Voice of the Ancestors

these branches and roots

should be free from man’s swords!
both oracle and priest held for days …

Oracle of the High-Five Justices

Buy your full-body burka now 
Made in Texas to fit a cow
The colour is black
It fits like a sack
So you'll feel as free as a sow!
Form: Limerick

Seek and Ye Shall Find

Oracle, Arizona gold
Is just a tale prospectors told
If you walk that land
You will find quicksand
And underneath that its just cold

Life Is a Race of Obstacles

The life is
an thrilling racing of
obstacles...
the heart is
who guides us
in this show,
the poetry unravels
the tentacles, when
poet transforms living
his oracle...!

Golden Letters Short

Is the Oracle wise
the Buddha fat
or the Great
Niagara wet
Description wanes
where titan’s reign
as words are left
to falter
And blow upwind
against the grain
in messages
— sublime

(The New Room: December, 2024)

The Great Parisian Model

to a sweet navel of glutinous oracle
sticks the fairytale makeup
because the model caressed the tree
since the model recognizes the apple
as the model eats the grass
a carrot from Hollywood paradise
a green salad with organic smelly

On the Verge of April

The twigs of March drip,
and dangle ~ late in the day,
birdsong returns
as if from the dead.
New veins leach in the leaf
sap-sweet offerings.
Earth worms curl in oracle rings,
rise up from the mud,
and nurse the wet soil
as it gives birth.

Oracle

I stand before the oracle
as the oracle sits before me
giving me a tiny clue unto my destiny
but her answer to my questions
is ambiguous and obscure
yet I wonder how I didn't see it there before

The Verge of April

The twigs of March drip, and dangle ~ late in the day birdsong returns as if from the dead. New veins leach in the leaf sap-sweet offerings. Earth worms form oracle rings; rise up from the mud, nurse the wet soil as it gives birth.

Garbage

An orange and tan 
orangutan
with origins
that span
to Pakistan
orates flimflam
o'er an ornate
garbage can
ordained an oracle
by an ordered clan
to plant a plan
for their ordure
that ornaments
said garbage can
the ornery orangutan orotundly
upon does scan

Senses feel sweet springtime festival
Rapture knows joy sentimental
Cheer opts deep dance oracle
Surge of urge in fond sights
Know the truth that lights
Flash of fine flights
Style mood swings
Jazz flings
Spring

Premium Member Orare Now

lest i be nearer to my death 
i could love you no less
as my wild eyes dance
gazing under 
the swaying willows
apon my pillows 
i would beckon 
tommorrow tommorrow
only within the mere sorrows
that i shall wander amids 
heaven's oracle mist
why in my presence now

Oracle

The heron is the color
of a November morning.
Fog wets the river rocks.
Fossils faintly echo
a grey past.
I shall take one stone 
home,
to look
through its waterworn hole
and perhaps 
see
the future.

Premium Member Pythia Could Not Hear Cassandra's Groom

Cassandra’s groom was calling to her, but she did not hear him
She had entered a natural trance when she entered the grotto
She was now Pythia, high priestess of the Temple of Apollo
The most powerful oracle among the ancient Greeks
Gleaning her directions from all knowing cool waters

Premium Member Animal Oracle:

May the wisdom of the serpent be thine, For it is closest to earth, Representing healing. May the wisdom or the raven be thine, For its initiation Into the Druid clan. May the wisdom of the eagle be thine, Bird of the oak and the Sun, Renewal and courage. /|\

Ashen Prophecy

Legend has foretold, 
The hazy illumination...of a silver harvest-moon,
Shall give rise...to the sprouting of the chosen one.

Harvested in a magical field,
In an enchanted hollow:
The breeze whispers the eerie oracle of the witch. 

And within its pallid body,
Dwells the seeds of everlasting life.

Fear

MR.F
Coerce and seductive is he
Dread like the comb and bee
It tears one who admires
Who can say it is required

Crave not to see it calculated
Else it gets you frustrated
Don’t with it be on table
Cos like water you become unstable

Who are you? Fear!
Oracle of tears-fear
He ask whom shall I chastise
O! Don’t be prize

Premium Member Oracle Whispers

Oracle please tell
me, (free of charge) about the
future that will be.

Show me the bright secrets
of love - be a mystic guide
for my bored heart’s relief.

What kisses may be played
on sweet, future nights with no
tentative whispers please.

Help me conquer the
confusing compresence of
desire and unease.
Form: Senryu

Tokens In Exile

Seconds hunger
 days unweaned
compression fracture
broken dreams

Minutes uncounted
hours unnamed
 Humptiest Dumpty
in pieces again

Yahweh once spoken
reason besieged
tokens in exile
pagans to grieve

One for the money
two when it’s shown
oracle harlot
—cursed and dethroned

Premium Member Opium Oracle

ominous skies of gloom
orbit through my head
obsessive while oblivious
ornery dragons and 
offspring hovering
o’er lofty castles 
obtusely perched in
opulent misty glens
of opportunistic prophecy

The Pumpkin Shell

cast her tonight
and there he kept her very well

alone

in her flat and tight
pumpkin
shell
siren to
men
siren to women
it is not so bad said the oracle
i can survive
this
compact,
man-made
prison cell
and
when i release
my headed snakes
the walls will fall
and they will hear music
as i glide
into the night
