YOGI SAYS
Life’s all ups-n-downs
These states seem to be a fact
If you are human
What is the wise thing to do?
When you’re not down be UP!

A Yogi was ranting in Parma
How Trump is interpreting Dharma
For goodness' sake
Give Trump a break
Nobody on earth wants Trump's karma!

Yogi Bear to me is as close as family
Out in the backroads of my youth
Grew with me through the years
I’ll always have that soft spot in my heart

The Indian guru's
mantra of the day,
tho' somewhat strange,
goes this way...
'When words fail
and at a loss,
contemplate aural hygiene
with transcendental floss.'

In the circus- an unexperienced and very scared yogi,
Just walked on huge pile of the burning coals!
He cried of course, when saw his legs are smoky,
My reader! Can you to do the same? You got a ba-ls?

Swastika Girls
In the Valley of Swat
The Holy Ghosts of rishis dwell
After all this time
All these changes
Nothing can erase
The lingering scent
Of gnosis

Yogi once said, “he hits from both sides of the plate
He’s amphibious!” that's true genius, no debate
Many great quotes
Came out of his throat
“so I’m ugly, I never saw anyone hit with his face”

Yogi and Boo Boo
catching a choo choo
going to the zoo
since cartoons are through
Writer's note: This came to me last week I was so inspired I even got 2 tee shirts made with that poem on them for my wife and I.

A yogi named Haridas, in 1837
provided a powerful demonstration.
He went into a trance.
Was buried alive.
Wax filling his eyes, ears,
mouth and nose.
After guarding the grave
for forty long days.
He was dug up, unharmed and arose.

Yogi Bear was named after this famous New York Yankee
Twas Yogi Berra, hearing him speak you never be cranky
A real fun loving soul
With a heart of pure gold
His goofy wit had his teammates forever needing a hanky

("Lone Pine", 2024, original pen and ink with encaustic mat)
Manzanita
Manzanita
atop a slight rise
forms a natural shrine
The place a person
could place an offering
or say a prayer
The place a meditator
would sit
and become a buddha

Butterfly stomach
Evolves the
Nympho of poetry
Jumping
Around the
Mystical forest
Inside my
Neurotic soul.
Been
Articulating the sounds of
Raindrops
Tearing from my soul.
Lactating acid
Evaluates my pooling eyes ... the nympho sits
Yogi style on a piece of poetical digesting bread.

Loug And Doug
Pleasant gentlemen both, broad shouldered and tall
Good sports who respect the umpire's call
Playing the game with pride and joy
Sincerely humble, never coy
Staunch New Yorkers with their eyes on the ball

"The world is, as we are" - Yogi Maharishi.
Everyone will know if you have won a jackpot,
but a few will know if you have found God
in the misty mountains of Tibet.
People can tell you that you are doing fine,
while they know your mortgage will run
you bankrupt.
We know others' lives more and better than we know ours.
Welcome to the society we've made for ourselves...

Free verse
A hush of silence settles down,
Broken by the soft gurgling waters,
Mellowed by the yogi's muted chants,
Without a soul to hinder his prayer;
Intellect perceptions intact,
Awake to supreme joys of knowledge,
Remains calm in tranquility,
Unhindered by all the worldly lusts;
Attains eternal peace within,
Karma of knowledge and devotion.
Gita: Eternal Peace Chapter 2 verse 70

it's the understanding
o noise surrounding
it on all sides
especially inside
the art of noise
is palette of colors
energetically abstract
on its canvas is beauty
a pushing through
relaxed eyes catching
the rhythm of the
piece as peace
every movement
fade into another
until it all flows as
gently as cool breeze
brushstrokes and colors
and flow and limbs
becomes a dance
of contentment

(This is a fictional poem)
My wife and I were sitting on a blanket that we laid on the grass.
Yogi Bear tried to steal our picnic basket so I shot him in the ___.
He grabbed the picnic basket and started to run.
That's when I nailed him in the ___ with my gun.
He steals picnic baskets when he's only supposed to eat berries and nuts.
You'll recognize him if you see him because he's the bear with a bald butt.

Rhyme
(Dedicated to William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.)
You created Yogi Bear, the Flintstones and other cartoons.
When the two of you died, it was sad and it was too soon.
One of you died in 2006 and the other died in 2001.
Your cartoons provided children with hours of fun.
The entertainment world suffered a great loss when the two of you died.
Other cartoonists cannot out do you no matter how hard they've tried.

Impression is for now.
Trust is for the future.
Impression,
contentment,
ego-compressing precession,
is for breathing out ego-now and eco-here listening;
Trust,
compassionate co-arising recession,
is for breathing in the future.
Extrapolations
of a Yogi Positive Energy tea-bag
as read,
and preferably incarnated,
by Jonathon Wilcox,
breathing in impressions
breathing out democracy-building trust.

COPLA CUARENTA Y CINCO: This Bad Guy World
If all the people on this Earth
Decided to believe in One God:
Guess who jobless
Sure, humans need caring from birth
Not at the cost of sparing rod:
Coax hate madness
Who will speak for the Almighty
Must show proof of saintly presence:
Loin-cloth yogi
Not that there weren’t some thought saintly
They served lepers not malevolence:
Power hungry
