Premium Member Destiny, With Receipt

Destiny arrived on a Tuesday, 
in a box marked 
FRAGILE: REGAL.

I signed for it in my slippers,
holding half a piece of toast.

Inside: a sapphire crown. 
No instructions. 
Just joy,
heavy and brilliant 
as the midwinter sky.

Naturally,
I took it out.
I didn’t wear it—I carried it.

The rain applauded.
Every puddle on the footpath 
tried to catch its reflection.

A magpie, professionally suspicious,
followed me for three blocks, 
hoping I was a very shiny chip.

At the crossing, 
waiting in the drizzle,
I cradled my glittering fate. 

A tradie’s ute splashed past.
I didn't flinch. 

Instead, I gave the driver a slow, 
magnificent, regal wave.

He honked, entirely confused. 
I grinned like a fool.

At the bakery,
the woman with the tongs said,
“Special occasion?”

“Apparently,” I said,
carrying destiny in both hands
like a cake too beautiful to cut.

By dusk, even the clouds
had put on their best
sapphire hue.

I still had no kingdom,
no horse,
no useful instructions—

only a sapphire crown in my arms
and the extraordinary feeling

that winter,
at last,
had remembered my name.


Known professionally as

We were parallel walking
she asked if I found [famous person] attractive
I sucked a thoughtful tooth (as if)
and said I'm not one to fawn over
minor celebrities
she said fawn I said yes fawn 

But if [famous person] was here now
I'd attach myself to her legs and let her
drag me through the mud
like an I don't know what
the metaphor failed me. She said

Like a dangleberry.
I don't know what you mean, and obv.
which is short for obviously
as an alpha male I am not one to submit
to be dragged away anyway and yet
in this instance [famous person] would have to
beat me off, stop it, that's enough now

I mean her magnificent legs which
in this unlikely scenario I have attached myself to
remember

Honestly, I wish I'd never started this
she said me too
and that was that
for the rest
of our walk

Esther’s Apartment

Esther’s apartment is almost the same
As it was when she lived in its space.
Her son and her daughter-in-law (my dear friend)
Live there now and her vibe they embrace.

All her furniture’s there and her dishes and lamps
And the paintings of many a child
(Even Esther), plus one of a rabbi and all
By her father, professionally styled.

For the last twenty years of her life, Esther made
The apartment a welcoming home,
Where her family, including great-grandchildren, came,
Never thinking they’d be in a poem.

But my favorite thing was the album, quite big,
Of her wedding, a gala affair,
All the images captured in black and white shots 
With a true 1950-type flair.

Esther’s spirit lives on, which would not be the case
If my friend and her husband weren’t there,
But they’ve honored her past as their future is made
Which, to me, seems so special and rare.

Premium Member A Juvenile Future Star Mettreajour Une Addition

All I could afford  

Was loitering at Stu Wards  

Having a draft  

Rooty tooty in beer craft  

When suddenly  

It was not funny  

A feeling I was done  

No longer welcome 

It was twilight gleaming  

Star struck with meaning  

Then like it was on cue  

Supporter fan Echo Zulu  

Exclaimed Woo Hoo  

Leaving these resentful two  

Screaming critically boo boo  

This attitude made me leave  

After wiping my foul mouth on me sleave   

Headed then to an Italian kitchen  

Hour close to be witching 

Stomach needing protection  

Pizza Bianca was the late-night selection  

Winning the food fetish election 

Took some time  

Enjoyed the dine  

Before taking a joy ride  

No needing a guide  

Up the scenic rout  

To the twin lights where I was going to shout  

From the paved cliff viewing defined Corniche  

Independent from any financial commitment leash  

Making a wish   

Dreaming a gigantic fish  

Will work with my look  

Baited on the photogenic hook  

Still at peace  

About the decision giving me a release  

On their terms  

Being concern  

Staying firm  

What was learned  

Feeling burned  

Interpreting the modern games rules  

Written by fools  

Stating to have success  

Reported in the press  

You need fortune and fame  

For everyone to know your name  

Standing here I do declare 

Showing a glaring stare   

Sending out a dare  

Stating nothing can compare  

Since success came to me fair  

And square  

Leaving power players professionally scared

Premium Member Bucket List Item

I can't play a single musical instrument to save my life.
I guess I could if I really tried, but who has the time
to put aside and sacrifice other pleasures that I indulge religously,
my poetry, love of photography and most importantly,
quality time spent often with my fur babies,
but all is not lost with today's technology.
Computer programs presently allow me
to play any musical instrument professionally,
well, not exactly.
I can program any musical instrument at whatever tone or speed,
or combination thereof to compose a musical masterpiece.

