Long Sieving Poems

a ghost haunts the country of Laos
sieving through jungles
crackling twigs because
it has not yet died
beware of it
the one who drags one foot
while the other rots 20 feet away
shoes made of cast metal
footprints ever so present

Outside it has started to rain
Sitting in my porch I watch,
The elements mix and mingle
Kneading the pulverized dust      
      
The drizzle has gained a sudden...

Strange sedition stealthy sets 
cloaked in artificial greening phiz
some by prejudice inquiring, 
“Where are you from”?
others in feigning frame avoiding,
finding paths away from you,
Though harmless your looks.
There be those secluding, 
choosing space dodging.
deliberate speed the...

“Sundar means beautiful,” the natives write— 
The mangroves of south dance beneath daylight
With the flair of a gypsy drunk and bold
Swirling her skirt of salt. And callous gold
Prowls the swamp after trotting prey in flight.

I may have been bullied 
and I may have been slandered 
but I ain’t no pussy 
or a backdoor bandit

with desperate standards 
alike feeble cowards 
sieving slander 
needing power 

their grace honour and pride abandons...

Your intentions are meant for goodwill
Your heart is as white as snow
Seeking to identify and bail out
For selflessness is your part
And opportunism is your sworn enemy
Like rain droplets
You come in plenty
Secrecy is not your portion...

On 14th Feb, valentines day
I spent my afternoon
lying lazily on the hammock at the beach
pondering over the dreams of my youths
with truth constantly reflecting
wondering if true love ever exists
gazing blindly around
not sure of what I...

Eternal sleep! cozy and might,
the morning in Eden's bright,
canopy of happiness, sieving joy's light.

Touch of freedom, kiss of esteem
pumping all back , fair redeem! 

Sweet,sweet sleep,
never on this land again, to rise and weep.

Slit on...

ELUSIVE SAPPHIRE
BY
Kevin L Fairbrother
The Willows west of Emerald
A place to relax and try your luck
For in the ground around the town
The elusive Sapphire lies hidden

Digging and sieving the wash
Specking the ground for color
Tons of dirt...

I accidently let one loose today
I've cooked earth's goose its fair to say
I won't pretend it wasn't me
Soon it'll be clear for all to see.

Who even knew that was a containment field
and an innocent stumble...

The orient rays through the tree tops
Illuminating the foliage,shades of green
Sieving through the mist, hallowing land.
My mind wakes to an soothing breeze

Meadows crowned by myriad dews
Glittering to welcome the morning sun-
That tickles the hillside limpid...

Eternal sleep! cozy and might,
the morning in Eden's bright,
canopy of happiness, sieving joy's light.

Touch of freedom, kiss of esteem
pumping all back , fair redeem!

Slit on throat, kiss of blade
A garland around the nape.

Fall to rise,again...

With ego donned, soul's edge now rough,
discernment as the tool employed,
tranquil at both life's crest and trough,
sees demons of darkness destroyed.

Refinement is a slow process,
laboured breathing, fear forms sieving,
where we both regress and progress,
strobes of...

Time flies when you're not concentrating.

It slyly and sneakily separates
its victims from their past minutes and hours,
not sieving or selecting ... just on the take.
All your best and worst times are packed away,
a portfolio of...

Thanksgiving 2021
By Franklin Price

November, the month of Thanksgiving
I'm thankful that I am still living
For family and friends
And not wearing depends
For my brain that sometimes is sieving

It's the month of my birthday also 
The month of...

I sometimes wander
into the wilderness of doubt
…off the beaten path
of conformity
My spirit walking barefoot
through contradictions
gathering the dust
of beliefs to trust

What’s seen at first
as a barren land
is filled with discarded ideas
Philosophies and concepts
of different mindsets
are as...

Awake, oh hermit! Employ innate flair
Sieving vibrations as they do arise
Intercepting each desire in midair!

Feeling the stirrings, within our heart rise
Before they crystallise into a thought
View these cravings with nonchalant surprise 

Vigilant mindfulness the way,...
