Short Reinforcement Poems

When gone goes 
Positive reinforcement
All around you,
You must provide your own.
You are the prayer.
You are the God....

Grieve and Relieve

We so often will seem to grieve; 
Writing more poems will relieve; 
Did help me out,
Without a doubt,
Reinforcement always receive.

NEURON

Nerves all end in junctions
Not just any synapse
Never just point to point
None of the nerve signals
Needing reinforcement
Nature’s evolution
Now better understood...

Mutual reinforcement of illusion 
and expectation. 

House of Livia 
filled in by our imagination.

—————————————————————

Lines disconnected from teachings 
on Art, Poetry at random. 

What did you muse to be their origination?
Perhaps that’ll take you somewhere....

Captivation 
Replication 
Reinforcement 
Of the demonstration 

Lying anger 
Silent quiver 
Noisy confessions 
Of what we never 
Had the guts 
To ever accomplish 
So we sit here 
Waiting for the end of it 

Reincarnation 
Of disintegration 
Is the reflection 
Of pride in our nation....

I would build mine own house
Out of mud in some parts
And concrete reinforcement in others.
I would
Build mine house of stone
From a foundation
No shaker can shake,
And many windows
Would people use
To hear welcome,
And a light,
Gleaming brilliantly
From my smile to them,
Through
Many smiling windows....

you don't need to
take my hand to
take it to touch
your breast

you don't need to
lead my lips to
your lips for to 
take a kiss

but in my awkward
outlandish never
understanding
world of my

insecurities i need
for you to tell me 
over and over
and over

that what you really
mean is that you
truly do love
me for me...

SUNBURN

Sunkisses strike leaving red lipstick marks,
Ubiquitous blush from head to toe.

Nabalm bites raw like tiger sharks,
Blazing with emotional undertow.

Umbrellas arrive with rainbow arcs,
Reinforcement relief with balm and bows.

Naproxen, to bed, air conditioning works!

Extinction






Annihilation of atolls,
Extinction of species
maybe an act or fact of life,
Natural or by human hunt
calls for reinforcement,

But at times I feel....

There must be more content in death 
than life could ever provide.
Unknown unsung lives
now in mention- the extinct.

REINFORCEMENT

We are looking
All searching 
For a gear that fits
For things we won’t admit
For things that will numb our hurting
Habits collect comfort become hard to quit

Reinforcement 
Why we avoid our pain
When it is what defines us.
Gives us our true name
We should accept  it without blame
let it serve as remindings of those cowardice kings
Ruling poisonous reigns
Perpetuating the disease....
