PRIDE COMMENTARY
My reluctance and refusal to transgress
After I have already progressed
Cannot be deemed an attitude, character, personality, nor trait
Of Pride - but one of humility and respect
Both - for the Creator and for self...
It's a complete surrender - not to senseless selfishness
But to meaningful selfless-ness...
Pride hides behind the dark, thick curtains of self-dependency
and self-reliance. Humility shines its light on one's plans
Knowing our plans are co-dependent on the Creator
Who determines the every step of a being's daily life's...

HAPPY SPRING DAYS
Happy colors bloom in spring
As bumble bees and hummingbirds step out to sting
Pretty trees all dressed with their leaves
Poignant silence drifts at ease
Yes! Rustled silence drift with breeze
Springtime bursts with vibrant hues
Pastel pinks, blues and yellows too
Ravens, foxes, and easter bunnies
Introduce themselves in springtime funnies
Napping, hopping, nibbling honey
Gone are the days of winter shunning!
Days of spring last not so long
Are here today and tomorrow gone
Yelp and play and sing and shout
Spring...
As bumble bees and hummingbirds step out to sting
Pretty trees all dressed with their leaves
Poignant silence drifts at ease
Yes! Rustled silence drift with breeze
Springtime bursts with vibrant hues
Pastel pinks, blues and yellows too
Ravens, foxes, and easter bunnies
Introduce themselves in springtime funnies
Napping, hopping, nibbling honey
Gone are the days of winter shunning!
Days of spring last not so long

ATTN DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER (ADHD)
The boy was as quiet as a viper
Often talkative and very hyper
One thought crossed another
One topic intercepted the other.
Running…Running…Racing thoughts
Way too many to be caught.
He jumped and jived that young little boy
Who had ways of being cunning and coy!
Poor little fellow…they gave him pills
To settle him down and stay still!
“He lacks attention!”
“He needs detention!”
That’s what they thought and said
About the boy’s mind and head!
In a closet, I was found
Needing a break from all sound ...
Often talkative and very hyper

POLL: THE PRODUCTION LINE
PROMOTION
Speech much like inciting a rebelion
words full of sanctimonius wrath
a form of disguise, substituting motivation
— hear yeah, the wisdom of the righteous
candidates selling themselves off
as the champion of your interest
SALES
The exercise of free choice in democracy
is much like a market of monopoly
where choices are limitted edition only
— vote yeah, the brand of oligarchs
greedy crocodiles who gave away money
In public coffers they profitted greatly
AFTER-SALES ...

Seeing the beauty
A man of many words can inspire lots
with a tiny verse of courage,
A woman has finely tuned emotions,
With unfathom pinpoint intuition,
A neutral being is beautiful to,
With insight to equality,
A naturouse plant that grows all over,
With undying growth, lifes quality,
An for the animals that roam this earth,
Your so wondrous an natural.
There's so much beauty in the world,
From urban town, to land rural,
Keep and accept all the beauty
That you find and seek, for this will,
Enrich your soul and Life's being.

THE ARTISTRY OF SILENCE
He filled the echo of silence
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
each echo soud of the selah
.
The beautiful artistry of the echoing silence
Resounded as a hollow sound
Bounced back against the concrete temple walls
With the silver-tints of the soft winds
From his flute.
With the scented incense
Of his sweet-sounding flute
which decorated
each echo soud of the selah
.
The beautiful artistry of the echoing silence
Resounded as a hollow sound
Bounced back against the concrete temple walls
With the silver-tints of the soft winds
From his flute.

Shimmering Sea
I watch it all around me
this deep shimmering sea
how these waves roll
with a silent wisdom to extol
Out to where ocean meets sky
a thousand sparkling diamonds try
to make their singular point
make this moment then anoint
When ancient mariners learned
as a silent sun burned
high above the waves
leading to forgotten enclaves
Islands dotting the blue map
as I seek to fill in the gap
between here and now
between sword and plow
Learning a little from each
as I again strive to reach ...

FADED GLORY
There it stood on its pole
The red, white, and blue of old
Waving violently against the wind
As it found itself hinged
Intertwined by the blowing air.
The Old Faded Glory still waving there.
Many days of old have come and gone
Standing proud during each patriotic song
The emblem of American ground
Rippling the outroar cries of the warfare sound
Of long ago…dating back centuries of time.
Once gallantly and vibrantly you did stand
When soldiers encamped to conquer the land.
Yet, here you are…still standing as you wave ...
The red, white, and blue of old
Waving violently against the wind
As it found itself hinged
Intertwined by the blowing air.
The Old Faded Glory still waving there.
Many days of old have come and gone
Standing proud during each patriotic song
The emblem of American ground
Rippling the outroar cries of the warfare sound
Of long ago…dating back centuries of time.
Once gallantly and vibrantly you did stand
When soldiers encamped to conquer the land.
Yet, here you are…still standing as you wave ...

Brandenburg Gate
The air seems stale
The light is clouded
With the heavy veil
Of a broken fate
I walk the gallows walk
One step at a time
Closer to freedoms tale
Of the Brandenburg Gate
The air is fresher the dreams are brighter
The love is sweeter and destiny higher
The pain is lessened and the people don't hate
The long gallows walk to the Brandenburg Gate
The light is clouded
With the heavy veil
Of a broken fate
I walk the gallows walk
One step at a time
Closer to freedoms tale
Of the Brandenburg Gate
The air is fresher the dreams are brighter
The love is sweeter and destiny higher
The pain is lessened and the people don't hate
The long gallows walk to the Brandenburg Gate

Footprints Through Napo
Littered ideas
Escaped thoughts
A prisoned mind
Comfort zones
Breathing space
Poetically aligned
Tune out the world
Silencio
Peace be still
Moonlight gazing
Lunar bathing
Determined will
Thank God for school
Kids are gone
Time to think
I'm caffeinated
Motivated
Poems in sink
Walk the dog
Inhale the brainstorm
Brace for calm
Crack those words
Unvault the vowels
Reapply lip balm
Stress be free
Don't bother me
I must...

Along Came A Poem
Laying in my bed
Braindead
Wondering what it was you said
Body numb
Blood pumping like a drum
Must be this rum
Doodling misguided fingers on my keys
Help me please
Motivated pleas
Arthritic knees
The atmosphere is cold
This thought just got old
Creeping through my letters in bold
Give me a minute and hold
Hold onto this nonsensical grammar
Reign your judges down Thors hammer
My mindset is typically caught in the slammer
What a clamour?

Maltese Breeze
The cool salty sea air
has a certain flair
a certain je ne sais quoi
any time of day
For defiance is all around
this bold intrepid ground
where knights and emperors
did once roam
Battles fought then won
beneath the bright sun
beneath the Maltese Cross
where courage still remains
A crossroad for the world
with each flag unfurled
within the broad harbor
astern on each rigged ship
While I sit in this sidewalk cafe
at the end of a splendid day
sad to...
