Short Unschooled Poems

the righteous of this world
are dump unschooled
surviving only on soup of life
served in plates of their souls...

  unschooled
  in pride
  sweeping 
  debris
  under tables
  into corners
  as if
  it didn’t matter

Be gentle as the wind fierce as the stars 
that shine at night 
Be careful as a city deer unschooled as the sea    
Be aware of others but don't lose yourself  
nor give away the token  that was meant for,  
you...

Unadulterated and pure
  the thoughts left my mind

Untrained and unschooled
  no restrictions to bind

The page below virgin
  as I lower my pen

A literary wanderer
  —starting over again

Unschooled, undisciplined,
  my spirit forged on

Past theory and dogma,
  past anthem and song

A serendipitous storm,
  thoughts, feelings, unshared

All masking together,
 —with just one to care

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)...

Justice sags for those in rotten rags 
Those in uniform is kept razor tight 
Where is your bleeding heart now. 

A baby, whose line crossed 
Where history meets, 
Dies 
Unschooled 
To tear gas rain, 

Condemned, 
Justice floats away 
Like a forgotten balloon....

It’s not as though we lost our cool
without any reason at all;
the unschooled should follow this rule:
no smoking’s allowed in the hall.

Others may call it a defect
but it’s the butterfly effect,
against which fragile lungs protest
and smokers, we speak not in jest....

Nothing matters
once you’re gone
It matters
when you’re here

Tomorrow cloaked
in lost regret
Today
the moment dear

Transcendence born
of time undone
Free 
of all the rules

The sand to run
till all is lost
If prescience
— left unschooled

(The New Room: September, 2024)

Leonardo da Vinci





Great painter of Italian Renaissance,
Unquenchable curiosity,
Human anatomy his fav,
engineer and scientist,
Sculptor and inventor,
Illegitimate,
Most eclectic,
polymath,
Unschooled
Whiz.

coloured sonatas
                                         in every nook and cranny
                                      splashed by unschooled spring

In any argumentation,
there's none as unanswerable
as a smug diner's opinion.


You gush about chilled champagne,
To my unschooled taste buds,
that's simply bottled, sugared rain.


And you adore sturgeon caviar.
To my unpolished palate,
that's salty clay dipped in tar.


No debate about the agendum.
No dispute in matters of taste:
De gustibus non est disputandum!...

If God did not play Hide & Seek with us
We would see GOD, all of God, nothing else!
So He hides, then gets more elaborate at hiding;
To humans He seems reluctant to be found - as it were -
Those who seek in earnest, will find Him
Because the Game has to end ... and begin again
This is what common people, unschooled, know
Jesus revealed as much about Abba Father; played it best...

In any argumentation,
  none is as unanswerable
    as every diner's opinion;

you gush about that chilled champagne,
  to my uninitiated taste buds
    it's but some bottled, sugared rain;

and you adore sturgeon caviar,
  to my naive, unschooled palate,
    a salty lump of clay with tar;

no debate in the agendum,
  in matters of taste there's no dispute,
    de gustibus non disputandum!...

Wisdom grows alone
darkness eyes attend 
wakes the light slumberer

Deep in wet dreams
respect waves the buried
grounds for divorce

Wind weather attitudes
cries mount
lies draw out

Greens wild the untamed
beast burdens the walled
shaft and base flowers

the unschooled gather names
foothold finds rest
virgin aroused the sleeper

Taste for the end
tomorrow another day
what was paradise?...

That old elf is unschooled, but he taught himself
Has more knowledge than books on a librarian’s shelf
We call him the amazing wizened elf, for he is you see.
Much brighter than my siblings, actually, my whole family.

He can do better surgery than most doctors can do
A self-taught veterinarian, he saved a sheep’s life too
Old elf is in no way slow-witted, illiterate or dim.
For sage advice, the rest of the fey always turn to him....
