When April comes
she will do as she pleases
concerning snow or gentle breezes
as for her mood no one can say
she's not as calm as her sister May

Poets are known for temperament
~ like all creative kinds,
Always given to intense argument
~ with those of differing minds.

Poems have long been written
for rebuttal and dissent
By those who have been smitten
who wish to lament,
Poets are known for temperament
like all creative kinds
Always given to intense argument
with those of differing minds,
Or differing views, if you choose,
free speech is highly prized
The most eloquent won’t likely lose
but may be rather surprised.

TEMPERAMENT
influential
crosstalk
expressed
a tinkering
with feelings
in
troubled
&
exhausting
circumstances
encouraging questions
& answers
bringing
an energetic
new resonance
into
strange
images
disintegrating
beyond
the sea
moonlight
into
ironic places
an unpunctuated
reverie
such
a disparate
experience
chaotic
fragmentary
forming a
new
wholeness
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

No holding back,keep on keeping on before the well runs dry.a persistence to say something I feel is right. Inclinations and ideals that meet in perfect harmony, form 7 inner sounds.Pulled up from what is above and contemplate the landscape of my imagination,to show but not tell.Then stimulate the underlying unsaid enigma, this poignant pause, spontaneous and satisfying reveals the beauty of our whole being.Having lit our dreams,this solitary approach ,the freedom to be alone enhances talent, allows free expression of temperament

Telling body expressions
Emanating moods and feelings
Management of reactions to situations
Physical responses to stimulators
Evolving habits in new environments
Rights and wrongs in personal display
Attitudes and attributes in constant formation
Major expressed psychology attached to mentality
Engrossed or evolving character and ideology
Nurturing all in growth, as in
Totality, one’s identity is formed.

Radical, peace and spontaneity bonds together like a wind gusting across an ocean. It's who we are as complex human beings. It's who we endeavor to be as our own unique being.
Often present glimpses of our lives give us little indication to where we are actually going; so amid the complexities, allow your sails to lead you far and wide.

It came into my mind of long ago
How the clothesline held diapers in a row
When on those very cold days of winter
Those diapers dried on folding wooden dryer
Hanging over that ancient floor furnace
While children scattered toys skillfully
Experts were they at their fun time of play
Now there is no very ancient furnace
The children no longer play on the floor
They have gone their very separate ways
Different each in personality
Temperament difference now plainly seen

Decisions, decisions
So much to assess,
So many pitfalls, fear is ubiquitous
What if you open the wrong door?
What if you don’t like what you discover?
Then you just deal with the consequences,
if you leave it close, you will always wonder…
So be bold and open that door
it may augment you and build your character
either way, you’re the winner
because you had the valor
to face the unknown
and the backbone, to face your demons…

Yellow
Sun beaming hot
Irrational thoughts jar
Short tempers flare into raging
Angry words accompany threatening fists
A cool-down period is needed
Bystander stops the fight
Aware the man's
Yellow

Don't be so tortured, passion.
Don't be so metal rimmed in servitude
to all that's over the top and brimming with enigma's breath
Don't be the pump of blood adrenaline
on all the days one might have called
the moon out on her day of death.
Don't be so riddled, passion.
Don't be so all elusively inclined
to all that want a taste of you with grasping hands
Don't be the hide to seek tonight
in all this dark when even stars
grow quaint in the ignite of their demands.
Don't be so waning, passion.
Don't whisk the room in tenderness
past all the sense of first encounter's countenance
Don't rinse the obligated sigh
in love's delight and broken breath
when all we want is permanence.
Don't be so quiet, passion.
Don't leave us here with metal lips
to kiss desire in last good bye's and marriage vows
Don't rinse your hands of us tonight
as we live on adrenaline
and bated tongues immerse you even now...
