Dance with me darling
like the periodic waves
and end with passion....

don’t walk on tin ice
                 beware of ironing boards
                        silence is golden...

Writing "I love you" in the sand suggests that love is meant to fade;
That it can be washed away by life's periodic tides.
I suggest we write our love in stone, always carving it deeper....

Trump Health Checkup Periodic

Trump health checkup became periodic,
And are sure and certain he is psychotic;
Is always afraid, 
Of queen a spade;
Started a new drink called Trump tonic.

Let science captivate you 
Just nourish your mind 
Whether if it is physics or chemistry 
Be the one who enshrines 
The elements of the periodic table 
Along with the electrostatic force 
Will assist you a great deal 
Just stay on course...

Dmitri Mendeleev of Russian descent
Designed a table for each element
Periodic symbols he inserted for flavour
Was his a chemical or human behaviour?

Hi everyone. Just a note to say I have not commented on your poems because of s set back and  in the hospital.  I thought I would be around on the weekend...but still here.  It will be periodic entries or comments from me for now. But I look forward to my full return. I hope all is well. Thank you

Gracious sun-lit falls
reveal nature’s peaceful calls
like polished opals.

Keen river currents
in periodic movement,
like soap detergent

lead gravity’s fists.
Pathways hidden in steamed-mist.
Treasure found at tryst.
  
Now beauty, I gaze
Through the subtle sparkling phase, 
Let leaves, shed their rays....

Although an angle in radians
seems a trivial quantity
compared to its degree equivalent,
it exceeds degrees in its elegance.

A tolerant, uncomplaining denominator
gracefully balances a weightless platform
on its invisible head,
while two abstract concrete pillars
point to the critical points
of a single cycle of a periodic function....

A  periodic flicker of light,
Between which are cold metal,
The urge to look away, i fight,
Catching every glimpse i get,
For the possibility of might.
I could jump over it,
But  I have fear of the height,
Just the thought of it,
Sends  me into fight or flight,
I wait for it to pass
And i was right.
   You were there,
  on the other side of the tracks....

(Q)uiet morning
(U)nwraps the day
(I)nspiration simmers below the surface
(E)ncouraged by a periodic bird song
(T)o contribute something to say

(M)orning is a beginning
(O)ffering a trime to start fresh
(R))eigniting things to enjoy
(N)ever ignore desires
(I)nviting the best within
(N)ight is behind and beyond
(G)rasp this day for all its worth

The son of Helios He was the noble Helium
                       But He was an elemental slug fond of Valium
                                All said He was not at all noble
                                   He was basically Ignoble-
                         Anomalous wetting of Helium on Caesium

Helium Lithium, Beryllium
They all rhyme,
which is the only way I can remember them.
Au is gold,
O is oxygen,
I’m not trying to be bold,
but life sucks without both of them.
Nitrogen, hydrogen
are both gases,
but that doesn’t mean they have the same masses.
Those are some of the elements in the periodic table that I find important.
I really don’t know much about the rest,
because in science class I never passed those test...

When true love augment its speed in the marathon, 
hate takes refuge into a catacomb. 
Quote by poet

A person with love epic 
Which is not lunatic, 
polemic , problematic 
and choleric.
It is sophistic and dogmatic in someone's 
mystic eyes
But he calls it "classic."

A person with love epic
Which is not hectic, 
periodic , myopic 
and atopic.
It is genetic and folkloric in someone's
mystic eyes 
But she calls it "medic."...

MY LITTLE UNIVERSE—LEXI'S PERSONAL PLANET (Visual 1)

Penned in a poetry permissive as a
periwinkle
painting palette’s passive paths to
pain

Petty philosophy added to phobias
perils
perishing peace in selfish pedantic
prose

Passing parodies of passion on paper
permeate
pacifying periodic paralysis, a paltry
pardon

Phoney photoflashes, the profound
performance
persist perfectly profound on my personal
planet

optimistic turtle decides to take the plunge
he pushes off Gardner's Island with hope in his heart
he rides choppy waters for hours
heading toward the far-away lighthouse
knowing there is some sort of refuge there
he takes periodic breaks, floating easily on top of the waves
unconcerned, with resolve that he will not only survive but thrive
his optimism fills the ocean with hope
even the sharks feel it, and they respond
secretly rooting for him to make it...
