Puzzles

Immense is God's love for men that
He not only keeps them companied
But amused and entertained
Through his ubiquitous
Puzzle games intricately
worked out for them
..in the sky, in the oceans,
In the mountains.... everywhere
If only they care to seek them out.
To boost their enthusiasm
In this mind racking tournament,
A rich reward awaits
Each puzzle solved
As can be seen from
Watt's answer to his rattling kettle
That won us the locomotive
Or Jenner's answer to the
Uninfected dairymaids that
Won us the vaccine for smallpox
Or Fleming's answer to the growth

Raindrops Mingle

Raindrops mingle
on my windowsill
like bacteria
in a petri dish,
squirming
as they almost streak
downward though
captured
in the morning's
frosted template.

The denucleated drops
fuse in the sunlight,
glare giving them
the glow of
a compact disc's
flipside—
what data does it
convey as it plays
the song that

Fearsome Storm

to release the poet in you
get to the person you are
unleash the spirits in you
tear down the fence yoiu
have locked yourself in

commit all the mistakes
you want to - crimes are not
allowed but mistakes
yes you can
and the funny thing is
they do a heaven of good
to you

remember
edward Jenner's
misplaced petri dish
that turned out a
weakened virus
to save a million

Planet Earth Expiration Date?

science claims life on planet earth
has teemed thrived multiplied
diversified for millions of years

life has proliferated triumphed flourished
on this spacial special beautiful blue pearl
diversifying for millions millions of years

plants animals coexist live in ecosystem harmonies
humans cause hubris global destruction tragedies
exhibit pride arrogance lost contact with realities

modern civilization presumes hubristic vast powers
scores decades dumping vast topic wastes into oceans
wakes to surprised discovery vast off shore dead zones

an overestimation of human competence capabilities
especially persons forging capitalistic power policies
spray chemicals light fires ignorance delet ozone layers

Victor Hugo

Explication

La terre est au soleil ce que l'homme est à l'ange.
L'un est fait de splendeur ; l'autre est pétri de fange.
Toute étoile est soleil; tout astre est paradis.
Autour des globes purs sont les mondes maudits ;
Et dans l'ombre, où l'esprit voit mien que la lunette,
Le soleil paradis traîne l'enfer planète.
L'ange habitant de l'astre est faillible ; et, séduit,
Il peut devenir l'homme habitant de la nuit.
Voilà ce que le vent m'a dit sur la montagne.

Tout globe obscur gémit; toute terre est un bagne
Où la vie en pleurant, jusqu'au jour du réveil,
Vient écrouer l'esprit qui tombe du soleil.
Plus le globe est lointain, plus le bagne est terrible.
La mort est là, vannant les âmes dans un crible,
Qui juge, et, de la vie invisible témoin,
Rapporte l'ange à l'astre ou le jette plus loin.

Ô globes sans rayons et presque sans aurores !
Enorme Jupiter fouetté de météores,

The Windmill

'The Windmills of Your Mind' ('Les moulins de mon cœur') is a song performed by Noel Harrison, with music by Michel Legrand and English lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman, from the 1968 film, The Thomas Crown Affair.[1] The French lyrics were penned by Eddy Marnay.Noel Harrison took the song to #8 in the UK Singles Chart, and it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1968.[1] Remarkably, Harrison's father, the British actor Rex Harrison, had performed the previous year's Oscar winning 'Talk to the Animals'.[1]The opening two melodic sentences were borrowed from Mozart's second movement from his Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra.Dusty Springfield's version of the song from her album Dusty in Memphis is also well known; this version reached #31 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and #3 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart in 1969.[2] This recording also appeared on the soundtrack to Breakfast on Pluto (2006) .Other artists who have covered the song include Tina Arena, Petula Clark, Barbara Lewis, Alison Moyet, The Colourfield, Swing Out Sister, Edward Woodward, Parenthetical Girls, Esthero, Anne Clark, Sting (whose version was used in the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair) and Sharleen Spiteri on her The Movie Songbook album. The French rendering: 'Les moulins de mon couer', has been recorded by a number of artists including Richard Anthony, Johnny Mathis (with Toots Thielemans) , Patricia Kaas, Vicky Leandros, Nana Mouskouri, Jessye Norman and Caterina Valente. The song has also been rendered in Finnish as 'Samamlainen onni' recorded by Petri Salminen and also by Marita Taavitsainen; in German as 'Wie sich Mühlen dreh'n im Wind' recorded by Katja Ebstein and also by Vicky Leandros, and in Swedish as 'Vinden I Min Själ' recorded by Lill-Babs.

