poem of the day December 31

The one

arm tango

is a dance

for dreamers

Especially

on long

nights

when

sleep

hides

in the

memory

of black

shadows

poem of the day December 30

Old and

young

frame

the fine

mind line

Each breath

we take

a fresh

taste of

time

Seeing

the baby

in the

old man’s

arms

Shows

both

ends of

the never

ending

rainbow 

poem of the day December 29

So many

times

Delusion

takes

hold

and becomes

truth

Only

because

of words

spoken

by long

chimps

gathered

around

small open

fires                         

feasting

on desire

Had not

rooted

much

of anything

to the

earth

Except

the importance

of  their

own

chatter

poem of the day December 28

When the

other side

is opened

without

intention

When the

old branch

breaks from

too much

worry

Then it

is time

to dance

the Bear Rug

Waltz

with

high healed

reason

Found

inside

of well wised

seasons

poem of the day December 27


The night

was over

The day

has begun

The circle

gets its

shape

from the

sun

Its emotions

fill

the planet

of one

Where

time

speaks

with

desire

that's

expressed

by the

tongue

poem of the day December 26


All the 

wise men

were

traveling

with

agendas

so big

Laden with 

bribes

so heavy

they were

unable

to to

much

but

sink the

boat

that 

was

short

in the

float

poem of the day December 25


Sitting

with my

dog

before

the dawn

watching

the lights

of the

Christmas tree

reflect off

the presents

all wrapped

and tempting

no one

else is

up to

enjoy

this silent 

calm

only a

fleeting

moment

left

before

the magic

storm

of wonderment

Lights

Presents

Action

love and joy

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

poem of the day December 24

The Earth

was falling

into

man-made

hell 

when it was

hit by

a super

comet

and 

scattered

into the five

directions

Because

of man's

failures

the sun

thought 

it best

to reform

the five

energies

into a

different

circle

It took

a long

time

but when

it emerged

the

planet

HEART

was born

All

in the

Universe

agreed

this was 

a much

warmer

gentler

sphere

in which

to breed

new

men of love

poem of the day December 23

Though

mostly

forgotten

and 

sometimes

in

short

supply

There

is a

weapon

so powerful

It is

able

to defuse

even the

most

hostile

of enemies

It is

known

to all

the world

as love

poem of the day December 22

The masses

were

gathered

around

the darkness

Wandering

blindly

in the

wilderness

Lost

in the

long 

night

It was

alas

the darkest

hour

Most

had given

up hope

But just

Before 

despair

Paul Revere

galloped

ahead of

the dawn

One by land

Two by sea

The

light

has returned

for all

to see

poem of the day December 21

There

was

light

and love

There

was

dark

and hate

Both were

mixed

into a

cake

Then 

the cake

was

eaten

by God

Who 

grew

A bit

of each

Inside 

of You

poem of the day December 20

The wonderment

of a child

is a 

fleeting

December

magic

only

glimpsed

by the

clear

eyes

of those

grown

children

remembering

times

that 

were

lived

before

poem of the day December 19

My dog

ate my

poem

Gone are

the perfect

verses

My muse

is lost

You would

think

the dog

would

want

to help

in my

time of

writers

block

But no

All it

does is

wag its

Tail

Instead of 

remembering

my tale

poem of the day December 18

Taken

from the

wild

A green tree

appears

inside

a warm

family

Tamed

with

lights

and

merry

fancy

Globes

of color

reflecting

smiles

as large

as cinnamon

candy

Making the

cut tree

alive

with 

love of

dandy

poem of the day December 17

“Violence

would not

be half

as much fun

without

us guns”

Pistol 

whipped

as they

were

being

fired

into 

another

victim

“Just

think

how boring

it would

be if

people

were allowed

to hate

without 

deadly

force"

Rifle

cracked

"Yes

We are

very lucky

to be

the

trigger

to their

killing

wheel of

desire"

poem of the day December 16

December still

at dusk I see

The snow on

branches white

and free

The Lose of sight

by dark forced night 

brings

black blue 

slow cold

silence to

the wane 

of light

poem of the day December 15

Forgive

is hard

for people

too entrenched

in ideas

born of

their

own

importance

When

found in

leaders

it ends

in war

When

found

in dogs

it ends

in barking

When

found

in yourself

it’s time

to drop

the fear

of the

deer

poem of the day December 14

True

are

the eyes

of magic

Simple

sight

of life

The old

hand

warms

by the

fire

Soon

new

mittens

for cold

fingers

travel

lake

light

on sweet

dust

of future

past

Times

only

thought

of

in the

present

When

holding

the road

world of

magic

pearl

maps

poem of the day December 13

Old corn

fields

can hide

many

memories

inside

The cloud

of stalks

is like

a hawk

drifting

in a maze

of country

crows

seeking

egos

of long ago

The same

egos

painted

on the

side

of the

road

Saying

go for

the ride

or stay

inside

poem of the day December 12

Standing

seems

so simple

for a tree

Straight

up and

down

with

gravity

No need

for muscles

brains

or brawn

Just a

trunk

to face

the dawn

poem of the day December 11

Oh longevity

only you 

can see

who will

live to be

a hundred

and three

You know 

the moment 

of every birth

how long

a soul will 

travel

this earth

You are

the eye 

of destiny

inside

every

ride of

eternity

poem of the day December 10

I wonder

what a

trip

to the

Mall

can

foretell

about

the habits

born

in shopping

hell

Too many

people

all in

a row

With

too many

stores

looking

for

Dough

Each

one has

a different

pitch

to capture

the spirit

of old

St. Nick

poem of the day December 9

Dog said

"Be careful

Don’t

try and

feed

the wild

monkeys

Otherwise

one might

end up

on your

back"

poem of the day December 8

Seasons

are simple

reminders

of time

spent

on the

Merry-go-round

enjoying

the same

circles

as other

simple

Folks

passing

through

the cosmic

glue

poem of the day December 7

I read

some

words

from

outer

space

Long

ago

before

the human

race

I drove

a spaceship

into

Mars

to see

how far

it was from

Oz

poem of the day December 6

“There is

Sex in

Everyone”

Desire lusted

to Repulsion

as Repulsion

pulled

away from

the embrace

“No that

can’t be”

Repulsion

moaned

“Not me

I am the

opposite

of you”

“Not so

I am not

Black and White

I have no

true

opposite”

Desire

smiled 

eventually

finding

Repulsion's

well hidden

weakness

poem of the day December 5

“Since when

did free

speech

get

limited

to ideas

that only

conform

with

those in

power”

George Washington

asked

Thomas Jefferson

when they

found

themselves

unexpectedly

time warped

into the

twenty-first century

“I believe it

all started

with money

when our

idea of a

impartial

supreme court

got bought

by  extremely

rich

powerful

self-intentioned

righteous

bigots”

Sadly

both men 

shook

their

heads

America 

was now

only the

shell

of the 

founding

fathers

dream

poem of the day December 4

The wind

brings

time

from

far away

Shooting

arrows

like an

archer

Most

miss

the

castle

But

some

pierce

the inner

soul

with

shivering

thoughts

born

long

ago

poem of the day Dec 3

It just

occurred

to me

The

word

Danger

contains

the word

Anger

which

has me

wondering

Is it 

just a

coincidence

Or the

universal

recipe

for disaster?
