Imagination can be a curse.
The worrywart will visualize the worst scenarios.
Wasting the day to oblivion.
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
one plate, a dish, a spoon, a knife
you live for one, there is no wife?
all your art pieces feature only a single
If you go to a party, do you ever mingle?
you have to visualize a life for two
your artwork must be changed immediately too
you have to buy two plates, two dishes and two knives
but please son, do not bring home multiple wives
So trippy pretty.
Wish there were flashing colors
Hypnotizing me
With shining imageries,
Enchanted via drummers.
A to Z 1 to Infinity - , Eureka's;: N O M O?
VOILA!
Being kicked to the curb
while skipping to the loo
my friends.
Now back to my shake and bake,
small town of Hilo,
that sits on the bay
below erupting
Mauna Loa &
the 100+ tremors
daily since it began
this past Sunday late at night.
Aloha Hilo Poet William
Art is a virtue
Still life too realistic
I see the cold insinuations
Yet it too builds a wall
With good intentions
I push the brush
And dip into lush hues
Painting to my hearts consent
Then words hush
I sit in solitude as well
And think
Critiques are in my head
It's LINE I define
I break it up
I continue to paint
Changing definition instead
I see space an element
It grabs me
I embrace my brush again
It overwhelms me
Painting hues
I see the virtue
It is my dream
Though it may seem
The artists hands
Predominant
The ideal
See the painting
Each stroke made it real
And the desire
It then became
Evident.
Visualize and Realize
You is something that you must visualize,
And while you are at it be sure to realize;
Ugly as can be,
Started to see;
I did become a devil who was in disguise.
James Serious Mysterious Horn

Visualize being your best
Then go for it
Have that fire
Continue to aspire
Climb that mountain
Strive for greatness
Just reach higher
Be the one to inspire
Sitting on the chair ,combing her lustrous hair
awaiting for her love to caress her,
lost in the thoughts of their togetherness.
But suddenly the room turned dark,
she heard footsteps and through the
light from the windows she could see a shadow
she jumped on to her chair with fast pounding heart
and felt a tap on the shoulder,freaked out
looked at the person--
it was her BOSS who woke her up from her fantasy,
looking furious ,asked her to finish the project.

What rising doubt does cast such fear
That wills I dare not sink to feel,
But take to heights above harms reach
From that first step to tempt my fate.
I cling to pain, this bond so real, that knows,
This is my next best chance to fail.

The add said," Need model, eight hours, no nudes
No mention anywhere about bringing toe shoes
I should've taken a moment to pin up my bangs
These artists must be thinking I look rather strange
It would've been easier in a different pose
They draw so slowly and I feel quite exposed
These cramps in my toes are really starting to ache
Now I'm wondering how long before I get a break
The man said five hundred dollars is what the job pays
Which is good because I won't be walking for days
by Daniel Turner
Learn how to see
Then let things be
Know that you know
More than you show
Live in that light
That shines most bright
Pain helps you gain
The truth laid plain
Do fund each act
With profound tact
All in good time
The tale now rhymes
See beyond sight
To know the light
Live with bold heart
Let love flame art
Time and space merge
In lovely surge

Visualize a soldier in combat,
looking far with a camouflaged helmet:
fingers on the trigger, always ready on its target;
to shoot, if anybody attacks!
Fearful soldier, don't lose heart:
your patriotism is perceived well,
and another medal will add more pride...
to substitute it for any unspoken lie;
a hurtful lie which seems too evident in every fright:
for serving your country and going through hell!
Soldier, you have turned twenty today,
and your hidden fears are many;
and the vibrant youth which was
meant to be lived by experiencing joy and being care-free:
is the remotest dream in your pensive and lost gaze...
amid echoing blasts at the break of day!
Visualize a soldier in combat, shivering inside,
gathering up more courage to win the last fight...
too frightened to scream and cry aloud;
not so afraid to kill...in order to survive!
Soldier, have faith and believe you'll live to see again
those distant faces that cried on your farewell;
they haven't forgotten you....as you haven't: all the long letters,
written with warm tears, still have that special place in their hearts!
