Two Thirds Poems | Examples

Where Are You Now, Gloria Dubbins?

Gloria Dubbins - not much of a name,
but trust me on my judgment, gentle reader;
in terms of Beauty, she was Hall of Fame.

We’re talking – let’s see – nineteen seventy-two,
but I’m the keeper of the Gloria Flame,
and still to me she’s better, and more true,

than all your Taylor Swifts or Amber Heards.
She did the things that gorgeous women do -
in essence, nothing. Gloria had no words.

Intelligence?  Commitment?  Are you kidding?
For babes, that stuff is strictly for the birds.
She sat immobile and observed the bidding.

I’ll tell you this, but won’t apportion blame.
You, too, would be as motionless as cedar
if you’d been dealt her hand, to play The Game.

She’s not the kind you wound up talking to.
Her presence smote you with a sort of shame:
she struck you dumb: the words would not come through.

And Gloria didn’t gravitate to herds.
Perforce, she rowed her own sublime canoe.
Her beauty left her friendless, like the Kurds.

What was her view of Comus?  Little Gidding?
I don’t have – no, I never had – a clue.
Enigma fits her.  Easily two-thirds
of all the girls acknowledged her as leader,
but oddly she was Nothing Like A Dame.

Russell Brand, Ayn Rand and Ray Milland Walk into a Bar

So: thinker, “personality” and actor
	are looking for a drink.
If two of them are trailers, one’s a tractor.
“Nice counter-top. Real zinc?”

“Don’t ask them stuff. They memorise words
	of better men, to spout ’em!”
“And his type feels the need to gather herds
	of sycophants about ’em.”

“There’s zinc in every human enzyme. Fact.”
	“An enzyme? Qu’est-ce que c’est?”
“A catalyst which helps your gut react
	a thousand times a day.” 

Creators are the only ones who matter,
	just them and only them.
Who grows, can know: who knows can grow (and scatter):
	the human apothegm.

“The path from easy living?  Slow decline
	to reach death valley days.”
“Misfortunes? They’re all relative, and mine
	are slight. I’m not from Grays!”

Who hasn’t done his share of Boogie Nights?
	All wassail hours are zeros.
Two-thirds of humankind are parasites:
	where should we look for heroes?

We have a thing now, called celebrity
	that’s not the same as fame:
whatever ape forsakes the tree
	can make himself a name.

The world, for entertainment, craves a schism
	(Max Baer against Joe Louis):
but who foresaw the Queen of Capitalism
	would be a Russian Jewess?

Premium Member Holocaust remembrance day

27 January is known as holocaust Liberation day
The liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp 
Systematic extermination  of jews what can i say
The NAZI regime laying down its stamp

These awful acts carried out around Europe
People being murdered because of religion
No proper food starved of syrup
Living in camps like hells kitchen

6 million Jews exterminated
Two thirds of Europe's Jewish population
The smell of death permeated
It needs to remain in education

Why were the Jewish persecuted
It dates back as far as roman times
The warped idea of man concluded
The Jewish were alleged to commit crimes

The main instigator for this despicable act
The Final solution  incitement off genocide
Was Adolf Hitler this is a fact 
With his tiny mustache and eyes opened wide

The evil within him was totally absorbed
He compared the Jews to being germs
He wrote main kamph  for the record
Antisemitism he took by the horns

Although illegal and somewhat outrageous
Hitler didn't invent antisemitism
Jewish persecution was around in the middle ages
This would now been known as racism

Long Man

I can’t fit inside this lock
I can’t fit inside this sock 
This hole is not meant for me
Body stretching out from me
Out of sync 
Misshapen link
Wash the ink out in the sink
You went day and I went night
I went left and you went right
And everything just looks so wrong
I don’t understand this song 
I am way beyond repair
My liver’s pulling at my hair
My neck is biting at my tongue
My leg is choking out my lung
My hands are fighting with my heart
My pieces mixing with my parts
I’m a jumble mumbled mess
An uneducated guess
I went no and you went yes
You went more and I went less
All tied up and all stretched out
I got lupus I got gout
I don’t fit into this mold
I’m too hot and I’m too cold
I’m lopsided and askew
You went red and I went blue
I went one and you went two
And I don’t know what I should do
Fool me once and fool me thrice
But now I’m chewing on the dice
Rattle brains and saddle lice
Grip my shoulder in a vice
Two thirds left and halfway done
Three makes ten and nine makes one
Now you’ve got me all confused
Now I can’t fit in these shoes
I think that I went too long
I think that I went too long

Premium Member Sacrifice

Swirling, pulsing, and throbbing through air
came a cloud, not quite black, above my bed, 
not closing my eyes and watching in fear, 
Death would be easy but the cloud was my dread.

Looking closer, I viewed a darkening black spot
two thirds of the way down the visage's form.
It grew, spun, shrunk as though it were hot.
My head seemed electric as though in a storm.

I jumped from the bed wanting a fight.
The cloud backed away, I thought setting me free.
I grabbed at its shoulders holding on tight,
Saying Death take no one, but take only me.

I kicked the spot with best martial art, 
thus causing the form to fold with a cry.
We tumbled to hell, there never to part.
I sacrificed life, and in hell I would die.

