Short Backgrounds Poems

until day when children from all social classes
colors
creeds
and backgrounds
walk hand in hand
and justice sings
throughout all lands
we’ll know humanity has won

until that day
hearts bleed
bodies suffer
and humanity’s song

remains unsung....

you have nothing in common
we knew it, but we married anyway
you will not last
it has been over fifty-one years, so maybe they were wrong

you have different religions.
we know.
your backgrounds are totally opposite.
maybe that is why we work....

Mountains climb up overlooking at nature in
                  bloom in fullness and its abundance majestic yet
                  breathtaking. The mountain's scenic view parallel to the 
                  countryside's, backgrounds relaxing and adventuresome....

Working on ten canvases today 
Black eyes, green eyes, brown eyes, yellow eyes too
Hot pink, fluorescent orange, silver so gay.
Backgrounds of almost every kind of hue.
Azure husky, not just regular gray.
Next painting is calling out tome too.
You know for sure it will be art my way....

My heritage is a mixture
Of backgrounds.  Let's start on 
My Dad's side of the family.

My Dad's mom is Irish and English.

My Dad's dad is Irish and German.

My Mom's mom is Scottish and Irish.

My Mom's dad is blood Hungarian.

So in other words,
I'm a mutt!  or as others say,
"Heinz 57!"...

I predict heartbreak
I predict this is how it will all end
Harvest
Emptying the lands
Raping the grounds

I promise Pinot Noir
What is this I'm speaking of
Emptying the land
Pillaging backgrounds
 Harvest
Fleece cultivates my soul

Pigtail girl was so adamant and indignant
That I had to draw her more than once.
I believe I have drawn and painted six versions of her.

She has landed in canvases all over my home
in different colors, a variety of backgrounds.
I have loved each version of Pigtail Girl.
Congratulating her on her exuberance and fun....

Re-Marking June

A Pride fellow with the hockey staff,
Who is jeered by some that made them laugh,
Was to count the whole team's men,
Ere the P.A., (ne'er again),
Said, "Our team's men totals about half."

“Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam …” —Dr Brewster M Higley VI


Oh, give me a home ...
where the big bison bellow,
bellowing in beautiful
bucolic backgrounds,
backgrounds begging
backpackers beware,
beware of being beset by
big bison bellowing!

Beset by a bison?
Bison basics best behavior—
Better to back up bovine-like
than be busted up by a bison

Better believe it!...

The years have not always treated us well 
We have taken a pounding from Anti Semites 
And enemies of various backgrounds
But I feel a sense of peace as Shabbat approaches 
Never used to go 
Always went out on Friday night 
But the singing and the music drew me back 
Now I get up and dance at services 
Pretty damn joyous!
I'm no Einstein
But I am smart enough to know 
That Israel must live!...

Some people speak and do not know the situation they are speaking about
Giving an opinion with their own words that sear the heart like a sharp knife
Forcing someone to pick and choose who is safe to talk to, who it is to know,
Wondering who can be trusted in this world where everyone has different backgrounds?
Everyone with something to say, but some don’t know the truth before they speak

Colour me,yellow,white,black, or red,dont
discriminate me,
For my blood is same like yours!
Just do enough to stamp out,
racism,intolerance and xenophobia.
Respect all nationalities,religious backgrounds,
sexual orientation and ethnic origins.
None of us chose their skin colour,
we found skin colours on us.
They were given to us by the Almighty,
why judging me because of my skin colour;
No one is good or bad on the basis of skin colour.

The Brevette, created by Emily Romano consists of a subject (noun), verb, and object (noun), in this exact order. The verb should show an ongoing action. This is done by spacing out the letters in the verb. There are only three words in the poem. 

For this contest all 3 words must start with the same letter.

Flowers blossom into a world they don’t know
They bring color to the wild and beauty to our homes
Melodies play and overcome the silence of sorrow
They bring sweetness to words and memory to songs
Fragrances adorn the air with invisibility that glows
They lighten our breathe, with every air we draw 
Bridges shortening distances to people we don’t know 
They yield acceptance of the backgrounds we come from
Love is like flowers, melodies, fragrances and bridges...

In a museum I no longer care
To read what they write on the wall.
I look at the art, check the names and the dates
And don’t need much more info at all.

I don’t want to listen to audio guides
Explaining the backgrounds of works.
Just having the time for some gallery strolls
Is the best of retirement’s perks.

As I’ve gotten older, my patience is thin
So historical facts make me bored,
But the chance to see paintings and sculpture to me
Is enough of a lovely reward....

Hatred comes in many a grade.
Divergent backgrounds will leave some swayed.
Aggressors will rarely share the facts.
They hide and trawl and wait to attack.
Kindness is not found in their hearts.
Antipathy and malice tears them apart.
They look around for power to gain.
Depraved contending is now their game.
Rogues will come and rogues will go.
Sadistic victimizing is now their goal.
Awfully imply they test our decrees.
These fainthearted consignments are never pleased....

Shifting Shadows sculpt ebony edges
Inscribing boundaries of light and dark.
Light contrasts with fragmented flowing forms,
Highlighting converging differences.
Out of chaos structure seemingly takes form,
Utilizing rays of a setting sun.
Etched upon the fringes of night and day,
Trees merge with backgrounds of liquid black as
Time pauses, almost standing still, while dusk
Erases Twilight's sullied silhouette....
