Short Configuration Poems

Bedazzling sight
Geese command the cyan sky
My eyes starving among such plenty
So free are they in the air
Flying in a V-shaped configuration

DARKNESS

the

a dark
inaugural

glimped
 beyond black
conveyed
 galvanished
in
dynamic signs
of
modulated light
fractious
configuration
dense

uranus in aries
moon in aquarius
her hand s in mine
two large quincux
between celestial bodies
mercury and jupiter conjunct
in virgo yod configuration
we are waiting for our
karmic missions new
inner level of awareness
astounding layers of ignorance
we are blissful orphans...

My love of nature began
With an awe-struck scan
Of skies, how starry strings pan
Out to yon of yon,
Nights where reign and there’s no dawn.

A witty puppeteer of still creations
Wooden images of live emotions
Rubber, plastics, foam and paper
Strings, thread, metals and caper
A wonder boy of imagery
Son of inspiring father of vividry
Hands of a mathematician in action
Engineering of imagination in presentation
Emmy winner of citation
Man, full of life and nature's configuration...

In reply Jesus declared (to Nicodemus, the Pharisee, of the Jewish ruling council), “ I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.“                           John 3:3 NIV Bible

Red blush tempting me
Eyeliner awaking thought’s
Rouge creamy and soft
Configuration formation 
Mind with, determination
Body self forming
Legs with exciting warnings
Eyes deeply entrancing
Words luring with expectations
Ears listening and recording
Thought’s wandering aloof
Clasping together two hearts
Souls drifting into heaven
Alarms going off

Dream over lol...

Black plastic bag
discarded on the bridge
writhes like 
an injured animal.
      
A paragraph of
birds in the blue 
of the sky wing by
grammatically correct,
but open ended until
the commander in chief
changes its configuration
with punctuation.
      
A fleet of wild geese
flying their colors
barge in like 
small battleships 
in minor invasion.
The equation
some of us make
is: what price
Freedom?...

Love
Hate
What's the difference?
These emotions are just flaws in the 
human configuration 
Why feel with your heart
when you can feel with your lungs
and your broken brain
The yellow that I search for is blocked
by the black and blue that surrounds me
The closest I can get is 
the green that disappears when I 
try to create make-believe yellow

Soon.

Soon it will be all white

And it will be all over...

an ambiguous
                form
metaphors of  life

learning a face
       in a configuration
of
fragments

getting a likeness
a unity
   of a person
turned
     into a picture

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...

Born perhaps with a special gene configuration
Every situation needlessly prompts my rash reaction.

Poise, the stable state of the balanced mind
Always takes an untimely flight evading me
Triggered by the discord in my self-sustained psyche
I react prematurely when I should be silent
Engaged in invited rows I've learnt bitter lessons
Now I realize and resolve, enough is enough
Time for me to be patient.

If is
a huge band of information
if is
a computer simulation
if is
nations within nations
if is
prayer gratification
if is 
parallel worlds in a configuration
if is
across each dimension
what –if-is
a question that seeks attention
a sun’s annihilation
far out into space
if the race is in full swing 
if man keeps bickering
if man keeps poisoning 
if man keeps burning
if man keeps killing
his world brother 
and forget interstellar 
the cellar 
only lasts so long...

....so next time you see my name in print
Think of all the time I've spent
All the torn and crumpled sheets
Of witty prose incomplete
How I suffered with intrusions
That scattered thought into confusion
Seeing thoughts within my mind
To find out that my pen went blind
It's a long journey from brain to pen
And inbetween the words would spin
Into a different configuration
from intended. What consternation!
So next time you see my name in print
Remember how wrong it could have went...
