Premium Member Work In Progress

I am a work in progress. 
Much like the highway department,
working on road construction, 
it's going to take much longer than expected 
and go way over budget,

Construction

The cement
is the letter,
The foundation
is the word
the brick
is the verse,
the poem
it's the wall
the poetry
It's the house built...
 Home sweet home !


Premium Member Construction Worker Fred

Construction worker Fred, never snotty
Boastful, self-righteous, or slightly haughty
   They laid him to rest
   Midst tribute the best
Gold-plated, silver-edged Porta-Potty

Premium Member The Open Road

  Hittin’ the ‘open road’ was all the fashion
    Became America’s passion

  Decimated by endless repairs – 'under construction'
    not to mention protestors’ abduction

Under Construction

My mind, body and spirit are under construction right now. The only people allowed to trespass is myself, me, and I, the worker of self. Only I am qualified to get this job done.

Crosstextag

I have nothing to say but I wake up
in a construction of the worlds
in a humid chamber
where everything comes and everything goes
you and me - she to she
and others
and the Void

The Way

Trial and error forms proper instruction,
and in all forms have their induction.
In the process of creation there is so much distruction
and so much waste in improvement construction.

Earth - Depression - Sapphic Stanza

Trenches failing, sagging and crumpling, falling
Dad jumps down in, holding a sheet of plywood
Quick lads scramble out of a filling tombhole…
Who will save Dad, now?

Reluctant Reproach

Adversaries are none
When trepidation emerges
Rhetoric voices undone
Temper surges

Contrive modes of destruction
Follows continuous bashing
Unequivocal construction
Without talk trashing

A Chair Is Not a Chair

a chair is not a chair
until its sat on by human
sit on log and it’s a chair
sit on a pig and it's a chair
sitting of a log, pig, dog 
makes none a chair at all
everything is a construction

Premium Member Construction and Destruction

Construction and 

Destruction..

No separation 

No between..

It's not knowing

What seems as

Knowing of the

Arising and disappearing

In sequence with elation 

And despair...

Sagrada Familia Barcelona, Spain

Sagrada Familia in Barcelona,Catalonia, Spain
began construction in 1882 AD but strain
of wars and life was an energy drain
Still under construction
City's holy structure will gain 
people's approbation

Easier and Difficult

Death is easier.
Difficult is birth.

Destruction is easier.
Difficult is construction.

Thorn is easier.
Difficult is flower.

Hatred is easier.
Difficult is love.

War is easier.
Difficult is civilization.

All You Hear About Is Obstruction

All You Hear About Is Obstruction

What they created was much construction,
With each object ending up in obstruction;
Heard some say,
Getting in way,
Of justice disposed of in  final destruction.

Premium Member taking a break

taking a well deserved break in the forties
on a high construction beam above New York
where the twenty-seventh floor will someday be
we did not dare annoy the guys next to us
none of us wearing safety harnesses

I Cry When I Laugh

I cry when I laugh
Do the dimples on my cheeks
tell a different tale?

When I laugh I cry
the construction of the mind
wears not on the face

The voice in my head
serrate deeper than scars. So
I cry when I laugh.

The Construction

My heart 
is my alphabet,
beating the letters out
through the pores of my skin.

I gather them
in my hands.

I mold the words.

And they pour down on the sheets,
like eager autumn rain.

Tonya's Tome

Her soul -- a panorama behind the pages -- offers casual glimpses, through word-peepholes, of edifice-in-construction. Based on individual choice, each passer-by may find a view totally unique.

Constrained

Constrained-
By the construction of our youth;  

Making the same mistakes, in order to 
discover the truth.  

And we fight till the death of us,  
In and out of lust -
We thrust,
For our subconscious knows we must.
