Old Man Bianco his vocal voice
stripped of all it’s octave choice
creaked and crowed in age and vice
“Liquor, tobacco, you pay the price!”

Premium Member Oasis

Oasis, gem of dune
Outshines dreary desert.
Obscure mirage lost in 
Opulent tranquil trove,
Opens vista of vibe.
Octave of breeze pulsates	
On opalescent lake.

Change Upon Us

The Piscean Age, at it's close,
Will overlapp, doubling the frequency,
..... as an Octave interval.
When this happens, a new Keynote is struck,
Then the beginning of a new World Age.

Premium Member Upon An Infinite Flight

When the morning lark has honed its  silver chirp,
a dream-like canvass floats into a higher octave,
setting passages alight with sun filled prospect as eternity dissolves its outer limbs.

Deaf Husband

I'm just about deaf because of me wife,
Her very loud voice has caused all the strife,
It always goes up an octave or two
When she thinks I've made an incredible blue,
Trouble is I've been making mistakes all of me life.

Kite - An Octave of All Spondees

Go high my kite so right.
Seek thy sky flight, flow free.
Make thy way, find breeze light.
Take hold, wee prize, we see.
Tied tail needs airspace height.
Make sleek line tight, jolt me.
Please find wayout, gain space.
Show Lane they windswept grace.

Big Ben - Hymnal Octave

The tower’s high with striking chime
its clangor resonates.
With face of time now widely seen

Its dial white looks free of grime

Loud presence yea with polished sheen
our day it regulates

A taste for whispered eloquence,
I’m mesmerized by your reply. 
One octave above the silence 
a taste for whispered eloquence.
Such sensual self indulgence,
to inhale the words that you cry.
A taste for whispered eloquence,
I’m mesmerized by your reply.

Premium Member A Gypsy Dance

billowing skirt whirls on air
wild and chase, that’s gypsy flair 

belly moves like ocean wave
in the rhythm of each octave

swirls and sways with bouncing feet
synchronizes with every season’s hit

night and day never quits
flowing recklessly in her own beat

Misshapen

Every time you think you need to fill your mind's eye. 
The astigmatisms are misshapen and left follows right. 
A octave a slightly askewed. 
A sharp is high and rude. 
Fortune fountains explode empty then die, 
Subconscience that's conscience and both Darkness and in Light.

An Octave of Reality

I find everyone riding the acme of jubilance,
but weeping at their inflated gloominess
Thy lords have created everything,
yet every pneuma is suffering
If you watch closely,
there is so much satire in this tiny sphere,
Every leaf that breathes,
hides an ache deep underneath.

Premium Member Here now this morn

Body vessel is like an empty drum,
bliss pressure felt equally everywhere,
where all nodes simultaneously strum,
vibrations of earth, water, fire and air
and at each octave presence is aware,
though in truth lower mind cannot locate,
source that teleports us to heaven’s gate.

Premium Member Zen mode

eye single in life pulse dual
propelled by love as heart’s fuel
poised in the void, vibrant, aglow
crown of bliss is our soul’s jewel

staid cessation makes thought flow slow
there are no debts of love we owe
at the octave of compassion
our childlike heart is pure like snow

Hers

Thread of love,
in each vibrato,
whispers.
A melancholy,
that disperse,
the colors,
of hers.

String of love,
in each octave,
played.
A monochrome,
that displayed,
the hues,
of hers.

Knot of love,
in each tempo,
echoes.
A melody,
that reels,
the feels,
of hers.

Premium Member STRAND POETIC REVIEW sep 7

To Elizbeth Barrett Browning
invalidity from riding did bring
Putting aside this tragic hurt
she elope to marry her Robert
Her Petrachan sonnet we see
an abba abba then cdecde
A sestet follows the octave
a love poesy we all crave

twin souls was her song
heart to heart,all the day long

Premium Member Creator Of Sound Ballet


The stillness of concert hall
vibrates with the sound of sonata,
the caressed ebony and ivory keys
unfold a tale of passion.

His ballerina fingers create
the ballet of sound,
melodic lilt dances 
with the rhythm of hearts.

The last octave silent,
he listens resonate 
in emotive ether eloquent…

Concentration

Thoughts, observance, awareness, meditation
Tis' ultimate power of concentration 
Hence! Still the mind and focalize
Hear the subtle serenade harmonize
All O' sudden, bang, burst, blast!
Firing through ye' full o' thought brain re·cast
Pulsating deep, bear'ng the design
Of God's heavenly collective mind shine
Form: Couplet

Premium Member In All Innocence

Children in the schoolyard pierce the sky with vital cheer.
Their joyful octave shouting wrecks the register.
Vernal offspring sounds wing and zoom like morning moths,
over Eiffel Tower challenges ahead.
Let us celebrate these golden moments short-lived though they are, as they cannot be recaptured once they're gone!

European Holiday

octave of forty words

Forty years - man and wife
long time friends celebrate life
on holiday, pure pleasure bound
four couples, eight countries found.
City ruins, castles, churches, canals,
lots of leisure, legendary locales,
river bends and mountain peaks,
whirlwind journey, two short weeks.

Sparkling 'N Dazzling In Da' Freeze

So colorful amongst the gods of air
Enchanting breathness above the timber lair
Rise and Shine! The scene awakening in da' freeze
Colorful and flying above the trees
They dispel florescent claws on ice shine day
Greet the day! And fly away
The feathers, wings, beaks, will come again
Sparkling 'n dazzling in da' freeze, Amen!
Form: Couplet

Choked

Gone are the days of her anthem 
Raw notes of emotion exposed
Feeling flat and the audience sharp
Missing one octave after another
Drenched in fear of rejection
Vulnerability stifled in perfection
Strangled at the mere peep of her unique voice
Spotlights amplify the performance
Lights, action, cut
Silence protects the broken
