by imitation
and more by absorption
simply letting the sun speak to me
of light and dark mysteries...

food with wooden spoons of weird shape;
it may seem archaic
in ages less artistic...
an idea we still imitate....

An artist paints an imitation
of what God has created.
Beauty is abundant and free-
Our senses are almost saturated
by all the loveliness we see....

Flies buzz
    mosquitoes sting
  I try to whack them
    they both have wings

  Audiences roar
    Politicians sing
  The media attacks them
    They duck the arrows, the slings...

When did every soul 
become a battle ground?

When did every man
Speaking words of imitation divinity
Become God?

When did Judgement Day come,
And how many Gods now stand to judge?...

It seems so bare, still cold, unaware of the scent of the rose.
I’ll take a whiff of plastic stem, the thorns pretend, petals don’t fall.
I drop the imitation at the brushing of soft sentiment.

Rough, uncut

From charcoal surround to beauty, under pressure an imitation
Synthesizing, mixing, pressing
Brilliant, cubic,

maniacal or just plain stupid?

yes, I am the neighbor shouting at the rooster.
So who is the bright one?
Want to hear my imitation crowing?...

I know what a poem
looks like.

I know how to make
my prose look like verse.

A little tuck here,
an indent there,

et voila! It’s verse! 
or worse ...

a pale imitation of seem.
(can I have some ice cream?)...

Caricature is a picture, description, or imitation 
of a person in which certain striking characteristics 
are exaggerated that will create a comic or grotesque 
effect.

Capture rapture caused by a caricature.

Tears
are not loud
enough to express
hurt,
not thick 
enough to paint
a clear
picture of pain.

Smiles
are so silent
you strain to hear happiness
screaming
from deep within,
so bright,
yet a dull imitation
of joy.l...

it is not just a good imitation
not like Jackson says at all
I think it's the real thing
when dreams of you recall
no, this isn't a good imitation
these blues in every hue
even when it's not raining
I am blue here without you...

be authentic
be true
to the song
playing in your heart 

there is no need
to contract consciousness 
by betraying the muse
reverberating within

imitation as flattery
scars the soul
recognise and celebrate 
your uniqueness...

You're in the last stages
of lost wages,
of empty pages,
of spent rages,

You're in the termination 
of inspiration
of imitation,
of expiration,

You're in the culmination
of emulation,
of exploitation,
of domination

of me....

Imitation is sincere,
Flattery in every line,
DH inspires passion.

Words read so similar, 
Anger ignites in me,
DH pestered to frustration. 

I create havoc, slinging venom 
Like tossing candy in a parade,
DH pays the price for my sin....

Hate is a secret obsession 
Like an indirect confession;
It is an outward manifestation 
Of a failed imitation.

It is an admiration 
That did not come into full fruition;
It is a desperate reaction 
To an immense adoration.
