Testing
a test for the best
whether it be of my chest
as I have fessed
imperfection of quest
or other things I've messed
but careful, invading my nest
that I have professed
despite the jest
I consider myself blessed
you might have guessed
for I ride the crest
of waves request
I pound my breast
at a celebrative fest
fancifully dressed
admittedly, self-impressed
with explosive zest
I deplore the arrest
that questions me, lest
I am evaluated at rest
I am a momentary pest
of little emotional rest
and time is pressed
planning I wrest
I wear my vest
of many colours, so acquiesced
the buttons are stressed
my waistline assessed
these issues addressed
as I consider abreast
what I digest
regardless of detest
These inquiries you invest
that you have candidly expressed
the results will ingest
many facets compressed
into a conclusive bequest
of a continued contest
examinations to infest
my brain obsessed
with visions west
an adventurous protest
which makes me suggest
that I might be suppressed
but that would make me depressed
positive ideas would congest
but love I have finessed
to inspire me, never to molest
the winds from the northwest
cool my thoughts possessed
as the survey has progressed
thought fibres tressed
I have never confessed
limitations oppressed
but they have coalesced
into a humorous retest
of my faculties recessed
though never repressed
my confidence caressed
never for anyone to divest
I am not oppressed
from these challenges transgressed
as the results have coalesced
into something dispossessed
But I have digressed
I must leave, for I am undressed...

Testing
Testing. testing
for what I ask
to see if I fit
into your complicated life?
Why don't you accept me
for what I am
after all
I could be a knife
slippery and sharp
and menacing you know
I could be rough
and mean in spirit
and preoccupied with vice
and superfluous things
and vain and careless
and proud to mirror it
but I think you are fine
and sweet and nice
and I enjoy your company
and silly pranks
you make me laugh
and feel relaxed
so accept your life
and my honest thanks
I am here for while
how long I don't know
so let's have fun
with wild oats to sow!!

Rebecca's Cave
Rebecca has walked
on an arthropod path
in sea of forbiddden weed
of golden spiders wrath
a treasure crawling
with fangs of venom
to islands of fear
in a craggy oaks plenum
like wooden snakes
spindly and stubborn
a rigid web is formed
the avenues adorned
with rubied clusters
jewels to entice
a warning light
for greeds large price
the passages claimed
by spirits of doom
Rebecca's courage is calmed
by her hearts pure room
Wonder and sharing
in a world of presage
universal allegience
is a soulful massage...

Borders
Why are there borders
they seem to cause harm
silly divisions
that bring them to arms
religion and poverty
hatred and prejudice
leading these places
to a frightful precipice
these lines often happened
so long ago
they make little sense now
with old cities below
so many wars
and needless death
but the demarcations remain
in weakness of breath
it could be said
they are experimental lines
for practising peace
and humanitarian signs
I hope this is true
so we can survive
in this universe of turmoil
a joyous solution we strive

Sand Castle
This ode
so many stories it tells
in my tragedy
no matter what
my soul remains
with what I love
nothing leaves
it only disappears
in mysterious silence
the ruins of home
as I spin away
lying on the shore
time unknown
my bed with you
whoever you are
I hear the song
keeping me awake
in rapids rhythm
a lullaby of death
from my cradle past
the rock remains
passionate spills
over rocks of sand
eroding my present
I envision others
but they do not talk
as I sleep in wonder
I weep as a tree
speechless in ardor
streams of magic

I Did Not Know
assimilation
a snail's breath
in fresh water
avoiding death
limpets and ram's horns
lungs adorned
from the pond
a bladders wand
pulmonata
the mantle's thin wall
gastropod species
dry air they trawl
gilless crawlers
climbing plants
floating to surface
algae their dance
joining the mud snails
with their gills that prevail
two slow communes
sunning from pale

BLACK HOLE
spacetime

general relativity
compact mass
black hole
event horizon
undetectable
dark reflection
proportional
representation
micronic kelvins
people
emotional funnels
enveloping
no tolerance
unfounded fear
distaste
no sharing
fruits in lock
flooded seeds
waste of heart
perimeters
infinity
greedy astronauts
passing by
gaping trap
the shock
demise unexpected
naive lessons...

Cash-ew
sternutation caused
by peppered cashew so yum
a corticosteroidal effect
100 miles per hour in rhumb
a rather nutty snneze

CASH-EW I went

I DON'T GET IT...
without sounding boastful
or conceited in declaration
I think I do get it
in my thoughtful mode of frustration
deceit and greed
dictate activities of indulgence
and that is the predicate
of analysing points to divulge
but on the other hand
there are those with intention
who create fields of wisdom
and motivate those of kindly invention
so I look to the sky
thankful of many devotions
and join the fray in confidence
that I will make sense of all the commotion

Kwakwaka'wakw
power and strength
enormous wings
stirring the wind
Wakį́nyąn sings
with clapping feathers
binesi beats
adjoining clouds
rhythmic bleats
lightning eyes
blinking fire
the reptilian bolts
dangling in dire
dazzling colour
totemed to announce
with curling horns
and beak pronounced
transforming as tribe
married in flesh
in solitude and slavery
a vengeful mesh
heroes of prey
hunters of Unktehila.
on floating mountains
pompous regalia
great horned snakes
defied in quell
as the Great Sun sends
his message of knell
Three Fires tales
rising to nest
healing concoctions
for a soothing rest

Framed Reality
within the gilding
so clear and bright
reflecting brother
and carving light
moulding so broad
covering baroque
ornaments planted
in double stroke
beyond is hazy
Christ so dim
a spot of blaze
and choired hymn
I hear as much
as my eyes behold
a silent scream
and wonderous enfold

Friends
I have friends
who are
open and close
loyal and kind
refined
seldom verbose

confide
never morose
support and love
honest
exerting ploce
lifelong pals

Poem 2 for Open and Close
Locked
Fridges
and doors
windows
and drawers
jewellery boxes
and trunk
a key
to spelunk
ovens
and bottles
whisky
to throttle
but most
aware
parents to dare
girls legs
open ne'er
and my mouth
to waggle
sounding
like gaggle

Sunday's challenge... a cat in the candy store...
a playful grin
with paws in task
dancing a tune
with a whiskered mask
it's loonie pink
and tabby gold
sixlets and pearls
floating murals
sapphire sweets
and aurelian treats
teal coated
and dahlia floated
a cheshire song
nine lives prolonged

Surreal Cereal...An Ode to Puffed Rice
Big bag very gossamery
free glass inside
poured in bowl
in feathery tide
breakfast bizarre
unusual dream
little pearly boats
in alabaster ooze afloat
little black specks
I see oars in motion
freakish commotion
uncanny flecks
the spoon disrupts
slashing bow in thrust
a current swirls
as the crafts begin to hurl
the magic lantern
shines so bright
phantasmagorical light
on waves of white
down my esoph
brown sugar suffused
my morning taste
an unearthly bemuse

Illusions
are reality
true magic
in sensation
working
with imagination
and
stimuli's swarm
perfect imagery
for poets
and dreams
streams of suspense
in an everyday
sense
