Widget? Not!

To widget or not to widget
that is the ambiguity
all bloggers ask?
To trace or not to trace
that is innuendo
the Internet inhales!
Ach - to have immunity
without big business
breathing behind
innocuous inquiries
invading ivory towers
of Rapunzel's rhapsodies
would be real refuge:
a personal prerogative.

Schnook

Inspired by a book
just a peek, a look
down by a brook
my face - a nook
with a wrinkled hook
duly noted I shook
no help for a kook
Grin and bear - schnook!

Speechless

Realpolitik
for whom
but the rich

Controversy
for what
sovereignty

Supremacy
for nothing
but money

Domination
for zilch
but power

Empire
for naught
but tyranny.

The man in the garden.

A gentle man
whose nose
crossed my path
encircled
by water lilies
and strange trees
not in that garden -
in a park somewhere.

A nice man
whose nose
tumbled in my path
surrounded
by life in general
and odd existences
not in that country
but elsewhere.

A fine man
whose nose
leaped on to my path
intertwined
by pure accident
and guarded quest
never expected
yet appreciated.

A terrific man
whose nose
lingers on my path
knotted
by sheer hope
and just friendship
committed
by joint affiliation.

Ice redux

Wows of anger
melting thick ice
shedding the shield
deep in the thicket
finding the roots
for naught!
Knots of anger
melting thinner ice
comes with inkling
respecting elders
grasping their roots
for nil!
Whorls of anger
melting the ice
cool your vindication
venturing to recapture
your self contentment
of being.

Change - always the same

Blackberry winter
inside - outside the screen
soaring in modernity
lacking original thoughts.

Unless one is a true visionary
pack up and join the mediocrity.
An optimist will find that bit
of pure spark in everyone.

Alas - not always an enthusiast
everyday seems so squeaky.
Pick up yourself (all you have)
spring is breezing in - eventually.

Bored and thinking of
"Ode on an Grecian Urn"

Sen-Flex-Rabing

Reclaiming memories
Activating my perception
Sensationing

Recounting feelings
Energizing my reception
Reflexillation

Registering visions
Applying my suspicion
Denurabiling

Releasing intuitions
Empowering my devotion
to koshering.

On trying to write my memoirs -
difficulties abound. Can one really be
all truthful?
Poet's play with creating new words.

Left - right

Morning musings...

Two people read...

the same newspaper.

Might as well be...

two different dailies!

Stolen identity

Evil is in the world
somebody takes over
your identity!

Evil is in the world
cautiousness adviced
your self - no longer?

Accept evil and fight
for what is not right
you are still you!!

My brother took all the sleds!

22 and counting versus 19 plus
he took all the sleds -
left nothing for me!

Duh, kid what am I supposed to do?

Sibling rivalry is alive and kicking!

Modern communication:
Cell phone
Did you take the sleds?
Yes

So mother of invention:
Buggy boards?
Lets see
a frying pan?

Huh!

Shimmering sun strokes
shadows on snowy lawn
calm landscape.

Slithering sneaky snakes
showing their irreverent pattern
unreal fission.

Slippery wholesome life
everything is change
accept it - humorously?

Watery Wallpapers

- electronic visions -
water willingly weightless -
vacillating visions of veracity
spiked with polished introverted reveries
of harmonizing reality with longings

Language

Be a good girl - eat your porridge!
be a good girl - don't go with strangers!
be a good girl - say thank you for the gift!

be a good girl
be a good girl
be a good girl

Be a smart boy - eat your veggies!
be a careful boy - don't knock old ladies down!
be an intelligent boy - acknowledge the giver!

Language is ever important!

(On remembering the 1950ies)

Worries

Apprehension
I sent off a baby
to be weighed

Trepidation
the nursling's measure
will augur

Consternation
my offspring grows
without my guidance

Agitation
I have to let go
plummet or soar.

Jetlag

One week
no sleep
out sync
down drain
lighthead
coffee savior.
