Premium Member Immortelle Structured Prose

Hitherto unseen chance arrangements
a pictorial fiction, representation immortelle
Banal,but witty yet disconcerting in its
fortuitous resemblance to veracity
A novel way of seeing ,to the jaded eye.

Reliable representation of 
the truth who know a 
lot about 
verbs hits the

sour tasting busy and 
zestful dishonesty too 
often returns to 
win the

Premium Member Representation

streams of thought continue to flow

as ideas endure archaic mindsets

forced silence speaks through the pen

the written word will rise to the occasion

and a Whip-poor-will chant its name endlessly

in enthusiastic appreciation from dusk to dawn

Circles

circles
circles are perfect
they have no start
no beginning
no end
each point an equal
the closest representation
of eternity
as perfect a definition
of the cosmos
as will ever be found
circles
perfect eternity
maybe the only
perfection there is.

The Subtle Art of Representation

There is no critical mass for ambiguity.
At this time, we are a little aside of ourselves
so we must constantly check our watches,
The sublimity of yet more obscurity,
more inexplicable poetry
presses,
drives us
to paste a nearby reality
upon ghost-paper once more.

Premium Member Learning Differentiation If You Please

learning differentiation
a much wiser representation

some of the most remarkable actresses and writers
those who think differently and are advocates and fighters
have been labelled this weird label.
I am one of them, no fable.

Reflections of a Writer

As a child, I dreamt of occupations
that would take me to the moon,
deepest of the oceans, and most hidden
places in the mind.

Today, I am all I wanted to be as a child.
All the character that I have jotted down
in my stories are my representation.

Post-Culture War

Watching the extinction
of the paleo
as the death
calls
them
to the crank lab or product
or the prison and psych-ward.

Those that are still here
await Jeff Foxworthy
for exploitative representation
finding
Dale on the the King of the Hill
solace.

This Is Poetry

This is poetry
Freedom
You can't be wrong
You can't really be right

This is poetry
It is me in words
It looks nothing like me 
Read it how you choose

This is poetry
it has feeling
It has none
It is mine

This is poetry
It is an out of body
Representation
Of my soul

School Bus Mahogany

Do you ever stop to think that you're a bus?
No I don't mean a vehicle that would go to toys r us 
I mean an actual bus
Thats a representation of all of us
They stop at red lights 
In spite
Of fights
Lonely nights
A low kite
A repetitive life
Green light, go 
And that's the show

with red eyes blazing

they race through fog on hot sands

in a dying land . . . 

Barsoom’s white apes transplanted

to an earth where hell broke loose.


Note: Barsoom is a fictional representation of the planet Mars created by American pulp fiction author Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Shroud of Brethren Blood

A ribbon of peace made of red, white and blue
Had fallen to earth on a breeze
With hopes that someone would take and hold true
The values so needed for peace

Alive in the colors, representation of man
The struggles in life so endured
All sewn together in one tight fine weave
Offering to all, peace assured

Playing Well

I do not wish to be aware of life
        before she finishes ...
        Even death when it comes ...
        All rowing the right time
        to live and leave ...
        We all have our safe haven
        in the indefinite infinite ...
        What do we have here,
        it's just a representation ...
        May we play our role well... !

The Death

The trigger lay steady and sardonic
 in the hands of the ready stalker.

She lays unaware , a spot for each grand representation
 of naiveness in her hair.
Full of innocence; didn’t even have chance to mature.
 For the hunter was to ensure the value of her fur, 
by stripping her bare of what she had earned.

She was nothing more than her new found horror

Blue Dot

In a field of perfect night,
There is a blue dot.
What is its purpose?
What is the point?
What is it doing here
All on its own?  Is it some
Divine punctuation mark,
Denoting the end of eternity?
Or is it  a concrete representation
Of the oneness of the universe?
What does it mean by its 
Blue silence?  It is a mystery,
This blue dot, out here
In the middle of eternity.
