Long Pridefulness Poems

Emotional fatigue courtesy exhaustive vituperative harangue...

Lobbed and unleashed upon the heads
of (yours truly and the missus)
so called selfish "monsters."

The evening of Wednesday April 19th
witnessed us (birth parents of our first born)
weathering blistering telephonic brickbats.

She (unnamed...

A magnet for tsuris

Summation notation of achievements
wrought absolute zero
pridefulness to self -
a veritable highstrong yoyo
(lame at walking the dog)
a solitudinarian devoid of xoxo

Hebrew a legacy of woe

This world of atrocious avarice
Marches on in a proud grimace
Corruption and calamity twist and turn in their stomachs, yet peace will conquer nonetheless
Consumption of the blasphemous people shout out their voices of vain pridefulness

I comport myself with quiet pridefulness,
plus intellectual whimsy
aware that "FAKE" pretentiousness,
could be mistaken foreign egotistical vitae
furthering, feathering and figuratively
undermining jestingly, 

poetically, and zealously

Heal the haunting shallowness inside
Steal away the taunting distress so wide
Shards of the rusty chains that severely pulled me down once…
Has disappeared into ash and dust — thanks to Your response

Validation is...

A sense of calm enveloped me, 
Along with focus and drive,

While hatching, fledging, high atop its nest;
With Nature’s rhythms every day is blessed,
As surely as the Sun sets in the West.

The heron pair take turns to go on...

Almond blossom, not amaryllis...
sweetness against pridefulness.


Say it with some intense feeling...
seek that flower expressing loving.


Almond blossom or lemon blossom...
revering love with an incredible charm.


Childness must not be unfaithfulness...
feel the sublimest joy of blessedness.


There are sweet...
