In memoriam of Eerie
Some feelings give us the illusion
they will last forever the same.
It is a misleading conclusion
that you will always remain
present among us, online,
the NaPoWriMo supervising
adding abundant lines
of quality poetry and analyzing
in beautiful comments,
enriching the community,
your gifted moments
... seemed so immune to it.
Thank you for your heritage here.
The Deep Underground of Poetry.
Your trace cannot be repeated but shared
between us members, in your loving memory.
I wish I could...
they will last forever the same.

Zephyr
Passing through a bed of flowers
The gentle wind here blows
Ruffling petals in the breeze
With a sweet scent that flows
Wherever the current takes it
From this river to the meadow
Blossoms dance with vibrance
A breezy ambiance grows
The posies are an assortment
Some red, some pink, some yellow
Grateful for mother nature’s gifts
All that I can see from my window
The gentle wind here blows
Ruffling petals in the breeze
With a sweet scent that flows
Wherever the current takes it
From this river to the meadow
Blossoms dance with vibrance
A breezy ambiance grows
The posies are an assortment
Some red, some pink, some yellow
Grateful for mother nature’s gifts
All that I can see from my window

april songs (Theme 3): attitudes of life 4
april song 24—all my ambitions
you would think not that fire born in my blood
gives me wise counsel over ill and good;
the choices that i make are sacrosanct
though, as a dreamer, i am humbly ranked.
all my ambitions ache to reach their goals,
though i must navigate fate’s deep potholes.
nor do i wish, nor do i merely hope;
for noble ends are not for those who grope,
but those who put the shoulder to the wheel,
to challenge failure for the golden seal.
i seek not praise for merely coexisting
with life’s ambiguous...

And Finished - NaPoWriMo 30
Upon reaching journey's end,
no sense of exhaustion or over exertion,
instead
Mild surprise at the distance travelled
and creeping realisation that
the finish line has been reached
with no need
to keep the pace any longer,
with idle thoughts
of what to do next
at a more leisurely speed
but this time
without the need for marked progress.

Book of Life
My hair
is being pulled
by the winds
of time
Stories
once written
in this book
of life
For every
other page
there’s a
raging storm
The paper
soaking wet
raining tears
that transform
These chapters
of my life
that I made
it through
Lessons
repeated
until I found
the truth:
I am
the author
I see all
the patterns…
That day
the
hourglass
shattered

confessing need...
30 of 30
maybe it's considered distasteful
admitting this...
but what the hell
I'm just gonna own it
it won't be the first time...
my undiluted truth spilled out
leaving a stain upon the ground
for uneasy eyes to scuttle around
it's just how it is...
I've accepted that
I have a need...
to be heard...understood...
...dare I say it...
...seen
to have confirmation
that I matter in some manner
even in the slightest capacity
...in an external context
outside my own head ...

Letter to Me
You don’t have to earn it.
Not by impressing people
with your heartfelt writing or singing
your physical feats or keen observations
Not by making them laugh
with your silliness and charm
Not by helping them out
with your professional competence
or deep-diving intellect.
You have all these things
(yes, you do)
but they are not tools
to earn love and value.
They are results of the fact
that love is already there.
Your only job
is not to hinder it with your...

Feral Furphy

Feral Furphy
In the scientific realm
of impossibilities,
2 sides of the coin
exists for this thought …
I wonder if animals, pets
formulate opinions
As sentient beings,
they definitely have
likes and dislikes
a wide range of feelings
some, even
complex emotions
But what would it take
for them to have
an opinion!
For humans,
most of our tastes
are stuck in our
mouths

Condemned
hanging around
like a
condemnèd man
waiting on
that noose
under this
black hood
my heart
is thumping
tho i'm
hardly breathing
oh silence

end all
the torture
of life
bury each
painful memory
just release
everything
please
no more
enough
has been
done here
time
to let
it go

Body
Every so often I’m reminded
of the fact that I have a body.
Today, it hurts.
It’s my own damn fault –
dashing through forest
up and down hills
over roots and mud
for over two hours
will do that to a body.
And I relish the feeling.
Not because I enjoy pain,
but because it means I’m still here
and I get to inhabit this miraculous form
that can smell peace in the spruce trees
see joy in ripples on the streams
and I get to test
what else it can achieve and endure.

Rhyme and no punishment - NaPoWriMo 29
If you've got the rhyme
I've got a pun-ishment
for the word crime,
a little lyrical larceny like
borrowing a syllable or two
with tread oh so catlike,
steal some semblance
reappropriated on credit
to forge resemblance,
For if you've got the time
to indulge in a little act
of a linguistic word crime,
and other such misdemeanours
acquiring at four note discount
taking the meter to the cleaners.

In the year, 2124
(a lot less than 6 Trillion miles)
Although I won’t be around
in corporeal terms
I might want to stick around
witness the universal source
employing its version of a
rifle sniper sending a
projectile to earth
(a large asteroid mass ejected
from a white hole, perhaps?)
enabling an
evolutionary reboot
this, providing we,
the so-called dominant
predators,
haven’t FRIED the planet
before the infinite
source considers taking us
out,...
