This text is silly?
I think your mind is chilly...
Read between the lines,
It's less about making rhymes
Than it's shifting paradigms...

Risen from times tomb these colours in her eyes..
An autumnal equinox their love, of which she finds ?
Pan the forest a paragon paradigms; as such splendour....

A lim’rick I’d like to compose.
Why bother with tedious prose?
I know all my rhymes,
the genre’s paradigms.
The topic is good: here it goes....

i knew i had crossed the final bridge
when i stopped grieving what i had lost
and started treasuring what i'd been given

we are batteries...
nothing but chemical soup...
generating dreams...

holograms of what...
this and that...these and those...just...
words appearances...

serving a purpose...
but infectious to...context...

I-phones have changed our paradigms
People no longer
Have to talk to each other
Or
Need to form relationships with human beings.
Evolving into an electronic virtual culture,
Suddenly we live in a surreal, imitation world, and we are avatars, not humans....

Through the atypicalities of due process
I wrench my ever-rusted ribcage off it's
Hinges-

Sunlit paradigms,
Dust crusted smiles;

A gaping canyon, I cast toward you
A lightless cavity,
A nothing-prison of brittled bones
Which, caked with dried blood from when
My Heart imploded,

Roll and click against eachother like marbles
In the wicked mouth of fiction...

extended experience of
profound awakenings
order and clarity
in the garden of your beings
did you sing for the withering
flowers or the blossoming buds
enlightened new paradigms
tremulous shadows
do you sing for her pleading eyes
or desolate tormented soul
or the wounded hearts
writhing in the slavery
of their thoughts

Angels ascending this mountains highest peak times plateau..
In my mind as gazing about then peering deeply; penetrating
These its panoramic views trying to grasp something tangible
Within their portrayed as painted vistas; worthy as to be held
Yet my eyes open could find nothing amid her waning mirage
This paradigms pot and gold his planet, of dust made dreams....

Listen to poem:

Paradigms Temporality 
David J Walker

There is no question 
That the evening 
seemed to come 
to an end 
too soon

The temporality of 
your days 
The glow of 
a full moon 
On the rise  

bright are the stars 
beaconing’s
as if distant skies 
were attainable reckonings  
wearing nothing  
but our own 
flesh & bone 

the paradigms new 
	Grew 
From the old...

Galleons, uncharted oceans,
honest merchantmen take heed,
hijacked by the vile and shameless,
paradigms of pirate greed.

Storied legends blaze through ages,
rape and pillage mark the sway 
of buccaneers hell bent on mayhem,
cannons blast in fierce array.

Without compassion for a compass,
murderously resolute,
they take no prisoners, show no mercy,
sack the sea lanes, dissolute....

tell listeners such hidden nuance each hour rains sacrament tones sound
deepest thoughts silence ever reigns sweet

Misery
Written: by Tom Wright
8-16-2016

When affairs of life aren’t going right,
 I try to reminisce about the good times.
Past lingering notions of feeling contrite,
To rest in my psychological paradigms.

But pages once turned I cannot abridge,
For no more will they pass my way again;
Seems I’m left to surmount a moving ridge,
With thoughts that I’m unable to constrain;

barkers hawk
shifting paradigms
change is good
and I've got a pocket full
drop a token
in the slot
and get
all the advice
any clown
made of nuts and bolts
can offer
a calliope jangles
the unsaid
a cacophony of slights
left with a sickly slick
(candy apple on a stick)
swirl and whirl
gone crazy
just another ride
just another chance
at the desperation 
and acceptance 
of the soul carnival...

Paradise of beautiful thoughts via heart
Ornamented with pure and serene art
Enlightening postings on varied themes
Teaching various paradigms supreme!
Intellectual writers love to spend days
Creations of delight coined in selfless ways 
Sharing of common passion gets rear    
Offers new chance to entrants in its sphere
Umbrella for world wide authors in one group
Long live the heaven with name Poetry Soup!...

the distant sound
is menacing
trickled down
 the worm hole
hardest part
remembering
the purple
in a circle

smoke in the light
my malty drink
has flattened
i felt great
yet blurry
as the night
had happened

 sunset and a sunrise
paradigms are shifting
i can feel quite blissful
i smoke and drink
no sniffing

ready set
enjoy yourself
drink for the pain
cheers to good health
may i always dance in rain...
