Morbidity is against all oddity
   when lucidity is in its virginity*

*Could have written vicinity

She's an oddity
They say
But I don't care

I am who I am

I am creation
purity and urge

I am magic and fire
and heart and reason....

sealed cave oddity

                                settle to ascend the throne

                                      look for conjunction...

Don got the boot 
    for wearing a suit

  Recruiters said, 'Anything goes'
    so Don pierced his nose

  Now he's a hot commodity
    instead of an oddity...

A
jar now
mutely holds
washers and clamps,
nuts, bolts, screws, buttons, and the oddity.
It once held the dreams I dreamt and jangled
with hopes, desires
I’d saved, lost
in one
life....

In the little old town of Three Rivers
Lived a lady who grew long whiskers
Joined a circus did he/she
Was a oddity yessiree
Till someone attacked her with some scissors

If I said all I saw,
No one would believe me.
If I said all I felt,
No one would show empathy.

All I can do is live in awe;
Of how strong I have grown to be.
Hoping that someday,
I will thrive in this oddity....

My chicken has been flickin'
Her feathers in the hay
The cattle waged a battle
In their field the other day
A turkey feeling perky
Jumped up and ran away
Feeling daft, I laughed and laughed,
That's all I've got to say....

pact fusion hath brewed
welds cauldron spewed spit fiery
sparse talents biformed renowned
oddity affair
ardent youth pose statuesque
fragile innards touch grotesque
bursts end aggression
severs espousal rapport
guilt aspires realist soars...

The oddity of the truth
To shift through information
And false intelligence 
Delivered by men in suits
Paid lackeys reading from a cue
Semitic voices
Feeding the air way
With hatred
Compliant press repeat the untruth
Rill, we believe
Wax lilies in the pond is real...

The Beauty of Human's Thought
    Lies Not in Intelligence;
       Lies Not in Faith;
          Lies Not in Gene.


The Beauty of Human's Thought 
    Lies Only When They
       Fear, Aware, Curbed;
           A State Between Nothingness and Oddity.


Wake Up, Luqman!...

An angel's carpet dream
woven in the sky; amidst the clouds
a true utopian abode, a perfect oddity

Somewhere on the monochrome rainbow
little miss sunshine cry
failed to awe the morning blend

And the human, waits.
for the clarity of their mind,
a manifestation of eternal question...

I love  you from the curves
                 of your body,
                  to the recondite of
                   your soul,
                 and the minutiae
                 oddity
                 of your mind... !     
                 i love you
                 enthusiastically !...

Lukewarm loudmouth listless ludicrous Leland Lee
Made a merry mockery goading murderous Melody
Nefarious needlessness if you ask the likes of me
Offensive objectifying ornery oddball oddity.
Parlaying pretty pukey habits during the grand Prix
Quarrels started up about it all over our family....

I see you have a little squirrel monkey.
To have him for a pet seems like an oddity.
Right now, he is gawking at me,
With his noises, the primate shows hostility.
I just hope he will not bite me.
If he charges, and begins to attack,
I will literally have a monkey on my back.

Listen to poem:

The Elysian

Of a dawning in a brilliant twilight hoverance,
Skipping along an unmarked trail so unexpectedly,
Dared naught say out mumbled words offered without pure malice,
None receptive to my thoughts for a soulless oddity.

I want to see the pink sky
The one you rarely see
That good blend of white and red
Clouds, sun, and lighting scheme.
I want to see the pink sky
That glorious sight indeed
Sunsets are to be orange
But I love this oddity.
Our bond is like the pink sky
Bizarre as it may be
But in the eyes of beauty
Judgment is a rarity....

Exposed and bare,
stripped and stark-

a body without a soul is nude...
an unclad essence in the dark.

Unvarnished and unsettled,
raw and unprotected-

me without you- defenseless...
an overt still rejected.

Within my natural modesty,
I've found a reason to be prude-
a manifestation and oddity,
I'm more hidden in the nude.

Nawty There
How can I address you properly?
You can't take off my dress
You nawty child
You've gotten her pregnant!
Get out of this house now
He was pulling one off
And pulled a muscle
It was a power shaft
She always upsets him
Only coz she loves him
The concept of time
Meant nothing when fecking
They worked as pilots
For the Arkansass National Guard...

Listen to poem:

In mysterious oddity
This precious commodity..
Time.
It marches. It whistles it's way down the track.
It passes, it flies. 
We can never go back.
We can spend it and share it
Or selfishly hoard.
It's sand through our fingers..
Like glue when we're bored.
Time.
It's a God given gift..
At it's best when we share.
We can blow it and sow it
Like seeds in the air....

Once Upon several decades ago, I spied an octopus lamp.
My younger sister teased me out of it, calling it horrible names.
I have forever wished I had ignored her, for I am still looking.
These days the octopus lamp would be considered Steampunk.
Back then, it was a mere oddity, something novel, something I loved.
I so wish now I had ignored the teasing, for I have never seen it again....

Mr Curveball was a drifter visiting from left field 
Mr Curveball only stayed long enough to be a fleeting thought, 
a brain sneeze, his presence often indicated by frowns, 
robotic owls looking around, he was a head scratch, 
fingers on a chin, occasionally rubbing slowly
invisibly introduced as a spaghetti of oddity until he moved on
- a man dressed as a question dressed as a man undressed...
