Help Everyman

Advertise to sell
Every best side of it
Sometimes misleading attractions 
And truths concealed 
Varieties offered
Taste selective
And the choice is yours...

Holiday is ringed gay with lights.
Niose-shook, for a marquee
Of lawn-pitched attractions.
No dull railing girts it. A place
In time joy-bounced, by whim's
Un-school-like persuasions....

I have yet to write a poem about a toothbrush
   or toothpaste or cremation or zinc

One thing I am sure of, however, and that is
   if I do, I shall have merely wasted a little more ink...

Sky dragons,
Mighty attractions,
Builders build,
Workers bleed
Diving floors,
Infinity pools
Imitating paradise?
Posh suites,
Modesty retreats 
Trying to touch the clouds,
Are you immortal kings ?...

MISTY REFLECTIONS

past reflecting
misty moments
hazy hues
diverse dimensions
of
abstract attractions
dark caves
of
the mind

like still
cool waters
better left
behind

There are too many idiots 
who don’t like to hear 
the facts or opposite opinions,
and they often produce,
especially in the meetings, 
or in their own unions,
the strange sound ‘boo’,
They must be thinking of 
being popular attractions in a zoo...

A smile and a kind word go a long way
for opening doors and opportunities 
to worlds we might love to discover.

With age, it becomes increasingly 
apparent that these soul connections 
are the attractions that we crave.

muffled thoughts
subdued actions
tortured minds
lead to deadly distractions
trouble brewing
deep in my soul
making my way to heaven
but
holding on to hell
a cross roads 
only time will tell
quiet hallways
closed doors
fabled actions
fatal attractions...

Like a faint glimmer of light, 
reflecting off a falling drop of dew
A fragile sentiment of attraction 
take your mind for a ride new

A clear bliss of sheer emotions
Bring your sorrows to a premature halt
But life is profound and attractions shallow 
Reset to misery default...

our bodies wear out time and again,
but we return to the earthly plane,
our lover friends return they do,,
we meet again fore life is through,
on this you can depend,
magnetic attractions too,
and pre-written is the when......

Gratitude is attitude
Being humble
Gives mind space
Set to soar high.

Character is barter
Being good
Articulate well
Boost sales high.

Colors is attractions
Good ads
Sparkles the eyes
Add more dimes.

Raw is simplicity
Pure heart
Arouse good intention
Truth dare not hide....

Appreciate some time out for annual holidays.
Unify with friends, or bask in warm sun rays.
Go and visit attractions, or a far flung beach.
Unfamiliar places you must travel to reach.
Summer days shorten, soon it will be fall.
The most colorful season of them all!...

Gentle wind kindled fire
stillness voice to admire
flute that rises the fear
pointing direction clear
inconceivable time
attractions in potion divine
loosing oneself in vision
ecstasies by decision
continuance uncertainties
life’s forever little legacies
faith that firms through trials
grace and its invisible smiles...

Fireworks now -- oohs, aahs, wows
  Back then, musket shots in glens

Parades now -- amusing attractions
  Back then, soldiers in traction

Population now -- hundreds of millions
  Population then, 2,500 -- a dozen cotillions

Documents then -- Declaration of Independence
  Documents now -- Trillion-dollar Amendments...

Where is the need for a crystal ball
to learn about your future at all?
Use your imagination
by way of divination...
Wolla, preview your life's wherewithal!


Albert Einstein's quote:"Imagination is everything. 
It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

For John Freeman "Famous Einstein quotes" contest....

I have a the right to choose my perception
The choice to feed into the illusion
I have the right to accept
The choice to neglect 
A chance to forget
I feel the need for change
A little time for me to rearrange
I only need a chance to bleed
Something for me to always need
Otherwise these attractions
Become only distractions...

In everyone's life there's one special moment

A moment that will live on forever never to be forgotten

My special moment occurred when I was fifty

This amazing lady came into my life

She will be remembered if I live till the end of time

It was one of those “once in a lifetime” attractions

Never to be experienced again...

the prodigal

the father 
veils himself and
issues forth as
a prodigal seeking
peace and love
in a foreign place..

she suffers..not
finding after searching
with exuberance
among colorful attractions
of places and things..

in exhaustion she 
cries for help..and
grace is recognized
with joy as she
remembers:
I and my father
are one......

Tides wash over painted toes.
Rum rains down;Reptiles sun.
Ocean waves; Oracles with desired lies.
Palm treed Paradise with insects.
Islands with beautiful barefooted influences
Careless days and nights; secret caves and coves.
Abundant atmosphere; fruited alcohol attractions.
Lovers under the lagoon's night sky.
