As 
A storm 
Spiral eye
Is the obsessed
Love for the affection recipient

what a glorious Indonesian delight
fragrant dainty ephemeral beauty
she brings her recipient serenity and joy
remembering her first bouquet when she was twelve
eighty years ago; she deeply sighs....

Throughout our lives we sometimes blunder
We assume our writings are received with humor
A failure to understand
The reaction is unplanned
The recipient recoils at the humor off-color...

Snow mice check out the caged bird so black
We never told them but they heard the venter’s hack
Came out of the top hat like curriers in a big hurry.
The eyes of the recipient watched those rodents scurry!...

Swirly dress of turquoise waves flipped up water edges
Showing off ocean’s prettiest, frothiest, fanciest lacy petticoat
Appreciated by beach, who felt honored and appreciated
Loving that he was the lone recipient of such beauty this morning...

There’s a fairy going round who does hair transplants in the night
She does them while your sleeping so you wake with quite a fright
I have no gripe with transplants so don’t think that I’m a moaner
But could I be recipient… and not the bloody doner!...

Gratitude
Miracle Man

“Paying it forward” cultivates euphoric feelings,
so if you like your gift’s matched, give it a try!
Donor and recipient, are blessed by these dealings,
gratitude, leaves both on a temporary high.

If there is anything prettier than Scottish sea glass
I have yet to see it;

It reminds me of the beauty of the ocean,
It has a gorgeousness that shows up most other things

I choose my pieces carefully and build a mobile,
knowing the recipient will be uplifted by her wonderfulness....

COMPLIMENTS


A compliment can change the way,
The recipient will spend their day.
Lifting moods in times of need,
A pay it forward type of seed.
To criticize and pick apart,
It's damaging to one's heart.
So make an effort to be kind,
You never know what friends you'll find!!!

The recipient
Weathered expectations 
The heaviness was unable to hold.
I fell. Not on purpose.
I was new to this too.
My warmth was a mystery.
You saw me crumble.
I never meant to be apart of so much damage.
I slipped.
The adrenaline was enticing.
All power lost. 
Never trust 
Texas weather...

The staff of power
Radiating a bliss shower
Rapturises our form
With purring currents warm
Whilst we as a recipient
Partake of joy in excitement 
Each nuance within new
As it’s ignition renews
No flaw we may detect
In our divine connect
Optimised for us alone
Of ecstasy only we own

Holding hands
looking into each other's eyes
miles away
worlds away from this world

ah love
that potent elixer that flows in veins
making the recipient
a seeker of drug induced nirvana

Holding hands
as time slips away like a quiet thief
ah love
that molten simmering that threatens
to overwhelm 
ah love...

     Being teased is a horrible fate,
     Children do this all the time without a quake.

     Not realizing the pain they cause,
     Just looking for friends to applaud.

     Only when they are the recipient of teasing,
     Will they agree.

     My friends were mean.
     When they tease,
     They hurt me!...

I kept turning these precognitive pages...
As one skipping about a reticent rendition; but
They continued coming up blank although knowing 
That I was just one drop of ink away; ten thousand terms 
Words in her horse drawn clandestine carriage; his poetic helots 
Hearse from some semantics recipient read through; `ex post facto....

The end

So it is all over
ashes to ashes
dying is expensive 
not paid for by 
the recipient.
The padre was mercifully short
four funerals a day
nothing new to say.
The violinist played Ave Maria
I tried not to cry.
Death is a great leveler.
The empty feeling of the gone.
We had a good dinner and spoke of other things....

Do you? 
Fasten procrastination against the bed sheets of discontented motivation?
Sleeping into oblivion with depression settling in?
Becoming a recipient of insidious stigmatization?

Or, Do you? 
Pull yourself up from the valarien labyrinth 
of maladjusted madness into the meridian borders beyond a delirium of serious commitment?...

It's not thanksgiving, but I get a turkey. 
That's what comes when there's three strikes for me. 
My average is up close to two hundred by now. 
I had to get a lot of strikes somehow. 
One day, I shall be the recipient of some fame. 
A score of three hundred means I have a perfect game.

Inspired by another member's poem.
