Short Iota Poems

Does God care? I think
Not… but if she does care… she
Doesn’t care a lot

hidden behind; smile
shows up in the eyes, lifts the
mask an iota
where her trite teeth show under
personality cover

Terry or Jaclyn, matters not one iota
Still has the same loveable persona
Been far too long
Hearing her song
Best not go astray again, sweet magnolia...

A UFO went to land in Dakota
But the brakes didn't work one iota.
        It didn't take long
        to decide what was wrong
seems the space ship was made by Toyota!...

Listen to poem:

Nice to see the notice
Neatly posted on board
Nuance Needs Attention!
Nurture well each notion
Netted by casting deep
Note each iota jot
Neglect no detail, none....

I met a salesman from North Dakota
Who was adept at meeting her quota
More money she made
Than jobs ever paid
And she shared not with me an iota.

If all the tears that ever fell
    from lovers' hearts broken
  were to flood the conscience
    of this erstwhile cruel world

  Why, then, things wouldn't
    change one iota
       would they?...

My Friend,
He that wanders through
my mind as if it were His
asks me to declare
that you are there
and all living beings
are there in this tiny room of time
an iota magnified to infinitude.
He also wishes to make clear
that you have no mind
but His....

I awoke one day
Awakened to the spirit
Always lending a helping hand
Ready to listen
I learned through the fires of life
The importance of friendship
It’s not who befriends you the first that matters one iota
For it’s the friend who remains, when all others have fled...

Rays of light pierce my soul and warm my minds delight,
And echo far beyond what my pupils can track, 
And the darkness never matches a single
Iota in its celestial fight.
For the glance of ultra violet light,
Beholds a sense of the idiosyncrasies that I choose to lack....

The day I learned,
you were in love with
her, 
I cried.
The day I learned,
none of it was real,
I cried for weeks.
The day I learned,
you never loved me,
I wanted to die.
There must be an iota of feelings,
or you wouldn't have said I love you,
at least on the outside....

Music to my soul




As plucking of strings 
rhymes with my heart,
Water of the wild springs
dances from its very start,

The iota of droplets
allures as luminous pearls,
Yen my buoyant dulcets
to tame all luscious hurls.

the countdown
unstoppable
steady gallop
not altered
by one iota
the sprint
as days numbered
turn inward
with introspection
reevaluating
how to spend
the time left
the needs
to fulfill
consummate
immortalize

Life stands above my broken body and battered soul
Shatter tears ooze broken dreams
As the last iota of hope drifts from me
Something inside stands up
Standing in the sun i reach out my hand and grab all of reality
and pull it into my grasp
Smiling the voice inside growls now life its my turn...

Like the wind life blows through forests of men,
Deep the valleys of challenges in myriad ways


Like a butterfly flower upon flower we impress,
Swift in its pace life unfolds to find happiness


With an iota in it all we find it is a gift from above,
For all we need from each other is love....

"Just an iota of love in the domain of hate can make unimaginable significant difference, like a drop of water sending ripples of waves along the waters"

"Math is realistic and perfect in terms of its precision, equality and stability but it should not be relied upon as a standard in predicting humanity”...

rocks watching the moon rise
over the banyan grove
in the shadows 
the monkeys fornicate
ears and eyes recording
this singularly unique but ordinary evening
the glowing moon never moves an iota
while it is being watched
the jumping pike
makes a triumphal splash
all motion moves in invisible chains...

FRAGMENTS 5


Assorted fragments tossing
In the wind-blown gravity
Of being and becoming
Not yet adulterated by time
And mellow beyond space
Yet all-abiding in principle
Where each iota of blood
Gushes in tandem even prompts
Simple harmonic motion hence

Without an iota…
out of the pan
into the fire
for my wokeness
an eternal pyre
God given compassion 
comfort 
I cannot see
for my own
you will not believe
they say you can’t teach
an old dog 
new tricks
but I will still try
between the stones
and the sticks
despite 
what you’re believing 
I wish you
ease of being...

   Shouting and screaming
     about events far away
   Protestors shut down
     the Golden Gate Highway

   An important trial had to be canceled
     business-as-usual victimized, ransomed
   to the vain yells of the progressive nation
     which won't affect one iota
                                  Hamas' devastation

You think you know me
A river that runs deep
I am an ocean you fool
A sailors retreat

You think you know me
I'll let you in on this
You only know an iota
I am pure Bliss

You think you know me
By the light of the Moon
We needed more time
You left to soon

You think you know me
I laugh, you don't
Our fun was a second
You bailed, now run...

What would fame bring
what would it change
One iota of truth
the stoppage of rain

Living exposed
the arrows to sling
You know what you know
whether knave or a king

Accolades fall
slaps on the back
Stumble or stall
and your patron’s attack

Life in the shadows
freedom proclaimed
Famously absent
—yourself to ordain

We all have gathered here together
And we have to leave together
Let us promise to each other
To shape our future better

A small act of remembrance,
Will bring an iota of fragrance,
Let us prove our excellence,
By utilizing our brilliance

Let us always have zeal and zest
To do things to our level best
To say everything in a gist
Le us have good plans in our list!...

Hang up your hat. Recline on the sofa and drape your legs

Over the ottoman. I don't mind one iota. You're the guest of the hour

Make yourself comfy. We'll laugh over drinks! Stay awhile, if not more

Enjoy the creature comforts. And please, feel free to drop by anytime
