Not All Words Bring Meaning

Not all words bring meaning
Some swill like seaweed and debris
Tangling and getting caught
Then drifting like a fisherman's rusty line

OLD ROCK

Ripped souvenirs tucked like debris
Old rock preserves them through history.

Debris

and it all runs off
like a desert wash
after the monsoon rain
debris left in dry arroyos
hazard signs to remind
remnants of the storm

Some Day

some day I will disappear like a rock under the sea lost, beneath all that debris will you think of me ?

Drunk Redneck Bull

the dust around him
he has not seen many things
the drunk redneck bull

his irony legs
both got a lick of work done--
cocoon of debris

Intertwined~~

Intertwined, like natures tree
Lighting strikes, there is debris
Years go by, we heal and grow stronger
Our roots run deep, in life defined

For the Short Attention Span

Quick over there!
Before it’s gone!
A rhyme to share,
fair to look on.

But, oh! Shiny!
Glittering flash!
Some bright debris!
Pretty for trash.

Sin and Debris

Sin and Debris

When will God with us agree,
Once free from sin and debris;
Other bad things,
Sadness brings,
Am glad He removed from me.

Listen to poem:
Each dawn's debris sort of wreckage from day before yields jetsam just junked and flotsam break-up relics. On the beach who can tell which?

The Landfill

ever drifting,ever shifting
sifting through the mountainous debris
it often seems they never rest
like snow upon the crown of Everest
are the gulls of turnkey.
Form:

Tectonic Dancer

She's shifting the bedrock
She's dancing tectonic
And now I am drowning
In the deluge
Struggling to get to the surface
Fighting through the debris of my heart.

Wasteful Wind

Whistling wind
wrestling with withered leaves
on the cocoa farm
Lifting debris does not pay
I plead thee
go to our leaders' hearts
blow down their stony ramparts

Premium Member Black Holes, Monoliths, and Other Space Debris

Could you be serious for one minute? She asked. Like the Dog Star? I quipped. Radiant I glowed, and in the moment, basked; Inexplicably, the next, I tripped.

Leaves In Tanka

Leaves float in the wind
Averse to sitting in trees
Falls on big debris
My dream for palm stays empty
Miss your cup of orange tea

Tears That Drown the Heart

Tears that drown the heart are like a blue sea,
With waves of pain crashing onto the soul;
Flowing with an anguish beyond control,
With lonely eyes underneath the debris.

Scrubbed

Lying on a truthful table;
  Clinging like three-day-old food 
To pots, 
Still scrubbing,
Oh, still scrubbing
Off debris --
You are to me,
  A lie wrapped up in honesty.
Form: Lyric

Cleaning Up The Mess

In suit of orange, he strides the scene
With tweets like whirling winds, sharp and keen
Promises made to sweep the debris
A tumultuous path to a grander decree

Wonderous Heart

Wondrous heart

In even cosmos,
Diamond and gold get glow,
Like knowledge to souls.
Breathing through debris in slush,
Opt for gems with wondrous heart.

Destruction From Did See

Destruction From Did See

From storm destruction we did see,
Along with all the ruins and debris;
Through hurried,
And things buried;
Is such a sad sight for you and me.
