Con-sequen-ces to living, barriers un-forgiving scape of
Mean choice's denying sponteanous voices, you are free
To choose.! Yet maybe you could loose? Better restrain
Your views' As for the environment he will choose..him
The anti-one.' Voicer of reasons of much division makes
One.? Lover of diversity yet never enhancing modernity.?
Lowering the debate, to a feral state..Advice to save lives.!
While weilding the ultimate lie..Safe the directive.' Turns
Out it was defective.' Its all such a shock.! Experts eye the
Dock..Not as the doctor ordered.' Strange co-insidence
Making up a potion to keep humanity ringfenced. No real
Co-hesion or plan (it was unknown to all humans) first
Was cold storage even needed.? In mask carcinogenic content,
Health impeded'
Politicans were so vehement just one life lost.! to
Them was a (great cost?) Like they observed all things in small
Numbers.' Food defense, spending agriculture all worked
In hundreds, Oh they were not used to numbering in
Millions.! Its all small scale just like the money.? Which
Is often less than ten bucks.?? Which they offer to the
Homeless when they are proving they don't care less for
Those who've served their country's who are now penalised
By these numptys.' who are virtue signalling addictive
Which imbues them with a large mantle of vindictive.'
As they serve and promote satan who owns them all through net gain of function' now zero rated..If not to

There were times when I was young…when I got on my parent’s nerves…
when I did things they did not like…
when they wanted me out of their hair they might tell me, “Go take a hike”
Of course that meant to stop bugging them…to let them be…to go away…
to read a book, watch TV or go outside and play.
Now that I am older (perhaps a little wiser) and not so child-like
I find a different meaning in the words…”Go take a hike.”
The other day Deborah and I took a hike…as hiking goes it was small scale
in the Pisgah Nations Forest along the Moore Cove Waterfall trail.
It’s only a mile and a half hike from the trail head to the waterfall and back.
which means we only took our walking sticks and water…no need for a back pack.
On a hike up a mountainside…ending at the Moore Cove waterfall…
we walked among trees so tall and mushrooms and ferns so small.
Up stairs, atop boardwalks and on paths carved out over the years
this hike in the woods offered treats for our eyes, our noses, our ears.
We like to take our time on hikes…to enjoy the things if we walked fast we might miss
and since we’ve taken this hike before…to stop and reminisce.
As we slowly and gently climbed the stairs…and maneuvered over fallen logs…
we met other hikers…individuals and families with their children an their dogs.
It’s funny how we noticed …in fact we found this striking…
how the people we met along the way were in various stages of hiking.
The children all ran ahead…not bothering to look around at all…
their goal was not to hike but to get to the waterfall.
Their parents walked a little slower with their main goal
to make sure their children were safe all the way to the waterfall
And then there was Deborah and I…with no one to watch and so much to see
we were the slowest hikers of them all.
The waterfall was magnificent…cascading high above and sheltered from the sun
but for us the journey to reach that waterfall was filled with just as much fun.
I’m glad we’re older now…able to slow down when we walk and find so many things we like
We’ve changed a lot since those days our parents use to tell us…Hey kids, Go take a hike.
In a wide street of commuters and passers by
rare is road disorder, measured in a small scale
busy minds, walking legs, punchers of devices,
a quick censors and smart gadgets top the stats
sitting, walking, eating or talking, one powered tool is present
life has evolved, blood has turned digital
without the emission of rays, air will not spread
tragedy embraces a compatriot to be in pain
the first helper is agent delay, followed by a community of phones
his cry only increases the pixels of these portables
a poor in need of help, treated like an abstract epiphany
the first human appears for an incredible assistance
the accompanying round of applause had no genuine power
hands from strong hearts jam to form a clunk
the scene ends and everyone is back to the virtual world again.
WOLS EKPHRASIS
Tachiste,blot and stain,spontaneous of
the moment ,like life itself can so often be.
Small scale in composition,compulsive
unrecognised at the time,yet literal and
long lasting,are the memories we see
Inspired by Wols ‘Composition’ c 1950
PALMER EKPHRASIS
In a Shoreham garden,scent
of blossom fills the air,a white
blaze of spring to make every
heart sing.Impressioniste before
its time.A profusion of clouds
or blobs,dabs &extravagences
per se.This stylised enigma
proliferacy in a pastoral wood
by a once-upon-a-time teen-age
prodigy..made good.
Inspired by Samuel Pamer’s in
A Shoreham Garden 1827

REBIRTH
glories
of
a cultural flowering
a revival
once barren
in a
traumatic fragmented
schism
a comeback
an
elaborate
creative perspective
on crossed
horizons
this discovery
&mastery reinvigorated
immediate
in maturity
with small measure
yet simultaneous
possibilities
of patronage arise
extravagantly
grandiose & complex
to proclaim & emphasise
a lifestyle
well made
in symbols
anecdotes
on a small scale
genre scenes
a relative calm
of elegance
simple
satisfying
longings
THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
MONDRIAN
Fluid interaction
of poise & rhythm
spirals float
linear lines
circular shapes
small scale
fascination of freshness
perception personified
touches the eye
of the beholder
A floating tension
between weight&
lightness
reflections &
symbolic sensations
abstract &realism
combine
in tactile relief
long incised lines
of beauty
where enigma lies

CASCADES
of anguished
brilliance
appears
to be shared
with the self-aware
&
vulnerable
unsuccessful
but
provides a
self-image
in
multiple ways
with
complicated
intentions
&circumstances
thoughts&
touch
a single
state of mind
each
leave their trace
a personal style
all played
out
on a
small scale
derived
from looking
at the face
in shadowed
interplay
a transition
surrounded
& faded to nothing
in a disconcerting
way
between self
&image
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
