Short Formative Poems

Yeti came down and stuck out his tongue
Ugly, black and spotted, it looked like dung.
I had bad nightmares
My formative years
For this awful memory forever clung...

I am too dexterous,
too unique,
too livee,
too formative,
too statuesque,
too Jessalynn,
too enlightened,
too memorable,
too restricted,
& too captivating to even fathom, by any means of you....

Who'd like to see “coloring books” reappear
The past time that occupied our formative years
Spreading unending joy
For all girls and boys
Stopped us from kicking old ladies in the rear...

The phase 
Amazed 

Went those 
Days dazed

Childhood 
Escaped

Those days
Bullies

Pushed me 
I learned

I pushed 
Back up!

Shut up!
Fist fight

Fury
And might 

Fought back
Tender 

Fear years...

In their formative
moments
artists live alone
Sharing themselves
only when
the pain has dulled

In corners
of dark musings  
their spirit’s hide
Calling out  
whenever the lights go down
— and the rush is gone

(The New Room: May, 2025)

fluid
   frivolity

within,
formative
...immediate:
articulates
   the
     visionary
with
    earthy
     directness:
unclogs
   the
     tedium
with
   inventive
    freeswheeling
     thoughts
to
tickle 
     inspiration

Parental perimeters
Rules upon rules
Encage their helpless children
Who have no other life guides
Until the formative years are over

Children are parental pawns
Humans without power
Creatures with no rights
No say so, stuck in cages
At the mercy of parents who have all the power...

Breathe it in ~ fill up your lungs

Their tones muted as the moving crystals

Hummingbird singing a melodious song

Provides you with an opportunity to understand

Nature's powerful formative influences

When children play,
Imagination, their fast friend,
takes them on grand adventures.

Adults observe their little ones, 
cherishing those formative times
when children play.

Kids become heroes
when they join hands with
Imagination, their fast friend.

Let’s encourage kids
to use Imagination, which
takes them on grand adventures.

Buried in sand, tiny feet
Scrape the clamp of setting stone
Making excursions from leaf to tongue

Hoping this single strand of weather holds
What molds the mounting branch
Feathered on wing-tipped idea

Emerging sinuous
Imagination and suggestive body
Crawling uncouth from molecule to brain

Formative nerves find their counterpart
In seashore settings
Hope burning in molten measure...

The crispness, the sharpness, the quality that creation has is an unlimited wonder.
Nature, it looks to me that it will last for eternity.
Nature is endlessly creative. What could be more clear?
What forms the light? What forms the matter? What forms the organisms? Isn't it the entire universe, having a formative influence?
Oh, by the road--creation grace.
Nature stands and rests so true. Do so too....

As a critical thinker,
The size of my fist,
The information maker,
Excepts a formative list.

Tools as variety,
Simple or exhaggerated,
The persuasive society,
Populars updated.

Celeberties, actors, and fame,
A standpoint to judge,
Some will play the game,
Others push; nudge.

Each are a phase,
Like a butterflies menopause,
Honesty will engage,
Setting back grateful flaws.

BE understanding OUR KNOWLEDGE is the size of a fist....

when we dance I remember France 
why I am quite taken with your 
masculine formative desires my hearts 
rather fond or your sudden rapture 

that bestows me each time you enter 
a room my mind's frazzled dazzled daze 
as I see only bright stars gathering 
surrounding us within a brilliant glow 

you light up my life you awaken 
my senses why nothing else ever 
really mattered I'd loved you 
always if only I had more song...

This is an interesting question
 born in city of Glasgow
 moved at 6 weeks to Ayrshire
 then 1990 to Renfrew I go

 So where is my home?
 being brought up in Ayrshire
 my formative years are there
 so memories are ever on fire

 Now based in Renfrew
 a small quiet town
 once home to a airport
 now no planes come down

 So Scotland is my nation
 born and brought up in this land
 here the covenanters braved the foe
 till death they did stand

Enveloped in luxuriant
life giving verdigris;
I breathe in the light;
exhale the darkness.

Cellular metamorphosis;
fusion of spirit essence;
concession to chrysalis
trans-formative
intervention...

Miraculous visitation,
persistent progression,
a celestial procession;
time-slipping
towards renewal...

concatenation luring elation;
blissful appreciation
for Raphael’s gift...
I succumb to
supernal rejuvenation.
