What Swarms Eventually Scatters (Popularity:  )
What swarms eventually scatters.
What says 'What?' comes from having been
touched to the ground roughly smooth by
both Birth and the worthiness of that breathing
Void whose lungs are cargo planes for famine,
flaming torches held by cave painters and the
cold metal smell of having chiseled all day long
on a shadow who would not hold still.
Plunging his vision into a sliding door's
glass filled with yellow meat-bees.
Witnessing again
the stray cat that needs worm pills.
The picnic ...

How Can an Artificial Intelligent Computer Write Decent Poetry - Is it Possible? (Popularity: )
If you were to ask folks who love poetry if an artificial intelligent computer may someday write decent poetry, most likely they would be intrigued with the idea, but also find the concept highly unfortunate. Why? Because folks who write and love poetry equate it to human emotion, living and feeling and since a computer is not alive in the sense we think of life and since it cannot feel ...

From Inside an Open Grave - My Lily Did Escape (Popularity: )
Lily opened her eyes from sleeping
lest death take her ore
and rob her of her own breath.
this grave
opened up toward hope.
Remembering all
in conflict
wound or victory
thus
Lily spoke:
"Let me be a snowflake
drift in the wind
connect with the atmosphere.
Solace
solace
floating till I reach another wound
past this one.
This one is too hard.
Healing.
Let me know that space
no one around
freedom to dance over oceans
feet never even touching
its liquid whispers
at all.
Yes
I want to fly that high.
I don't care what ...

Oh Kauai, Hawaii Forever Be - Keep it Green For Future Generations (Popularity: )
This is my 'keep it green' proclamation, of sorts, for the Hawaiian Islands. The island of Kauai is being overbuilt, for such a tiny island. This poem notes what progress brings, and part of the destruction that can happen, because of our thoughtless march toward what we consider to be progress. Embrace these fragile resources, that have been left in our care. Let us remember to tread lightly, on the ...

Stillness Speaks, Unlocking the Power of Presence (Popularity: )
Stillness speaks
Quiets my soul to keep
Frees me to not think
That's right, no thinking
Oops, are you thinking?
I know it's hard to stop
Since the mind is persisting
It seems to continuously
Be fighting and resisting
Precious sacred solitude
The power of presence
Captivating effervescence
Intoxicating aliveness
Invigorating in stillness
An irony that stumps us
In a society that says do
In a culture pressuring you
To always perform and act.
How pleasant it truly is
To withdraw from all that
Sit quietly and meditate
Go within and ...

But I can believe what I want to believe.
What I want is what is true
It's true because ...

The Family At Christmas (Popularity: )
There is nothing more precious nothing more dear
Than God's gift of your family year after year
Each member is priceless far beyond compare
So gifted so talented quite unique and rare
Family at Christmas is much more than you see
More than the lights shining the gifts or the tree
Its time to look back on our gift from above
The purest conception of faith hope and love
The most beautiful baby was born as foretold
In himself ...

Papa Augusto's Cosmic Journey (a Poem) (Popularity: )
"I was just there;
I don't know how I got there...."
That is what Papa Augusto
said to me at the dinner table
this evening (New Years Day-2008).
"I asked the Lord (he said),
'why did you send me to a
planet without people?"
Before he could follow-up
on the question (or perhaps
ask the question again), the Lord
had sent a few spacecraft
his way; they were now
landing, and a number of
folks were dropped off in
what papa called ...
