Mitigated Poems

Thought of the day

no sooner an impulse is articulated ~
the taste of what could have been is mitigated

Aphorism Things of Life

the biggest things
whatever they are,
  are always smaller
than our delusions....

So are the problems:
no matter how big they are
can always be
solved...

These are the pains:
as huge as they are,
can always be
mitigated...

Only life is
phenomenally huge...
and can always be
superlative...!
Since it never ends...

Olive Branch

Specious logic, serpentine manoeuvres, designed to disorient heart and mind, with a view to securing a psychological advantage are seen through by centred presence, which yet humorously indulges the play underway awhile, that the adversary’s eventual sense of triumph be not mitigated by discordant rejoinders proposed by lower mind, having recognised that ephemeral waves of the ocean rise and subside in time as ordained, melding with the vastness.

performing our role
as dreams within dreams unfold ~
let us smile awhile

Anglophone Aficionado Exudes Infatuation With English Language Number 2

Ah, twas only by a fluke conversation,
whence a speech pathologist
informed my parents about
the Lancaster Cleft Palate clinic,
where oral an examination
revealed minor birth defect
identified as a submucous cleft palate,
which explained the severe pinched twang
somewhat mitigated by wearing
a removable prosthetic
fashioned by Prosthodontist

Dr. Mohammad Mazaheri MSC, DDS
fastened with clasps to upper teeth
whereby a makeshift miniature
plastic protuberance closed the gap
so air would be prevented
passing thru my button nose
and thus gentle and soft as a shutterfly
shunted air out thee oral opening
though congenital defect disallowed
returning merchandise back to sender
nor could blame be affixed

at either father nor mother
who both harbored the genetic mutation
now such admissions
re: aforementioned impediment allows,
enables and provides boasting rights
if in a mood to temper
any curiosity or satisfying a rumor
whispered down the alley,
whence I said “ah”
left nagging nincompoops
as if pie hole filled with a gobstopper.

Eclipse

Originated a celestial event in the sky
Fascinated the cosmic ring of fire over the spire
Mitigated the intensity of the sparkling sun by the new moon
Elated and witnessed by the people of northern tier. 

Still some believe eclipses as bad omens but the tales
Thrill us those were told in myths and legends of many cultures.
Will those fantasies be read by the lovely kids? Hope so.
Instill fun and enrich their imagination with vivid colors.

Celebration

Celebration mitigated by thought
Entrapment in a narrow ego slot
Stagnant waters, dead without aeration
Delusion impelling our contraction 
Piquant dilemma by our own hand brought 

Agendaless innocence is self-taught
Flowing like the breeze; felt but never caught
Aliveness, incessant play in motion
Celebration 

Thought rested awareness, cleans ego blot
Reclaiming self; no longer in fear fraught
Unshackled, bursts forth bubbling elation
Delighting in throbbing bliss ignition
Slash off here and now, the Gordian knot

Execution

Execution

In the absence of complication,
intricacies of wayward living,
matters emphatically mitigated,
compelling conclusions, well-received,
extenuating circumstance accomplishes,
impressive consequences, be enduring,
proffers a conciliatory concession, 
for toward said conclusion, we pray that all our
trials and tribulations become distant memories.

Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
amidst the enshrined immersed in the contributable phosphorous azure sea, 
encouraged glissades a capricious peacock anointed from an Irish spring, 
envisage a virtuous seduced meadow saturated with consistent meandering streams,
lands righteous depths fluidity of the membranes cortex wherever valedictory flourish,
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.

New Morn In Birth Occasion

M-orn in birth occasion
A-lleviates your distress; 
R-ising sun has mitigated
Y-our pain and sadness.
F-ifth day of September
L-essens the degree of chill; 
O-pen your heart to the warmth
R-elayed by a thousand thrill.

I-n your birth occasion
N-ew morn has broken; 
O-pen your life and soul
T-o the joy in seventh heaven.

T-o the beautiful dawn
O-pen both your eyes; 
L-ook at the early light, 
E-ver bright, not in disguise.
N-atural wonder of dew
T-ruly tickles your emotion; 
I-t's a fresh moment to feel, 
N-ew morn in birth
O-ccasion.

