Re: Re: Re: Re: Grandma is a Goddess

tell me about the moon
old man,
how its light
bounces
off the sea at night.
tell me
how dewdrops
kiss their leaves.

show me.

make me look at the water
and see its salt,
see the reshaping
of the sand.

each time I see the moon
or tell my daughter
about the importance
of water,
or swim on a beach
at sunset,
daybreak,
I will remember you.

give me memories.

WELL DONE! Bravo! Let's hear it for our ancesters!

Lunch is over, back to work. Thanks for letting me play!

ocean
playing toneless symphony
a myriad of micro collisions
as water wears down rock
endlessly

lazily, you let the glitter
of of a sun soaked surface
bounce from sky to sea
to you to me

krell
playing hide and seek
below, out there
with gulls and rays
trying as they might
to hide behind the other krell

some forget, and hide in front
gulls rejoice and sweep
their greedy snappers satisfied

lazily, you watch the frenzy
a cloud of white feathers
yellow beaks and black eyes

kids
playing daring drama
setting driftwood stage
and oyster shell props
to act, as good as for real
a life less ordinary

lazily, you stretch your neck
and lift those sunglasses
to watch their spree

me
playing with the idea
to walk boldly over
to your sunwarm blanket

and ask you for a dance
to the shimmering symphony
of the ocean

Oooh!
Ocean poems. My favorite.

Re: TATHAGATA

I'm seeing new things about you all the time and they amaze me

tell me about the moon
old man,
how its light
bounces
off the sea at night.
tell me
how dewdrops
kiss their leaves.

just a short f'rinstance and I sense

a new woman on my far
horizons, and
that excites me, may

be nothing at all but I yearn

for it to be

exquisite

who can she be??

but Tatha Man! You are putting down some strong footprints here.

One thing about poets--others always write things that we cannot.

that ain't me brother
that's Tara's poem

and she rules

I'm always okay.
But I have lions in my poem--better than on my face.

Re: Somebody else's idea

O.K., somebody suggest this was a good place to work on my poetry skills....ohhh now I'm all nervous in public....

A semi roars past
gears scream to pull it up the hill

I can't hear the wind
or the waves
or any birds

but I hear the frogs

the frogs have learned
to scream over highway's din

they scream for love

does anyone else know what that's like?



well, I gave it a shot...oh yeah a name for it....

[Tathagata]

Puke!


blowing pretty chunks with a technicolour yawn.
Back-up chip special and colouring the dawn
Recycled brown bag involuntary spill.
Organ recital, personally feeling ill
Do the Jersey yodel or the liquid laugh.
Heave, hawk, spew, honk, sprout or barf.
kiss the can or yawn for the hearing impaired
Get a refund on your lunch or a waste good beer
call the moose and spew snacks then make a visible burp
taste lunch twice , drive the porcelain bus with wyatt erp
make an offer to The Porcelain God or psychadelic spit
whistling beef projectile style or pop a gastric zit



my hmm-hmm!

Looking for that perfect emoticon? Sadly, I can help you out with that.

There are a frightening number where that came from.

Re: Re: Re: Vomit

His words gone bad
a broken switch
bark stripped
not even a breezing twitch
to lift
this dried branch
Vomit I ask?
On him or me?
No energy to see
through this projectile upheaval

I think I'm starting to feel uneasy queasy. lol Though, I like the part about the switch!

 

[Guest]

I draw the line at Jersey yodel.

Well......okay, if you must but make sure you wash your hands afterwards.
