world " no".

Charlie briefly belonged to a group that would say...
"the only easy day was yesterday".

I say, the only easy day was...
when?

Premium Member Heirloom Whispers

In the antique store
an old physician’s desk,
walnut and marble-topped,
holding the remnants of a life
of service; 
stories etched in 
wood, metal and stone.

Next to part of an old syringe,
a can of ether, half full;
it’s lid rusted shut
and a stethoscope
sporting the cracked rubber
tubing, of a bygone era.
A clock that once worked, 
a necessity for any physician
or scientist; 
it died at lunchtime.
A gilt-framed memoir
of time served abroad.

Life stories abound in old 
antique shops;
shh...you can almost hear them 
whispered tales,
ethereal remnants,
for the purchase.

Lolita's Logic

Frames of navy night sky sparkle, her glasses
        Reminisce on stricter times, nineteen forty eight
        A generation before Jimmy Hendrix liberation
        Prior to gyrations from tight crotch crooner

        Women without an inheritance would struggle
        Menial jobs taken on, still society frowned upon
        Independence, thus encouragement to link existed
        Father substitutes sought out by sorrowful youth

        Amusing imp, as quick to pout as to smile
        Stirred strangely eroticism with simple antics
        Erratic her dance, alluring her firey tantrums
        Lost in wanting better love, engrossing plight

        Instinct like that of wobbly Bambi stretches limbs
        Sprinkled in Summer lawn abandon, carefree unfurl
        Flicks tiny traumas aside, a childhood culpable
        Absence aches in her chest like necessity

        Little lady of burden smudges beasts with kohl
        Sketches a future of picket fence flowers tall
        Daddy provides sanctum her unheard heart calls for
        Distance dissolves, eloined on island of illegal union

        Bubblegum pop, impatience dressed in playsuit
        Her fickle requirements are infantile outlines 
        Bumps in road don't dislodge her admiration
        Grim portrait rebellion saved for another decade
