Long Rationalizing Poems

Executive Summary:
To optimize Great Faith Revolutions,
combine all toxic ingredients 
of Make America Great Again,
and then feel
then hear
then do

I’m willing to care for myself and believe in a higher power, which is God of course I must admit!
An inner peace that shares with me unconditional love - my broken-hearted spirit adores it

It's not enough to say,
with however much great might,
America's Religious Right
is wrong
to flap fight wings
and even bite
against Earth's spirit natured Left.

All sacred EarthTribe's
could cooperatively respect 
in more resonantly wealthy faith
and resiliently healthy humor

re-cognizing re-connection

It's morning as I make a special trip to the

mussels, large shrimp, and Maine lobster. 
 
A large crowd has formed mostly chefs

Critics experience Taoist governance

as heartless 
yet somehow Bohmian mindful

Others, more kindly Bodhisattva

might know Taoist

sacred/secular ecological philosophy

To President Joe Biden

Anecdote : It is an ode to poetry, nothing personal, nothing satirical, and the ultrasound is a personal experience of further need in contemplation of my left breast, where unwanted growths gave...

Alphabet poems are sometimes called, “a,b,c” poems.
But that is incorrect because a.b.c. poems only have 25 words in them.
Commonly, that mistake is made because the lines are written in alphabetical order.
Despite a clear definition of...

Zoomanity

Ponderous pretense 
blindsiding any ability to cope, to hope, the 
fabric of reality gropes, worn 
Torn, promises shredding like swilly alibis	
Hoovers and fakers 
backing into their mangled apocalypse,
can only stammer and stare
Movers and shakers denying...

Dion is Quiet

Their marriage had left a demineralized matrix or was it the other way around

Possibly feminine revenge for her own mid-life crisis gone hard in denial

Where once had been gems precious crystals and finely...

It started a long time ago as a kid, I was still young
 
Rebelling against the law, back talking adults, but I thought it was still fun
 
I always thought about...

In the realm of a madman's verse
Where thoughts emerge, a universe
A delicate dance of sanity's thread
And the balance of mind where we're led

Amidst the chaos, truth's disguise
Is it madness that blinds our eyes?
Or just a...

Universal green ecological salvation

In the world of diversity and disparity,
Hard would be, to see tranquility
Abandoning, God-given equality,
Oh! It would be a bitter reality

Survival of the fittest, deprival of the weakest,
Race; color; wealth determining who is the finest
For few...

No’s


Talking to themselves in the third person
Detached, separate, 
ominous—a stilted nuance that does want to know  
Abrupt attention spans lashing out as the deadends foreclose
Cutting back on all the backslapping
Having wanted to believe all...

SEXINESS

Knowing me as a sensitive and caring person,
What I find sexy, as you may have suspected,
(Although by rationalizing the situation it will only worsen)
Is based on real  people with whom I have been connected

The typical intro,
A moment of reflection,
Philosophical conversation with my glass veil is ago,
I swear she's the perfect audience lacking in cognition but excellent in reception,
Shameless in anonymity and thoroughly content being one-dimensional,
An afterthought emerged from...

Uniformed impeccably; their braveness now condoned

Proudly serving our country, believing it was cause worth fighting for

Saddened Squirrel


she writes
like her wings
are dipped 
in purgatory
hot water
and she is grounded
and broken
because of him
him, him, him
to her
how, how, how
he's met
every overture
every response
with bit lips
and olive branches
yet, yet, yet
she seems to think
like 
he's the enemy

I’m Sorry, Lord

I’m Sorry. Oh, dear Lord, my God.
While imperfect on this earth I trod.
Forgive me, sins of omission.
As I live by will in submission.

There is exquisite pain
In being offered a beautiful gift
Fine the wrapping
The bows beautifully beguiling
The attached card:
Love’s testament in writing

Everything indicates

Can satisfy, electrify, gratify….
BEAUTIFY, yes, beautify your life
Wrapped up in pretty...
