Entree to the innermost beauty,
Yet ruminating thoughts of mind,
Experience link soul to soul,
Simply visualize realities of life!...

beaming flowers of red
and magenta emancipating
trees breaking branches
handicapped yellow dog
ruminating cows urinating
healing potion in the
land of the ruined temples...

If you leave her alone in the room
And sit outside on the swing,
Ruminating your moments,
It is grounds for punishment
But the cold shoulder isn’t so cold
When you’re returning the favor...

kneeling in a field 
         obscured behind grassy weeds
             soft munching concealed 
            ruminating his days deeds 
          chewing the cud could reveal

Live your life or die tonight
This is it, or is that right
Is there a life beyond my original sight
Until it comes, forever I’ll fight
Ruminating if I’ll see the light
Or another life after death tonight...

They sit upon their seats of power,
Ruminating  each hour after hour,
For words that protect them,
So we'll reelect them
To keep them in their ivory tower.

The misanthropic ants
crawl on reality
as I sit by
     the river's edge

ruminating on
hellish collapse

meditating on
peaceful solitude

The river’s undulations
caress reality
as I sit by
     life’s edge...

A

do 
easy
formulation-
grasping, 
hanging,

Jungle's 
keeper 
lust 
many
nights 
over 
prey. 
Quietly- 
ruminating 
shameless
toward 
ungulates, 
very 
wary

*ungulates are hoofed animals. Generally prey to big cats....

NaPoWriMo
NaPoWriMo Day4
Adveristy
Shorts

Termination inbound on the day
Ruminating over the cause
Sudden pain caused by fellowship

Heartstrings hand-plucked, wrought with strife
You take a bow, adversity on your fingertip
Perfectionist performance, chimerical display....

The blade of grass between my fingertips,
stood firm until the winds came.
The river that I sat beside -
a mirror to the clear blue skies-
shivered under the command,
of the same breeze that cooled my hand.

Revelation tends,
for the souls of men. 
All is tranquil within our hearts,
until Typhoeus escapes his bonds....

R aging fire burns inside 
As another promise is broken tonight.
Invisible your feelings become 
Never should have trusted anyone.
Disappointed in myself 
Ruminating over the events that took place.
Over whelmed by harsh words spoken.
Perfection was never expected
Sending tears in a raindrops kiss, to show how much you are missed....

one
one goes
one goes gently
one goes gently into
one goes gently into clouds
one goes gently into clouds of
one goes gently into clouds of rumination

ruminating clouds grow gently in one
ruminating clouds grow gently in
ruminating clouds grow gently
ruminating clouds grow
ruminating clouds
ruminating...

Laugh at me in absurdity
Until you die you shall live in infamy
Death has shown me
Illicit things the world may never see
Chivalry never meant much for me
Ruminating over all I'd never be
Obviously dyeing to know what peers think
Until the day I die I will be an antagonist
Sweet vanguard never knew what I missed, what ludicrous....

sun is setting
into a new tomorrow
the colored cows gaze
into the disappearing horizon
ruminating
bunch of dogs resting
peacefully
we are now
on the rusted wheels
of time unbalanced on
the edge of a thrilling life
hand in hand
pedalling back then forth
spokes of intimacy
leading to an open
confession
dogs are sleeping
now...

Pens and pencils are a memory.

A vacation from paper, as well.

I am folding inside.

I am folding and ruminating and then blooming again.

Spontaneous! Fascinating!

I’m ready to be famous!

But for now, all I can focus on is another blanket, another blanket, another blanket.

Some better food.

And maybe going home someday....

(In all honesty, this was originally penned as a 5 second joke about meaningless poetry. Then I looked at it and quite liked it and realised it was actually just a short about the poetry I wrote yesterday. Found the idea interesting, so sharing)

There is texture on the ceiling
Mimicking my ruminating thoughts
Mind and body contained within...

Silent hours of deepest night
Awake pondering creation
Age has me salient of fact
We are transitory creatures.

Endless youthful years
Quite unappreciated
Oblivious to impermanence
Carefree and careless.

Maturity an insidious process
Step by step awareness grows
Innocence overtaken by age
Ruminating in night's silent hours.

There's a question
and what it wants to know,
your name and nomenclature

Are you weighty
have you settled down ?
Pure  inquisiveness

Have you a jam jar of wild nettles
or wild thyme,
and have you cherished your loved ones 

Someone's waiting to be heard
and to be answered evermore
like a carder of wool
combed for truth
ruminating on my hill
ever aware of the possibilities...

Some thoughts sail through
Others cut a jagged path
Snagging on innocent brain cells

Serious damage can be done
Obviously invisibly
Shouting for help pointless

Sentience comes with downsides
Overthinking and ruminating
Soothing from another not always an option

So, time heals
Only if the damage stops though
Self-imposed life sentence...

The night wind blew
through the Judas trees
scattering their unscented flowers,
pinkish purple all around,
resembling blood 
shed on the ground 
of a small hillock
not far from another one 
called Golgotha.
That was so long ago.
A man stood there,
ruminating on past events.
Why did he have to die?


Note:  The Judas tree produces flowers first.  When all flowers are gone the leaves appear.  It's not a pleasant sight....

Weeping sky, downcast sky, 
laden with winter sorrow, with winter apology.
Ruminating sky, regretful sky,
pregnant with unsettled mind, unsettled life.
Necessary suffering sky replenishing, restoring
all the waters of sustenance.
Is this the agony women know in labor?
Birthing, stretching, moaning sky,
helpless cry, billowy churning sky,
light-starved and dejected.
We can only wait for nature’s cloud break,
nature’s mandate from a brighter angle of the sun....
