You remind me of Janis.

You have your Grampa's eyes.
You've got his easy smile and mannerisms.
You radiate contagious good humour.

For The Memory

Age, whilst do we more
And more aspect
Its own, the world's, its youth through 
Strange, stranger daunts.
Not for what, cries, cheers
Manic-confused
Ran with, no resemblance bears.
Memory haunts!

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.

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

A Brother's Love

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.

Premium Member Flamboyant Blossoms

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

Premium Member Relationship

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.

Sorry Sorrow

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.

Resemblance To Wealth

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.

Premium Member Even Before She Writes

...she has a story to write, 
a story with no resemblance 
to what she has ever written before, 
a story of beautiful writing anew -
a new song. 

with two broken hands, 
she cannot fly, 
so, if she cannot fly, 
and since she cannot fly, (she sensed it)
let her sing. 

cynical, right?

The Statue That Almost Was

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.

Roots

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 .

The Woman In the Mirror

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

Resemblance

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

Premium Member A Tangle of Thoughts

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

The Egg

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.
