Damn it this is our planet!Palindrome Poem...Reverse Verse about our Perverse Universe
(flip gravity.. what goes down must then come up - sorry..read down then back up)
"In this place we all call home
Monstrously Machiavellian
Doesn’t have to be
Islands of strangers
Ominously Orwellian
Tribal totems & talismans tome
Demagogic
Or
Pedagogic logic
Instead could still see
Rangers free from dangers roam
Embraces spaces for all races & faces
Riffs not tiffs...

You'll get Yours -- Tooth for Tooth12 when I wrote this, from the perspective of a mushroom.
My gills grasping at air, but the grass is not too far;
My scales glimmering stupidly to shine through watered tar.
And in the gaseous tarmac world, I shine here far too bright,
And oh, the air, too stale if for my gills to get it right.
I long...

The Grand Design's ReplyTHE SUN
"I hate it here," says the sun,
"I shine too bright.
My endless burning's never done,
You get to glide in the velvet nigt."
THE MOON:
"Your fiery voice I hear so plain,"
The Moon then whispered, soft and low,
"I paint the world with silver stain,
And secrets of the darkness know."
THE STARS (COLLECTIVE VOICE):
The stars blinked slowly, far and high,
"Your...

Frozen Side of The SunOn the frozen side of the sun lies Svalbard.
A barren, treeless stretch of land
Buried beneath snow and stillness.
Here, the cold doesn’t just bite;
It consumes.
The whirlwind air scrapes skin with surgical precision.
For months each year, the sun abandons the sky.
Svalbard drifts beneath a vaulted night.
Darkness bleeds through permafrost,
Settling in the earth’s frozen marrow.
But beneath this ice-scarred...

TimeDead ye lie
dead ye rot --
human thy lot
Dead ye rest
dead ye soar --
spirit on a weightless
tour
as all sought
little man will find --
whether earth or sea
a puzzle of clouds,
highlighted edges
joining
stars above
our distance measures
Time, alone, decides
if lifeless waste~ or eternally
evolving heartfelt treasures...

Planet Neanderthal Island
I must report that the Professor of Anthropology was more interested in how extinct prehistoric man, more specifically, Neanderthals, lived and why they didn’t survive. They seem bigger with bigger brains from the fossilized records. To her, it just didn’t make sense. So, she bought an island in an undisclosed location (classified)...

StarlightStars burn bright
against the backdrop
of a velvet black sky,
pearls of light
coruscating through
a veil of darkness
like beacons
to distant worlds.
A celestial body’s radiance
becomes its fossil,
a luminous relic
preserved by the eternal
vastness of the cosmos,
forever whispering its secrets
across the canvass of time....

The king of my heart
In dreams, I saw you, dear friend so true,
A heart heavy with memories, tears anew.
You proposed with love in your eyes so bright,
But I denied, with doubts in the dark of night.
A sign in dreams whispered, "He's the one,"
But I rejected, my heart unsure, undone.
Life's full of wonders, twists and turns,
God's plans, a mystery that...

Oh, How We FellAncient howling came back to Earth
And before long more species followed
Some contested against this unnatural birth
But no one could deny it’s monetary worth
Then after a little - our world was swallowed
Even though we lacked a time machine
We ended back up in...

Our Planet, Our PowerBeneath the sky so vast and blue,
A world of wonder calls to you.
With mountains tall and oceans wide,
It’s ours to love, not just to bide.
The whispering trees, the rivers that run,
The golden fields beneath the sun,
All speak a truth we can’t ignore,
This planet’s life is at our core.
But storms now rage, and glaciers cry,
Smoke hides...

Everything and EveryoneI am a golden sunset after rain
A warm light emerging from pain
Sometimes blue, sometimes gray
Forever changing and experiencing the array
I am Venus and I am Mercury
The stars, the Earth, and the Sea
I am everything and everyone
Consciousness belongs to no one

Purple Dreams in Other RealmsOnce upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see
dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace,
she shone like the midnight sun;
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore!
Would you like to hear more about the fairy girl, whose name was Amethyst?
As...
