Long Ruminant Poems

My acquaintance with poetry in general and the simplistic literary brilliance of Robert Frost in particular, came at a relatively early age. My mother would ambivalently imply that I was too young to remember, however...

Those who live an artistic life are genuinely soul-aware. 
It is as vital to the human spirit as is the air. 
Artistry, sculpture, and landscape design are creative,
That's around spiritedness that pulls and is probative.

(for: ’niyi osundare)

the goldness of those eyes,
like the eye of the earth –
beaming, mirrors the secret softness
hidden by the ash-like depths of our souls!

many of them, brother, so learned;
 o! carrying shrines of empty superiority,

I stared at the wall, it stared back at me.
I was so lonesome longed for a roomie.

And as I despaired, with feelings of dread,

It's  one in the morning
And I can't get to sleep
So I've tried various things
Like counting some sheep,

Backwards and forwards
All over the ground.
To make matters worse
What...

Waking all of us...and the farmer too,
  Just so we can all start the day.

A beckoning call to the...

To make you a magician
Coming to you in dozens of time

At times like a comedian.
A true art of chameleon in religion clothing
Approaching you only for assistance
Never...

Patriots we are
Ashen through war
To a more promising today.
Ruminant mammals as warlords
Insinuates the future of glory to come.
Open to emigration from across waters
Today is our day

Paranoia, thy name  is Valerie
My buried bones you've bared.
My skeleton is out of  the bag
And my cat is out  of the  closet.

I feel exposed to the discernment of a despot.
I cannot...

O mind
My small ruminant
Chewing with your untiring teeth
Days gone by
Pulled out from the pages of a book that no one reads anymore 
What are you looking for there? 
It's just a pointless routine 
Or like...

Once upon a spring arcadian green
  a last veil winter hoar melts on the bud -
Romney low country lambs fattened to wean
  chew in flocks upon the ruminant cud.
In stone moss stream, long...

Mary possessed a ruminant child
its fuzziness was sickly pale
and as Mary moved about 
the child would take the same trail.

He tracked her to a learning place
that broke the laws of it.
The kids each made a...

A child I do not know his citizenship
travels nations rummaging, rampaging
he has no origin but  has relatives
but the child knows not how to share

Omnivorous, carnivorous and ruminant
his teeth grinds anything; canal receives all 
At...

Long Necked Ruminant 

So you think a camel is just an ugly animal,
a camel has kissable lips and eyes like 
Marilyn Monroe; and it gives milk, low fat and 
nourishing. But I bet you didn’t...
