Tribes,

Don't know,

The First World War,

The second,

And,

Not to be destroyed by the last!...

They raised eyes to the skies and gave Him a name

Premium Member A National Vibe
A country needs a culture
    a recognizable national vibe

  Without one what you've got
    is a bunch of squabbling tribes...

The Maker of Roses and Violets
The Maker of violets and roses 
Gave a land to the tribes led by Moses
In antiquity
For eternity
And all of humanity knows it....

lost tribes
worlds away
shunning progress
living on yesterdays…
always

dragons
underground
bones long asleep
yesterdays overstay…
ever...

Foundling in an equatorial land
By African apes,raised by hand-
Swinging by rope,from tree to tree
Finding lost tribes,living free-
Tar......zan...to you & me....

yaupon, but not yopon
yet type small holly tree
yields, pure caffeine-rich leaves
yearn American tribes
yes, used centuries old
youngberries stimulate
yahoo, rousing draft drink...

Mission San Jose
Hostile tribes lived close to mission.
Soldiers' use brought tribes's submission.
They saw life's improved condition.
Life was sweeter.
Sale of mission reaped attrition
Day joys fleeter....

Leaves Wearing Tribes
Animals and birds enjoy no seasons,

In summer,

In winter,

In hot and shower,

Tribes wearing leaves,

Hot summers releasing me from coats,

Cold winters keeping me inside the coats,

Why?...

Premium Member Africa in a timewarp
exotic continent of contradictions
remote as remote can be
where deserts and cities coexist
where I can still go safari hunting
with traditional tribes like the Maasai

Africa, beautiful continent
Dreamy echoes fascinate
Giraffes heighten inclines
Jurassic known linger
Madagascar nestles offshore
Primates quest reform
Savannah tribes umbilical
Visioned waves x-ray

All Earth's sacred tribes

From seeds
to nuts
and eggs
and embryos
and guts

Organically start sacred life
as faithful panentheists

Receiving nutritional manna
from MotherSky's
Gaian healthcare 
wealth of heaven....

Premium Member Barbarians
Barbarians trampled through the empire. They came in waves from wherever was home. Boors killed Romans and set buildings afire. Cities were laid to waste when tribes would roam. These ruffians lit Rome’s funeral pyre.

Potent Pasttime of Burning Knowledge
Light a cinder
For all accumulated burdens
Life renews in a millisecond
As veins pump golden stories

Bonfire for vanity-
is good to feast on doubt
Celebrating royal love
Like tribes in weary sands

Realizing time is a gambit
Universe is out on loan
Are we are the passage...

Premium Member Indian Summer
Every summer, there were always places
In which we slumbered together.
I once believed it’d all be lost forever.
No matter, however, we’ll always be together.
Be it through mine poems alone,
Or when all of the people gather,
Like all of the tribes I once ever known....

Wayne Weigh-In
If you heard a Soup Censor holler
They just saw a Cook Islands dollar
Allowing for windage
That Tiki appendage*
Could incite a 9-1-1 caller! 


* Gershon-approved, i.e., circumcised
Is that sufficient evidence
the Lost Tribes of Israel 
were on a Cook-out?...

Fear Is a Spread Thing
Soldiers fear Warship, 
Labourers hardship,
Demons fellowship, 
Tribes citizenship,
Chaos leadership
Thugs Governorship
Loners long friendship
Fat Guys sportsmanship
Backbenchers headship
Men secretaryship:
Another man's Worship...

Fear is a spread thing
Mine fails not to ring....

The Old Songs Play Themselves
Some heard as his mother 
stood over ironing in the 1947
summer of Hatboro, Pa.. 
Some of the songs
in black and white
Saturday evening television circles. 
Some later, songs of folksy pretension.  
The songs persist 
anchors of memory, 
like the crystaline 
seeds of clouds, 
matrons of tribes....

Save the Tribes
Where are the Dinosaurs gone?,

Tracing beyond the Amazon forests,

Plants and lives loaded,

To the Noah's ship in safe,

On a head count, the tribes,

Passed the Earth in peace,in dearth and death,

Roll over the sky labs into the woods,

To save the dying noses and not the Di nos aurs!...
