Feedbacks

Feedback, 
A poet strive for perfection 
Someday his work will become a worldly reflection 
Of whom he is 
With each line he procrastinate, 

With each verse, 
Reaction, pro action and anticipation 
To the point 
Of debating or reconstructing his latest 
Despite receiving favorable reviews 

Should I read it out loud? 
Or should I let it simmer 
And invited samplers to sample my work 
Too many mind and voices 
Can be influential

Unlike a Sunday buffet his poem 
Is not the main course? 

His work is his ode 
So he becomes a prolific composer.

Our Lady

Our Lady?

You are our lady
of grace.
And now your dress?Is flames.?
The beauty of your sunken dome from a drone
Is a poem in itself.
Written by us and
Destroyed by chaos.?

This is what we do that rivals the stature of the gods:?
To astound ourselves and each other,?
With the wonder of? 
Pure, enduring creation.?
The sacrifice we all make to our better selves
Who gave buildings wings and
Laid the foundation stones of our own perfecting.? 

Epiphany is not found in the act of worship
It is to be found in the insight gained by gratitude for the world. ?
Exactly the way we built it.?
Exactly the way we know it to be.
Whispered prayers are but poetry?
That none other than you will listen to?
But it is good to talk to yourself?
To sing in harmony with all those other selves  
?Who are listening, ?

Wearing?
Not false, but true masks
Revealing the kind of truth that can only be told with a lie.?The subtler architecture that creates heavens from grand spaces on this earth.
Reconstructing what can be seen behind your faces,
Behind all the saints who guard you,?
Behind the divine grace of your stature.?
The sensuousness of your catastrophe is breathtaking.???

Premium Member Jesus Is the Master Potter

Jesus is the Master Potter
By Franklin Price
09/14/2023

Jesus, is the master potter
We, the followers His Clay
He molds us into shining lamps
Reconstructing day by day

He lays His hands upon us
Kneads and shapes us 'til we're done
 He is the Master Potter
Who recreates us, He's the one

As cracks appear, remolds us,
Provides our structure with relief
Then fuels us, and lights us
To be His lamps that shine belief

He trims our wicks when needed
To even light the darkest hour
Leading others to salvation
His lamp has given us that power

He adds a globe of glass or crystal
To let the light burn in the wind
To guide lost souls to heaven
For since the garden, all have sinned

He cleans our globes when they have darkened
And our lamps are not as bright
And we doubt that we are able
To shine out believing light

If Jesus had not died for us
On that cross upon the hill
Would be no need to have our lamps
For other's nights, our lights, to fill

when her shadow cracked

fragments entered her mind

shards of false gold

pierced façade and persona

left her in pieces

splintered images and illusions


the mask had been held tight

a rope strangled the puppet

clown’s grimace incised

by strings of attachment

and forced assimilation


a mirage in the making

projection of fake courage

pied piper tune on the march

dissonant shrieking contour

silhouette of crushed empty words


with no choice left

she picked up the pieces

and timid surface tension

adhered to the task

of reconstructing a narrative

without othering

gendering

ab-normalising all rupture


when she looked at the mosaic

the patchwork montage

appeared more sustainable

self-sufficient and rewarding

as the sum of all parts

had been hidden in a whole

where the light needed to fill

crevices and fissures


and she began to accept

time lines and gaps

which assembled 

the shape of outlines 

of necessary change

Reconstructing the Discourse

Scintillating muse providing inspiration
Jettisoning convention for innovation
Scuttling old patterns without expiation
Countermanding discourse with new creation

Alternating rhythms for lofty oration
Imbuing myths with crafty animation
Ennobling verse with majestic simulation
Abridging meter with stimulating catechization

Utilizing parody to intensify gratification
Brandishing riddles with crafty illusion
Burnishing irony in stunning profusion
Instilling prose with deeper alliteration

Suddenly, faltering in my bridled station
Confronted by seamless repetition
Disrobed of all callous pretension
Jaundiced at my mindless ambition

Reconsidered sages merited position
Re-read Homer, Virgil with more appreciation
Studying Shakespeare became new avocation
Bequeathing to the ancient bards greater approbation

Premium Member Obliquely Opaque

obliquely opaque 


opaque – soft light sifts through stained drape
filtered through muted sunshine’s dancing shape
trapped within dim confines - dust covered trust
love’s charred remains - victim of unbridled lust

awakening to darkness – blinding brightness
stumbling sightless through outdated rightness
alone with thinking’s disconnected fears
seekers reconstructing new frontiers

layering more dust upon the Grail
adrift amid the thoughts they never sail
searching without - for that within
saddled with past - and future sin

oblique – soft angle breaking stride
questioning the truths - that “must abide”
within the hearts and souls - of all but one
awakened to the truth - that there are none

A Tribute To Grenfell Tower

I am a poet, an artist, a writer
A lover of humanity
This poem I write is about the Grenfell tower story.

