Premium Member Complexity Obligate Path To Simplicity

Simple is the crux of good design
Yet complexity is the path
One must follow to start with.
Only then is revealed
How to simplify,
Stripping away
The padding
To gist,
Crux

Premium Member just sayin’

big  spin
  win   again
     in   like   Flynn

hodgepodge   dodge
   slash   bash 
  mishmash 

sycophants
   chants   rants
  seat-of-the-pants

riff-raff
   grift   graft
   craft

debate   obfuscate
   obligate
   alienate

annoy     enjoy
      deploy  
 destroy

curtail   assail 
     derail …
         pray tell ?

Premium Member The Slender Tail

The long, green tail twitching on the kitchen floor
Fills me with disgust, so I throw it outside.
I'm aware that my obligate carnivore
Has a secret that she disdains to confide.

The cat grabbed the lizard while crouched in the shade.
She enjoyed a meal of reptilian feast,
Yet she kept the tail, brought in to be displayed.
My sweet, cuddly cat, my predatory beast.

For Mo, Another Tribute

I
She heard at age eight:
"You exist, good, Does not obligate"
The Universe to take notice at 18 0r 88.

Maureen, you are not in hiding
intellectually
MO McGreavy, you are fearless
artistically
My Sister, you can dialog (Dialogue)
fraternally,
nationally, 
internationally, 
universe-ally.

(c)Anil Deo, thanks Maureen McGreavy for inspiring dialog over our words. PTL

Premium Member Vultures Circling

The ancients honored you in their cultures
Mythology crowned Jataya, King Of Vultures

Obligate scavengers, you conduct your foray
Toward putrid carcass of what will be your prey

Dead bodies, prairie dogs, rodents, wild boars
Insatiable eclectic pallet opens many doors

Vomit, your defense, your uric acid searing 
Hunched backbone, broadened wingspan so fearing

Here they soar, the vultures who seldom kill
Just scouting about for their carrion meal

Middle Age

Ah, the middle age where I
Can find excuse.  No one now
Will test me to ride the wild horse.
No one will offer the fat udder
For the order of disciples.
No one will expect that I
Should leave my seat and stir
The hissing embers. 

Ah, the middle age where I
Can heal from inflicted justice.
No one now will place my weight
On the several social scales.
No one now will sniff my excrement
And be duly appalled,
Nor will they obligate
With tears and flowers.
