Short Screening Poems

Purose and Meaning

What was Trump's purpose and meaning
Information we should start screening
All of it start searching through
Just like FBI tries to do
My head off wall went careening.

Listening never heard
Watching never seen
Relating unrelated
Screening behind a screen
Eyes
white lights in a blue pool
maybe one watt
Voice
warm soothing
a computerized hum
Thoughts mechanized
Battery recharged every hour
on the hour
Grown man
Alone man
Stone man

Salubrious antipasto
Trimmed to be vociferous
Left without the tympani
Holding up a symphony
Greased well guaranteed articulate
Inundated synchrony
Molded into ebony
Gone on before the starting gate
Innate
Careening toward a screening
Where is all this the leading?
A gracious over-seeding
All sliding towards a feeding
In generosity I ate...

Go into the Badlands.

Get your private screening.
See how the universe works.

Have a double dose of psych.
Bath in its sea of love,
Smell the enemy within.
The dark tower. 
The soul surfer.

In your warrior's way,
Embrace the den of thieves.

You'll feel pretty.

Now, get out of my room
Big city greens.
Anywhere but here,
Repo man....

Some girls’ eyes were fastened on Dennis
Doing wonderful Tennis
In boxers poorly screening ,
Much to the dismay of his First Niece,
His sometimes-raging, Girlfriend Eunice,
A Christian Mother he’d rendered service
But not to Arch Enemy Elvis
With him competing in their office…

“For long have I been expecting this
From a man who’d named me Novice”...

Quote By Poet  "Chatter ~ Many words all with no meaning."    

Chatter~many words all with no meaning 
I think your words need screening 
you sound so very crazy 
is your mouth being lazy 
or does your mouth need a good cleaning

Standing but stumbling, mumbling and grumbling
Looking for meaning in the stars
Weeping but leaping, reaping while sleeping
Screening ghostwriters for my memoirs

I was wondering about the seed and the sprout
While watering my alkanet plants
Torn asunder by seething self-doubt
While observing a colony of ants

Then it came to me all at once like a lightening bolt
It's time to change, time to dissent, it's time to revolt...

Barack cool as a schooner in wind
Anchored his vision to the sky
Rinse the blue and uncloud his mind
Rose up sweetly, bloom to defy
Ancient customs screening light 
Callous suppositions on human rights
Kindle a candle on his bow

Omniscient one, keep this orison for him
Black as the night but better to show
Africa's star on the Atlantic brim
Mending fences, sweeping pretenses away
Allow him to bring his cargo into bay....

Thoughts, images, impressions, musings
Churning, whirling, spinning, swirling
In the inner sanctum of the mind
Dwelling, screening, sheltering, nurturing

Thoughts, images, impressions, musings
Yearning for expression
Passions, emotions, sentiments, feelings
Aching, pining, craving, seeking

Thoughts, images, impressions, musings
On the canvas of the mind
Sprouting, budding, blooming, blossoming
Bursting in a riot of expressions....

The universe is a mercurial cloud.
Against its overbearing chaos,
I have only my words.
They are never solutions,
Only questions.
Always selective in their attention.
Always filters screening out 
The subatomic assault.
I have only my words. 
I scroll through cable channels.
I download all the apps.
How do I ponder a musical chord?
How do I arrange an ordered thought?
The social order is our agreement,
Our consensus on what exists....

Diction and syntax
syntax and diction
may as well
be science-fiction
searching for words
which have better meaning
poking and prodding
gleaning and screening,
and how should I arrange that phrase?
Format that phrase, how?
Ins and outs,
ups and downs,
this will NOT break me
I vow!
Opting for this,
vying for that,
sounding as silly as
the Cat in the Hat.
Syntax and diction
Diction and syntax
but now that it’s done,
I can sit back
and relax!...

I caught a glimpse of a sunrise.
Pale magenta cast by the sun on gray skies
The cool air of early morn seemed to be my prize.
The creamy white blossoms on moon flower did apprise.

I did not want to go back inside.
Chores faced me there besides.
Life should be more appealing.
Like seeing the small things in life come alive

The kitchen needed some cleaning.
Breakfast needed my hand.
If only it could be handled by screening
Or by the wave of a magic fan...

The commanding officer with forceful strode
Beleaguered by the blizzard, nonstop we rode
In the sweeping expedition within deserts
Heavy masses on our back with an extraordinary load
Once an unyielding fortitude, now walking on with backs bowed
Reasoning with intellects bearing
Casting nuisance in a foreign tongue, sheep’s following the goad
Plead with the omnipotence to forgive their malicious seeds sowed
Looking up to the 7th heaven, screening the supremacy of Karma....

By Buffs and shrugs experts revive the dead 
detect means of two worlds how spread
they call the being extraterrestrial living 
looking for water in space with misgiving

Depict art sign's formed by ancient designs 
laid there for centuries among pines 
having textural and deep meaning 
still thou scientists search by screening

Ancient Paradise i call for thou art skewed slantwise
an sought to show us a future advice
tho' myth still exists in thee 
from about there i buy my fee...

Brushing and preening
and carefully screening
for hair that looks out of place.

Satisfied with that
so the hair is not flat
move-on and  check over the face.

I keep in mind
are my eyebrows aligned
look even , and
of a shape and size.

Move down to the eye's
well hello you guy's
see the liner
looks even and straight.

Down to those luscious 
pouting-kissable lip's
perfect ! huba-huba babe
diamond ear studs complete the look.
