Short Conspicuously Poems

PUDDLE DUCK

          i
ride the rain
            incessant,
   conspicuously 
        adolescent, stomps
                its feet
          in restless temper —
               puddle duck spawns

The wealth of a nation
its measures and indicators
manifests conspicuously
not among wealthy class 
not among the powerful
not in the banks, treasuries
but in rugged and dry hands
of the ordinary peasants
the ones who sleep hungry
The poor are poor, die poor
because somewhere one
is praised, loved, endeared
through riddles and lyrics...

1.
Invisible but not absent
Saunter along with you
Get wind of me
		Between the words
The train runs on two tracks
Everyone sees… 
But no one sees 
What in there moving along
Betwixt the lines

Discern while everything sinks in dark
Feel the presence conspicuously 

Endure the light.

2.
Your letter was a great story
But the closed envelope was the poem.

Old MacDonald had a farm
With some noisy critters on it.
They mostly mooed, or neighed,
Or clucked, or brayed,
But some stayed
Resolutely mute,
I'm afraid.
It wasn't his equines,
Or bovines,
Or fowls,
Or anything lodged in his barns or corrals,
But a couple of rather recalcitrant vowels.
The "e" and the "i" and the "o"
Answered the call,
While the "a" and the "u"
Stayed conspicuously AWOL.

My mortality is speaking
Breaking words over my bed
A cracked ceiling for comfort
Speckled reflections unsaid

My mortality is speaking
Undaunted and unknown
Days numbered for posterity 
Chiseled into nameless stone

My mortality is speaking
Conspicuously confined
Patiently plodding
Stalking a paralyzed mind

My mortality is speaking
Breaking silence with death
Blinking in affirmation
This is my last breath...

Creaking shadows, creeping over fettered floors
Shattered suspicion, silence cutting jagged scores
Preening portraits, conspicuously hung in full view
Callous hands, bleeding memories which do accrue

Adagio movements, nigh nocturnes of orchestrated harm
Prowling predators, facetious footsteps which do not alarm
Opulent treasures, gaily gleaming behind double doors
Pirated stars, surreptitiously swept off to foreign shores...

Garlands of soft fresh flowers,
what does a thick one conjure up for you,
a lot of fragrance and joy,
particularly when it is put around your neck,
by some one very conspicuously and clearly,
you are often celebrating a victory,arrival or glory,
and are aware of all that which is the main story,
only in one case you so helpless and bad,
that you do not even know who has garlanded you and when,
it is when you are lying in wreaths pretty dead....

Where is the world
 precious diamond
To be permeate
 Further and further
Every year
To enhance
 Intense Lights 
To decorate the crown
With conspicuously 
We all deliver 
Grand symphonic
In  special occasions
 To fill joys 
In Her kind
And  immune heart
Ever shine
Constantly
 to deploy love
 to her beloved
 cause 
happiness on own  Province
let Birds of Divine 
Spreads wings on your 
Own world and heavenly world..
