Deeply, dangerously, 
daringly, darkly
defiantly, deadly
deftly, dumbly

disgustingly dis-guarded

The U.S. is broken, it needs to be fixed
The America we once knew is just a myth
A threat of anarchy 
Looms defiantly
Must be stopped, something's surely amiss...

they must think I am color-blind or color-unaware
but I am aware, because I am an artist.
I am orange with black and silver markings.
how dare they call me a young emerald tree boa
what part of me is emerald? I ask defiantly....

Dandelion vs sunflower 

What is the difference 
Are they the same?

Dandelion 

A foot tall not even?
Fuzzy things all over the top

Sunflower 

Four feet or more?
A flower on top

Defiantly not the same

Roaring round roads raucously  
Orally overtly offending operators
Acrid antagonistic adjectives aired
Defiantly daring distracted drivers

Ranting raving railing
Aggravate annoy atrocious
Gregarious gone Goebbels
Exacerbate engage enrage...

Asses Bray Constantly,

Defiantly Endeavoring Freedom,

Gaining Hellacious Injuries!

Joking Kentuckians Leap

Midgets Near Ohio,

Pondering Quilted Rugs -

Scientists Traveling, Understand:

Vampires Witholding Xrays,

Yodel Zanily!...

Indian summer
the nuzzle of a fawn
as I doze

She stands, not defiantly
not with threats of maim.
She has trust and curiosity
as any babe would have.
She captured my heart
for one split second in time. 
Then she was gone.

True story: October 2014...

I open it, leaves are stuck
prick it, no movement
burn it, expels fire defiantly
speak to it, no response
sit on it, no complain
What a dead letter this one is
it is picked, used and thrown
into the gutters of nothingness
it lies eyes closed, dead
but everyone watches on...

Can't  stand the word society
Provokes immediate anxiety
Same thing with psychiatry
It's the opposite of variety
It infuriates me justifiably
Makes me act defiantly
Almost all wrong entirely
I rebel against compliancy
Then I'll sit and have a quiet tea

We will all live
to a ripe old age.

If not here,
then probably
over there.

If not over there,

then defiantly
someplace else.

The mind is
everywhere
at once.

Experiences vary.

When I die in one place
the others simply
move on.

We will all live
to a ripe old age....

wave
after
wave
pounding
ruthlessly 
against
Her
weary
jaded mind
defiantly
eroding
tattered 
threads
of frail
sanity…
and yet...
She
clings to
hope

Down here on the skin of the planet E
Desperately clutching at sanity
Despondent to thinking of never
Deciding to go on forever
Dreading each day spent alone
Doing the best that I can
Defiantly
Drinking the
Dregs of my coffee
Drying my cheek with my hand
Doodling
Dribbling on
Dancing with
Donald the
Doofus...

The cutting edge of Fall
Shears the leaves from trees,
Exposing them as ramrod tall
Soldiers soon to freeze.

These warriors of wood
Battle with the gale
Defiantly they’re braced, and should
Be, when Fall-winds wail.

Are we as brave as well?
How will we bear the burn
Of winter’s sleeted, bone-chilled hell?
Trees, help us learn....

Ravens dream 
Haunting forever stark
look to the moonlight dark 
house full of midnight
Feeling the magnetic wells
In pools of infinity 
dogs bark defiantly 
out into the Enigmatic Lands
the indigo wings take light
Feeling the unseen 
the presents of something 
working in-between, lurking 
Damnation and salvation a 
dwelling in silence
as Ravens scream...

If clouds could wave
oblique droplets in favour of time
I would abide by the flow of innocence
The weighted rain defiantly
slides 
in sideways purple drops,
that drip in stealthy steps
Each decides a conscious life
and ends one
The furtive probe seeds our pain
and slows the infectious rain,
for these clouds to rise again
and again 
in tiny princely steps…...

The words I hold back,
leaves painful bite marks
making my tongue bleed,
leaving my mouth full of blood.

With the pain being so unbearable,
I realize speaking my mind is less painful.

 So I will no longer bite my tongue
I will say whatever's on my my mind 
and let my words flow,
because I'm not here to be a people pleaser
and I'm defiantly not starting today....

Regain to love
And change in to jewel’s
Work is hard
But I must reach to the bank
Everything look beautiful
View should be clear
While start with positive thought
You could regain
Life is a long battle
Fight create fortune
But continuous effort
Like every changing season
Defiantly come with wind of change
And a new bright sun say welcome
And sunshine make the way...

God’s Will
Dr. James E. Martin
©April, 2014


This is the day that the Lord hath made,
His instructions this day are to be obeyed.
To choose defiantly this course to not take
Is to choose a huge mistake to make.

We sometimes think we know what is best.
To think this way is to fail the test.
So sad it is to finally learn
We should’ve earlier begun His will to discern....

On the world stage
Stood two men with no class
And with words tossed
Turned defiantly ass to ass
Locked and loaded 
Ten paces they did take
But when they fired
What a mess they did make
Try as they may
They could not hide
From heat seeking missiles
That targeted their backside 
So that now when they talk
Nothing can be heard
Because with each breath 
Out comes a turd....
