Lamarck’s theory of evolution
What we learn we pass to our offspring
Scientists jumped on the bandwagon at first.
Due to his good looks and insistence....

The key to success
Ability
Patience
Endurance
Insistence
consistence
And actions
All, but not any exceptions
In the present tense
In the continuous tense
And in the future tense...

Candy kisses melt me
Thrown from a distance
Blue breezes blowing

Hearts so carefree
At cupids insistence
Love is growing.

What Would Happen With Persistence

What would happen with much persistence;
This very instance due to our own existence;
Out of respect,
Could be correct,
Apparently had appeared at our insistence.

Jim Horn

Now there is something to chew on....

bright red
against the gray
a thought startles
my everyday
meanders through
in a sluggish insistence	
that defies my ignoring
to push its color on me
beckons like a bloody finger
I'm drawn, there's no denying
evidenced by words
that chew their way
across this page...

In a well-known scientific journal
he read  this jaw-dropping article:
the mouth swarms with germs galore.
The result? He doesn’t kiss anymore.

And, if he does at all, understand
he does so with insistence
and always safer at a distance
and thrown only from his hand....

Persistent insistence,
   Dragging pride like a shadow.
All tongue and flesh and distance:
Persistent insistence
To previously unpracticed resistance-
   Oh, to be so shallow.
Persistent insistence,
   Dragging pride like a shadow.  


"Reputable"

Love’s entreaty sans insistence,
bliss fragrance wafting through the air,
seeks to erase from hearts distance,
embracing all who choose to pair.

Vaporised presence, a bliss mist,
flows freely with no to do list, 
luminous, joyous, self-aware,
spreading love and light everywhere....

Our wicked world
transposing the time on the clock; 
Awakening with a spectacular sunset 
wondrously we can withdraw; 
Caressed by the covers; 
precocious pout; 
Impossible in its insistence 
nothing matters now;
Dysania desires 
boycotting everything;
We devour breakfast in bed....

In a thin-skinned lifeboat,
On the waves of love,
With the cold blue below,
And the hot sun above,
Sits a soul softly rowing,
Like the wings of a dove.
As the heat of sweet resistance,
Echoes hard with pure insistence,
Then, in the midst, a sound is heard,
Of the song of an unseen bird....

“Life” I scolded, the other day

For 

Her insistence on repeating the same lessons

Innumerable times.

“If you had learned the first time around, no

need would have been there for me to go over 

them again!” She, austerely, replied.

WET

Moist Opal Bloosom   

Wet… baring cycles

Gentle for man’s insistence

Strong for the earth

 Harboring seed electric

Taste of Woman

Fruit of the vine

Her water a river

open sea

 his rain to

 moist opal blossom…

 

Blooming

Time turns its wheel, 
The pace exceeding comfort. Yet,
The world has proceeded
Complacent.
Time transitions with insistence 
Between raging waterfall and, for a distance,
whispering river. Ever changing path and
Speed.
Time moves, impatient,
Its inhabitants – unaffected- 
Even while questioning
Existence....

That sliced harvest Crescent
rising erubescent , 
weaned from previous Orb shining,
looked down on lovers pining,
separated by distance
at tragedy’s insistence.
 
As it slid across the sky,
the lovers asked it "why?",
But nought was said by that celestial Slice;
they both knew ..
they were paying the price....

I waited about six minutes but the person who was
going to show me did not come back fast enough
so I did it myself.

impatience is my first, middle and last name,
and often points out my laziness and swiftness
to depend on someone else to read the instructions.

I know better. 
I do better.
I am better than that....

What Are We?

When this question arrives
with increasing and sometimes
desperate insistence..
We apparently must suffer
until we dissolve
the boundaries and continuities 
of our youthful bodies..
Frightening this can be
until we discover
the joy of being
transparent
transparencies in transparence
waves in water......

what birds do I prefer
to slow me at night?

red winged blackbirds lament
and the mourning doves plight

what birds do I prefer 
to greet me each day?

the chickadee's insistence
the cardinal's delight...

Grey ashen permeates
Your solitary existence.
Locked and shackled
At your minds insistence.
Presented my lively colors
Of sacrifice.
Happy hues rejected,
Not once, but thrice.
Some comprehend not,
What others endure,
To give endless color,
For another's dim world.
They seep in pity,
Harbor anger, complain.
Their self loathing black,
Sets fire to rain....

Jimi's groovy guitar leaps
Psychedelic anthem beats
Certainly a broader reach
Than what banal mainstreams seek

Janis sang in passion rough
Too much for the upper crust
Voice of insistence and rush
Love songs with a gritty touch

Jim's strange Doors opened destined
Music of scant time's lessons
Fallen stars burn in legend
Breathless at twenty-seven