Under the Windmill a country lassie with a cane basket
She picks wild flowers hurriedly in the thicket
And a willet flies towards the marsh for her nest.
Far away cattle along the meadow
And a Red fox hoots on a hilltop willow.
Flock of cranes in the twilight sky.
It's getting darker and if I come to the Windmill
With my book of poetry,
Is it possible to get permission from your parents
To borrow a lantern for me,
Then I could have finished my reading early in the morning
And I promise you to return the Aladdin's wonderful lamp at your threshold
With a small chit saying thanks and my whereabouts before I leave?

for ShakespearesWaste Bin in gratitude!

*[First comment from my beloved; 'Hey! My old boy are you trying to be the Pied Piper of Hamelin? ']

L'Escaut

Et celui-ci puissant, compact, pâle et vermeil,
Remue, en ses mains d'eau, du gel et du soleil ;
Et celui-là étale, entre ses rives brunes,
Un jardin sombre et clair pour les jeux de la lune ;

Et cet autre se jette à travers le désert,
Pour suspendre ses flots aux lèvres de la mer
Et tel autre, dont les lueurs percent les brumes
Et tout à coup s'allument,
Figure un Wahallah de verre et d'or,

Où des gnomes velus gardent les vieux trésors.
En Touraine, tel fleuve est un manteau de gloire.
Leurs noms ? L'Oural, l'Oder, le Nil, le Rhin, la Loire.
Gestes de Dieux, cris de héros, marche de Rois,
Vous les solennisez du bruit de vos exploits.

Leurs bords sont grands de votre orgueil ; des palais vastes
Y soulèvent jusques aux nuages leur faste.
Tous sont guerriers : des couronnes cruelles

Your A Rebel

Tailors make concession faith
In the pocket, with your makeup
Disguise false words of wisdom
From the authors of your stakeout
Zip up trends in fashion friends
For hobbies spelled in manicures
Throwaway tattered doctrines
Regurgitate there vinyl strands
Because you are, what you ware
Bleached and combed with unclothed care

Cool hunting for those cultural memes
In the piranha pools, where desperate hearts beat
The stark canvass, you were born to raid
Nomenclature wealth from a dodged pirate trade
Roam with fishnets punks that sport purple hair
Ride shotgun with Geek sheiks with anime flair
Be a mechanical summarizing anarchist
When you're a philandering philistine motorist
Reject big brother and mom and dad's laboratory

Amsterdam Brownies

There not my mother's specials
Though they'd give her quite a kicker
It packs a punch when you're a starter
Or an invalid, with Amish liver
Initiates I would administer
Biscuits with a pinch of hash
Than work towards the ganja cake
Which no conscience can pretend to fake
We'll strip the layers of black and white
To transcend colors of a mental flight
A first class ticket to a surrealist dance
Just bite your tongue if you must scream

Because you will be arriving into Eden

Upon the fjords up a river,
Were bicycles, are not much quicker.
Go down the Singel; a charming canal
That flows like champagne inside a well
Spot the antiques from old Orange days

The Galilee Hitch-Hiker

The Galilee Hitch-Hiker
Part 1

Baudelaire was
driving a Model A
across Galilee.
He picked up a
hitch-hiker named
Jesus who had
been standing among
a school of fish,
feeding them
pieces of bread.
'Where are you
going?' asked
Jesus, getting
into the front
seat.
'Anywhere, anywhere
out of this world!'
