Premium Member Transition Town Time

It was E. B. White
who famously lamented

Waking each morning
feeling prevented
from improving
his worldview experience

Or waking each morning
feeling joy
for improvements made
during views of Earth
sacred smack in Her 
other wise dead head
inexperience

Or something
probably not so involved
but with the same
missing the potential
for

Waking each morning
committed to enjoy improving
my co-invested worldview
sacred health-humored 
wealth of experience.

But not in a preachy
judgment way,
more of a cosmic beauty
sacred green holonic
kinda open wholeEarth systemic
sort of win/win play

More trauma-informed
by advocates
for green cooperative
deep learning non-violent communication
ecofeminist EarthTribe Day
and Transition Town Time
for restoring resilient EarthJustice.


Premium Member On the Verge

Sense spacious silence speak
Prize primal pattern peak


Void vets vibrant vile voice
Cream clumsy changing choice


Toilsome thoughts tunnel time
Meet moist motionless mime


Feel fond fancy flavour
Opt old odd off-odours 


Form fleeting formal face
Glimpse gaudy grinding grace


Face funny faulty fix
Meet most memory mix


Mull mushy momentum 
Treat taut touchy tantrum


Unhinge used unseen urge
Ply preachy poignant purge


Edgy echoes ease etch
Sanguine sadness soul sketch


Impact indulgent ire
Messy moments meet mire 


Languish lavish laughter 
Adjourn ample after


Listening lastly lurks
Jumpy jest justly jerks


Sober sleepless soul spice
Promptly puzzles pure price


Numbing nonsense now nibs
Tasty touching time trip


Nimble nasty notions
Pace placates proportion


Time travel through twilight
Indulge instant insight


Lift lasting lustre loud
Petty plots pretty proud


Ply puzzling poison pill
Size spacious silence spill

Premium Member Zatoichi's Theme Song

I thought it would be fun to pretend to translate 
a yakuza-enka (gambler folk song) by Shintaro Katsu, 
to be sung with gravelly grave seriousness.

Nobody seems to love me
Or care about my pain
My sandals are all worn out
I sleep out in the rain
I am a lonely bugger,
A blind and lowly bug
I have no home, I always roam,
I'm practically a thug.

My name is Zatoichi
My life is never peachy
I tap along and sing a song
As sad as it is preachy.

The only time I'm happy
Is when I'm betting dice
But if they try to cheat me
or fail to treat me nice
I show them quick my blind man's stick
Can flash with bloody slice
I cut them all in pieces
It's quite an awful vice.

My name is Zatoichi
My life is never peachy
I tap along and sing a song
As sad as it is preachy.

Charity Starters

Charity starts at home 
don't 
we say?
Be kind to your kith and 
kin 
come what may.

A family's not only your 
safe 
haven
Tis pals your very own 
roots
Water these shoots with 
love 
devoid of hate
So they bear you 
sweeter 
fruits.

Maybe you'd say that's 
not so 
easy
but perhaps that's coz 
you just 
too busy

Or your clock just don't 
chime
for quality family time?

For if you can't make 
time for 
a letter or a hug
Then let my poem give 
your 
conscience a gentle tug.

And if this may sound 
like a 
preachy homily
Deserves much more 
mention 
and affection the family

If you can make time for 
so 
many other things 
some of them not even 
worthwhile
Try discover the 
happiness 
family brings
Just a tad modify that 
routine 
lifestyle.

My words in crystal clear 
clarity
sing compassion is 
likewise a 
charity
Charity need not be for 
strangers only
Find out who needs help 
in 
kindred and family

Ties of kinship severe not
Value the relations 
you've got

Your siblings, cousins 
from 
your family tree
and all else that you call 
family.:-x

Premium Member Happy New Year-Soup Friends

I have met some wonderful people on SoupVille Lane.
Without this extraordinary and fantastic poetry
community, our paths may have never crossed.
I just want to let you all know (you know who
you are). Who has supported me continuously on my poetic journey.
That I don't take your support and friendship lightly.
Especially during these difficult times. Being away from family can be so sad and depressing.
I log into the soup and find laughter, inspiration, encouragement, and kindness. Just having you in my corner has meant the world to me.
Some may say friendships such is this isn't real,
I beg to differ. What is friendship?
Opening yourself up to another, being your true authentic self, I have done that with some of
you and I consider you a friend.
One thing about friendship is, you have to be
a friend to gain a friend.
Some friends go deep, and some don't,
but my (soup) friends, we have poetry in common, and I feel we are friends because of our shared love of poetry.
With that being said, is this place perfect? No
Because we have feelings and feelings get in the way.
But we should strive to be respectful no matter what. If I come off as preachy, I apologize; the things that I express, I say to myself first and foremost. Just sharing my insight and personal reflections. I know 2020 has been bad for us all.
I hope and pray, 2021 is much better. Happy New Year, my soup friends:-) Alexis

Premium Member Praising Winds

Our forest habitat
gusts breezes
across our skins,
as darkness slowly turns
toward bright sky light.

