Frozen rain eats away at my morning energy, a soft malaise coating my tongue, maligning my words, reducing me to gelatinous failure.

No Words

words are powerful
when used correctly they move
but trump them does death
reducing thoughts to mere tears
as the words forever fade

Makes one count syllables, and yet
Flows from one line to the next

Each line reducing
Syllablcally,
Producing

POKING FUN

Pity the plight of the limerick
mocking the sight of Tom, Harry and Dick
reducing to laughter
their before and after
bursting the bubbles of needleless pricks.

Snoring Disaster

When Cyris snored it shook the house piers,
Reducing his wife to constant tears,
At wits end she put a peg on his nose
To stop where the emanating air noise grows,
But unfortunately it blew off both of his ears.

Reducing a book
down to one chapter

Reducing that chapter
to a paragraph honed

Reducing that paragraph
to one lasting sentence

Reducing that sentence
 to a word
— truth atoned

Flair Is Fun

Cultivate a flair just for fun
Some flair in hand goes a long way
in reducing tensions to none
All have some inborn flair I say

Pearl

Pearl is consider the color
That connects sky and ocean
Pearl believed to have the power
To help the wearer fight
The power of darkness 
Bringing a feeling of cheerfulness 
Comfort and happiness 
Reducing negative energy.

Health Update

If doctors emphasize managing disease but not reducing their presence and  incidence (eg. cancers), then medicine is similar to managing excrement: keep it out of sight, but NOT reduce it. Remember, there is always a good Dr. Crap, too

The Third Way

Pity the poor Communists
Who misjudged humanity’s dark side

Pity the poor capitalists
Who worshiped unbridled greed

Hooray for Buddhists
Who choose a third path
Mindfully controlling greed
Reducing the “I ness”
Embracing a higher consciousness

Suicidal

Suicidal! his own problem
The wrought of his failures
Reducing himself
His deceiving pleasures
The trials
And temptations
He succumbed 
The remorse
His down fall!
Leading to his back fall
All is himself
Self war
Suicidal!

Premium Member Reducing Knowledge

Insisting one might was well be dead
Feasting upon dark emotional words
This is how the young have been led
Magnetic this compass for the birds
Signal sent be that of infrared 
Drawing them all in by the herds
This be part of their pseudoscience 
By misusing the cognitive science

Laughter

Laughter is a true medicine
Artful mood changing dietician
Universal umpire of fun
Gigantic pain reducing gun
Heaving hearty hullabaloo
Tombstones stress to Kalamazoo
Engineers relationship glue
Real flavor boost for life's fondue.

Premium Member Undergarments


   The undergarments rustled with sound nearby
   Yellowed and stained from the year gone by
   Beginning final travel 
   Drifting in the wind
   Outlines left on walkways and cement
   Changing canopies reducing shade
   Raked piles
   Smells of fall
   As the undergarments rustled nearby

Indifference

What difference does my endless pool of excuses make?

Do I not realize that my inarticulate sigh of agony 
is diluted in a sea of decomposing silence, 
with negative noise foaming at the pores of particle nonsense, 
and false memories of perfect bliss,
 in the process of reducing me
 to utterly insignificant screeching?

Premium Member Respectable Break

respectable break
relaxed and refreshed
readily rejuvenated
responsible respite
reluctantly retiring 
rapidly unwinding 
relieved of day to day duties
reducing  stagnation
ready for a well-earned hiatus 
recall joy found during the last one

Premium Member Vulnerable

As we slowly soften attention
simply looking about in gentleness
empathy tuning into subtler vibrations 
we feel impacted by misaligned consciousness 

This anomaly of contraction is easily corrected
by reducing identity borne attachment 
recognition having ego deselected
thus nestled in contentment

Sorrowful

Shadow dwelling in the heart
Over a rain of raw pain
Retrieving light from the soul
Reducing fire from the spirit
Obscured by night so dark
Whirlwind of emotions’ tearful train
Falling helplessly in the undertow
Unable to go on, wishing to quit
Lost, until one must surface to breathe air.
