Either Laying or Playing Than Portraying

Low for them Trump really was laying;
Usual around always would be playing;
Like a doll;
Does appall;
Likes to lie and from laws is straying.

Haiku Glass objects
I entered a poem Nov 29, 2010

Tones of sea urchins
Glisten in large glass sculptures
On umbrellas blue

Shades of jade caress
Swirling glass styles portraying
Regal floral views...

A poem to a poet
is like manner to his soul
portraying life, love and hate
magically to enthrall

many ways of expressing
the deep love within our hearts
Loudly crying in anger
when the pain of losing starts...

There is an acting coach in Battle Creek
Who taught his theatrical collie to speak
Now portraying King Lear
He’s Time’s Dog Of The Year
And stars in Lassie Call Home in a week

Overlays
Are the seeming
Maps and filters
Stories and concepts
Memories and expectations
Portraying and explaining
What's happening..
Overlays may
Seem to hide
Nothing at all
Appearing as 
Overlays......

Thoughts and perceptions 

Portraying everything

From oranges to quantum theory to

Esoteric spiritual experience..may 

Seem to fog the emptiness

Appearing as everything..yet

Thoughts and perceptions

And the fog are all empty...

A lullaby so intense
                              Sang by the humming birds
                                  in the morning's welcome
                            Rising the eyes of a lad,
                           Portraying the beginning of a new day...

Another Beiderbecke
Compact disc
Exacting feverous,
Gratifying harmonious
Idyllic Jazz.
Kings, Lords, make noble
Obeisance portraying
Qualifying
Ratifications.
Some, tendering
Unqualified verity, when
Exuberant youth
Zonked!

It's yourself you deny
By portraying a lie
If you fake your way
Through life each day
Your spirit, your soul
Will reach a black hole
That's when you'll know
How the power to grow
Is to trust your worth
Right from birth
Because being true
Is being you.

Who is she?
Who paints her beauty with words
Portraying all these vivacious colours of hers
On this canvas
Where her emotions are captured
And her true self I can only imagine
Her emotions, a cannon
That blows me away
In my mind she is a silhouette without a name
Hopefully it won’t stay this way...

Poets pen Personifications, Pantoums, plus Prose
 Providing prepositions, present participles prettily pose
 Patiently presenting parodies
 Portraying powerful persuasive possibilities
 Painting pictures poetically 
 Persistently pursuing perfect phrases
 Perfectly pleased postin poems

Humpty Dumpty never sat on the wall
This was how he fooled us all
He wore a large egg suit, begging for money
Portraying that he was sweet as honey
He put on an entertaining show
Until faking his demising blow
He did not know his shell would crack
And break his skull during the act
His plan backfired and, in the end,
Humpty Dumpty will never live again

heavy feet burdened loose temper 
engraved silver tongues borrowed
 
laughter portraying fascist beliefs 
fascist energy exploding over white
 
sheets, malice moves throughout 
the narrow streets of poor folks tears
 
sin bathing in the sweat of the brave 
while funding self serves are we really
 
forgiven if this cause pain morbidly 
challenged an yet so unchanged...

she's very talented with words,
the words she writes expresses emotions,
some poets find hard to write,

she feels the pain in some poems,
written in their darkest moments,

she's a seer,
she saw the images,
I was portraying in my poems,
she's a keeper,
a friend,
a poet to the end,

Why are some unable to see
What is right in front of their eyes
The manipulation and hypocrisy 
Blatant deceit and outright lies

The inauthenticity of a human soul
Pretending to be ,only to gain
Righteous and so pure of heart
Just playing a dishonest game

Empty words portraying kindness
Meaningless and untrue
Why are some unable to see
When an imposter is in clear view!...

I love Bougainvilleas
Mighty thorny showstoppers
Though be careful if you come in contact
As they will cut you good and proper!

A flower of such magnificence 
With a defiant mind of its own
Growing fast and wild
Uncontrollable left unattended and alone!

Miraculous colours abound
Pure nature personified
Occupies it’s space with perpetual colour
Portraying independence and pride!...

It’s time to hide your face my dear.
I’ve noticed that Van Gogh is here,
Employing his artistic skills,
Portraying all these daffodils.
He’ll probably include us too,
Thus compromising me and you.
If it’s hung in a gallery,
I’m fearful that my wife will see.
She thinks I’m at a seminar.
No reason to suspect so far.
So turn your back and walk away.
We’ll come back here another day

Art!
Repeater of dialogues 
In the past
With accurate information 
Telling the story of nations
The tickets of history 
Portraying the beauty of nature.

Art!!
The imagination 
Influencer 
Every painting 
Produce a muse 
Steadily giving  useful messages...

Art!!!
The soul and spirit 
Awakener 
Taking the mind
To realms of fantasy 
Creating ecstasy
Art is the heart healer....

It tickles me to hear you tweet,
Because behind closed doors, that's not how you speak,
I have to chuckle when I hear Your lines,
You can fool an entire crowd in your suit and tie,
Pulling words out from the dictionary, no one can understand,
Portraying yourself as a big bad intellectual man,
Dude, I love Your show! How hot is that?!!
Hold on! Wait a minute! Let me get my popcorn and snacks!...

NATURE                          

          Nature is fantastic flowing flora and fauna in fertility.
         Nature is materialistic mending measureless treasures in quality.
         Nature is artistic portraying passion and emotion in beauty.
         Nature is holistic holding super superb salient tranquility.
         Nature is majestic though mystic in versatile diversity.

As the sun, came glinting through the pines,
I hearkened, to euphonies, the wind was playing.
While eavesdropping, from within my confines, 
I pondered what message it might be conveying.

As I yawned, stretched and opened the blinds,
I returned to the thoughts previously weighing.
Now, my wall exhibited, Levolor sketched designs,
I hope that you’ve seen what I’ve tried portraying.
