Droplets
now clinging
to a grass wrack-
natural gravitas
shelved....

Once Barry Soetoro
needed gravitas to borrow.
As we all well know
he owes a debt to big-O....

equanimity
levity in gravitas
spontaneity in conformity
infusing vibrancy
in stillness

routinely
in rhythm are
we


Written yesterday afternoon in the garden took about a minute from idea to paper...

Angrily hanging up a smartphone lacks gravitas - jabbing a virtual button doesn’t offer the satisfying, physical release of slamming down a receiver...

A sprinkle of wit
      a dash of gravitas
    Not too precise
      idle your abacus

    A pinch of clarity
      to seek the cavity
    Where truth seeps in
      where daylight dawns...

seamless gravitas 
       buoyant in its thin repose-  
                symbiotic bliss
every breath gleans earth’s release  
      manna from a mother’s sigh

Gravitas 

Hey blue 
hello there red
Achoo!

Stay clear 
It’s contagious 
You hear!

Go now!
I can’t resist 
Somehow

She was a daring escape artist,
secret agent in her own maniacally
complicit central intelligence gravitas,
gritting darkly ravaged plug-in gray matter
weapon of choice - unsystematic wordy tumult 
seducing unhinged recondite translations...

gasbag loci.
Visions and wishes flow 
through us. 
Time terminates  
at the point of our eyes.
We are
heavy with circuits,
gravitas like 
digital machines.
We don't realize
how much we count.
We draw high prices.
Yet we
revolve around each other
as if we were stones....

this 
liminal
           utopia
a vapid
         vapour
implodes
          before our
eyes:

we stand 
            fixated
in gravitas,
             the sublime
in retreat,
        our mood blunt:
in fugitive mode
we clutch at hope
naked
      in our essence...

I- Insight without intuition
N-Never to understand
T-Trapping what can’t be caught
E-Endgame to confound
R-Riddle we play with ourselves
E-Earnestly said nothingness
S-Spoken in bewilderment
T-Time and again
I-In our ongoing confusion
N-Never capturing why
G-Gravitas without Veritas

…. Interesting!

IV. Gravitas

To impart that of which serves as the foundation to the first question.

Yet not to contemplate the premise is folly.

For the premise holds in itself a query.

Perchance The Query.

If I may indulge in such pursuits.

Follows then a discourse upon solitary elegance.

Profound.

Humbling.

Singularity.

albanese thought it good?
He'd have a go.' In hollywood.!
A replacement Elmer Fudd was needed
He'd be famous rich as Croeses.!
But things didn't go; just as they should..

He tried to voice a deeper tone
More gravitas..  Was that swift Flown!
He failed in mission; accomplished nil.'
He then retreated, senses blown.'
Now he's (albo dud),  of world renown.!

So ram in your elbows Aussies 
Get rid of the clown.!...

IDEAS
to save a dream
 & stimulate flowers
the symbolic
disposed
     prominent
conception of style
a gravitas
     remembered
 integrated
this grand concept
    tentative
yet   genuine


THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...
