Third Mordents Bassoon

Mussiro Ramt one half of
" The Arabain Knights"
Made query into ownership of
the $!!!!!4!!!$ World Championship.
He arrived at the scheduled
appointment at the Offices of.
$!!$!!$ in Montana. "I stumbled
back nearly falling: at the sight of
him". "He was shirtless and oiled up"
He had his horned boots and a crushed
velvet like pants on. His head scraff was
covering his shoulders and his colgone was
strong enough to gag an Ox. It took all the
power I could muster to stay in control,
 she said. Later we realized she was attracted to him. He didn't buy the World Championship, but  he found himself dating several members of our staff. His accent ( generated to show difference in his ethnicity) was a stumbling block later on in his years. A reporter interviewing him used a recorder: halfway through the interview he strted talking almost in perfect english. He cleared his voice and called the reporter a Crumbbean rat Turd, and stormed out of the room angry at the whole process. He said the media wiped ass: and kisses es! He became World Champion due to his athletic prowlness. He could wrestle, and at times he was the best wrestler anyone could ever come across. His partner came out of the closet. causing a problem. " He knew I wanted to marry the Sey Woman of Mens Dreams: he came out of the closet the night I proposed to her. at his coming out party I chopped him in the back of his neck and stomped his to the ground in the name of rightousness!" I have new partner, in the Arabain Knights, My brother-inlaw muary Solter!"

Cats

Cat Fight in Incheon

Watching two cats 
Fighting alongside the sidewalk
In suburban Incheon New Airport Town

Completely indifferent 
To the humans walking around them
And the humans were indifferent to the cats

As they stood there fighting 
And screeching at each other 

One orange one
One half black half white one
Both middle age in cat years

As I sat there watching the cats 
really getting into it 
I wondered what they were arguing about?

But since I don’t speak cat 
I really didn't know 

All I know is they were really screeching at each other
And almost look like they were about to attack each other 

But one cat backed down 
As the other cat stood their proverbial ground

If they were humans one would have pulled out a knife
Or a gun
And someone would have been killed 

But being mere cats
They stared at each other

And walked away
but they kept glancing at each other 

So I knew the fight as not over
Merely postponed until a later hour 
Cats truly are the aliens
Who live among us humans

Or perhaps we are the aliens
Who live among the cats?
 
Cat thought

Watching the black cat 
Who lives underneath the building 
Slinking about 

looking for something to kill
I am reminded once again the cats 
are not our friends 
as I stare at him 

an alien invader
From another planet

Still Growing


seventy-three and one-half years young
can’t forget the half-don’t want to appear
younger than I actually am

seems like yesterday I was living in
a foster home and working on the farm
and that was fifty-six years ago

my biggest regret was all the
potential friendships I destroyed
because I was an angry person. I
came from a dysfunctional home
where every form of abuse was acceptable
I had PTSD of a sort so the shrink said
which stunted my social skills

my biggest triumph was accepting
Jesus has my savior. I have slowly learned
to forgive others and just as importantly myself
it has been a life long process and my transformation
is not totally finished but I am better than I was.

Now I have very few friends from the past but am
making some new ones while treating people with
respect.

Being content with the way things are is a
wonderful feeling.

Ignoring Your Own Advice

A word to the wise should suffice
And shouldn’t need spouting it twice.
It really makes sense
Unless you are dense
To follow your own good advice.

In my case, it’s all about ears,
For an earring, at times, disappears.
So I purchased some backs
Which lets me then relax,
Since to lose one is one of my fears.

In my home, though, I sometimes forget,
For a lost one’s not much of a threat.
I’d not planned to go out
But I did and, no doubt,
You can guess why I’m feeling regret.

Yes, one half of the pair that I wore
Slipped away on the street or the floor.
Though I searched where I’d been
With no luck, my chagrin
Is about that advice even more.

Lullaby In the Sunset

Two hours before sunset 
My study commence 
To the table n' chair, I rivet 
My green-blue orbs
Trying to absorb 
The itsy-bitsy letters 
printed on the papers 
After one & half hour 
I loose my power 
I shift n sit on the bed 
With all my books to read 

After  some more minutes 
My legs extend
N finally it's time to sunset 
Below the horizon, as the sun goes 
Shutter of my orbs, also close

My books turns into Lordess 
Magically, of wisdom & knowledge 
My head on her lap 
With soft n heavenly hand
She was fondling that 
Showering glitzy stars from sky 
Other worldly n silvery
She sings lullaby 
Through her silken lips
N I fall into a deep sleep

Premium Member Vanishing Point

This world, in which we all live, has been split in two.
On one half is me, on the other half is you.
There is wonder and beauty, on both sides to behold.
I know we can bridge the gap, no matter what we are told.