Kensington,Kensington
What have you done
Blood stains and tears are scrolled upon your veins.

For a dollar , a pound or two 
You brought plastic instead of foam
You thought their would never burn.

Kensington,Kensington
Hypocrites and thieves
You brought these souls to their knees.

Twenty seven storeys
One hundred and twenty flats
Six hundred souls were all entrapped.

Kensington,Kensington
While you were sleeping
These souls were heating.

Higher and higher the flames kept on rising
Hotter and hotter their became
Calling out all in vain.

God how I wished it had rain
Kensington,Kensington
Look at your streets.

These souls you see is because of your greed
Kensington,Kensington
Stop your lies.

It's time you open your eyes
These crimes of yours is what you have reap
There are souls unaccounted for on Latimer street.

Numbers are increasing, mothers are still weeping
Kensington, Kensington you need to restore 
Crowds are escalating.

Questions asked , answers concealed
Kensington, Kensington I fear 
Your unanswered questions
May provoked a political war.

Five million why not a billion
You spend this much on nuclear wars
Kensington, Kensington the public needs answers.

Families are in despair
There cannot be repaired
Kensington,Kensington you need to start reconstructing.

These souls are everywhere
Mourning and anguish
Anger and fear won't disappear.

Kensington,Kensington the dead is knocking
Their ashes are spread everywhere 
Soon their will be demanding.

False promises slow response 
Will only awake the sleeping
Kensington,Kensington the dead needs to be resting.

Premium Member Hypocrisy In White

I am reading
"Democracy in Black"
by Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.
but continue reconstructing this title
"Hypocrisy in Only White."

Because
when I let my memory
look back to my own self-interests in history
as archaeological digging and prying and discovery,
adventure and curiosity
of my internal ecological development,
I reweave back
through still on-going matriarchal lines
that include,
are shared with,
anyone capable of reading
and comprehending
these words of regenerating memory.

Back
to darker
denser
richer genes and memes
of cooperative to still thrive today,
saving competitions for survival moments.

Back to
better to prey together
side by side
as neanderthal brothers and sisters
than to grow predative
against each other.

This Golden Rule
of dark Afro-Eurasian
equatorial resonant depth
of historical origin
in normative play
at least until we substitute capitalism's
supremacist agendas
for rationalism's ego-ecocentric
reweaving memory
of this original Earth Mom
magical and mysterious
then worshiped and danced
ritualed and cooperative ownership co-governing,
then more modern radical eccentricities
forgetting our shared matriarchal
regenetic
memory of dualdark
hypocrisies of merely white inferiority
complexes
disease
dissonance
despair of remaining fully
who we together are,
where we have been
predating history
where we could return
each morning
with greatest polyphonic joy.

To paraphrase David Holmgren
(Permaculture, p. 113)
Containers were one essential organic innovation
necessary for this cooperative agrarian revolution.
Opportunities to refill organically produced bodies
are enormous
transitioning into recycling energy descent
for shared cooperative memory.
Reimaging full organic containers
is far better than sending us
away and down and out for recycling.
Most official ecopolitical waste reduction strategies
place little emphasis
on organic reuse refilling re-educating
deep ecologically learning containers,
or confuse WinWin refueling,
reweaving,
with capitalism's WinLose recycling,
switching productive containers
into merely consuming eventual empties,
bleached-out white-washed faded hypocrisies
of purest supremacy against nothing 
deeply densely 
richly resonantly valued.

That Was Us

Weeks pass
	and words cannot help but fail me.
The expression of the season
	whimpers quietly on the sideline.
Waiting, wishing hoping and searching exasperate the mind 
	as nothing appears to raise my spirit.
A period of nothing but empty loneliness recalling years 
        when you were here sharing, celebrating the joy.
We are so deafened by the season
	and in its brief life, relive memories of the heart.
Memories that tend to fade like the words,
	reconstructing poorly what was us.
Come back to me
	enlighten all we shared.
Return to me again
	with the words and the love,
the dreams and the happiness, the life
        that was us.
