Thanksgiving Political Verse Poems

Shared enthusiastic curiosity
between two or more

May also become felt 
as mutually assured
active hope
we might make it through dinner
without seeking reparations
while digging our way
through emotionally deserted
dessert

Curiously...

REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE

Spiralled rainbows ! 
burnished tapestries of trials
Birth, love, death ripen 
Winds of Change for our country’s call
Battles in a corner buried, we...

ThanksGiving advances

Arising thoughts about boundary breaching risks
and perennial partisan issues
and deep listening opportunities.

Perhaps only the Othering
and Othered One Percent
instilling in their children
and future grandchildren
that extended...

Back in the day
of exclusively straight white male
****-retentive missionaries,
the Church

Whether monoculturally Catholic
(which may become an oxymoron
one enlightened day)
or Protestant,

But certainly not polytheistically ecstatic,
like a perfect...

NonViolently listening
contentedly
conveniently
is not too much

Communing
courageously win/win
curiously co-invested
in contagiously copassionate
communication events

Writing
and discussing
reflecting
and sharing
conversing
and dancing
while singing
and nonverbally musing
moving outside
as inside
Golden Rules
of and for revolutionary
peace actions,
cooperative intentions

And reactions
while...

My non-communication
and dissonant
dysfunctional miscommunication,
and occasionally aggressive
challenging win/lose dogmatic
refusal to bother with communication,

These all degeneratively punish
and unpleasantly neglect
open systemic civility

trauma-avoiding behaviors

Toxic...

I hope to visit next Sunday
on a warm 
sunny
early PeaceGiving afternoon

Outside with my wounded Daughter's

Inside her new

Spirits of unnatural forgiveness
for past bullying  behavior
and sacred redemption
from internalized shaming,
self-blaming

Begin in our shared multiculturing
co-empathic nature
uncomfortable with win/lose historic
and contemporary choices,
ecopolitical system analyzed
and deep...

The soul is right
The soul is good
It gets no credit
Perhaps it should

Deserves respect
Demands acclaim
We give it up
In someone’s name

Maybe a god
Maybe a king
A pleasant voice

Americans are a mixture of flavors:
Salty, spicy, sweet.
Whatever you like,
your taste we meet.

Descendants of countries
far and wide.
Wherever they once lived
they came here to hide.

Hiding from...

Holistic position
simultaneously invites further co-passion
and celebrates having become ever more compassionate,

Inspired that Earth stewards hope to rightly balance
human relationships
with our wider ecological responsibilities.

These right relationships

After required Thanksgiving Day
and depressing night
I awoke surprised
by release into ego-homelessness.

What could sad night despairs mean?
Reiterating loss of grateful identity
mysteriously disappearing through this habitat's coldly...

History,
one of the Muses,
like Music,
and Poetry,
and Liturgical FireCircle Dance,
and Regenerative Design,
offers three types of fertility/bereavement stories:

Yangy War stories,
Yinnish Peace stories,
And everything in-between life and death,

Hybrids...

Degenerate monopolies
without room or time for color's nuance
cooperative slow truth and beauty harmonies
outlasting endless distressed...