We have two distinct points, for the whole world to see.
Maybe the further we look ahead, the closer these two points will be.
Like the vanishing point in art, where receding lines appear to converge.
If we focus real hard on the future, maybe just one point will emerge.

This will be a lot of work...it will definitely take some time.
But I'm confident that we can do it, now listen to my rhyme.
Let's forge ahead to the future, surrounded by family and friends.
I know we'll see this vanishing point, long before this world ends.

Premium Member Never Half To Me-F

Growing up, they said that she was our 'half' sister.                                                                                               They also said that our father was not her 'real' father.
Somehow, I never saw anything 'step' about him toward her.                        No matter how hard I tried, I could see nothing 'half' about her.                                                                                              

She was the oldest of 8 sisters and four brothers. Our father, her 'step' father, married our mother when our 'half' sister was just a toddler.  Moreover,  he also took in our grandmother. In addition to the 12 of us, there was also our dog name Jack. There was mother and grandma who was our mother's mother. And then, there was our father, the man they called 'her step father'. 

As I was growing up, I always thought that there was something really wrong about our father. He was very hard and angry.  I had little appreciation for him. That is, until some of my 'whole' sisters shared some great things about him that I had not considered. Even before that eye-opening experience, those years that I had bad feelings about him, his love toward our 'half' sister was never in question. I never saw him as a 'step' father to our oldest sister, because I never saw him treat her any different.                                    

When I do the math and add it all up, I guess what I'm saying is that my father was far more than 'a step' to my 'half' sister, and my 'half' sister was more than 'a half' to me. It takes two pints to make a quart; four quarts to make a gallon; two 'halves' to make a whole. I shall never understand how one 'half' of a sister was never 'half' but always a whole to me.

Old age is
Legs made of crumbs, fingers becoming twigs 
uneven floors and squeeze toys becoming hazardous
clusters of loves becoming spirits on the wispy wing of memory
all of the strays squat in attics or linger in the eaves.
If lucky enough, you get to hug a loved one once a week.

Old age is 
a favorite hymn fleeing one half note at a time
playground giggles skipping your youth back into the limelight... 
The sweet soothe of sunrise after shuffling away from chains of night.
Old age is a star and firefly slowly becoming one.

Old age is 
pretending there's a piece of this world that really cares. 
Reaching for a bowlegged tabby that's no longer there.
It's a silver-haired orphan opening yet another cold can of alone...
An entire universe of humanity becoming a Hawkins's black hole.
Memories like lemon drops are slipping from life's crystal bowl.
A trickster stripping away your grace and tact long before you're gone.

Grandma Gilded Wisdom once said, "Old age isn't for sissies".
A cold rain is coming; I can feel it deep in my bones."

First To Third Light In 30 Seconds

night yet clings
yet smothers the numb highway

breathe the wheel
sigh through the gears
wave-ride rubber after-shocks
follow the beam-eyed light
into the blossoming gray

adjusts to blacktop rapids
the sky is passing
it is now ahead of itself
convertible clouds weep dry tears

slip-slide the slick dark banks
with flickering wrists

A second light blooms

a small sun pastes itself onto distant white

a hooded bonnet shakes like a wet wolf
the horizon is now a mobile scaffolding

the whispering tread of a fast coming daylight
rushes into view, it snorts though a crystal vase
that the mind grips tightly

the roads blind ability
to avoid Niagara or the Grand Canyon
guides cold white knuckles

the drunk rocking of a back axle
warns you of a surfacing
unpaved parking lot

engine bones tick-over
articulate shuddering full stops
as they cough up stillness
here
at the end of
one half of a minute

and that is the third manifestation
of breathable light

Premium Member My Truths

"Half-truth and lie; six of one, half a dozen of the other. How about the whole truth?" - quote by poet.


                        I live and breathe my truths 
            as much as I speak them; I believe...
what I believe and I stubbornly stick to my convictions.
I believe Jesus Christ, my savior, died for my sins. 
                        I lack patience for disingenuous folks. 
What you give, you get back in the end, two-fold.
I express myself freely without fear of scorn or criticism. 
      I'm a coconut...tough exterior, soft on inside; gentle giant.  
            I'm moved by sincerity and thoughtfulness in people. 
                        I applaud courage, selflessness and humility.
Quasi-masochistic, i'm unsatisfied until I've bled to achieve an end. 
            One of the greatest things I've ever done; serving America. 
      Fatherhood has turned me into mush.
                        My most salient characteristic is my inner humanity.