Bucket List Item #, oh whatever, just do it eventually;

Compose And Perform 
One Of The Greatest Music Orchestrations Ever Released,
even though it will only truly be
composed and performed by me virtually
with computer programing technology.

Jonathan Drane

Jonathan was a self-employed plumber, 
Before a diagnosis of corneal dystrophy, 
So he moved out as a plumbing worker, 
And began playing judo professionally. 

He’d done judo as a youth, came easy, 
And won his 1st dan at the age of 18,  
So took his first senior competition flee, 
In the 2010 Welsh Open, he was mean. 

Jono also suffers from ADHD, tells others, 
And in 2013 took the gold in the US Open, 
In the 2014 Grand Prix, bronze feathers, 
And at the 2014 Worlds took bronze token. 

In 2015 at the Eger World Cup, Hungary, 
Jono tangled and fought to take the bronze, 
And in Rio he came fifth in -81kg category,  
Against fighter Rovshan Safarov, no cons.

Premium Member The Divine Gift

The Divine Gift

We can, with a certain degree of accuracy, gauge one's intellectual quotient level through an assortment of tests at any given age of their educated life, and subsequent years, either professionally and or leisurely.

When asked, what would be the quotient level of my soul, that can be easily ascertained by somebody professionally engaged in the field of psychology or one's country pastor or similar bound vocation, if they'd be one.

Whenever I am asked of myself, bears a challenge from the get-go as it borders on conceit.

To say, for instance, I am a loving person is untrue for it begs interpretation, liken to 'agape', beyond whereto, it becomes dependent upon others to ascertain the measure of its worth, albeit, does not stop there for therein, lies on variables as no two or more opinions, are ever the same.

How long does that person know me, or, how close of a relationship is that person to me, as a family member or as a friend?

Going back to conceit, or rather I say, that I bear to venture the thought that I leave quotient of my soul to the interests of others to judge. 

Humble am I, nay, for that too is subjective.

Nevertheless, begs the question, what is the quotient of my soul?

I do not think of my soul to be higher than others, nor do I think of my soul to be lesser than others.

I would like to think less on the subject of my soul is the best answer, methinks.

I believe the soul is a divine gift, that shines for others to see, and that providence keeps not in my mind, but as the spirit within my heart.

Premium Member Lung

He carried the oxygen from one room to another but the smallest effort cost.
The air was fresh but the breath wouldn't catch and coughing.
He wondered how his plan was left unfulfilled.
He had used every human he had ever come in contact with.
And now after living with his sister and her husband for thirty years he was finished.
This was his life and the cough.
He sat stirring his coffee and ate a pastry with his tooth.
That was what he had one tooth and his famous cough.
He was a professional and his lung had quit.
No one had told him that the lung would do this but it had.
Most wouldn't believe he professionally coughed but the cough did.
And that is what mattered and smoking.
Smoking and waiting to die was all he had.
Lying in the hospital bed and staring  at the tv screen.
The doctor said the cancer had moved into the lung.
He said that he wanted to run the test but medicare wouldn't pay for it.
Should have got that insured by Geico and wanting a cigarette.



This is a true story about my Uncle Charles who is alone but for  my Mothrer ,Father and Me

Premium Member Preparing For Inspection

The enlistment oath he took gravely to fulfill his obligation,
To defend the Constitution and to honorably serve his nation
He always looked sharp, wearing the Air Force blue with pride,
Adhering to the values of God and country was his constant guide.

He always prepared meticulously for every stand-by inspection.
From head to toe he was a model of military perfection.
For this inspection his accessories were carefully selected.
Everything must be perfect, not one detail was neglected.

It took a great deal of time to see that he was properly dressed.
Sharp military creases for his long-sleeved shirt were pressed.
His jacket and trousers were professionally steamed and cleaned.
Strings and lint from his uniform were carefully gleaned.

The creases in his trousers were as sharp as a razor blade.
Rows of ribbons for honors won were upon his breast displayed.
His metal insignia were polished, and, oh, how they glowed!
Now, all was in readiness for inspection and in its proper mode.

The gallant airman was not preparing to march in a parade.
Alas, he was dressed in funereal clothes and in his coffin laid.
For this, his final inspection, he was immaculately dressed.
'Tis for certain that his Creator will surely be impressed!
