poem of the day June 30


Finding
THAT
point
within
a point
of view
is very
difficult
for more
than
one
point
of
view
to
VIEW

poem of the day June 29


The possibilities
of fruit
abound
All one
has to
do
Is reach
up
Touch
a flower
and
wait
the
fate

poem of the day June 28


Warm
covers
holding
out the
cold
thoughts
of the
night
Keeping
the
shivers
at bay
Away
from the
moving
dreams
That
rise
like
the
sun
rises
over
the 
human
hill

poem of the day June 27


Does one
really
ever
change
Or does
one
get to
a point
where
one pretends
to change
Only to
fall
back
into the
same
old
dance
It depends
on perseverance
rather
then fear
poem of the day June 26


A night
storm
clears
the air
of all
stagnant
thoughts
Leaving
one
with
a fresh
mind
and
spirit
to begin
the day

poem of the day June 25


The Wall
Something
to keep
one
from 
themselves
or
Something
to climb
up
and
over
on the
quest
of 
souls
A barrier
able to
stop
thoughts
by the
power
of
ideas
Imagination
chains
locked
up in
good
bad
circles
handed 
down
the well
of
intentions
Ending at
the 
Wall
of
questions
To climb
and find
Or to
stay
and pray?

poem of the day June 24


Things
disappear
out of
nowhere
only to
end
up
somewhere
Lost
in the
tangles
where
they
hide
in plain
sight
Until
they
are
discovered
Sometimes
too
late
for
a piece
of the
cake
Yet
as
my mother
always
said
the lost
things
always
know
where
they
are

poem of the day June 23


The mean 
old worm
ate
the 
primordial
apple
before
Eve
was able
to offer
lust to 
Adam
but
somehow
in the
great
book
it all
got
blamed
on the
snake

poem of the day June 22


Hail to
the longest
day of
the year
More
light
then
night
Kind of
like
a sun
drenched
paradise
Signaling
the
return
of
summer
Have
fun
in the light
tonight

poem of the day June 21


A line
of
experts
stretched
as far
as the
the
discerning
eye could
see
Confident
self adsorbed
specialists
convinced
they could
solve
anything 
Unfortunately
they were
unable
to pick
a path
through
their self
important
conflicting 
egos
in time
to help
any
of the 
pressing
world
problems

poem of the day June 20


The next
day
is just
beginning
within 
the
thoughts
of tomorrow
A complete
picture
can be
found
the day
after
in the
pile of
discarded
yesterdays

poem of the day June 19


Sometimes
the plan
does not
work
in Ways
imagined
Other times
a Hail  Mary
saves
the
day
This is
the dance
taking
place
within
the realms
of no control
A strange sea
alive
with Boats
covered
in Sand
Castles
forged
by the
spiral
wind
All one
can do
is hold
on
tight

Sometimes
it takes
a long
time
to cut
down
a tree
Even
with a
chainsaw
Especially
on a hot
day
when
you
follow
the
wrong
line
of the
grain
And end
up
with
a come
along
around
the
trunk
Risking
your life
for
a flying
albatross
Makes
Me wonder
if the
tree
was
mad
at me

poem of the day June 17


When walking
in the
sea
beware
of
Moral eels
quick to
bite
With
righteous
strikes
of wild
aggression
Fresh
from
holy signed
confessions
Following
words
like us
and them
Afraid
of life
outside
their den
No mercy
for those
who
live
in sin
Unless
they're
born
Moral
again

poem of the day June 16


The race
to
space
Is
a
grand
old
waste
For
those
birthed
on
Earth
dying
of
thirst

poem of the day June 15


Before
the sunrise
In the 
dawn
Feeling
like
primordial
dust
An open
eye
looking
out onto
familiar
fields
Slowly
emerging
from
the dark

poem of the day June 14


The day
of birth
is the
opening
day of life
A time
where
everyone
is batting
a thousand
Go
Ezra
Go!

poem of the day June 13


Trees
sparkling
within
the
dripping
mist
of the
mountain
rain
gives
the
atmosphere
a clarity
one can
almost
touch

poem of the day June 12


Running
in circles
that run
into
circles
can
make
one
very
dizzy
Especially
if one
is
chasing
the
same
old
busy

poem of the day June 11


Growing
daily
The grass
meadow
is
becoming
an
endless
ocean
for
the wind
to
wade
through
during
the golden
shiver
of summer's
tide

poem of the day June 10


It was
a strange
collection
Antique
to modern
To Do Lists
dating
All the
way
back to
recorded
time
There
were
thousands
of old
lists
Ranging
from
hundreds
to only
a few
mostly
meaningless
chores
per day
Many
were
stained
by the
tired
sweat of
the weary
While 
others
were full
of confident
scribbles
of tightly
controlled
over achievers
But the
most
prized
of all
the collection
Was the
blank
list
of the
sage
who
was content
to live
without
the self-imposed
stress
of 
daily life

poem of the day June 9


To reach
Beyond
the ladder
Can be
a good
thing
If one
knows
When
to climb
down
The mountain
Just ask
Icarus
who
melted
into
Wings of
his own
destruction

poem of the day June 8


The
hope
of the
working
man
did not
win
the
triple
crown
Now the
new
world
order
is
foiled
Until
the next
poor
horse
runs
for the
roses
All I
can
say
is
To bad
the
dream
was
dashed
in Chromes
crash

poem of the day June 7


Pearls
of life
Are 
easily
lost
Unless
they are
strung
together
on the
center
cord
Somewhere
between
Time
and 
Horizon

poem of the day June 6


"Is
Wisdom
part
of
Waiting
Or
is
Waiting
part
of
Wisdom?"
the wise
man
was 
asked
as he
arrived
late
for
his
own
stay
of 
time

poem of the day June 5


Who
would 
have
thought 
that
A Little
chick
in the
house
Could be
louder
then
a herd
of  wild
elephants
Stamping
their
feet
at the
Jungle
square
dance
rumble

poem of the day June 4


Hoping
that
the
Idea
of
Being
is as
Simple
as just
Moving
from
one
flying
pan to
another
yet
Without
a center
of
What
You
Want
The quest
will be
Like
The rest

poem of the day June 3


On the
midnight
train
from
yesterday
Traveling
on the
old
highway
The
road
of life
is
full 
seeds
Many
are
the kind
you need
Round
the bend
is the
fork
One way
is
the
faithful
course
Take
it
if
you
know the
source
Otherwise
choose
the other
way
Cause
nothing
is for
sure
except
that
happiness
is in
Your
control
To
determine
what
train
to take
don’t be
late
or
hesitate
otherwise
you'll
be
left
with
fate
