In quilting class, we’re making balls;
We cut and sew and stuff
And stitch and stuff some more until
The ball is firm enough.
The pieces start as pentagons
In fabrics that we choose,
So all the projects look unique
When we are sharing views.
I’ve made one for each grandchild,
For these quilted balls are fun,
Which I proudly showed my husband
Just as soon as they were done.
As I go to post this poem, though,
I do wonder, when it’s read,
If the Poet Police will change my balls
To asterisks instead.

Paint the sky with your very own stars...four point diamonds, pearls of pentagons sprinkling speckles in a giant galaxy with melodic moons interconnecting in the cosmos. Being the composer of your creation uniting visuals with music from a storyline that sparkles. Indeed imagination possesses the contemporary artist, and alchemist.

Grimlocke was given a soccer ball as a gift,
Though he didn't know what to do with it.
He is an Oracle so crystal would have been prefered,
But the stitched pentagons are like pentagrams of which he did observe.
So Grim took the soccer ball and placed it on a rotating stand,
And then opened up his doors to allow querents to come in.
With dim lights, incense and some soothing music,
He began his foretelling, open to the public.
Now he tried his very, very best,
But grass, dirt and leather seemed to daunt his quest.
And before long, people would begin to troll,
As all his readings were simply ending with the exclamation, "Goal!"

Global village is under attack
From all directions
Pentagons too
For the first time
Enemy is in hide!

Karma incarnate
Symbolize synapses
refrain recreate
Blades of grass
Cannabolize compliance
Unions unite
Tongues of trauma
Ignited ironies
Cycle compromises
Earth and Sky
Nuisance nefarians
Babel blessings
Kingdoms of self
Tetrahedron tongues
Idiom intrigue
Scythe of time
Wakes within
Primal pentagons
Minutes of minuscules
Frequent furtherings
Amock amiables
Omens of obsession
Useless understoods
Dogmatic dharmas
Wanting of whispers
Eccentric eclipses
Quartz quintessentials
Yearnings of yesterday
Luminous liverys
Radiant resonomes
Gifted of grafted
Can their be an ever prana evolutionary
Element endeavor of human Zen-nus
That soulifies our right to be, exist
Here, denote, to qualify compassionately
as a universal quotient of internalness
setting a global tone and local mise
To open yourself completely
to that unconditional
Quartz of Spirit.

the box i opened
smelled like a haunted house
the scenario that I planed for today
will not occur
this agreement between me and
the awareness of possibilities
these measured scenarios
had created unidentifiable risks
its flaps soft with the opening an closing of time
dust at the bottom created the layers
progressively you were packed away
on the highest shelf
instructing the skin to crystallize was
included with the directions
as were the batteries and some string
voices in the shape of pentagons
raised them selves up on edge and started
down a long corridor of significant violations
so many of them passed me
jangling keys and questions,
measuring their height, width, and depth
in an effort to implement themselves
I peeled the tape away from dry and dusty cracks
the brane colapsed,
its particles released
floating up into my eyes, nose ,and throat
the light catches them dancing
in the pure space between,
suspended form
this paper-mache daydream
an elusive face hangs,
quarantined in mid air
exposed to nothing
at the beginning of nothing at all
