Wife's Materials
She's a farmer's daughter
She's a tractor driver
She's a scholar in the school
She's a taekwondo belter
She's a writer, cartoonist
She's a beauty pageant winner
She's a good cook
She's a dog lover
She's a chess player
She's run out of beauty.

Symphony of School Supplies
The school bell's chorus wakes a drowsy room,
Sunlight spills, a golden, dusty plume.
Desks, once dormant, morph to galleons grand,
Ready to set sail to each uncharted land.
Chalk, a spectral hand, whispers wisdom's lore,
Unveiling mysteries on the darkened shore.
Sharpeners gnash their teeth, devouring leaden dreams,
Leaving silver whispers where logic's spotlight beams.
Globes, like captive Earths, continents in hold,
Beckon's

The Productive Land
The lands are full of treasures
The pottery materials
The costruction materials
The plants
The rivers
The mountains
The minerals
But once they are under man's feet
Man lost the respect for them
They explore
They conquer
They exploit
Until they become "deserts"

There is both fear and defiance in this horse's eye, but why?
The horse was NOT scared
I’m a war horse and nobody messes me with me
Not even aliens who think they’re big and hard!
Or so the horse defiantly thought
Well he also thought he was a horse but but but…
The horse was actually a spaceship!

His Dark Materials 2
I like fantasy but personally think it should be measured,
one parallel universe is fine but three is not fine;
you could say that the sky's the limit but I disagree,
rather like no budget for building a house it seems to me.
A client came to me - said he wanted the best house in the road,

The Materials of Criticism - By Bob Atkinson
The Materials of
Criticism
- by Bob Atkinson
to look upon a word
fixed art
for value of the
whole or parts
begins a journey
demonstrated
to frustrate each of
the five senses
do we? could we? can
we?
here in the "here
and now"
produce our cultural
standing
by lining words in a
row
can we? do we? could
we?
put value on our art
or would it suffice
to percolate
ingredients in a pot
that which makes

Building Materials
Building Materials
It takes so long to understand
How the fractures of the past
Reach the home of the future
With such a stealthy hand
All the foundations
That you braced and propped
All the restorations
Made in cement and bricks
The plasterwork
Which seemed so seamless
Begins to show the cracks
While the girders and supports
Begin to resemble
A prison
Your own hands have wrought
Time you felt would

Materials and Chemicals
A tonic that I inhale,
Can save me from this endless day,
but I have a dream
that one day I will live without useless things,
be free from all materials keeping me down,
and I will be like a tree content within the forest,
happy and free where I choose to slumber.
