Still born....

by the pain

The heaviest memories,

heaviest lizard intimidates me
just how heavy can a giant beast be?
a curly buffalo eater
has gulped down brother Peter
Komodo dragon I now run from thee...

Far deep within the realms of this heaviest heart of mine,
There is more to everything I have ever said to you.
Here in my heart lies hurt feelings, on the other side of this line.

The Sun selects her cheeriest face
   when heaviest rains abate

There's nothing worse
   than daylight gray

as with baited breath
   here on Earth
      the Sun's face
         ~ we do await...

The heaviest isotope of hydrogen,
It has one proton, two neutrons,
And one electron.
If you forget the mass number is three,
Use the prefix tri
You’ll remember the mass,
And the chemistry test you’ll pass....

One pound of iron,
Which is the heaviest asked A,
Both are equal,replied B,
A,hit the head of B with the pound of cotton,
Smiled B,
Then iron,
Didn't cry B this time but said "iron,iron"!...

Poetry is good. The rhythm of the words can reach within the heaviest hearts. The meaning of the words free spirits to dance in the moonlight, or between earthen boundaries, if released to pass thru the gateways of the heart....

Somehow, silence speaks more than words.
Sometimes it's peaceful, sometimes it's not.
Sometimes, it's the calm before the storm.
And sometimes, it is the answer to the war.
But silence- it speaks the heaviest words of them all....

Open, humble, heroic, open healthy hardened hearts
open, happy honest hearts, open hungry hearts
Open human hard hearts upon heavy, heavy heaviest hearts

With my heart hovering
On the heaviest roads
East, West, South and North
I falter and fall 
But continue to walk

As a bird who carries his nest 
In his heart along 
I continue to walk

With a hearty smile 
as I recall the eternal call
I continue to walk

Chokri Omri...

Busted Flat …

Poetic busking
the white lines advancing

A voice on the asphalt
the rubber — the road

The Heaviest Silence

Oh, to be cursed
with the burden of truth

Without the propensity
—to speak it out loud

Heaviest bony fish at five thousand pounds
The ocean sunfish is the roundest of the rounds.
Looks like a giant head maneuvered by a frilly tail.
Eats jellyfish by the dozen, ten foot long is the male.
It cannot move daintily, delicately or very fast.
If you meet one in person, the memory will no doubt last....

I refuse to work today said the miserable ant
As he began to hoist the heaviest crackers
onto his broken, torn sensitive back
startling his comrades who reported him
for being lazy and trying to get out of work
which annoyed them in every direction 
as they marched in a line to the pink side of the blue bowl....

Kai put the koi on first
Their bags were the heaviest
With all the water weight

Next he attached his bags of goldfish
Luckily, he lived in a town where people understood
His need to sell, and the need for the fish to survive

Kai pedaled his bike to the market
Hoping not to encounter practical jokers or thieves...

Three thousand, eight hundred and forty pounds
The record for the heaviest bull alive
Belonged to a Chianina named Donetto
At the Arezzo exhibit in 1955

Nobody in Italy could imagine
What it must have cost, just to keep him full
Three thousand, eight hundred and forty pounds
Now, tell me that's not a lot of bull!...

I want to hold time in my pocket
Hide it away for another day
Pull it out maybe put it on a locket
Observe my cache in the shade

Store away my redeemable hours
The minutes, the seconds
Even in the heaviest of showers
Look how they glisten; I reckon
This could all be for nothing
But surely many I beckon
With my siren song of endless time...

Not knowing
Weighs the heaviest on the mind
For the dreams of what could be
Occupy the very core of being
Allowing not the breath of free time

My mind seems
Forever set on dreaming
The constant wishing of changed color
A penetrable hue of fragrance and emotion
The very offerings that breathe life
Back into my dying heart and mind...

May you meet new people who will expand your life.
Allow me to help lift your burdens when they feel heaviest.
Teach and share the meaning of caring unconditionally.
Let my words cause a smile, or laughter, once in awhile,
and somehow help you believe in things unseen,
by expanding your heart like never before,
so you remain optimistic in spite of it all....

Do all people want to be famous?
Maybe when they are kids.
I wonder if John did.
It’s difficult to tell.
No one recorded his feelings.
He is known to be the heaviest human recorded on record.

Care to guess John Brower Minnoch’s weight?
Six hundred pounds?
No
Nine hundred?
Sorry
Twelve hundred?
If history is to be believed, John weighed fourteen hundred pounds....