Bubble

Some day the inconsequential may find itself revealed

Dare to walk this plateau of significant insignificance 
this mind of indifferent
and apply such a steadfast mitigated circus
in clogged up self-ingratiated opinions

Better that every servant serves their purpose
and reads their script like everyone else
dance to the tune
along with the trained dogs of celluloid wealth

Portrayed in the skin of isolated pomposity
such an Oscar awarded to political sneers
those outbursts of emotional mendacity 
a mere expense of fashion is how easy 
life appears 

Overburdened with concern
realities unreality of box office applause
pandemonium headlines what a celebrity can earn
and every act is acted by pressing play or pause

Just another show motion, another accolade of pretense
another incontinent photo moment to make them all proud
another vacuous misinterpretation
in their own overpaid defense 
just street entertainers blowing their bubbles into the crowd

Then skip down the streets yelling bubbles, bubbles should not be allowed

Now Really a Coat In a Coat But No Socks

Vibrations of a visionary vivarium is a notion best perceived by a motionless cuckoo clock. Now carefully wind the handle and watch as the bird emerges to shout. Wow. Fantastic isn't it? It is a monogamy of a monorail that keeps a mongoose entertained. Wild whale whisking wafers. But a nice symphony orchestra could arrive to the tunes of the wind. And a charismatic pickle placed in a sandwich could charm even the most Kitagawa mitigated circumstance of an ancestral framework. Circumference then. Oh it is a square not a three dimensional triangle. Neither is it a robotic rhombus in a car held up in a roadwork. Roadside duodenal rhododendron. Pickle not a very small grapefruit then. Ha ha the cloud is watching television today with the storm. Hahaha oceans going to the cinema today. Hahaha eel pie with toasted waffle. *** anthropomorphic anthropology. Xxxx pathologically z.

Chin Chip Chop But No Chillis Not Yet

Pinprick ideology is a shatter of soul. Pins play placing polio poorly. And poodles arrive in vast kaleidoscopic numerals to bring numerous numbers to many studious tables. Tablets take hold of fortresses and a midway huff is a billy goat gruff throwing acorns at traffic on the A29. Appropriate format for lions who reach to paw at breads, beads butter, baboons, boars, books and boys arriving for a sow ester of the apex of rain combustion. A party they say. But a mongoose is not to be mitigated on a mitigation. Nor a template of explosive excrement sizzling in the morning. But Burt does diesel dance. And a sizzled hooded wooded kiss in a skirt of canopy. Hahaha now blunder balls ballet. Hahaha xx love baboons birthday xxxxx coniferous z that p y a report on all the things xxxxx z teapot z

The Journey

The Journey.....
The 'dusk' has witnessed seasons all,
 
Tough journeys on soft roads.
 
Twists and Turns unexpectedly swirled,
 
Morning dew to ringlets of sweat.
 
Blooming gardens to sheets of autumn,
 
Hopes flowered and despairs shed.
 
Adrenaline rushes calmed by certitude,
 
Chaotic companies bled to Solitude.
 
Masks mitigated by naked truths,
 
Joys of labor bearing fruits.
 
Bound together,
 
Mingled as ONE,
 
Enduring naturally all that hurled.
 
We have clung to US on the roller coaster of emotional fuel,
 
The journey has been nothing less than a duel ....

Faith Is

To have maintained a faith in a creator is not just to know he is beyond the many new stars just past this night's sky. Moreover, when mitigated as newborn points of light to most, but when examined by the few, therein each to view as the many joyful tears soon to also exclaim exaltation to, "He who Causes to Become" - Jehovah our God!

Drug Addict

This feedlot of ancestral glitter
how tiresome, now a  rummaged litter
a mitigated financed quitter
the addict, driven to mass rid stir!

As nature's boundaries pray beauty
the homeward bound, lost soul's forced duty
is to give in, give up, take booty
as dignity's rebuff thrives loosely!

Monopolizing wealth's consider
the numbers game, let live on bitter
your choice is here, from us, don't quiver
but take the drug, that made you sicker!

The addicts prayer is but a flicker
of hope to ride out, faith's endeavor,
as saying NO, still presses lever
insidious pressures force is ever!

The pushers living off receivers
to modify their conscious efforts
then vandalize the paycheck's rather
and hypnotize feeling together!

A Cocktail of Kaleidoscope

(ALLITERATION)
Cows milked: mitigated mooing in the meadows then
Weaving on the warp, some workaholic women

Harvest of hapless halibuts on hooks
Bookish book-worms buried in books

A palomino and a pony patter on the paving
Hucksters and hawkers hawking every housing.

Ravers out on the razzle raising a raucous razz-ma-tazz
Beavers busy building beaver-dams but about it quite blasé.

Doves cooing in divine chorus
Frogs frisking out of focus
Horoscopes are hocus pocus.

Tidal waves of tsunami treacherously tread
Sea-anemones scattered upon the sea-bed.

Geraniums genuflecting in jungle-like gardens
Hunters wary of wandering wild-life wardens.

All this when I ventured about videotaping
Nature's much nicer even with no landscaping

These are direly different scenes from different parts of the globe
Perhaps like a space probe's kaleidoscopic poetic probe
