Conducted by the boulders:
Classical waters....

Divinely composed,
Conducted by the soft breeze:
Orchestra of grains....

she is the music
that my whole body sings
like an orchestra 
conducted by desire

the symphony of pleasure
in two majors

Friendship: 

An ecstatic symphony, 

Inspired by the soul,

Written by the mind

And

Conducted by the heart!

A Waterfall
A Tropical Rain 
A Hurricane
All a Symphony
Conducted by the Great Conductor
Tempo, Beat
Nature a Treat
To the ears
Nothing to fear
Perfect in all ways
Created in seven days
A Symphony...

The service conducted by the Reverend Bailey,
Irene Paula Lee married Jonathon Daley,
Now thee months since that day has passed,
Things going smoothly, nothing aghast,
Until a letter came addressed to, I. P. Daley...

Life can be a symphonic bonanza,
A philharmonic extravaganza,
A choral sunrise,
And an orchestrated surprise,
A conducted ecstasy,
An instrumental epiphany,
These are the peccadilloes of life,
The crescendo of my eternity....

Epigram 
Drone war is conducted by those 
unwilling to give up anything against 
those who are willing to sacrifice all
in order to get rid of alien intruders.
  

Senryu 
Drones strikes are 
Conducted by cowards
Who do not like 
The sight of blood...

When we go to moon
we have been in big balloon
like a looney toon

memory applied
when river would open wide
had been at high tide

conducted caper
to become conservator
of her curvature

of time when in expanse
ended up splitting my pants
planting perfect plant...

I feel my way
within this space
conducted safely
by the seasons

hand over hand 
along the fence
of my settled
course of days

securing myself
at the posts
of my reliable
cycle of hours

I slip off the trail
through the cracks
on the barrier-free
crossings of time...

An alien travelled from Venus
And said there should be peace between us
My wife in her thong
Said he’s got a big dong
And then she said o dear he’s seen us

Three years of 'police action,'
Conducted according to 
The doctrine of 'limited war,'
In order to pursue 
A policy of 'containment.' 
Police action?
Containment?
Limited war?
Guess that’s why 
I don’t feel like Patton 
Pissing in the Rhine.
War is all hell.
Don't sugar coat it....

Loss of the Semicolon

The semicolon is an odd mark;
The use of which can be quite stark;
It forces us to make a pause;
Before we start a new clause;
Now a study was conducted;
An English college deducted;
That the semicolon is in decline;
So I’d better stop using it in this poem of mine!!!

I never thought I'd see the day
  when Illinois' leaders held sway
Taking the lead in this deadly war
  against a virus Mr. Trump tried to ignore

Hats off to Governor J.B. Pritzker
  and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot
In tandem, they've conducted a blitzkrieg
  to get Illinois residents to stay put...

On Merit alone, I could swallow the World,
But lethargy, 'tis all I've conducted
My Rage itself, could darken the sky
(Feel me explode, like a volcano erupted!)

To my Failures, fretfully chained
(The effects of the drugs, they've activated)
Senses enhanced, perspectives changed,
And new Revelations to be contemplated......

A red bounds to halt
ears radar,
and the Nulla Nulla 
rolls to beats of thunder
and smash tribute, 
in a lightning
conducted heaven


An invite of ozone 
in the showered mist
heralds,
a first riff,
as black opal clouds,
open 
to concert


A drop hits,
the emptiness 
before the tempest,
consumed silence

A consortium for interplanetary exploration has conducted 
the first ever mining operation in Mars, using robotic
automation that unearthed many valuable minerals and 
uncommon elements from beneath the red regolith.
Scientists are not yet sure if for future Martian
colonization and mining activities they have to breed
an AI race.

the grass grows fast in heaven

and the weeds are never ending

the folks in wings and shears

are the ones who won't stop sinning



virtue has its merits the

rewards can be quite great

but there's something said for sin

conducted with a rake...

PETER HAPPY
               Peter happy
              glad he died ...
              He died happier
              than when he was born ...

                  CONDUCTOR
              The night he died
               the grand conductor,
               that gala night
               no one his orchestra, 
                conducted ...!...

She started at dawn
when dew was glistening,
and bubbles were dancing
to the tune of kerosene lamps.

"Love you a lot."
Words never said with honest hands.

This devilish lip-service
conducted
by defrocked priests.

I will not love myself
until,
I find you in a hole
I also can jump into.

We will huddle together
listening for the
hot breath of hunting wolves,

not knowing it is we,
we who breathe so coarsely,
so loud,
so lost and feral.

Sheba conducted her business like a queen
An owl who had kindness without any mean
We loved her look, her feathers were bright
Everything she said and did turned out right.

Sheba acted like she was not regal at all.
We tree people knew her ideas were never small.
Her empathy and resourcefulness were the bomb.
She will always be our queen, but without aplomb....

Once I knew a man

Said that he should lead the band

I thought that it was grand

He was willing to take a stand

He conducted the high notes well

Really made them swell

However the music …it was dissonant

As the bass was so un-content

It seems to reach the heights

That man had lost his sight

All notes must play a role

For the music to have a soul...
