Premium Member Alma Mater Ii

Accepted to medical school
Too old but in the entrance pool
Where is the back door? 
There's my dorm with a drawer 
Since I’m a cadaver quite cool

Premium Member Alma Mater

Higher learning in Iran we know
Is sometimes about long ago
Their school's short on praise
It's name starts a blame phrase
Which is ''Ayatollah U'' so!

Listen to poem:
Planet Water, Mater Mare-
earth and sky is everywhere
throughout all solar systems,
but water-based organisms
like us, and kin, need water
as maker and sustainer.

Premium Member Dearest Alma Mater

tradition-drenched halls
    ivy-covered walls
  dearest alma mater
    why'd you flatter
  me with this sham degree
  I've no skills, no connections
    my classmates take their meals
  in the house of corrections...

  you took my money, awakened false hopes
    hooked me on oxycontin, a pill-popping dope

Premium Member Semper, Mater Vester

Come sit with me, my darlings, 
beneath this apple tree.

Come sit with me, my sweethearts,
Do you not sense? It's me.

Come sit with me, my lovelies, 
all seasons of all years.

Come sit with me, my precious ones.
Come sit with me, my dears.

Premium Member Mater and Medium

Listen to poem:
Wet wet wet I be
Born a Piscean, 
water is my mater and medium.
It makes and sustains me,
My body contains a bag
of primordial sea soup
that bathes my cells
allowing me to be terrestial.
All life is water based
and the sea, rivers and lakes
beckon me to come back home for revival.
I live beachside, 'tis where I want to be
hearing the mood and sounds of the surf,
a lullaby to my life, an aqua echo
of H2O, 
over and out.

Summa Mater

The Ocean has no conscience,
no judgment, joy, or hate

She dances with you to her beat
in stirring waves of fate

With reverence you may enter
all blessings on the day

But just one slip and she reminds
what ancient mariners say…

“Red sky at morning, sailors take warning
red sky at night, sailors delight”

Her message best taken when early to bed
life in the balance, her power to dread

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: June, 2022)

Terra Mater

The cosmic opus,
The nature offers it all.
enticing, ethereal, expansive
Are you enchanted by how vast it is?
refreshing, rejuvenating, relaxing.
Does it fascinate you to see the creation so invigorating?
It's Nature, an epitome of exhilaration and unceasing growth.

Never forget the labyrinthine it is,
It's tunnels coequals the branches of nature,
At each end,
invariably, something new awaits 
So pick up the principles it purveys.

Mystical Magna Mater

Tectonic tango tantalizes towering
Mountainous mosques many miles making
Valley veins, voluptuous vegetation vacations
Seasonally sending succulent seeds stretching skyward soaking sun
Nurturing nature’s natural nomads
Why waste what’s willed willingly? Watch waters wisdom
Learning loyal love lavishly leaps luminosity
Gracious gratitude grand guide Gaia
Absolutely awaken admiring angelic
Planetary perfection presented proudly protecting people…
