that cord to the grave ancients
should be free from man’s swords!
both oracle and priest held for days …

Calm

First
calm erratic

suspend
and catch
exciting past
then bury it
with the ancients 
the danger
is now
last.

Flowers,

sky.  trees
in time, ancient.
ones with the sea,
from a far.
light travels,
faster than sound.
expanding into another galaxy.
flowers remain with the ancients.

I Love Old Niger Songs

sing me her songs
her songs amongst the old rocks & mounts
her ancients songs
amid those pages & their kings
when mansa musa was the prince
& sundiata was in preeminence

Premium Member Amazing Ancients

Are we really disputing beliefs of the past Evolution makes us think we have surpassed Basic skills back then We surely do transcend But their abilities were amazing and really vast
Form: Limerick

Cosmos

Feel the sky quake, and gaze upon this cosmic Fall;
Let the Ancients guide you through the glory of all.
The Creatures stir, awoken from their timeless sleep;
Stand now, and become lost in the Deep.

Premium Member Animalistic

Facial parts, a trophy of war to be feared “Mimizuka” are mounds of noses and ears, how weird Those guys were sadistic Maybe a bit animalistic What drove these ancients to be so hedonistic
Form: Limerick

With Onions

pork chop sandwich with onions,
and the smell of daddies leather coat,
I'm not much for crying.
Brought to our knees
by our ability to live,
struggle and pain cover the pillars
of the ancients
with
our
blood.

All For One

tre three penny das ta do
 juniper juniper the opened mass
 turn over your yarn
 to the tormentors
 stir the pot
 breach of peace

 the ancients taught
 a silo bent through an accord
 the time has come
 all for one

Premium Member Samsaras

Basking in emptiness
reality takes a back seat
dream flight discarnates
dependent origination
karmic kisses enclosed



(Title--term used by ancients to describe
negative karmic patterns passing from body
to body, plaguing one's earthly psyche.)

Premium Member Telling the Bees

Telling the bees my secrets
just as the ancients told theirs.

The only reason is another star, 
or the dying of our beauty.

Ignorance is the definer 
of your bliss.

Stay where you are, not willing to come in;
not willing to sieze the sun or the moon.

Premium Member Head Up

I wonder how bright the stars were When there was no electricity to drown them out When the ancients roamed the earth At a time, of building with stones Did they look up as much as we look down at our phones? Kale Brereton July 14th/18

A Haiku Dedicated To Jan Allison and the Amazing Moorland Bird, the Ptarmigan

Our Dippy Technology

Once deactivated,
       after forgotten,
        played were the
        ancients toys...
       after finished
        all jokes
        and merriment... what do we have!?
        We are "STATUES"
        from Internet...
         dippy, daffy
          of technology... !

Untitled #2 / the Ancients Say

The ancients say:
“Beautiful, the evening clouds
Endless, the distant hills, blue upon blue, peak upon peak!”
But after the splendor of the sunset
shadow creeps in upon the land, cold, dark, heartless
and though one needs but wait until sunrise
for the dead, that is an awful long time.

The Glory of Ancients

the birth of an infant
the ancient kingdom celebrates
gentle gift of life

man moved ahead
kingdom no more survived
families break up

new nuclear family
birth and death forever here
just seem to pass by

when death knocks on the door
realisation slides in
of the glory of ancients
Form: Haiku

Premium Member On Ownership

The earth belongs to the One who created it* We are only stewards of the area we possess, Known to the ancients, this fact is no secret No one owns anything forever is my guess, So, enjoy it while you can is as good as it gets. (*Psalm 24:1)

Premium Member Magic Moon

We stand beneath an unfamiliar moon Where nature's magic weaves a crimson loom To contradict what ancients understood The world survives and has not met its doom

Premium Member Spiralling Motions

Neolithic stones
Majestic motions upward
Bathed in fairy prances
Ancients questioned the meaning
Of the skies above,
Many assuming they knew the truth
Pertaining to solar systems and solstices,
Those humans were created,
Along a perilous journey
That led them to Paradise
In ancient spiralling motions

Premium Member Banana

Yellow skin
White soul
Slant eyes tell
Be proud my young Korean friend
In your veins runs the blood
Of ancients
In your heart has bled the blood
Of deep human sorrow
In your eyes
They see
The promise of a great future

Yellow skin
Yellow soul
Golden heart
Korea exist within you

          Smile
