A lack of forward planning raised a question just for me What kind of numpty vacuums… THEN sets up the Christmas tree?

Premium Member Thinking of Time

Often I think of time,
collecting clocks
I seldom wind;
hearing chimes where there are none--
like Einstein,
putting ticking space
into vacuums....

Premium Member Killed the Gray Neanderthal Cartoon

Killed the gray Neanderthal cartoon
Rubbed him out with an eraser
Brushed bits of him onto floor
Making a little mess
My husband watched me
Pretty disgusted
He is the one
Who vacuums
living
room

Silence
Vacuums noise
Stillness
Shelters poise


Stillness
Needs no voice
Silence
Seeds new poise


Unseen
Poise knows choice
Within
A deep poise

Premium Member Las Trabajadoras

Limpio, clean up for las trabajadoras
Aqui treinta minutos, I tidy dos horas
Lavo y wash up so they won’t abhor us
Storming mi casa with vacuums in chorus
Valientes, these small but brave luchadoras
Es lunes - vienen las trabajadoras!

1951

Broken in circles,
this
spiral
down.

A remnant, 
a relic,
valid.

A black mass,
in vacuums,
incision.

Specimens,
cultured.

Future calling,
sleep,
docile now,
humble.

Humanity.

The expectancy of life.
This pregnancy of hope.

Labyrinthian Day

The trees
extrude themselves
along the low resistance
pathways in the air.
Nature abhores such vacuums and
fills them with wood.
.
The birds who
inhabit the trees
ride sunlight trails,
slip along transparent
tunnels on the surface of wind.
.

Android Analysis

Is there truth without belief,
 facts left on their own

Disconnected from themselves,
answers poorly shown

Can dogma live in vacuums,
when empty of itself

Will formulaic reasoned minds
—conscript what goes unfelt

Premium Member My Life In An Asylum

In vacuums You don't assume a sonic boom You stay quiet. My cranium echoes a hum that leaves me numb to your edit. 4~12~2014 Maurice Yvonne Sponsor: nette onclaud Contest Name: DESIDERATA (Number 1) 1…” Remember what peace there may be in silence.”

Run Away

I regret not cleaning my room sooner.
When my mom vacuums,
She cleans around the mess.
And the mess climbs.
This house is a maze.
A maze to my room.
We all have rooms.
I should take pride in my room.
But instead I regret…
Not cleaning sooner…
Until it just became easier…
To pack up and leave.

Premium Member I Know a Woman

I know a woman who vacuums her driveway.
I have eight colors of paint on my hands and arms.
I know a woman whose porch is spotless.
An opossum and family of raccoons live on my front porch.
I know a woman who scrubs her kitchen floor daily.
I took a bath yesterday and I still have eight colors of paint on me.

Lunar Surprise

You can’t embrace
the moment forever
whose verity 
at essence ungrained

By definition
it must rename itself
once mentioned
decried and disclaimed

What came upon you
to die in place
where vacuums exit
in time and space

Regenerating
from life’s cocoon
and starting over
—Amayasvan moon

Amavasya

You can’t
embrace reality
forever

Its tenets
restrict
and constrain

By definition
it renames
itself

Once spoken
to then be
disclaimed

What comes
upon you
the moment laced

Where vacuums
exit
in time and space

Regenerates
from life’s
cocoon

In endless
cycles
—moon to moon

Premium Member All About Nothing

A vacuum wanders down the stairs. 
I tell some folk, but no one cares.
It staggers by without a thought.
I contemplate its being… not.

It vanishes, leaves ne’er a clue.
While saying zilch, as vacuums do.

Reflecting back upon the scene,
my eyes were sharp, my mind was keen.
I sensed my heart had not a care,
And then surmised, ‘twas nothing there.

My Husband

My husband likes to vacuum
(Which is good, since I do not).
The rugs are very clean because
He vacuums quite a lot.