Premium Member Elements

Existence is the cauldron where elements brew
Earth, water, fire and air, are in space entwined
Each has unique attributes, maintaining life
Cognised by presence when they are aligned

Holy Spirit grazes form, beginning at root of spine
Earth comes alive, as blood begins to flow
Two thirds of the planet is water; we are likewise
We feel in stillness, our sacral water centre glow

Energy ascent continues, igniting fire in the navel
So enlivening and comforting is magnetic heat
But what avail the spark, if there be no movement 
Breeze of air obliges, making our heart upbeat

Thus from root to sacral, navel and then our heart
Grace activates all elements and body glands
Passing through throat corresponding to aether
Into the head ovoid to cognise God’s heavenly lands

Ancient Hermitic wisdom affirms: as above, so below
Made in God’s image, we represent the whole
Five senses, elements and electricities as yet unknown
Oh hermit, we ourselves are the light, scriptures extol

Premium Member In the Canyon

 Distant drums voice sacred song
as didgeridoo drone rings
its messages to my awaiting ears;
ancient ceremonies flood
the canyon in tones of
ancestral wisdom.

Every rock or boulder resonates,
crickets sing along and
each cell of my being is elevated;
I feel the energies of
times long passed;
those speakers of the truth,
as shamanic echoes
transport me to past centuries.

I've hear it said that our cells have memory,
that two-thirds of our brains are not used;
but what if we are simply energy?
I resonate with the past
and visions come.

My Witness

Got into that a mirage
Unmapped in all its grounds
Where no lifeline could exist
Cautious distrust kicking in
An area where sorrows spread
That the beings had spoonfed
A stipulation of a well-crafted hat
Intruding two thirds of real hope
In that frame of mind pinpointed.

Walked through such a path
Paved long enough to the unseen end
Beautiful flowers emerging from sides
Just strongly pouring attractive odours
The fragrances to be sold at no price
That anyone would like to pass through
An amusement of natural adorable sprays
Leaving some marks to get questioned
By the look it expresses over the context.

Seek beyond the best feasible option
Uncharted below infinite water flows
To what the superiors would believe
Self opinions triggering mass faith
A sense to be named as uncommon
That no light ray felt to beam
A true meaning of being fake
Crashing all the Joules by others
To this little significant dot.

Premium Member Disappointing Novel

At the beginning of this novel I had no idea 
The hero would betray the heroine, 
That is not my favorite plot,
matter of fact, it is now my least favorite.

The cover and the synopsis were fastidiously written.
Neither gave this away. I had no idea it was happening.
Two thirds of the way through I think the author thought
Damn! This has to end somehow, but how?

The next time I see this author’s name I will not
take any trouble to buy her book, as a matter of fact,
I will boycott it, thanks to this catastrophe.
Wait a second. She is turning things around again.
More later, I only have two chapters left to go.

Habits

My lungs are black but my heart is pure
My hair is thin and falling out in the wrong places
At this point my days to live are measured with an hour glass 
The size of the smallest taxa 
My memory is a bank of a hundred and one bad choices
Two thirds look like a previous poem I wrote,
 one which I used a cigar to craft the smoke that is to swallow my alveoli whole
I am using one as I write this, and I’ll probably smoke another one after I’m done
These are the habits I have
The habits I adopted from the apple that fell far from the tree,
The forbidden fruit.

Premium Member Cinnamon and Nutmeg To Taste

It's spring and fresh Farmers Market 
asparagus always calls for a quiche, 
so I dig out the May,1986 Milk Calendar  
recipe, you can’t get more Canadian.
We use a pressed wheat germ crust because
we’re not good at real pastry, the secret is
cold hands according to Sarah’s mother
and I guess we’re too hot handed.
Sauté 1 cup of chopped onion, 
lightly steam approximately one 
pound of chopped asparagus and place 
onions and asparagus at bottom of pie crust. 
Beat 3 of our neighbour’s farm fresh eggs
(4 ‘large’ store-bought eggs), then add
two-thirds cup plain yogourt, a cup of milk, 
and a cup and a half of shredded old cheddar cheese
(yes, very much the 1986 Milk calendar but I
did use canola oil instead of butter for the sauté)
a tsp each of salt and dried dill (2 tbsp fresh if available), 
one tbsp Dijon mustard and cinnamon and
nutmeg to taste (in my case this means a lot).
Pour egg mix over onions and asparagus over pie 
(if desired top with a wheel of asparagus spears).
Bake at 375? for 35 minutes, let. cool for 10
and savour the taste of spring.

2020

2020 sample testing slithered onto shore
Gave us all Co-vid, them damn whores

Doesn't matter the ailment prevailed 
When the scary truth is set to sail

Hoping they dont say, "It is Co-vid you got!" 
Vaccination is an undeveloped shot

With many deadly side effects, 
The shot or a virus could kill a suspect

Surrounded by lies about everything 
Circling flies, it's a buzz that stings

The Elites want to kill two- thirds of a planet's people
Note the Georgia guidestones for sheeple

Do some research, read the perspectives
When it comes to truth, media is defective

A farce letting the sheep out of their pens
Social distanced not able to cackle like hens

2021, time to Wake Up! before the slaughter
And save our sons and daughters

Sumatran Elephants

Sumatran Elephants, are critically endangered
and there are local extinctions, in many places
as it is humans, who have willfully managed
to invade their territory, not leaving many spaces

Nearly 70%, of the Sumatran Elephants great habitat
has been totally destroyed, by the now known human rat
 in just one generation, over two thirds of lowland forests
have been willfully razed, for business corporation profits

Humans have built, many pulp and paper industries
and constructed food generation, from oil palm plantations
creating animal, human conflict, over elephant territories
as the destruction of their land, is for human consumption

Only the male Asian Elephants, have those mighty tusks
and this makes them a be target, for the illegal black market
This cuts down their breeding, as they need a lot of conceiving
because the evil bloodline of money, is what humans are greeding
