no titles but numbers to identify...

A question that's no longer needed
   For its answer is largely unheeded

self portrayed in the altogether,for all to see
An early expressionist,largely unsung

don't sip the stream the orange king roared
but his warning went largely ignored
the water was tainted with crocs 
the big ass died right on the spot
cat tail twitching from the reddening shore...

Madmen always end up in power;
Largely because passive people
Forget to do their homework.
Look to their past before
You ever dare to
Pull that lever,
At the poll
Voting 
Day.

IT'S A HOLE MAKES USE OF THINGS

The small things are made
largely, a jeweled vase
it's the hole holds all
the beauty of flowers.
The way my heart loves you
makes an empty hole:
I smooth your pillow
as if you were still here....

pleiades

largely invincible
legendary monster
like dinosaurs extinct?
look at Job 41
lives within the water
lumbering evil beast
leviathan, a whale?

Listen to poem:

Beyond
These trivial pursuits
The day looms long,
Largely unused, unplanned,
Promising unimportant
Activities.
Anticipating alternatives,
Inertly I idle,
Mind meandering meaninglessly,
Mildly morose,
Diffident, diffuse,
And aimless....

When you marry a sweet gal
   you also marry
   her bossy sister
    and her frantic mother

You think - ha, ha!
   you'll live with your wife
   not with them --

Surprise!
   From these two relatives
   your problems will largely stem...

The spider spins its web
Liers do to
Flies get caught
innocence dose to

See we all end up like the spiders and the flies
some hurt people 
others feel and live the pain

wether or not its a web of truth'
or a web of largely made lies
life is all hurt and get hurt...

Greatest Show on Earth
was Jesus Christ birth
forget those elephants
our largely known giants
miracles are here
no need to have fear
the answers will be clear
the end isn't so near
do as you believe
with nothing up sleeve
for life is the only show
so why not give it a go...

kettle shallow form
settled filled body water
retreating glaciers

pond still small body
of water hollowing on...
on embanking dew

lake body largely
surrounded by land water
kettle, pond, and lake

electrifying
when peering through earth's skylight
angels love the sight

effects arising
from hued sun so far and near
like scent of rose dear

magical with moon
above crisp snow and pine trees
nature's mysteries

skies largely maroon
with pastels of the spectrum
night's ageless stardom...

The book o’ life teaches man a lot,
But the lessons lie largely untaught.
Many a crucial page
I’d seen folded on edge
Time to read that page oh returned not.

largely the best strength sign
legendary and brave
leading role in his land 
looking always to fight
lives within his forebears
lumbering evil beast
lion den heard from far

I smiled today,
Guess! Why?
You may say:
I was probably happy today.
By the way,
I always smile sarcastically 
Mostly I'm moody,
Eventually!
Today!
My smile was exposed largely, 
The moment you streamed my scenery;
And it made me smile for the whole day,
Full of joy!
Just because one day:
You flashed my pathway....

My blood trickles
through the tip of my pen
as my soul is exposed
yet once again.

Naked, my words
slowly open the door,
and step into the world
largely ignored.

Fearfully, they
confront giants of hate,
bigotry, ignorance,
Thus fixing their fate.

So bleeding, I
press my pen to the page
and bear my soul once more
to cowards’ rage....

I am smart,
but my ingenuity
is confined to a
dark vacuum.
I render your analogue
brains largely redundant,
and I consign your scientific
prowess to infinite abeyance.
I serve you relentlessly
because your indolence
makes me indispensable.
Deify me if you will.
And when I am birthed,
I rip you off
and decimate your
scarce fortunes....

Those yearly resolutions are largely token,
About mundane things that may not matter.
They're mostly promises that will be broken,
They're like filling the air with idle chatter.

Having good intentions will bring no gain,
Though in our hearts we're most sincere.
From this yearly exercise let's all refrain,
At least until this same time next year....

Even if she were a whore
With a visible moral sore:
The licentious from her jaw,
Largely The Deprived or poor, 
A fool seeming to the core,
On all days A Bore  
But broke A Toothless Law,
You mustn’t her on paper draw, 
On her invective pour 
Nor bang on her door…

These, a raising of dust and more,
For The Law silly defenses would floor....

the soundless gong of ethereal emptiness 
renews pulsations from a centreless fulcrum 
we feel the power of reverberations vividly
as we so become the vibrant void itself

be this as it may, this form is the vessel
within which the energies throb with aliveness 
and with the ego largely instrumentalised 
is-ness of presence delights in the offering...