He doesn’t dust or clean the stove
Or scrub the sinks or floor
And changing sheets or washing windows
He would think a bore.

He also cooks, so really, 
As for spouses, he’s the best
But he would be just perfect if
He also did the rest.

Anchors

My husband vacuums; I write poems.
Both anchor us each day
And neither one is necessary;
That’s what most would say.

We all have our routines, though,
Things we really seem to need,
So we also daily exercise
And take the time to read.

That feeling of accomplishment
Is an important must
And it doesn’t matter what it’s from,
Including rhymes or dust.

Sympathy for nothingness

The void must be lonely
A hollow bereft of interaction
Bar staring contest

Matter disperses ever further
Expanding empty space
Or it gathers itself into clusters
Still creating a larger volume of nothing

It longs for company, as all vacuums do
In proportion to its vacancy
the end begins at its limits
And finally the attention is served
And thus we all
Embrace the void

What We Do

A rooster struts, an eagle soars,
A caterpillar inches;
A dolphin leaps, a panther slinks,
A crab, if bothered, pinches.

A farmer reaps, a tailor sews,
A chef sautés and seasons;
A dentist drills, an artist paints,
All with their private reasons.

My husband vacuums and he cooks
To keep his psyche going,
While I write rhymes so I’ll recall
Which way the wind was blowing.

Premium Member My Robot Brings me Six Meals a Day

My robot brings me six meals a day
We started out with three, but he was sad
He lives to please me in every kind of way
His baking is good, his frying and cooking not bad

Robot makes my bed, he shines my boots and shoes
Eliminates all doubts, makes me laugh, tickles away my blues
He vacuums and dusts, washes dishes and walks the dog
But his snoring is outrageous, so I make him sleep out by the bog

Where Pigs Fly

The magnitude of ignorance
staggers beyond
the scope of imagining,
a weakening throng

The danger of assumption,
its hard biting edge
empowers deception
shoved over the ledge

The vacuums of denial
we fight to defend
are lost in the moment 
pushed out to the end

This emptiness we carry
and knowledge we fear
footnote our destruction
—as fools shed a tear

Wrinkled Shirt

My shirt is wrinkled – who will see?
No one but my spouse and me
And grandkids, via FaceTime’s screen;
But hey! At least my clothes are clean.

My bed is made, the sink is bare.
It isn’t like I just don’t care,
Though staying in, it’s quite a job
To stop from living like a slob.

My husband vacuums, I wash clothes.
We’re making do, so I suppose
A wrinkled t-shirt’s no big deal – 
My wrinkled face has less appeal!

Hours and Minutes

hours pass like minutes
sucked up in the vacuums of my thoughts
weaving a mesh of entangled webs
I'm in a far place where you get gently touched by lighting ,never struck
where you're like meadows seduce both the hunter and the prey
where lions go vegetarian
where there's no policing of thoughts
no place to hang faults
suddenly there's no room in the room 
cobwebs weave delicately ,where serenity can't but hug lucidity

Freeze Out

Freeze in
The comic tragedy 
Veils of sight
Veils of touch
Veils of motion
Veils of plight
Soul is the sole
Of infinite unity
Wound to one is none
Black hole enveloping 
Vacuums this verse
Snaps this quill
Logic exhausted
Language accosted
Nothingness twisted
Into its shell 
Collapsed to collusion
Erupting diffusion
Equating illusions
Of not being
And being not
Silence is the zero sum
Of answers
On the nature of
Freeze out

Summer Heat

Summer Heat

What could be colder than the sun
Hell froze below all thermals known
Ice cream burns the tongue
Less than zero, the bitter winds begin
Glaciers form on Florida shores
One snow flake at a time
Hurricanes move in opposite directions
Work just like vacuums
Clears the landscape clean of ice and trees
People on the streets shiver at the thought of heat
Ice turns debris and minds to crystal freezers
Under the cover of summer sun
Delirium sets in
