On being

Awake, aware, alert, this

Transformative stretching of

The mind

Engages all our

Natural senses for a

True existence

In a kind

Of world that often shows

No patience.

Metesticca?

Sliver of wood, now silver or

Plastic, or of other stuff, your

Oval bowl holds just enough

Of what I want to shove in my mouth.

Now, that is good, without a doubt.

So, what's the...?

Pin pricks or

One twelfth of a pica

Is this small dot that’s

Not unlike a sharp, metal

Tip, which fencers like-a.

Tragedy

A fine fall day

Calls to mind a

Costly thought;

It ought not to have been so!

Dare we question the

Ever-watchful Eye’s will?

Never? Even though

That time haunts us still?

In memory of John Charles Moore (1964-1982)

Noun

Becoming an

Entity

In this world is a

Natural, fundamental

Gerund.

Speak

Vocal utterance

Of our

Innermost thoughts might

Come out in whispers if quashed

Enough.

Strain of competition

Slipping or dripping through holes

In this tool,

Elements separate for a

Very good use, while part of the whole

Ends up as refuse. 

“Turned a little way”

A door must

Just feel a spectacle when kids

Announce it a

Receptacle.

Kentron

Circles contain an

Essential point (the

Natural sting of a wasp) where

There is balance, and all around it,

Equal space

Revolves.

Practice to the infinite power

Seasoned abilities of one

Kind or other, have

In common repetition,

Likely helping to set in mind a

Long-lasting, deep, improvable impression.

Notwithstanding

Way back

It meant against, asunder, apart,

This uniting preposition that

Had an interesting start.

Miam miam!

Making this magical

Egg white delight

Requires wisdom and patience;

In summer, when humidity is high, it’s

Not a smart move to make ‘em – they

Get all gooey, so wait till it’s dry.

Use parchment-lined pans at an

Even, low heat for almost two hours, then

Savor this treat.

Abuse

Blind and mindless

Anger

Negates the notion of one

Nation, indivisible, a place of

Equality and justice for all

Races.

Fullness

Having grown

A truly

Remarkable feast of

Vegetables, herbs, and grains, the

Ever hardworking community

Sustained themselves and others with

The September gifts of their pains.

Mama Molasses

Straggling along and

Laughing all the while, the

Old woman danced a jig; she

Wanted them to smile.

Life

At the heart of

Reality is the constant

Throb of humankind,

Ever flowing,

Ready to find happiness, the

Yes in life.

Abated agitation

Fussing and twitching

In silent

Distress, the child was

Given a squishable toy; positive

Energy soon took hold.

The object gave her calming joy.

Clods

Cumulus, for example, might

Laugh

Out loud (if they could) to hear their

Uncanny likeness to rocks on the ground

Determined their name.

Sometimes they meet when it rains. 

Good night

Many such fluttering bugs,

Of myriad colors and sizes, flit

To the light after nesting in plants – it’s the end

He soon realizes.

Monument

Two were there

On the very spot

Where now water flows,

Embracing, not erasing, maybe

Relieving the emotional knots of what

Survivors know.

Modeling play

Primitive forms

Readily

Offer

The dreamer an

Open door

To turn

Yesterday’s design into a

Present reality while

Experiencing the play of

Solving problems.

Currently

Newness is every tick

Of the clock, a time

When we are present…or not.

Play

Hoping to

Observe the way it

Worked, she took it totally apart.

Nonetheless

Before the

Unless-part of the conversation comes

The prebuttal observation.

Community

School time, whether work

Or play,

Consists of rapport and 

Interactions all day;

Active, engaged minds are

Likely to stay.

To do

What we do daily, paid

Or not, is our

Reality of

Knowing a lot.

Consider all the automatic, incremental steps most of us take towards accomplishing tasks.  

Clever play on ‘rhetoric’

Fear-mongering fast talkers

Rear their ugly

Heads,

Encouraging

The public to worry – an

Onerous, destructive dread. All

Reason disappears

In the

Claptrap being said.

Please note: the first line DOES NOT refer to the musical group, but rather to those (the media, politicians, etc.) who spew fear-mongering rhetoric. The word the group uses is clever and spot on.

Sketchy background

Charcoal creates

Art in process or pens,

Right out of

The drawer’s mind,

On cardboard or paper

Of a thinner kind – a

Nuanced humor asserting amen.

Shoulder to shoulder

Patterns set in

An earlier time often

Rule without question. Then

Along comes a

Different thought or

Ideal; the design

Gives way and shifts a bit, causing

Misapprehension.

Mindful communication

Hoping

A gentle touch would

Provide

The kindergartner reassurance, the

Interim teacher

Communicated empathy

Simply and without words.
