looking into a mirror
twin version of her...

two peas in a pod alike

Eileen looks sometime
Like America.

Sometimes, 
America looks like Eileen....

Listen to poem:

Outwardly, I bear
but slight resemblance.
But, oh!
On the inside,
We are virtual twins!...

Ankles

Anxiety riddled ankles desire strongly
to 
become robots
bearing a 
resemblance to 
cows.

Golden thread cypress, 
Your personality, bright; 
Bush of the suns’ rays.  
Family resemblance, seen 
In shades of yellow and green.

AUTHENTICITY
a
resemblance

 confirmed
with
 the
theory of truth
in
a
purported
 pigmentation
of
 flawed aesthetics
 analysed
with
an
impecable
provenance...

When you stop a sec to consider
all the genes you share with this critter,
it is so clear, right off the bat,			
why you always act like a rat.			
Don’t let this truth make you feel bitter....

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....

Surely everyone's heard of gamma rays
If there's such a thing as grampa rays, I'd be amazed
But keep it in the family
Resemblance is uncanny
They're now on my who-ha, I'm really ashamed...

There is a love that I
have found,
To which no ties of blood
are bound
Where no lineage can
be traced,
nor resemblance found upon
our face
Yet deep within a heart
so true,
A brother’s love found I;
In you....

Scorching sun, baking earth
Wilted flowers, dried shrubs
Vibrant hues of Crape Myrtle 
Lively displays of brilliance
Clusters of flamboyant blossoms
White, pink, red, lavender and purple
Crinkled paper resemblance   
Astonishing dramatic marvels...

AFFECTIONS
unrequited
a
recognisable
resemblance
in
unfinished
replicas

mystery&
curiosity
emanates
in
an
 element
of
renown
&slender
beauty

a
distinct
yet
indescribeable
 aura
indictive
of  despair
accumulates
 out of proportion...

A little girl
I spied in the bustling throng
among the adults
where the crowds belonged
from a tribe that rose
against my community
their anger unfurled.
She bore a resemblance
to my sweet grand daughter.
In that vibrant market
where stories are  spun.

it's not your fault
that you are invisible
you have a striking resemblance
to a lightly drawn shadow
it isn't a mask that can wear you
no presence to strike
only loneliness can guide 
any essence left from you
but then
isn't it always that way
for a woman without expression....

Greed or need,
whoever designed it
is laughing at us,
despite its resemblance
to wealth,
it cripples health,
destroys the land,
flows freely
like grains of sand,
it spreads everyday,
like a necessity here,
it frightens without fear,
money and fame is the lure,
death is the cure....

Bronze and stone, they had a dream:
They commisioned a statue,
I guess they thought it would bring
A semblance of remembrance;
Something to which they could cling.
The artist had his virtue*
And created what would seem
A semblance of resemblance
To one Martin Luther King.
Alas, it was not their dream.

Just like veins ;they sprout out from soil ,
Facial resemblance and deeds of my grand father ,
Tentacles spread like thick clouds in the sky ,
Deep thoughts and emotion that cannot be hidden ,
Traits passed on through the blood from root .

When I pass a mirror
and catch you watching me,
I'm stricken with the strangest chill
that no one else can see.

The resemblance is uncanny.
The face, the hair, the nose.
I'm even just about your height.
I guess that's how it goes.

I'll always be reminded 
of when you went away
each time I pass a mirror...
(That's every single day.)...

PROFILE - to be read slowly

left side
now quickly!
another glance
not becoming
left side? – well?
perhaps the right side
just as bad
the resemblance is stiking!
my father    but
as an old man
no!    i’ll look head-on
yes!    
better
i see the once youth
memories flood
first friends
first love    and
that unbounded energy
i’ll not try profile again...

Floating, fluttering playing among the flowers,
A butterfly... I wonder if it's the butterfly or my Fu.
                                                                                           ~Byeol

Fu: in Chinese tend for husband 
Flowers: here are used to resemble women...

Open to surprise in subjective
isolated rhythms and form.
Similarities,yet changed themes,
repetitionss provide a resemblance 
and assimulates all kinds of meaning

Hear me recite from 4000+ PS anthology on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro..

Heavenly sculptures floating high
Define those images I try
Is that a rabbit hopping by?
Each design changing art
Imagination on the fly
Once a frog, now a heart

Fluffed up egos strut on their way
White, cottony coats turn to gray
Blue disappears to my dismay
Light to dark brewing storm
Grumpy groans follow light display
Clouds looks like one cross swarm...

My three minute egg in boiling water,
Seventeen for hard-boiled, according to Julia,
Or fried in bacon grease for the trip to eternity
Two jaundiced eyes on my father's chipped plate,
Or butter for scrambled then cover 'em with catsup;
No resemblance here to the Faberge eggs
Covered with diamonds, rubies and pearls
For the pleasure of the Russian royal family....
