Early viewpoint set,
     Made so by a high
          opaque wall,
Yet spilling gold
     And lighting the upper edge,
Twilight had a delayed start.

Premium Member Medusa Is Loose

You were a close friend. 
Until my viewpoint differed from theirs.
Your tiara turned into snakes.
Envenomed my peaceful place.
In turn, I gifted you a mirror.

VIEWPOINT

Some poets see life in concepts, metaphor and feelings
Others in cold facts and a sharp monochrome reality
Yet there is a welcome for both in communications

Alone, Not To This Angel

Alone, he is not
To another eye.
Of whose crossing, these two banks
Firm, cloudy connects.

I own that angel's
Orthodox viewpoint.
I, whose hand now, in guiding
Take. And home directs.
Form: Rhyme

Rambling Birds In Flight

Fluttering wings rise
High viewpoint gentle senses
Float across the sky

Joy and fulfillment
Love, trust, peace and weightlessness
Rushing, gliding wings

Thanks for the inspiration!

Premium Member A Poetic Viewpoint

life ...
      'twixt & 
 between 
anarchic 
        asides 
pricking 
balloons :
so easy 
    on the eye 
wry smiles 
otherness

held on ...

A good beyond the good

In a given context, when we isolate a situation from a viewpoint where we're standing, that we hold ourselves open to the possibility that there is a good beyond the good that we can perceive with our limited understanding.

Premium Member Moon above crooked pumpkins

The artistic viewpoint
Slightly skewed
Somewhat short
Just past the “two’s”
Water colors
On a white fridge
A bit a-kilter
Pumpkin heads
A blur of witches
‘Gainst the moon
O’er dripping leaves
‘Neath artist’s eyes

Soul, Wait Out This Viewpoint

Soul, wait out this viewpoint.
What nights, above grave
And piercing it
With stars' radiance
As deep entrance;

Strikes for its saving trust
Through a death-mist is
Angel-revealed.
Whose heavenly eyes
Are calmly wise.

Premium Member To Name a Thing

Each of us, will move to name a thing 
before or as it comes and is gone again.

In that moment we are here by proof 
of exchange only 
in the memory of having so been named 
as not. 

while all of language rushes by
 
Am I the only word that waits, 
unspoken.

The Politeness of Death

Polite to me and tall in gesture fair, 
Offering openness to my raw feelings, 
Leaving nothing behind but a lectern, 
Insisting on my viewpoint and reeling; 
Tough on that, and unable to retract, 
Energy for my memories so compact.
Form: Acrostic

Me And Others Life's Viewpoint

The things I observes,
Become the observer and the observed
They become part of my personality
To the eyes of others,
I become the subject and the object
To them comes the subjective or the objective view
And as I see them too,
Any judgement comes from me I demote or promote.

Sunset

SUNSET

Squinting at a blinding white sun
The whole of planet Earth turns
And from the viewpoint of us all
A fiery giant ball of red and gold
Dips so slowly below the horizon
Until the merest sliver disappears
And recognises time for darkness
Leaving a crescent moon smiling
sun

Premium Member Meta Visioning

Perception pours back and forth, amid the windows and the eyes and where is mind between them both? Between body and soul what we may see has many meanings we’ve yet to know; look carefully between the panes, examine study every winding road; conceptualism’s highly untamed.

Just Nine Lines

Lonely 
          Bride cautiously
         Conquers her denial
     Light drives her to understand so
She recognizes her pink-tinted viewpoint
    Yet the costume highlights stubborn
              Arguments thus created 
                Staying bright yet
                        Lonely

Premium Member An Educated Man

the mark
of an educated man
is his ability
to listen
to another's viewpoint
without rancor

no matter
how obnoxious
or foolish

not out of kindness
or respect 
to social convention

but with genuine interest

for only in that way
is it possible
to further
his education

Looking At Last School Photo - a.b.

This far have stood back from, life
Its lonesome edge
As dimly seen, there overhung
Was sought by none.

A scary viewpoint. Fright's own!
I invited.
Away from all; their noises.
But one; voice's

If but heart-echoingly
Which place, haunted
Shook out winds, as whisper-shy
A teared reply.

An Attitude of Gratitude

possess a disposition of agreeability
have a position of hospitality
take a stance on being pleasing
with an outlook of sound reasoning
a viewpoint of compassion
an aspect of courtesy
a posture of kindness
and stand on congeniality
to have an attitude of gratitude
to always be kind
to love your fellow man 
to always have God on your mind

Parallax in optics:
   Perceived objects vary.
      Pendulums swing from your
         Pivot points unique from
      People who don't concur.
   Perhaps your relative
Perspective is correct.

God the Dad

If God is actually Jesus' dad,
would he really get so mad?
If someone with him didn't agree,
would he, perhaps, the other viewpoint see?
Do you think he'd look down from heaven's height,
and everything he saw he'd want to smite,
why would he on them want to jump,
and fire and brimstone on them dump?
Surely such havoc he would never wreak,
would he not just turn the other cheek?
Form: Rhyme

Lonely Eyes

Peeping to the sky:
Beating wings of twilight
Leading home, the birds 
Horizon, engulf the ember Sun.
Invitation of the dying day
Give rise to a tranquil bay.
Putting me in the battle
Of: need and happiness. 

Every viewpoint 
From the hot iron pan
Searching those mountains
Of a distant homeland
Cool breeze along with
Perfumes of spring woods
Memories of myrtles
Holding back to hear:
Cooing, Cuckoos.

Premium Member Double Standard

Double Standard? Tom’s Opinion 4/29/2020 She makes charges, He denies. Fair minded people report the facts, but the national media is disingenuous, spinning everything to fit a narrative that often portrays their own viewpoint. Listening to the accuser has now become dependent upon what network is asking the question. Each person should be measured with the same yardstick!
