TONGUE TWISTER

        Fantastic fun on scholastic enjoyment
        assessing accessing accepting accent,
        pointing permitting possible permutation,
        claiming cunning clever combination,
        sorting syllables on restricted selection
        yielding rough tough pronunciation.
        Neither fumbled nor jumbled being wobbled weak.
        No boredom, speak random speedy quick.  
                                                              
       Talk faster ignoring protester.         
       Wrap teeth and tongue to entrap
       Ralph Malph’s mouth agape
       bombarding bewildering audience
       with competence, confidence   
       and coinciding Tongue- Twister.

Something More

If space is not eternal,
what happens when space ends

Can we define what emptiness is,
its borders to portend

Is there a hidden permutation,
for what dimension has in store

With the end of all beginning
—infused with something more

N-ight stars and sunlight
K-iss one another away,

It Took His Blood
Written: by Tom Wright
January 2015

So many times my thoughts appear driven,
Toward a skull shaped hill and a rugged cross.
To a man known as Jesus, whose life was given,
As Divine permutation for humanity’s dross;



Either we accept Jesus’ payment on the cross,
Or we pay the price at death.

Learn From Nature

I see a mountain and I wonder,
I see a river and I wonder,
What permeates their instincts;
Is it some permutation 
Or some ever pertaining philosophy.
The consistency to flow,
The consistent grandeur,
The consistent magnanimous posture,
Instils in me a supreme passion,
A determinant instinct, to pursue,
And paint the world with such a beauty,
And fill it with the essence of purity,
The glory of truth and an inspirational glow.

Summation

What you add up to may be less,
Than what’s inside and unseen, 
But your behaviour will determine, 
Happiness by where you've been. 

Our processes can be perceived, 
By family members or role-models, 
Maybe hierarchically by meaning, 
But definitely by our rationals.

You can get real with them easily, 
Or be as complex as meteorology,
Make a point or sensible relation,
To demand a finite sociology. 

When there’s a series of events, 
That diverge in extrapolation, 
You can associate with friends, 
In commutative permutation. 

They mean absolute convergence, 
Rhyme with you and find time, 
For an ellipsis you’ve allowed, 
Which you’d like objectified fine.

You won’t falter with summation, 
It is inductively correct by step, 
Your base won’t make you a case, 
‘Cos your hypothesis will schlep.

Aquila

AQUILA

Aquila
constellations combinations 
permutation patterns her plight
of
water and flight

Eagle
wings soaring powerfully
wind ravages plummeting
her
freedom light


Feather
spiralling slowly lingering
breeze floats cradle embracing 
single
winged slight 

River
rippling chasing competitions
downward streams drive forward
dreams
floating white

Aquila
unrestrained in naked swim
cooling tranquil Aquarian
finds
Eagles height



And…..

With
Feathered Quill
Water and flight
Write

*(“Aquila” is the Latin and Romance language word for “Eagle” representing the bird carrying “Jupiter’s” thunderbolts in Greco-Roman Mythology—the constellation of Aquarius—)

Premium MemberHaiku Sparkle 3

Words trickle
Discern meaning;
Open heart surgery


Work for wealth
Pricey tag for health;
Silly permutation


Whispers
Murmurs;
Fading voices hint


Going out today
Do not delay;
Trip to find me


Questions disturb
Overturn decisions;
Offer revisions


Lost in the mists
Time and space collapse;
Sudden illumination


Smiles and winks
Hints and tints;
CSR ice cream


Yes this is it dear death:
My last testament;
Officially legal and willing


Loose change
For penny options;
Get rich quickie!

Premium MemberSomnolent

Heavy eyelids
Drooping daze;
Blur fatigue


Hot weather
Sleepy eyes punctuate;
Somnolence


Well-fed bout
Too much food;
Sleepy convulsions


Eyelids heavy
Drowsy excursions;
Dreamy ESP


Chatter in slow motion
Awareness in decline;
Afternoon nap


Rapid express
Snoring sensations;
Roomy context


One by one
Figures tumble;
Sleepy exposure


Painful waiting time
Dental appointment;
Fatal extraction!


So many things
Left unsaid;
Good conversation


Drowsy listening
After lunch break;
Learners half asleep


Crowded space
Edgy moods prowl;
Silent rage sparks


Extra dry drought
Wild fires burn;
Smoke and ashes


Take a walk
Make some small talk;
Stiff indifference


Crowded street
Lonely faces;
Anxiety engineers


Busy footsteps
Crowded mall;
Noise pollution


Brief glance
Beauty meets beast;
Bar stool permutation


By crowded footpath
Old cripple cries:
Help me, buy tissues!


Day time escapades
Sunday morning jog;
People street hog

A Deconstruction

A Deconstruction

I speak of nothing but 
destruction
Buttered prose; a mere 
distraction
Recited when the flux lines 
froze

Resolved, I became a fraction
Convergent series; no inflection
Crossed divisors as I pleased

I would grasp imagination
With fingertips; resignation
Not once would cross my mind

Was each word a permutation?
Mere chance; a fluctuation
In the cosmos more than once

Like signs they go in one 
direction
Number lines; clear infractions
They will reach and go no more
Categories: permutation, writing
Form: I do not know?

Caterpillar Dreams

How long must I eat, gorge and be bloated?
How long will I be to destruction devoted?
How long shall I stay blind with eyes myriad?
How long do I wait for the onset of a new period?

Forever anticipate the dawn of a new creation
Salvation lies in a process of permutation
What was built must be torn down and broken
Out of its tomb elegance and grace will be woken

Till then I take all that this world can provide
For without them birth of the new will be denied
Till then for survival I fight, from predators I hide
And dream dreams of another life free and untied

Beyond Permutation

I want to see again
Your two white breasts bare
And virginal
On the north and south lattitudes
Of your unmelted chest
I want them stiff and pointing upward
Like white mountains
Their milk fozen in the nipples where the sun
Laps like oceans with lazy tongues
I want my forest thick as dreams
Of ancient archetypes
Eating carbon dioxide gas for dinner
Etherizing this jiggolo of progress
That urinated on farmlands
Leaving them burnt in the acid
Vectors of hunger.
So much of our tragedy is beyond permutation,
Ecology is not a study it's life's preservation.
I want all this against the fear
Of ancient history 
And none who warned us now is Noah
Building anything to avert
The rape of my mother again, and again,
My sisters sacrificed to dregs of earth.
