Meaningless squiggles and wiggles
Noted for decades 
Without collaborated meaning

Rosetta Stone discovered at last
The missing correlation
Brilliance of a Wise mind

Ancient abstract squiggles
Consolidated wiggles
Revealed under desert sand

Proof of ones or ones 
Who cared and dared shared
Translation key to the world...

The blood of the forest
           it's green ... consolidated
           hope remains!
           The blood of heaven
           it's blue ... peace reigns
           infinite trust ...
           The river runs clear
           its blood of life
            and remaking ...
          But, red is our
          blood ... perennial sign
           of our struggle ...!...

Non-repetitive face
on it thoughts consolidated,
dark blond hair on the head,
twisted in wisps.

Dark green eyes
delineated by many streaks –
there are worlds concealed
among luminous bands.

Thoughtful face
with wide forehead,
middle sized ears, nose –
sparse brows and eyelids.

Subtle lips,
sensitive body
of the man of conscience,
Covenant and the Ark.

A SOUTAR EKPHRASIS
In dialect and lyric William’s
poetry soon found fame.
Whims and fanciful notions
these  whigmaleerie were known.
Less popular yet, equally unique
verse in English, oh so terse. This
genre , American cinquain consolidated 
a reputation,once again.

Tribute to William Soutar 1898-1943

Listen to this ekphrasis recited on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro on youtube...

extravagant disgust
manifested by evil...outrageous
imbecile sacrilegious,
to torture the color,
to vilify nature,
to demonize the human...
With magnificent ramblas
but spirits so narrow, it
seems exponential, but
it's just spiritual retardation...
  the pomp of wickedness,
rips in greatness
which should already be consolidated
after so long to evolve...
What a shame ! so much involution!...

Other terrorists have overtaken,
invaded and captured,

have consolidated, merged

and dispersed.

It's a mess.


Splinter groups
have assailed the other's,
infiltrated, established pockets of
of doubt and confusion.


Conspiracy theorists
claim that we ourselves
are those other terrorists.


Other's counterattack
with long lists of demands
hoping to debunk and distract
from that kind of

terror talk....

for Anna Akhmatova

This is easy living
Waiting for the Muse to arrive
whispering sweet lullabies
into my plume

You may get a bout
of insomnia, or
wake up before sunrise, or
stay up into

the wee hours
of the night
But it's all part
of the scenario,

the mysterious existence
that transforms the mundane
into kaleidoscopic dreams,
magnificent realities

consolidated onto parchment
or logged into your laptop,
into the realm
of earthly concrete....

Related and Syncopated

There are things which are related
While also some which are syncopated
And right on time being in the grove
Creating an experience which will move.

Music and poetry are highly related
And can be considered as consolidated
Which will end up in complete unison
And then end up starting over again.

Eventually your mind always does grow
And you will end up being in the know;
So you should read my poems and digest
To determine which one is the best.
