as flesh and blood he walked this earth
the same as all a mothers birth
the world changed when it was finished
his love for all not diminished
I pray dear God am I of worth...

I’m not connected
Neither am I happy
And so
Words are like forgotten junk
Like happy
Like connected
Like ice scuffed
Unforgiving cold beneath
Heavens above

Breathing

Shiny black patten leather shoes,
A new baby's eyes,
Dark moving clouds,
Storm theatening skies...
Sometimes my daddy's mood,
Sometime my attitude,
Hey!
That's not black,
It's the blues!...

There was an old lady who said:
I’ve only a hair left on my head.
That might other women appall;
not me, I’m technically not bald.
And though it’s a fair assessment,
it’s only true by a hair.

NO HIDING PLACE

I know
Just everything
At least what’s important
Yet that’s my assessment, not yours
Should you deny or try to vacillate
I will ensure it all comes out
Across all media
Embarrassing
I know...

Autumn at an Automat
     
Austere aloofness.
Assessment approbation.
Allays apathy.

Inspired by Brian Strand’s Imagine Contest

An Assessment of Black or Am I Color Blind

Shinny black patten leather shoes, 
A new baby's eyes, 
Dark moving clouds, 
Storm theatening skies...
Sometimes my daddy's mood...
Sometimes my attitude...
Hey that's not black, 
It's the blues!

Teachers feel heat.
Standardized tests
So Boring
Breaks

Teachers feel heat
Principal evaluation
So Scary
Run

Teachers feel heat
Out of Control student
So Exhausting
Recruit

Teachers get told
Their job is easy
Nothing to do all summer
Try it....

splitting halves
battle unsolved
no compromises
no justifications
the price of beginnings
an endless sought
in the irresolution 
I am caught
flawless in the contraries
the tearing poles of 
my conscience
Assessment is evaluation,
Sometimes, repudiation.....

America we are 
My assessment, ditto
I think I know
Promises to keep, is the echo
Is quite happy though
Its America 
Full of joy 
Like a vivid rainbow
Sweet dreams come
To make our nation fulsome
Prosper widespread
Ready for America freedom
Great day ahead...

A professional mind
In a role of calm duty
A position of expert
In assessment of risk

At home much less structure 
Mayhem abounding
The colours are vibrant
In calming the mind

The memories of childhood 
Arranged on display
To share the enjoyment
Of a time full of love...

"CURRENT ASSESSMENT"


ingredients for my
disobedience:
paint the blue balls a
different color.
moral subjectivity is
subjective.
divested through tears
of tantrum.

a man does not become 
perfection without
trials.

Start by memorizing
Two English words everyday
Know its meaning
Know its part of speech
Know its usage
At the end of the week
Make an assessment in memorizing them all
If not all, at least you have ten words remain
In one year, at least you have one sack of English
There stored in your nut shell....

The world is full of ding-a-lings, are you sure you're not one
A self assessment will tell you, do you sometimes come undone
Do you get that uncontrollable urge
A feeling to strip naked emerge
If you think you're a prime candidate, better see a shrink on the run

just how aware people are is not the question
the fact is for the most part they sleep

dreaming forceful feeling lives
with a body-mind image

that's a reflection assessment system
just a mass-energy field tool

allowing world manipulation
via sensory readings

by the unchanged cloaked
inner self

I love action,with few words
by example,my  guidance heard
a barnabas,I unfold
encouragement,to be bold;
strong-minded,solid,some say,
maybe somewhat dull and grey!
reliability ,my creed
satisfy first,my family need;
Each day,stepping outside the box
what you see,you see,is only little me

The examination of one's soul
Is that what this is about?
Introspection
Looking in, getting what's in, out

Tortured, confused messes
Tangles, conflicting themes
Self Assessment
Clearly, about that, I can write reams

So, it's all out on the table
On the screen, on the pages
Am I better?
Not yet, still working through the stages...

After a period of self-assessment,
I’m trying to be a better person.

I want to be more patient, not just ferociously busy.
I want to practice gratefulness, be less snarky
and relentlessly sarcastic.

And even though I keep it pushing, by trying
to put these changes into action, out in the world,
the project is way behind schedule and over-budget
- I may have to make cuts....

Being persistent
By Miracle Man
October 12, 2020

Some choose to think I’m a pertinacious man,
others think I’m a prisoner of rigid thinking.
If you wish to describe me as “hard headed” you can,
I’ll accept your assessment and remain unblinking.


Let God be your refuge and strength each day,
let Him light your path, and His word become your way.

“Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.”
Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Waiting for the dentist’s assessment of my implant screw. 
I watch Dogwood buds on dry branches rattle on the window pane.
Why did Shakespeare’s quote pop into my head right then?
while wondering if the bone graft grew,

‘every fair from fair sometime declines.’
