Topical Poem

Never have I seen trouble as deep as 
The catastrophe in Tamaulipas.
I chanced on a 6-kilometer crack -
A lot of information to unpack.
If you fall into the crack, it seems,
You'll be in China or the Philippines.
I tell you straight, put it on the level -
It is either drainage or the devil.

Topical Connecting Loving Hearts-

Two beating hearts
 together on top
atop of each other doesn't impart 
love and yet two faces that stare 
Through their eyes, they see each other's souls 
Hearts beating fast allows their auras to glow

Topical Or Tropical No Biggie

Will we use something tropical? The novice nurse asked her.
Carmae secretly rolled her eyes knowing Scarlet meant topical.
However, she did not correct her, because this was her first day.
She would gently incorporate the correct word later in her learning.
She knew Scarlet would pick up on it, they always did, eventually.

This fresh young thing was not

 FALLEN GINSBERG COINS “” INTO POETRY,
Our college creative-writing professor
Announced in 1972,  to our class of hippie poets, 
Like me, who didn’t quite see
The big deal, because we were establishing 
That outrage into every sentence of all
Conversations spoken across the world; 
That (I hadn’t even known)  it was banned

Winds, Trees, Me and You

sudden gusts of Fall -
green heroes fall in twos, threes
yes, trees, and you, me

Notice the saplings sway
With the winds ways, unbroken
Resist and old limbs fall

I Washed My Hands

I washed my hands this morning when I visited the loo,
Then went and touched the tap, which you really shouldn’t do,
And then I scratched my nose, because I had an itch, 
Then with my bare hands I went and pulled the switch!

And then I went and sneezed, with no tissue close to hand
Whilst holding the

Topical Waters of My Heart

TOPICAL WATERS OF MY HEART

casting beauty on
top the waters of my heart
must not wet my mind

for the emotions 
they are real and yet dried up
mustn't get caught up

caught in heartaches drought
they are real and yet dried up
waters of my heart

Topical Tree Poetry - Deforestation

DEFORESTATION
~~
Topical Tree Poetry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deforestation rife!
From copse to woodlands
And trees on their own suffer the knife!
Deforestation rife!
Rainforest to jungles,
Arboretums to parklands suffering strife
Deforestation rife!
There is suffering unseen.
To all macro, micro, wildlife.
Deforestation rife!
The whole world pays,
yes you, if you're married your wife.
Deforestation rife!
Nothing is safe, trees breathe for the world.
Time we all stopped living a trife life.
Deforestation rife!

The Topical Tree Poetry -The Joy of Life

THE JOY OF LIFE
SNOWBALLING


~~~~~~~~~~

the joy of life
snowballing
I've tried and tried to entice
belief in that all snowballs end up thawing
the joy of life
is quickly going to disappear
I've tried and tried to entice
belief in our need for fresh air
the joy of life
is hanging by a thread
I've tried and tried to entice
to do what's right before we all

Tropical Topical

Taming a tropical topical tree? Taking a trunk? Telling a tailor? Traversing a tale? Many ideas. Much like the ideological dramas of a beach front. Wavelength of winds. Movements if the tides. Coconuts can jump very high if wearing leotards but leotards are prohibited at various times during the year. It is quite impossible to

Topical

There is something to be said for the upper middle boy who fails.
You know the one 
Going through his twenties 
Supported by his parents 
but can’t commit to a job if it killed him. 
If his father had more connections he would get him one
but he is not as rich as he seems to many.

Ilenes Topical Fruit Market

Poetry for your consumption.
A daily dose of vitiman gumption.
The store is open, so come on in.
Say, heres a napkin, you've got some on your chin.

She's located just outside your mind.
She seems to always see what you can't find.
I know, I've searched so many times.
But have never found what she so easily rhymes.

She's been open now
