Premium Member Beautiful Earth

Earth, 
Planet
Of carbon
Life forms; spins fast,
Three sixty five days
And half, a year.
Freely spins;
Happy 
Ball.

Today some orphans get soppy
And shed a tear on a poppy
Though they never met
Their dad was a vet
And there was no carbon copy

Premium Member Footprints In the Sun

Global warming caused my cancer;
    Here I thought my lack of shirts.
Carbon footprint’s karmic answer:
    Carcinoma, just desserts.

Cariad's Spoon

Gnarled hands stained by carbon seams
Harsh life etched into burning eyes
Yet tenderness turned wood
In delicate designs declaring devotion.

Premium Member Formless Poetry

Somewhere
In a cave
She sits
Carbon stained fingers
Drawing
A poem
Disproportioned figures
Dancing
As a moon
Rises
Over arched
Stones

Increased carbon dioxide emissions
  Fuel catastrophic climate premonitions

Though reductions based on volition
  Are toasted with suspicion

The Rust of Values

The Rust of Values

Carbon breaths
Ink less goose feathers
Blunt boys knives
Dry kisses of Girls
In ending corners
Left only with 
The rust of values .

It's Set Up This Way

Carbon is life to a tree.
Without carbon, there would be no tree.
God set it up this way, you see
and, the tree depends on you and me !

The Carbon Sword

Behold me as I wield the carbon sword,
cleaving reality as if a fraying cord.
In noble valor I make my timeless stand,
against the demons spawned by my own hand.

Shining Vicious Carbon

The light splash was blue and white
liquid reflection of crystal was The delight
The diamond was breaking its bond 
flawless was The clarity and
colorless was The beauty

A Diamond

You only notice the sparkle--
The way she became shinier. 
Have you ever wondered
How she was able to shimmer?
This precious gem
Was once a black carbon
Turned into a worthy emblem.

Lighting Latimer





            Amid great darkness 
            A beautiful light appeared
            Carbon filaments 
            Incandescently lighting 
            Moving man out of darkness

Beaten copper is wire
Love bitten man, lover
Compressed, cut n’ beaten man is husband

No Flying No Meat

Frequent flying will leave the Earth dead. Driving cars means disaster ahead. And we must give up meat or our maker we’ll meet. So it’s settled: we're staying in bed.

Embers of a Black Heart - Five Lines

I set alight a fire burning bright
It was a blaze of hope, of faith
Having no tinder, I thought I might
Burn my heart; and smoke billowed, wraith.
I whittled at the carbon fuel, chipping as its lathe.

Fresh Air

the tree breaths in - carbon dioxide from mans creativity
man breaths in fresh air - from the trees God created - giving mankind life

Life Liars

There are people who are 
       accustomed to lie so vitally
       as the air they breathe ...
       They can't stand truth ...
       That for them is the same as
       if it were carbon dioxide ...!

The little white house

The little white house
one hollow, pale May
gapes wide dark bowels
devours a prized race.
Screams in the black
tunes and sweet song.
Hair to power looms
Last waltz of souls
in carbon streaked flames.

We R Elements of Carbon

circular bands of pathetic
misfortunes broken 
by the empowering
stretch of mighty
hands
clandestine candles of hope
reverse into an open
nest of trust
we are elements of carbon
hydrogen and sulphur...

Premium Member Obituary

Dusk to dawn and dawn to dusk
Turns carbon chassis into withered husk

Faded breaths fade from memory
Must this be our destiny?

Time may yet erode the flesh and bone
But lifeless words lives on in slabs of stone
