     with one’s eyes shut watertight?

Art in the round he did opine
so disliking the straight line...

That “keep it simple, stupid” line
Is wise advice, we must opine.
What’s more, some poems make us snort,
It could read, “keep it simply short.”...

Albert Einstein
did like to brashly on physics opine
but when told he could be so insensitive
he said, who cares, everything is relative

I am so grateful that you read me and opine
On unique thoughts and ideas I claim mine
But I must be honest and humbly confess
I often lift your ideas to concoct this mess.

5. Bear Truth

I know that I am real
Because Sir, what I feel,
“SEEMS MORE THAN ME! DIVINE?”
“AND GIFT,” I must opine!
For what man can erase
The stain of time and space?
Let others jive and jam –
GOD Speaks, and lo, I AM!...

The delicious scent on Poetry Soup
drags the hungry to the bowl's ingredients.
An invite is made to take a scoop,
and savor, oh recipients.
Opine the gusto, poetic group,
then comment on the formula's colour, flavour, and nutrients....

If to our views, you don't align;
You'll forfeit your right to post and opine.

When with your ideas, we do agree;
We grant you the right to speak free.

Should your thinking be different we find,
You must shut up till you get back in line....

Nought, zero, nix, blank
Out of information
To impart with no
Heroics to present
Idolized in prose.
Nubilous words flounder
Growing into a mishmash of

Total nothingness.
Opine this silly

Sentiment anyway
As if
You'all are even listening....

On the mundane meatloaf I must opine

   'Tis an all time favorite grub o' mine

      With smashed pertaters

         And fresh termaters

            Topped off with a two dollar jug o' wine

 The verve to serve 
those we opine deserve,
surely compassion selective
though touch of love is effective 
healing those who before us appear
but perhaps we should consider
that identity is not the doer
we are but God’s channel
who He does empanel ...

Feigned cusps of nothingness,
brass knobs holding the fireside,
life's amazement,
like an infant's emotion.
We should be confined to ourselves
too many others opine,
life becomes complicated enough,
shake the air that moment,
ditch the weathervanes,
learn to float....

Personal poignant passages pure
 Odes, oddities, and opinions to opine
   Essence of everyday evolution evokes
    Truth and tales trumpeted to transcend 
      Repetition, rhyme; recollections revealed
        Yammering and yearning till yarns are yielded

We Create…...

Once to love, much to tears; denotes the journey
Throughout the years; to find the space, the 
Special time, mankind pursues with plans designed
Unsure is oft.' there are ways and falls, spurning the proffered
Doubting all.' In passing thought I cast opine 
Let chance into play, ere the curtains fall..'...

Bitter winter.

Thief of warm pleasure.

Looming forever...and a cozy day.

No... Please stay!

At least until you've had your say.

In your own frigid way.

Carried in shades of slate.

Against arid blue skyline.

This must be where love hides.

Until the spring thaw for which we opine.

Prejudice, what a great saver of time!
Quicker to opine, facts not worth a dime,
The sheep in lead decides,
And all of the throng glides,
Reason nor rhyme, nor ever the right clime.
Why sea water would fool,
Though salty, feel so cool,
Why sour social media look a sweet lime.

Snow began to fall
Come dusk lovely tangos
Wind and flake

Silent wisps growing bold
Wicked, relentless
Hinting winter’s random temper

Silver frosted morning
White landscape
Reflecting purple painted sky

Breath taking dazzling
Lifting me to heights
I’d never approached

But as Newton would opine
What goes skyward
Must surely crash...

Thick clouds of unanswered questions 
eclipse the clear light thought to be seen.
Bewildered by election commentary again,
our ears quit as media opine.
Hearers' lack of response yields understanding,
'twas a vacant struggle just to be heard.
Hardened clay won't remold without action.
Such a war of words ends with mere tolerance.

Morality discerning right from wrong
That there be order, society, strong

Cultures diverse, opine divergently 
Head over heart, debating speciously

Oh hermit, choose love unconditional
Outpouring from the heart; Gods miracle

Recognising singular consciousness 
Each being then vibrant in blissfulness

we may be somewhat immune
to the seeming randomness of fate
but near and dear ones opine otherwise
so do their emotes cause our heart to agitate

if we remain nonchalant which in truth we are
indifferent is deemed to be our attitude
whilst if we pretend to collaborate
it’s but an insincere platitude

such are unsolvable dilemmas we face every day
who’s the wise guy who said earth life is mere play...

I came, I saw ...


In Bar
From far

I look
She took

My heart
Apart

The bling
A ring

Married
Buried

The thought
I fought

In trance
No chance

Not mine
Opine

Sad pup
Gave up

Still think
Of link

Again
In pain

No cheat
We meet

A wink
One drink

No more
I swore

Cut loose
She use

Gave in 
Her win

Elate
We mate

The cost
I lost

……………… she conquered...

Can you speak to the masses
will your words cross the line
From youngest to oldest
will listeners opine

How many octaves
can sing out your tune
Is it seasonal only
or July until June

Is time to speak kindly
of what you espouse
Or pile like kindling
as scraps from a house

The listeners are out there
awaiting your call
Their ears to the ground
—will you bend to enthrall

(The New Room: June, 2022)...

Do not go right now, the night yet to come;
Many things to be shared, I have to say.
Will you not listen to my guitar strum?
See evening wind mildly blows, do not go;
Let me look at you once, before I play;
Yet to hear song, tell me how does it flow?
When the stars will shine, I'll share my lyrics.
Look from full moon how clouds drifted away;
First you hear, opine before my critics.

Tom
Written: by Miracle Man

Never one showing reluctance to opine,
with sign carrying groups he wouldn’t align.
His spoken position most all understood,
and what he proclaimed was never a falsehood.

He was never one to keep his feelings canned,
and refused to dance at another’s command.
Never obsessed or having the slightest qualm,
he’s the same man today and his name is Tom.

Happiest are we all with you to opine,
More than anyone Oh madam Divine;
H2O, water, liquid, ice or formula fine
All you taught us lovingly in class nine.
Without you it was never so fine
As your hands were there for every sign.
You were an angel, supporting vine.
We will miss you a lot in near dateline.
Leaving you to go on is not so fine; 
Still life goes on; so do always shine
In our mind – expect of students and mine....
