Long Sloths Poems

I.

Espy, distinguish divinely made lively, lovely Trees
Unisex Trees, inhales carbon dioxide, then breathes
out for us humans, life given clean oxygen
Stout roots run deep, holding God's earth
Also, with you we were taught our first lesson

CHAPTER 4 The Eagle (continued)

Swinging up it glanced the raptor
Merely brushing through its wing-plumes
But the eagle lost its balance 
And released its hold on Rosy
 
Who then plummeted in freefall
But the bird regained its rhythm 
And hard turning...

On Mother's Day.
That Sabbath Day, I put flame to eight candles and knelt down to pray.

I humble myself with fasting to intensify my communication with God who is our all and all.
During that spiritual and...

Sloths, the slowest creature
slowest mind
slowest feature
as you sit upon that bleacher
waiting for a simple teacher
you feel something is missing 
yet nothing is missing
you want something to be missing 
to find something fitting 
this is like...

Walk through the jungle, and realize how calm and silent the day can be.
Creatures of every kind roam, big and small, venomous and dangerous—each defined by their nature. Yet peace still exists.

Recently—in times of growth,...

It Came From the Depths of Space

By Elton Camp

It was created at the time of the Solar System’s birth
And traveled millions of miles before it reached Earth
When it reached the atmosphere, it had no way...

THE WAITING GAME

I'm playing the waiting game,
not futilely nor waiting in vain.
My delivery, my parcel my expectation;
forces me to ambulation. 

I want it now,
my elixir my kisser; 
sit and lull for the lister; 
who swore...

Without Reason and Without Cause

Doodle around and then relax;
then doodle some more and pass.
And hope tomorrow won’t hide the sun,
though your course already has run.

Cease this whimsical nonsense
—liberate and act, not the fool,
but prove your...

The Front Window Cogitation
By Sy Roth

Observed the others drowning in their tears.
A pasty rain inks the front window
Sad remnants of a broken sky in Kandinsky splashes 
Marked on an ancient, bubble-blown glass. 

Outside cars distorted,
People...

A moment so precious as they stand and await
Bands that will unite them from their very first date

Coupled to union amidst family and friends
Detours and paths life to their adjoined intend

Everlasting their love as they...

A corpse breathed on the sofa
as the fridge kept things cold.
The telephone rang and the cats "meowed"
while music played downstairs.

The living corpse lay on the sofa
and the fridge still kept the food cold...
A child's dream...

Mere words ready to knock on our salient heavenly doors,
And what does a Royal face See,what does a clean mind read in Sodom and 
Gomorrah's sexfilled cockpits,bottomless abysses exhaling the throes of 
passion filled wet...

from three miles away
the unmistakable sounds~
of howlers chorus  

a slithering snake. 
crushing prey without mercy~
green anaconda  

small eyed black caiman
twenty foot alligator  ~
watching and waiting 

waiting in the trees  
unsuspecting deer...

The morning on Mars back to the moon,
lunch at high noon,  a short nap
Tea on this planet with a celestial map
That will be your schedule soon

This year the vacation’s planned for Andromeda
It’s only a...

“Reality”

I am a Jaguar. 
Brownish-yellow fur, patches of black markings
resembling of a rose. 
I search for food
Stalking my prey behind trees, 5
But there are none. 
I walked a million miles,
All for nothing. 
Struggling to hunt...

How did the jungle get here?
Did it come on a train
like an old time circus
          rolling in before dawn
while we splattered mind-nets

Anacondas crush to pieces
Bisons sport long shaggy hair
Cheetahs are the fastest species
Dolphins leap into the air
Elephants have large incisors
Fennec foxes, ears like Spock
Great white sharks unnerve the divers
Hyenas are laughing stock
Indris is a type of...

Peace-filled like pigeons, 
Solemn like sloths, 
Composed like cranes;
Swift, like saints and sages,
Or like hills and mountains, 
Freed of pains...!

Relaxed like lambs, 
Focused like cranes, 
Free, like, butterflies;
Keeping the inner mind, 
Like an innocent child,...

Weighted calls drift across the morning 
sky and cats begin to stretch their licking legs.

The milkman's horse sloths its way 
up Prospect Lane. 

And birds turn off their alarms and tune up 
their vocals whilst...

He sits alone; they think he is dull, 
In the last desk of the class; he paints
a world of his own-a teacher enters! 
His eyes brighten once again, a sheer
hope of determination brings back the

Labouring like ants and bees, humans of goodwill gather
Being sloth-filled like sloths, does one have the right to scatter?
With nobleness, each being should acknowledge the other
If one fails to hail the other, will the other...
