Of bud bossed delicate; in its aroma much will enfold!
The turbulence of youth; also the seasoned and the old.
Tetra pedes, cross pages, sober.. in black, throughout the ages
Oh! to pass to others this understanding; and in bold.

Manifold are images, ‘thrusting now fresh into flower,
To awareness, of precious cargo; as in life’s laden bower...’
Penta metron sketch outlines, though imperfectly employed;
I reach to the stars today; as yet passes my hour!...

Translucence shows within the fading of life’s colour
As this continuing expressive awaits its turn, of another!..
My thoughts fill like pages, to blossoms in bloom
A soft falling, as petals; to your earth, my sister & brother...

To re-count of life’s possibility's... in the Rubaiyat form;
Melding its grandeur; to the bland magnitude of today’s norm!
Opening in its intricacy, the doorway to ecstasy 
Playing many a cadence, relayed from its echoes borne.

Ever may its blossoms & completeness be flowering, 
Entwining with the lines of the sages, to forever cling!
Refreshing the heart; perhaps a world? now tired and worn.
To a climax of prosody, does this weave of true praises sing.

Cannabis Sativa Mini Seedy Saga

(cuz ma life iz such a drag...
this toke kin “FAKE” hemp  
pyre aye roll out to you dear reader).

As a double jointed mathematical abbot 
and amateur chemist 
   specializing in cannabinoids
   my favorite delta-9-tetra
   hydrocannabinol (THC), 

   isolated and synthesized in 1964
weeding thru bathroom rag 
   while athwart the potty
   i.e. measuring adequate perforated 
   square roto root er, sans 
   regular toilet tissue paper 
   prior to completing important 

   private business matter 
   on the sacred porcelain chamber pot
Mary Jane made a token appearance, 
   and boy she looked smoke kin hot
asking if I wanna marry (Jane) her attired 
   in drag at a joint where Billy Bong  

   banged on by the hands of 
   a phenomenal drummer 
   taut as a hemp knot
with music in his blood 
   while blowing  fractal rings – holy Scott
the immediate utterance, 

   and rather creative bon mot
found me stock still like stone wall Jackson, 
   who unfortunately got deprived a hit, 
   nonetheless got shot
unwittingly by his own (confederate troops), 
   whose demise an awful blot

per southern cause during 
   the Civil War and if anachronism
   to receive medicinal aide available 
   instead of primitive treatment he got
(as well other wounded soldiers 
   of misfortune on the battlefield), 
 
   whose faith the any almighty power 
   could do little to save their roach invested lot
yet availing my imagination 
   to twist time like that Mobius strip 
 mortally wounded rebels and Yankees 
   free from facing death on a cot
might be successful hemp 

   entrepreneurs cultivating a little spot
of land hemp would outstrip cotton 
   as king as export to trot
orange you glad I avoided 
   the analogy with a kumquat?

Many a talented writer features
Here on Soup. Whatever dreamt up creatures
Rise and shine in the poetic limelight,
They're inspiring! And most Soupers just might
Develop their own for the site. Alone,
Creatively, their own skills hone. Mind blown!
But proof they've grown... In order to succeed,
Indeed, write to make others want to read.

The Tetra Line

A raw and calloused thumb
Sliding over steel
The sound of buzzing string
Is the only thing that's real 

A kind and loving world
A place I saw on screen
That kind that won't exist
The kind that makes me scream 

I strike another chord
I play until I bleed
It's the kind of sound I want
It's the kind of sound I need 

To make it through the day
To make it through the week
To make it through my life
To lift me when I'm weak 

I pay another bill
I write another check
I click another mouse
I'm at another desk 

I wipe it all away
When I play the tetra line
I'm in another world
The kind of world that's kind

Who's Who At the Zoo

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 monkey
Jaguars are fast and strong
Kangaroos are tall and clunky
Llamas' necks are rather long
Mandrills have red-bottomed features
Newts can grow an extra limb
Ostriches are speedy creatures
Polar bears just love to swim
Quetzels are ablaze with colour
Rattlesnakes subdue their prey
Sloths show life could not be duller
Tawny owls sleep through the day
Uakaris have red faces
Vultures scavenge on the go
Wild boar live in diverse places
X-ray  tetra brightly glow
Yaks lock horns when in a fight
Zebras' coats are black and white

Now you'll know just who is who
When you visit London zoo.

Premium Member When Sky Walks Down To Earth

When sky walks down to earth


You be a wild shower of monsoon,
and tranquillise my soft soul burning,
Seasons in tears flowed into lagoon,
and the heart sank into aches of yearning,

If you could see my blazing passion,
and feel the inside flame rising high,
See the sky walk down in obsession,
and come to my rescue, heave a sigh,

If you could feel fragrance of my love,
diffuse so quick in deep emotions,
Care to subtly caress your white dove,
and ponder over doubtful notions,

You be a dust storm of dry desert,
and blow away my inner grief, 
Gratify my thirst of deficient,
my ash rest in absolute relief !