My son
who cannot walk
nor speak his name
talks vociferously forth and with
and adding as this morning breeze
together part of Her embrace,
playful tickles
across his advocating happy Yanging face
teaching out and taking in, as possible
what and whom is impossible
for any of us to see,
whether blind as he
or sighted as we
might actually hope to be.

D is an avid scooting son
toward virgin forest greetings,
able to smell and feel morning seasons and rhythms
of days and night,
dark and persuasively gusty bright
flow of solar and lunar breezes
across our democratic EarthBound skins,
nurturing solidarity
older than concrete avenues toward cities
of overwhelming unforesting,
unraveling
tribes producing what once was nutrition,
good food more than fake food,
healthy love of gusty bright mornings
over toxic repressed-yin darks,
nightmares of climate acclimation
to separating multi-sensory linguistic pathologies.

D's life is liturgy of love
blemished only by occasional aversions to entrapment
and suffering alone
when we might become possible
to produce healthier webs of cooperative nurture
together,
Dad and D
as We.

Daranyani D,
celebrating sacred forest winds
as feminine matriarchal principles
gracing his brown naked skin.

Diversity of days and holonic nightdreams,
democratic nutritional pluralism,
principles of forest reweaving civilizations
older than cities
surrounded by fading cultures of wealth
through deforesting this EarthTribe Morning
which,
on its very best warm gusty day,
has become worthy
of concelebrating Daranyani D's
forest optimizing breezes,
liturgies of EarthTribe's 
Secular Out and Sacred In
brightest elder 
matriarchally principled
(0)Soul bilateral sacred brain-dance,
Elder RightBrain 
Still-PolyCulturating Light-RainDance 
Choreographies Sacred (0)Sum EcoPolitical
BiCameral Green-Dominant.

Just like his preachy, but basically happy, ElderDad
co-eco incarnating 
our forest habitat
gusts breezes
across our naked wrongs and rights,
as darkness slowly turns
toward bright returning sky light.

Rambling of a Faith Poet

Sometimes it is hard to know what to write or when to write when you have just about every
thought possible flowing through your head. I wonder, "Should I please the public with
how "poetic" I am or should I please You? I know what the answer is but at times I'm 
worried about being liked or whether people get me. Is my belief in Your Son too far
above their heads or will they get it? Should I even worry about public opinion? Of
course I know as a follower of Christ, sharing my testimony and telling them about the
Lord is what I'm supposed to do. On the other hand, have I become to preachy and
dull? Am I shoving my beliefs down their throats? Then I realize, didn't Jesus make
himself of no reputation? Everybody thought that He was weird, blasphemous and not
qualified to tell them anything when it came to how they were living. I'm only here to do
what He wants me to do, nothing more, nothing less. If I do my part, the right people will
hear it, love it and appreciate it. All I should do, is write the word and leave all my
"rambling worries" to Him.

Premium Member Digesting Toxic Issues

My stomach
and lower core rumblings
and dis-communionations
hope for some further feeding 
consuming way
to not merely tolerate
but gratefully digest
what my gut 
won't easily 
organically appreciate
and comfortably eliminate

Can only traumatically depreciate

Has trouble resonantly ingesting
what eyes and mouth
salivate to masticate.

Chewing
swallowing massive trauma
to consumers so enlightened
and healthily empowered
we cannot bow
to southern fried chicken-wing
mighty bite makes digestive right
toxic dogma
not nature-spirited
indigenously bright

Confused by preachy facile spirits
inexperienced with deep resilient peace 
digestive therapy

Not ingesting further
poison punishments

Blames
and shames
against restoring strong stomach
and deeper digestive flowing innocence

Unconditional regard
for nutritionally healthy
nurturing
natured grateful spirits

Long experienced souls
avoiding win/lose congestion
indigestion
by choosing win/win 
cooperatively immaculate re-conceptions

Well chewed
and communally swallowed
bread and wine
of full-bodied
root health chakra souls
exploring neuro-sensory communion

Anticipating panentheistic 
intra/inter-personally wealthy 
sacred pre-inceptions.
