Deference To Rene'

Do you believe consciousness
a free state
Choice empowering the moment
strong
Neurons firing at your
discretion
Time unencumbered
—reality won

To Visit

Word
and her friends,
   O'MoreWords,
have come to visit.

Time, in deference, 
   steps aside,
taking the children,
Must-have and Should-do,
   and locking 
No-time away.

The Look

that look

soft as owl wings
your eyes caressed his cheek
and the room dimmed
in deference to your love
the rattle of plates and streams 
of patron conversations divided 
then flowed past into nonexistence

Beware of the Pink Praying Mantis

Prissy pink praying mantis pretends no preference
Delightful dapper Dan, a suitor, gives her deference.
They dance a tantalizing tango with her cousin Ted.
Before the dance is finished, Dan has lost his sweet head.

Solomon's Cloak

Truth is not an absolute
but an attitude of commitment
Throwing its blanket decidedly
over questioning and doubt
Paying deference to the moment
while blessing its intention
Choices made and choices bade
—verbatim roundabout

Glimmer of Sun

Sun peeks from behind tree line.
Soft remnant of cold day
Which did not warm up until late afternoon.

Last bit of optimism
Slipping away fast 
With glimmer of sun.

Making room for cold, dark, evening.
Moon smiles, recognizing
Sun’s deference to his authority.

The Man With the Giant Carrot

Nathan wanted to make a difference 
And do something in deference
So he made a giant carrot
That became his personal warrant

To create smiles as he went
The Melbourne streets he sent
To others passing a silly smile
And Nathan knew it was worthwhile.

Mind Curtsied To Soul Infuriating Imagination

Mind curtsied to Soul in deference and respect.
Accidentally infuriating Imagination.
What am I supposed to do? He chastised Mind
You belong everywhere, you are the dream key, Mind told him.
You can do anything you want. 
This appeased Imagination in a fierce way,
and he finally quit pouting.

Robin Holds Her Ground

the sun tried to outlast the bird
beat down on his feathers 
in a circular motion

bird was a robin, used to turmoil
she held her ground, ignoring the heat
come on! Sun said. Give!

a confident mother, she stayed on the sign
defying the sun to give her more
sun bowed in deference to her station

Star of Bethlehem

A bright announcing beacon

Of that divinely vivid moment

Casting out it’s cleansing light

For all to see and partake of

Calling the Magi to the manger

Purity of deference for the Messiah

Illuming human shadows with belief

Granting all the peoples a choice

And the gift of chance for…eternity

Juliet

Juliet

If perchance that thou should dance.
Twould be the light fantastic,
Hath no power in deference,
Might death, if called, be askance,
Thy breath be sweet,
Julia bequeathes, requites,
 Unholy, mist of passion,
perchance to bride claim, yet myself,
olde English takes a lashing

- Deluxe - Pleiades D -

Dear faithful diary

Dawn beautiful and pink

Dazzling early sunrise

Deference in silence

Describing with the soul

Deserves admiration

Deep ... deeper part of me

mad as a hatter

Mad as a hatter is a phrase that came naturally about
In the eighteen hundreds hatmakers were going insane
Using mercuric nitrate, which removed skin from pelts
A poison that had them acting funny, going postal
Another phrase that came along much later
In deference to postal workers who went insane
From the mundane repetitiveness of their jobs.

Let Me Be a Goffhammer

If I am to be a tool, please let me be a goffhammer.
Let me forge and cast, and let my knives be envied.

If I am to be a tool, please let me be a goffhammer.
Let me be all powerful, and let the axes bow in deference.

If I am to be a tool, please let me be a goffhammer.
Let me be the envy of the engineers; let me wow them and
cut them a bit….

Being Lionized is Not for Everyone

Author Lewis Carrol was horrified
At the thought of being lionized
He did not want approval from anyone
Wanted to be left alone to create pure fun

Lionization is for people who want adoration
Who like parades; to be noticed at a celebration.
Lionization is for people who seek attention and praise
Adoration and deference, a narcissist’s egotistical phase.

The Pursuit of Happiness

The Pursuit of Happiness

Though it should appear my conscience is clear
Still someone will sneer and possibly jeer
I seek not to care with deference to peers
for those who would fare despite all their fears
Create a nice sphere begin a new year
A lessening of tears a world full of cheers

A Pleasant Demeanor

I was reasonable and had no grudges for anybody. I had the option to put the past nibbled quickly. At the point when I meet my foe, I welcome him. Praises are an auspicious remedy to the opposing team. I'll be cheerful leastwise, for the man I scorn. Whenever neared my heart with calm deference tone.

Welcome New Day

Why I say welcome new day
When every day is same
Why I say good night to night
Which I have to spend on bed
I want make a deference
But j don’t know how and what
Who admire my work?
She live in my heart
But physically she live too far
So no one with me 
Who understood my feeling?
Who do care of me?
What to do in apposite condition
Now I stop to view dream
I am happy with lonely wiling’s

Searches In Writings and Elsewhere

Not always but

The Search is often

Engaged In writings 

Of the past..

Such writings may be

Handed down from

Sages who have 

Weathered the criticisms

Of the centuries..

A deference to their

Words is accepted

As the search ensues..

There seems also

The appearance of

A realization that

All of this is story 

Equal to other stories

Of searching in 

Other climes...

To C West

Standing redundant
in an echoing wind,
renewing your vanity
with deference to all

At home on the fringes
where truth is an orphan,
you line up your enemies
canons shot at the wall

A general of
a malingering army,
whose entitled thinkers
lay truth in the grave

The devil is calling
his pulpit awaits you,
the olive branch hollow
—your memory enslaved

(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: November, 2020)

This Strangeness

This strangeness can seem
so insidious and violating
Glaring at a stricken life
while assuaging 
a broken lense and its tense beam
Streams peter and crawl
silently
beside intended tears
Friends till the last embrace
when the bough broke

Learning endures my trust
Each baleful of insight 
ignites a trail
where something burns,
and another arises
But this summer does in deference to its blaze
require some rest,
its master, another day

Shining India Feeling Freedom of Fresh Breathe

Celebrate again like every years
Happiest day when India went republic
Great day of great constitution
Hard work of harder ambedker
Feel the deference of our unity
Celebrate the happiest journey
Our dignity our aim
Win on world 
Through our artistic and scientific hand
The day of bright sunshine
Harder work fulfill each dream
Harder work always show shine
So do celebration for our every peak
Shining India feeling freedom of fresh breathe

Lessons Learned

Do not seek or chose to find, correction in another’s mind; When at the heart of all, we know; enlightenment comes from what we sow. To criticize or correct ourselves is for the best since others seldom can surmise the simplest jest. In deference to said life so roughly hewn ‘tis the clown that earns heavenly boon. For the gift of lucidity is rare without calamity and few honorifics abound for those who claim sanity.

Chirr Chirree Chirr Chirree Doo Doo Doo

The bells are ringing in deference to the songbirds.
Cardinals, robins, and one lone blue jay, I always feel sorry for.
Twittering and tweeting, serenading me, the blue jay hanging back a bit.
Chirr. chirr. chirree. chirr. chirr. chirree. chirree.
One of the more arrogant robins is throwing her voice like a ventriloquist.
I feel loved, revered, honored, included, admired, and amused.
Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. The symphony keeps going,
Impressing me greatly.
