In the depths of the hollows
The prominent eye watches
It sees what goes on around
Knows the hearts of man

But that one is white and that one is mixed
Skin color prominent in her head
Always remarking on it; her mind fixed...

The hours of insanity amaze me,
They tantalize my mind, taunting me, 
Vibrant and violent is my mind,
Warped and no longer prominent,
My  soul aches for a better day....

The darkness was prominent
Hope only peeked in and out
The synapses were not responding
My mind was in a drought
Then the rains came
The land was quenched
And brought hope about...

A living, breathing source of
Love-flamy light.
For what does each, in the heart
Stir up at night.

Though down in roads' sea-rolled view
Drunken, fogged most
Peninsula-prominent.
Safe helmsman boast....

Let everyone be aware
of this prominent truth :
There is no eternal death,
no one dies forever!
If the body deteriorates,
the flesh of the spirit
it doesn't even putrefy in ground dust,
neither with time!...

The tree
balancing the 
branches and fruits 
so alluringly 
You are in 
tremendous glee 
no wrinkles anywhere 
dimples so prominent
those jingling ankles 
I will wait for gondolas 
under the stars
tonight...

Prominent figures,

Are they on vacation????

The way of the world,
leaves me puzzled,
confused....

God can’t change, but

School is in session, and we are all spiffed with shine.
Our hair is slicked back, we are scooting in free and fine.
Laughter is prominent as we see our school friends once again.
By two-thirty we are clock-watching, will this day ever end?...

The square head and bossing frontals,
The flat occiput and prominent parietals,
Open fontanellae and sweating fore head,
Present on the chest rosary beaded.
The lower chest sulcussed and sternum depressed,
The legs are bowed and the tummy protruded....

Sweet song of humanity, play on

apparently, we still ain't gone

global catastrophe seems eminent

yet bars and parties are still prominent

a question of when, not if

that's what the epidemiologist insists

the bees have died

the brokers cried

but we play on...

Freckled hands
Prominent blue veins
Lucky wrist bracelets
Swollen finger.
Spider bite scar.
Stubby fingernails.
Birthmark.
Holding
Clapping
Plucking.
Wrapping.
Painting.
Cooking.
Lifting.
Shaking.
Perpetually busy.
Prominent blue veins
Freckled hands...

Noble, regal tasseled turkey
prominent, pendulous wattle,
garb of iridescent feathers,
and bright red dangly snood.
Your stately gait pleases my eye
and your beloved, peculiar gobble
sends particular pleasure to my ear
May you forever strut your stuff(ing)!...

I never came across the man
Who has more charms, more prominent charisma…

And every morning when I shave
Looks back at me with admiration…

He also modest to the fault
Extreme good looks would never hurt…

He also smart… I have to thank
All those mirrors in my bathroom!!!...

George Aul


Early in the year, birds chirp a song
to the couples who show us love,
the sweet kiss of desire
is prominent in Spring;
the touching of lips
in Earthly time
reminds us
of truth -
love.



For "Nonet Me A Spring Kiss" contest sponsored by Michael J. Falotico....

Prominent and Dominant

Plans exits that are prominent
Central in mind did become dominant
Found them to be enchanting
Several more seeds were planting
Demands to be planted were eminent.

Jim Horn

They just keep on flowing. Hard to take
my eyes off of the TV. How about you?...

The truth is out there, a prominent decree 
Choosing not to see it is cruel
Turn your blind eye, deny reality
Then you have been branded a fool
Do what you will, do what you must
While preparing for interrogation
I’m not the law, I’m not the judge
Who after life decides segregation...

Hope acquired and wedded to 
Action will always
Play a crucial and
Prominent role in attaining
Your goals 

Nurturing solid plans
Endorses strong personal
Will and determination 

Yielding favorably

Affirmative

To get to this  degree
I worked harder don’t you agree 
Young enthusiastic and free
Ill surely blossom on the family tree
The motto is keep moving forward 
So don’t surround yourself with a coward 
At the moment I have no comment 
About my opponent 
I rather ignore them and be prominent...
