Short Petitioned Poems

Having fissioned the mind 
To intercede the importunate
And petitioned wisdom inside 
Idle and dissipated 
As tremendous illusions 
pervades the soul
The unsurpassed revolt of 
capitulated distortions 
A percussion of thoughts
That solicits affectations of such...

Az Salome's dance
          front
         Herod
           she
With hern mitts up
        sinuous
   with seductive
      Hern firm
      Petitioned
         mine 


    I breathed in
         Deep

        Shook
 
         then 
       bid her

holy haunting
            a heavenly CHORUS

all called to mind

silent supplicating
             meditations aloud
             in thanksgiving

all called to mind

acclamations
             prayer petitioned
             in paralleled poetics

all called to mind

temple  tunes
            sanctuary songs
             in mellow melody

all called to mind...

The basis of all beauty is hope,
          It gives no cause to sadness...

     The Grace of beauty bathes the soul with purity,
          It never exists until petitioned by an open heart...

     Beauty gives life to poetry,
          We are as beautiful as we choose to be...

The dog barked a bit too much, too often
Oftentimes engendering a response from others
This annoyed the owners of the barking dogs.

A Bark arrest collar was employed as a solution.
When the house was broken into and robbed
There were questions as to why the dog did not bark
“Because we didn’t want him to wake the neighbor’s dogs.”
