Chronos~w

A new poetry form mathematically based on pi squared
Lasingerland, the Netherlands, by Bianca and Alexa shared
It gives off a limerick vibe
which is the only form that I can describe
to which it can be compared

W S Rendra translation of 'Hai Ma' or 'Hi Mom'

My English translation of "Hai Ma" by W. S. Rendra, a son to his mother and soulmate.

HAI MA ("HI MOM")
by W. S. Rendra
translation by Michael R. Burch

for Zeelhan Zahraa

Mom,
It's not death that disheartens my heart
but a lifeless life, a life unlived
because life loses its power and nature.
There are nights when I walk these corridors
with nowhere

What Is Your C W D

What is your C.W.D. 
Not all problems have to be negative. 
Sense of self. 
Self worth. 
Sense of identity. 
The real me. 
Value of life. 
Rejected from society. 
Mental compulsion. 
Going in circles. 
Don’t forget O.C.D. 
(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)  
Shattered dreams. 
Holding on to the past. 
Just a pen in hand. 
Mistakes to learn.

Premium MemberEverybody Is Destroying Haiti

Anmweyyy, anmweyyy
Everybody is destroying Haiti
Please stop, stop, quit. At last, give the country
A break, a rich season. There are too many bandits, vandals
Too many lootings, thefts, too many crises and scandals
On this impoverished and exploited island
Give Hayti a chance to live better. Give our land
A break with too much violence and injustice
Ayiti needs peace, love

Her Smile

Her smile, the softly ringing bells of her laughter, the newly discovered talismans against encroaching death.

The delicate light, faint but growing, that first lit and warmed her own glowing freckled skin, danced in her eyes like the sea in the summer, bounced off the glints of auburn in her hair until she seemed lighted from

Getting thangs 2-gather

Gold per ounce the weight of
the trophy
Sake denounced the intent of
The Songbird
Might love pronounce me in
announcement
Closer than my goals
to achievement 
Inspiration inspire
to such elevations
To make envy those
who opposed me
Inspiration quiet my foes
Into shame
Might they stand in such
Awe of me
Inspiration make my way
Clear, unopposed I might
Sooth my way clear
Might I stand to thank
thee
Inspiration make me
Worship thee

Sparks aflame my sanctuary 
Flickering, roaming glints 
Over valleys of bygone years 
So long kept in shadows

Traversing the bleakest darkness 
Where heat of love evades 
As the cool of Prussian blue night 
Forms a silky silent shroud

Unravelling threads of sorrow's blinding 
Guiding me from night to day 
And through the hush, a glow emerges 
Soft

Of canberra.' Where they exported a pics-ean high fountain
Just like the one in geneva.. It springs to mind? Over an

Soon will dawn Australia day.' A date on the calender some
Pages away..Its the first poem from me, on this holiday
In the past I was not one (for its celebration lets say?) Yet
Decades have sifted me.' Experience has shifted me.! I
Feel for the past though I will say.' It has been a hard go! and
Most challenging

Mini mangy monster Marvin moo
Nearly never noticed anything new
Outrageously outgoing onset overdue
Plunking his plush posterior on a pew
Quizzically questioning Curly-Q
Respecting ruffians Brew, Grue and Rue.
Shimmying and shaking shivering Sue and Stew
Teaching talented Tommy Treachery too
Uniting understudies under the letter U
Vaporizing validation veering into valley view
Welcoming wild werewolf wearing blue.
