Short Peculiarities Poems

Joys of married life outweigh minor discrepancies
Such as throwing pots and pans or other irregularities
Must turn a blind eye
As harmful stuff flies by
It all part of the charm, ignore the unavoidable peculiarities...

The joys of married life far outweigh any minor discrepancies
Such as throwing pots and pans or other minor irregularities
Must turn a blind eye
As dangerous stuff flies by
It all part of the charm, ignore the unavoidable peculiarities...

People in my circle,
Same interest,
Common goal,
The heart's Venn diagram,
Uniting us,
Differentiating us,
In one huge plane,
The boundaries set by nature,
Its beauty is enhanced by the variety,
Rings and shapes intertwined,
They intersect to show us,
A people crafted with peculiarities,
A people with disparate dispositions.

the way you walk, and talk 
is at the mercy of tides and shifting dunes

the foibles,
the characteristically odd ways 
of your individual life
its mannerisms and behavioral peculiarities

will fall away by and by 

and what will be left
is this perfect alien species
formed by your every dazzle and daze

a translucency
all shall recognize as themselves...

edgar alien poe
studied a ravens
cry of 'nevermore'

now

i'm left to ponder
the mouse that ate the bait
on a set trap while i watched

and

the radio played lennon's 'imagine'
after which the mouse walked away
to the tune of 'we never knew each other anyway'

so

i'll set the trap again later
and wait to be witness
to fates peculiarities

A wrestling River
has run its cause
A quick recce
and all is sorted
Be not a Miner or mariner
for promises they cannot meet

The spite of the bitter leaves
up to the knee 
With a scheming
and storm in a teacup
I was thinking too fast
With a sinking of peculiarities underscored
Jacob has drawn my blood
but with a wink and a guile
perhaps we can grin
après moi le deluge

Beautiful shapes to look at
(that’s the Greek etymology)
cylinder of imagination,
childhood companion,
hours spent squinting and twisting,
magical mystery machine,
a carousel for the eyes,
never the same pattern twice,
akin to snowflakes or human faces.
If the world were a kaleidoscope,
I’d twist it round and round
discerning the beautiful facades
of places, people and peculiarities,
a prismatic eye-feast
restoring hope in humanity’s future.
