Pivot Poems

Pivot Point

We’re spinning in circles, more of the same
induced to cut loose from this coiled regime
As our heads are enveloped with this unending earworm:
the land is burning, hope is going, when can we get out?

Dining on our daily portion of despair
suicides ripple through, crippling the status quo
We hear an ever-crescendoing whisper to a roar:
the land is

Pivot

Perhaps we can
Prevent committing
Perjury if we can
Pivot away from
Prevarication long enough to
Posit the truth when 
Presenting ourselves at traffic court

Pivot Point

He did it because no one else could have done.
Hands raised in praise, yet so few ever know.
I guess it’s enough just to know that he won,
but there’s more I wanted to understand so

I sought for an answer, unwritten in pen -
why he subjected himself to it all?
Why the injustice from birth until when
the climax

Should he expose himself and exhibit?
Be big pain;
Cause strain,
By bothering others and them inhibit.

symmetrical existence
life divided equally
peaceful calm, steady thoughts

The Pivot

he plants his right hind
rocks back onto his haunches
front crossing over
he falls into his pivot
with practiced ease and beauty

Pivot Point

Pivot Point ~ Poetry by Christine A Kysely

 

I have traveled far throughout my years
about a Fulcrum's Path...
A Pivot Point that has held my life
to a course already given.
Nothing at all random...
Nothing ever unplanned...
Everything is certain...
The Fate's control of Man.

Belief that in the Father...
Belief that in the Son...
Belief that in the Future...
Whatever will be
Will come...

I
