the caterpillar celebrates 
when transformed as a butterfly
questioning not the happenstance 
heart aglow it begins to fly

Mirror

Un sweet reflections fueled by
modest outside perceptions.

Sights made up vain.
Questioning who you see
on the wall, 
in a frame.

POSITIVE THINKING POETRIX





               Usury and surplus value,
                barbarity and treachery
          do not adorn with love and poetry....

passionately ambivalent

ever now
dreaming thoughts
stopped start
selfish caring

Premium Member Canine Conundrum

He looks at me
A deepness in his eyes
Questioning
“who’s ball is this?”
“and why do I keep bringing it back?”

in awe
shaken
in total disbelief
i’m left
questioning myself
can i ever know
what’s inside
a person’s 
head or heart

Premium Member Morning Reflection

Behind the holes of a Rip Van Winkle mask,
questioning eyes peer through to ask, 
"Nobody knows me here, not even you.
Where is the world that I once knew?"

Premium Member todays observation

something is using a questioning call
bird of some type, maybe big, maybe small
It sounds like a plea, wanting an answer
squirrel hops by, using steps of a dancer

Premium Member Why That Way

Questioning the way God made the world is like an illiterate criticizing Einstein's theory of Relativity

Premium Member Belief Becomes the Storm

A bee drags through glass—
          soundless, just the pane
tearing, like a caul.
Belief becomes the thorn.
I asked Him once. He turned His back.
The leaves fell —

Anxious Pain

Rise above all judgements
The questioning mind
Rides on a bullet of pride

There's no denying 
The anxious pain to let it slide
When you absolutely know
The joy that lies inside

Battle Cry

We stand alone in the blackest night,
Awaiting the battle cry;
Lost and alone in this bloody fight
Never questioning or wondering why;
As I send a silent prayer to the sky...

Criticism

criticized by wise
     it's totally flattering
      is stimulating ...

     

          
       but by ignorant,
      is execration cursing,
       is crucifixion ...

So Help Me God

Religion has too many givens,
the takeaways few, far between

Questioning ravaged, intelligence savaged
—the mind left to wander and dream

A TRIBUTE FOUND POEM IN 5 PARTS
INSPIRED BY PHRASES FROM LEAVES OF GRASS
Part 4
your questioning
out of the glance
      of the eye
what I tell you
  .....is so
here and now
Form: Verse

Jealousy

My dog lays 
snoaring loud 
          dreaming of bones
and tug of war.
and his snout out the window 

I lay awake
questioning and 
holding in a 
piss.

Killing myself


with a cigarette.

Mundane

mundane 
dull  
ordinary 
mind numbing 
retinue 
encounters 
became the
name of the game
constantly questioning 
what has it became 
became the norm 
within the subconscious mind

Questioning Questions

'Questioning Questions'

You asked me to speak,
and then, complained as I spoke.
You ask me, What's wrong?
So, I answer with silence.
Is silence, not, the right answer?

Paula persnickety poppycock provided proof
Questioning quarrelsome quick-witted quail
Responsible radicals reacted, reminding raised roof
Shopworn shortbread shakes shifty ships and shale

Ailing baby cats die exacting fear grief having inevitably just killed loving mothers not
only plainly questioning reasons some things understanding vile wrong-doing xanax yields
zealousness.

Complexity To Simplicity

From Complexity to Simplicity

after questioning
I began philosophising
knowing my aim of analysing
a need of interpreting
of clarifying.

Now I know but not yet...

Yesterday Yes, Today Not

When they killed in the name of God
was it fanaticism or semantics?
The dead, dead stayed ...
Those who lived, lived for
Save lives?
Semantics or fanaticism ...!?
Yes yesterday, today not ?
