astronomical....

But you cannot follow me

A merry display of earth’s socks from space.
They’re head over heels — a holiday ace.
Their Santa hats rock
with floating pom flocks.
These weightless bioches from space.

Two Empire State Buildings fly by Earth
Phobos will crash into Earth on Mars Day
Careless Martians created our universe in Pluto's lab
Pluto walks a tightrope over underestimated solar flares...

In time good will return, 
Predicted and rhythmical, 
So that you will go up, 
And be arithmetical,  
To prove there’s free rides,
Some astronomical, 
And that they’re for players, 
Who are relational....

religion is the greatest marketer

of the industrial defense engine;

all believers are enemies of each other

and that makes for a great god of death

and astronomical gains in revenue

There's never been two snowflakes alike
Whoever came up with this one can go fly a kite
Of the trillions since
Saw at least a couple of twins
With these astronomical odds, a few might see the light...

ASTRONOMICAL

tempo of the ocean
drama of the season
planet acrobatics
catapulting
streamlining
generating
speed

how…

extravagant
our drunken heart
needs
seem

Wonder how many bananas I've eaten in my lifetime
Must be astronomical, well probably a few more than nine
Talk about prolific
Don't know their gimmick
But keep chomping away preventing further world decline...

one night
when I could drive
on my way home
from work the 
sight of the moon
scared me
it was so big
bright orange
I thought an
astronomical
spiritual event 
was about to 
happen
I had to pull
the car over
and 
just look...

Number of my poems is becoming astronomical
Of my many poems either serious and/or comical
And every time that I start to pretend
Seems like I always end up at a dead end.

Will continue later. Wife wants me to make her some coughfy
I mean coffee....

By the time you see me,
I'll be a long since past;
By the time you read me,
Your fortune will be cast.
While I brighten your night
With my twinkling light,
Know that your very existence...
Is but a miracle of might.

Through
blood stained aeons
religions
tiding astronomical
assuring
the birth of the sun

Shines

seasonally depressed

Glowing

It sure is nice
to celebrate
with everyone

VOLLEY WORLDS LIKE TABLE TENNIS 

Table tennis
Isn’t the menace
Didn’t you mention?
Hearts full of toil
Bleeding tendencies of old
Rancid particles
Already hidden astronomical
What is my purpose?
How can I imagine
When I got my mindful
Wonders beyond fathom
Come let’s embrace the world
Volley the ball?

A question that has baffled man since day one

Are there other beings similar to ours out there

In all likelihood without a doubt I say yes

The odds are astronomical to be otherwise

We only need view the map of the heavens

To lead us to this logical conclusion

Odds must surely be (astronomical x infinite)

To resemble us is a matter of conjecture...

Astronomical....cosmological
reference possible context biblical

Draco,the serpent,biteth Mizar
companion rider,Alcor,to fall mar

Falling backwards into abyss
harsh judgement passed to those remiss
              ~~~~~~~~~
......Draco,the serpent along the way.....milky way
......mizar and alcor....the horse and rider,
      pulling chariot.....the big dipper

Is a hemispherical
Dome. When you go in there is star light
To guide everyone to a seat.
It is so neat.
The most magical
Show begins to take flight
As we are staring
At the ceiling
Where technology shows us celestial
Bodies with music and lights.
It takes us on an astronomical
Pheomena adventure that is historical,
Inspirational,
Shows the existence,
And consistence
Of the universe
Where God has always existed....

I thought my poem sedulous,
instead it turned out nebulous,
all who read, incredulous,
merit at best tenuous.

Its origin endogenous,
meter, rhyme preposterous,
spurious, anomalous,
muse morosely arduous.

Striving for poetical,
its words turned out pathetical,
useless and nonsensical,
amusement for the skeptical.

Might someone who’s methodical,
and skilled lexicographical,
allay its monotonical?
Odds against are astronomical....

Gleaming galaxies twinkle,

Radiant stars cluster in cosmic maze,

Astronomical wonders, oh how grand,

Nebulas dancing, in resplendent grace,

Delighting the sky with their dazzling form.

 

Glowing gardens of emerald and pristine

Roaming streams, so tranquil and serene,

Awakening meadows, where budding wildflowers bloom,

Nature’s fruits, a fragrant perfume,

Dappled sunlight upon the fertile land dreams.

This astronomical event
Molted out of summer sunbeams
Causes an herbaceous retreat
Personified as sleepiness

More darkness less lightness describes
This astronomical event
More coldness less heatness results
From shorter indirect sunbeams

Tilting revolving rotating
Earth goes around again until
This astronomical event
Reassuringly reoccurs

Earthly inhabitants rejoice
Variously and celebrate
The season attributed to 
This astronomical event...

Husband pens his love
After one year of marriage
Proud to be your spouse
Partner in deepest spirit
Yesterday and tomorrow

Blessings of a happy home
Irresponsible poet 
Responsible Nona May
Turned it all around
Horizons unbound
Dancing through the galaxy
Astronomical glitter
Yearning to be creative

Never giving up on you
On this very special day
Notions of passionate love
Anon and henceforth

Merrily we sing
Astral connectivity
You and me both bless'd...
