Pearls Of Wisdom
Every author that I know,
will at some time or other,
hand out a small pearl of wisdom,
in his or her work somewhere.
It does not matter in what genre
in which they choose to write
their pen will slip one day
and a small pearl of wisdom
will spill out and come our way.
We are all creatures of choice
and authors are no exception to the rule
in that once you have written one pearl
you can guarantee
more pearls will follow.

Idiom: No love Lost
Love poems, how trite they become.
Their hackneyed themes we want to scream.
We purposely shy away from
That genre, teeming so it seems
With grandiloquent, large supplies
Of conjured words with empty rings
Of cheating hearts and love that dies.
Ad nauseam is all it brings.
We wish just once that we could read
Where love’s expressed differently:
Brand new verses that supersede
Love’s banal themes in poetry.
Love-lost poems are sickening
But most of all they are boring.

Breaking Dawn
A squirrel on a stone bull
revives a genre,
after a black rose
fell on the lips of tremor.
One amphibian was always there
part in water and part on land.
Climbing on words,
to become an avis -
the avatar of a flying god.
There was no song -
on the bridge of tears. Let us
share a lost dream.
Do you find seashell in the
desert of diction? Here once a
river flowed under the rocks.
Friends don't squeeze the moon.

See you in heaven
I write- I do this- as I
Think so- as not by others
Hence mind it- I say
Not again bother you- at day
Remember my genre does I belong
I think- been thought a fool for long
Respect whom- I gather courage
About the presence- outrage
Told me about- I was afraid
Since the day- was I bom
Up- raised- and grown
By the angles whom I trusted
More than I say- what I bother
I have written so much and other
Create a panic- all around us-
But what to do- going to sleep
My little girl- see you in heaven

You are raping my virgin poems
she was innocent
smiling coyly
talking sweet
hugging softly
winking happily
and tasting lovely
they raped the poem girl
they took away her frock
and untied her petticoats
and tore apart her panties
and forced her to lie
upon a thorny bed
and mantled upon her bleeding core
and made her weep and sob with grief
the new genre of poets
they in the name of poetry
rape her and loot her beauties
and stuff with vulgar weeds
my dear poet virgin
adulterated in the hearts of men

I want to be music
I want to be music
good music
with guitars
and pianos
and tambourines
and drums
and
I want to travel in waves
I want to be played loud
Sometimes I want to be played soft
Quiet, discreet and classy in the background
LOUD abrupt matinstream and underground
I want to be understood
I want my point to made across
Categorized into a genre
Misplaced and lost
I want to be music
CRAZY
INSANITY
DRUG ABUSE

The Rebel Bard Is King
The rebellious poet creating his authentic truth
Older than pyramids but speaking for youth
Constantly bending genre, he is so diverse
Creating new dimensions with metaphor in verse
He’s an actor, a prophet, and a superhero to
He’s a killer, a leader he is anything but you
He sat with pharaoh’s and drank brandy with kings
Ate peaches with angels that were playing harp strings
The ruler of millions of planets he gave birth
An exploding star with infinite worth

Created With Originality
Campaigning against a 'thing' that 'is',
To dispute its existence like some people do...
Because it does not fit a customary genre,
By those who place themselves in positions...
To pick and select what 'is' and is not acceptable,
For others to embrace...
Because what they are familiar with is easier to label,
Or in a notch be categorized and safely placed...
Only validates with certainty,
Something has been created with originality.
And 'however' it is depicted does not dim its glow one bit.
Even standing alone,
It manages to produce its own radiance.

Couple d’Acrostiche
Honnêteté dévoile la clarté de son esprit.
Amour propre dans le regard de son mari.
Drôle, dévouée et gracieuse elle est, j’écris.
Jeune ravissante elle était dans son abris.
Encore éblouissante et plus de grâce quand elle rit.
Romance céleste dans l’éternelle lueur de ses yeux.
Forte personne que l’on juge l’être cher.
O l’homme de mes rêves! Mon époux sur cette terre!
Unique dans son genre, humble maître de mon cœur!
Amour ferme et vivace dans l’ensemble de mon ardeur!
Douce vie j’estime qu’on aurait en étant mère et père!

Q & A of November,2011
what is 'democrative'?
working definition: an adjective modifying nouns of variation in a
sentence within a paragraph or verse in poetry which is a participatory
theme in a book or thesis or poem or an essay or literary genre.
ideals: the highest freedom with responsibilities, reflecting highest
independent and humanistic zone even in time of crisis.it is just
the sparking abstractions!
Sometimes questions are not to be answered but to be provocative
upon the readers.
The multi-disciplinary poet tries to fix things up hower confused they
have been through times.
