Tranquil mannequins,
You'd think they are showcasing
Perfect harmony,
But their lack of expressions
Is simply restrained anger...

Too stubborn to confess 
giving away small hints 
In an desperate attempt 
You will notice 
Day after day 
Over and over 
Showcasing my subtle 
Vulnerabilities....

gold
fronds of
sunflowers
frame large center-
dance around a stage
of velvet-like, plush brown

rising as queens and kings
in fields- fronting sun 
sway side by side 
showcasing
nature's
gift

The greatness of Alexander was earned from killing plenty 
The notoriety of Adolphus was earned from killing plenty 
Both men murdered humans as they desired 
Today one is great and the other evil
Showcasing how history is written 
The winner is always the author...

The Hollywood sign still stands,
showcasing a place
with a wild reputation
and a touch of grace...
Like most fake facades
and lost opportunities,
it leaves folks at odds.

firmament* so vast
showcasing celestial lights---
God reigns… sees us all

*Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.

You can start doing
What you want 
At any time.
Don't bind yourself
With age and other things
Age is never the limit
Unless you make it
Difficult for yourself
Add smile to initiate
Others to say hi and hello
To people you meet each day
Life is showing who you are
In and out, showcasing to the world....

Glad,hedonistic lad;
Delighting in delectations,
Amusing affectations,
Posturing pretension
with ogling ostentation!

Professing pleasure seeking
Confessing,leisure leaning.
Reputation so revealing,
Passe peer appealing!

Performing,extroverting,
Showcasing,demonstrating,
Superficial and artificial;
Pleasure without measure....

Nothing 
  Like, lollygagging by a waterfall
    Watching the clouds deliver 
      A daytime, honey drizzler
        Falling in wet, misty, aerosol

Rain 
  Invigorates 
    Me 
      Yea

Enamored
  As the heavens open wider
    The afternoon sky takes a gander
      Showcasing, a freshwater
        Sun shower, water whisper...

The sky is clear bright and open
Showcasing the glowing patterns
I traced while lying down
Snuggled against dewy grass on loamy soil

My spirit soars amidst the amidst the updraft
and my heart returns to visit
the feeling of home

Your spirit is here
Wrapped about our love
Our shared memories
Etched into the fabric of unchanging stars...

Atop This Smoldering Cold Facade Lies Several Shines of Warm Gold, Un Corazon.

Behind, Stands The Silver, Showcasing the Gold In Front, Allowing It's Song To Be Heard and Admired.

And Yet, Bronze is never shown, left in the dust Of The First 2.

Of course, Not All Admiration is shown To Gold or Silver, There Are Those With Preference To The 3rd....

In the exuberant morning sun
Showcasing the self was an obsession
Cricket swimming jumping very high
Flying the kite high up in the blue sky

In the mellow glee of afternoon
Seeing and waiting is the mind's moon
Around your neck my arms in a loop
Relaxing happily in Poetry Soup

In her grandmother's old farmhouse
Amid her poetry ,collections grew
Showcasing imaginatively till
Every room overfilled
Discovered what could remain or to let go 
Decisions of compromise ,loss maybe so
Life's lessons she learned,loved and knew
Well nested between white washed walls,
and loving souls taught, lay's an  everlasting harvest
Rooted memories hold.......

From field to photoshoot whiz
People has power showcasing beauty
Turn eyes to bulging wonder bees
That meets excellency in photography
Every culture has display its faces
From embroidery to color coding outfits
From pottery to exuding highlight dresses
From native musical instrument to its song hits
Reminds us the basic things of happiness
Lies in the preservation of our original mankind ingeniousness....

Soft shadows, 
slowly slide suspiciously,
sustaining shivers 
shooting silently-
suggesting simultaneously, 
surreal wind-blown, 
wispy, wisteria wands
whispering wildly, 
waltzing wonderfully-
while willfully 
wagering, winged-wights wallow.
Slithering silhouettes 
secretly stun- 
surely, sculpturing spooky, 
scary spirits-
showcasing swarthy, 
spellbinding sprites.

I love the way a rose perfumes through the air   
singing her song of summer with flare  
showcasing her colors true
bathing us anew  
with beauty 
THE ROSE* 
poetry    
in motion, the rose  
always delivers her prose  
with sense and sensibility she 
always reminds me, that a spirit lives free

"reflective risings"

dawn approaches with new possibilities
and the sun shines expressing hope
as songbirds visit outside the pane

dusk rolls in with blankets of comfort
and the moon beams showcasing wonder
as each silhouette faces peacefulness

the in betweens is for all to view for
sunrise to sunset are reflective risings
where illumination colours state of mind

For His goodness
Showcasing His mercy
Upheld by His compassion
Guarding me with His omnipotence...
...I give God the honour* He deserves
   while fulfilling His will with faithfulness-strength
   embraced by His care
   protected around His prudence.

*1Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Biden smells blood and wants First Kill*
Putin just laughs and hopes he will
Kim Jong-Un claps his hands
Xi Jinping understands
Warmongers can't wait for the thrill! 


* The USA is the world's largest manufacturer
of arms and military gear and must 
constantly provoke conflict to increase
sales, which have been hindered by the
media showcasing Chinese, North Korean, 
and Russian arms and military equipment!...

Listen to poem:

Raindrops on window
coalesce to create rivulets, 
that run down the window pane.

They are like teardrops, 
which emanate from pain deep within, 
and which run down the face,
leaving snail trails that glisten, 
showcasing the ache and suffering amassed.

Seldom do these drops
free-fall on a chute,
but when they do
they splatter with
a splish, splosh, plonk
and shatter,
leaving a spray pattern
as clear evidence on the ground....
