Short Districts Poems

Beautiful England, oh how beautiful its landscapes are
How wonderful its villages and towns are
How fascinating London and its districts are
My wonderful home has made a huge difference in my life
I will carry this city in my heart forever, it's my new life...

Wander in deserted districts
Seek for wisdom on your path
To discern life’s meaning clearly.

Stilling your heart
And trying 
for the patience of perfection

Trying to gain a good heart
Till at the edge of the great sea
You see the unseen as your reward.

Turn back to a world of peace
And at the edge of the great sea
Start understanding....

Tea party's house entertainer
Is speaker complainer Boehner
Citizens are strained
Anger's hardly contained
But he's on a right wing retainer


Author's note:  Gerrymandered congressional districts have brought us house neo-cons who answer to some very foolish people.  Now, these folks will stop at nothing to make their special interests even richer while the rest of us get poorer....

Time to rest,
laying sound and ponder,
my mind will race and wander,
blinkers on, blinkers off,
time to turn my emotions off.

Mind, body and soul,
to each district my mind roll,
soul to soul as I go,
uplifting and peace,
but that districts a no no.

Oblivious to the carnage,
my good name may now be tarnished,
time for mind, body and soul to resolve,
the many reasons,
that make me want to evolve....

If I was gifted meant to be,
drift o'er the waves a shining sea,
shift the limbs and branched canopies,
sift the brambles edged a lea.

Might this time be of arrogance?
Contrite that plagues inheritance,
red light districts embarrass us,
whites of stars shift in defiance.

Be content in doing nothing,
A prudent soul would try to sing,
The student aimed degree missing,
Impudent tongue when found will swing....

We all desire to be poets
we were born to write wanting this
be the Poe that we find so strange
be Emile with her enchantment
Being Brecht in definitive elucubrations
Being romantic realistic as Rousseau
or even internet literati,
 minor court drama writers from our districts...
Well-known, consecrated poets
award winners...
We discovered that we are simple, mortal... not all dreams
take place...
But don't be discouraged
  life is not just here and in this world...!...
