Anticipation is like hitting a single
Expectation is like hitting a double
Participation is like hitting a triple
Revelation is like hitting a homerun

Let the rainbow nudge you
That there is a pot of gold
If you dare to dream
Dream and discover an endowment unable to be measured
Let the rainbow nudge you
That promises do come true
If you dare to believe
Believe and experience a downpour of extraordinary treasures
Let the rainbow nudge you
That true love will answer any call
If you dare to reveal your true self
Reveal yourself and watch seeds begin to sprout in your soul
Let the rainbow nudge you
That you are never without hope
If you dare to have faith
Have faith and experience the joy of tomorrow even before it unfolds
Let the rainbow nudge you
To dare to participate in your dreams

PARTICIPATION
Will my verse reach your ear
can your eye stay the course
listening,then writing my verse I awake ,
content until the next time,
the chords at my finger tips drift
back and forth into a song.
Take a deep breath,exhale and
read between my lines
An image alights as a butterfly in spring,
a thought arrives as inspiration on the wing.
An idea resides to crystallize and
brings each together as one.
Does convention confound
the rhythm of your eyes
Oh to avoid convention's game
make the image surreal upon my page.
a Stop,dear reader in your stride,
bring forth your imagination and join me on this ride.this
in the realm
of the mind,
replete with thoughts
inspiration thrives,
discerns over spills,
to reveal
then configure
and emerge:
a fragrance
to dwell,stay
and perhaps
haunt another

many people wished to know why president Macron
was denied to participate to Brics summit
in South Africa.
Could he spy on them?
Was he thinking to join Brics?
Could he interrupt the summit with his personal agendas?
President Putin could not participate to the summit
as the International Criminal Court was pushing
South African officials to arrest him which could interrupt the Brics summit.
Brazil’s president " Lula da Silva" called on Wednesday
for the Brics nations to create a common currency
for trade and investment between each other,
as a means of reducing their vulnerability
to dollar exchange-rate fluctuations.
BRICS formally announced Iran,
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Argentina,
Egypt and Ethiopia as full
members starting from
January next year.
President of South Africa received many appreciations
for the good role of negotiator and organiser
of a successful Brics summit.

Participation
I like to observe people, and the way they talk and act.
My dog observing me, knows when she has done
something wrong I’m angry, she also knows
my anger I mixed with love.
As a talented dog, she reads other people's minds also
baring her teeth if she thinks they are antagonistic.
I was a member of a Scandinavian group my dog
didn’t like them, so I quit.
I’m not a real poet if I sound like one it is entirely
by accident; however, I have written a few books
of vignettes, they serve the distinctions of not being read.
I never bother about this side; what is written stands
like a beacon that tells me I also participated.

The best
contest,
so fun,
is one
in which
you ditch
all thoughts
that lots
of time
with rhyme
and with
real pith
will get
you set
to win
with pen
a note
you wrote
to cheers
from peers
because
it does
stand out
about
a theme
you seem
to state
with weight
and grace;
to place
with verse
perverse
or terse
or worse
instead,
ahead
of none
save one,
the guy,
who by
mistake,
did make
a goof,
and poof!
DQ
anew.
Surprise,
surprise,
all tries,
first prize,
upsized
with fries!
Big lol,
that's all...

BECOMING SEVENTY
I was riding high
Leaving behind sixty nine
I celebrated the departure of sixty six
My born day is 9/6. Who needs 666?
I'd rather write a book
A gift to those who care;
Call it forgiveness.
I ponder therapy
It has gone too far with my Therapist
Finally, at seventy, I take the blame, the lead
The speed with which I'll feed gourmet dish
It percolates from within
When, why, how would you humbly sit?

With the Corona now behind us
The whole world began to lift
Even the pollution sighed with we
Have we entered our human shift
With sporadic participation
We eased back to previous life
Leaving behind the uncertainty
That left so many in strife
It's now been many years
The fortunate get to look back
As we remember those who can't
Never again shall we slack

We've torn down buildings, and built new ones
Yet we have no foundation.
We are illiterate to what we truly feel and breathe unless,
It is seen else where first.
It too is a reality that we've created.
This feeling that can only be described in Braille.
We too are restricted.
These bumps that go unnoticed.
The mumps in the crevice we band aid until it's too late.
We continue to tear down these fortresses of ourselves.
What concerns most is that I see myself in you.
The same love and laugh that become the building blocks that haults the storm.
Yet we reject each other due to the mentality of our environment.
With lack of understanding,
We fail to embrace choosing the cause and effect of all differential.
We seek to destroy forgetting what's important.
We work against each other doing more damage that good.
We need each other to further emancipation.
To build one another once this storm reaches peak.
As simple as it sounds it becomes more complex.
To build a new building on top shakey ground.
Everything must be cleared out.

Audience Participation
The quiet minions are cheering
ranting in their millions
the irony of enthusiasm
screaming at the animated postcards
element of their discordant reflections
Between adverts the devil dances
for the soul selling constituents
entertainments and soap opera truths
stab in the back and all the series-ousness
electrified plasmatic glass can muster
Still the family is together
baking emotions on heated issues
everything to say says it all
but nothing at all
to one another
Human enemy weapons
gathered together in their millions
dancing with the dangerous criminals
of freedom
ecstatic for the truth
and silent when it is not

Anticipation of Precipitation
Could be with contemplation and anticipation
We are becoming a portion of the participation
Of weather with rain,
Which was once in Spain;
Became pat of our planned precipitation.

To me you are my destination
And to you I am
A target of destruction
To me you are a friendly union
And to you I am
Just a time pass combination
We are both human creation
So why this is
Such an agonizing confusion
God has gifted determination
To both of us
To become a lovable inspiration
But we are showing indignation
By deliberately
Forgetting humanity aspiration
We are failed in the examination
Given by the Lord
By showing our foul resignation
Let’s come by for a culmination
To represent our
True account of the unification

When the monopoly game rings out
Who stands stubborn pushing their clout?
Where does reality bounce?
On the chessboard of hope and change
Taxes rearranged, fiat shuffling
Help the sick and needy
The court jester needs buffering
I'm calling the foolhardy bluff
That redistricts citizen electioneering
The jibe is up
Career politicians dancing with time
While TV auctions stamp the mind
We must participate
In the creation of our own lives
Hatchet the grid that chants otherwise

Oh we ostriches, my fellow man.
They led us here and pointed saying this is sand.
Lest by chance a fool we hap to be.
The truth is plain for all to see.
Time to struggle and throw a fit.
Yuck phooey and out we spit.
Thats not sand its ________.
