Naughty Halloweenie

Weenie vulva woombs away
for it is Halloween today
to-morrow it is all deads' feast
a member for the fuckin' yeast!

Aesthetics

To what degree must artists go to create
what their audiences like?
What is beauty now
What was beauty then
What is "in" now
what was "in' then
Music, poetry, architecture, painting
sculpture, theatre, and film
(which has all the others within)
Words of critics - of philosophers
change the perceptions
so what is this poem?
- it is a cacophony -
a calamity of thoughts wrought
only from a sick mind
of an old woman who thinks
she can do what others have done
- nail with few poetics phrases
what aesthetics is all about
- how pathetic -
because there are no beautiful words
in this poem - a whim - a freak fantasy
that this tiny wordsmith begat
something of value. - Alas - not!

A day’s memorial

Another non-day
Nothing happened
A quiet day
So this Monday
Will remain
Anonymous
Although for
Others it was
A crime scene
A love match
A first step
A last breath
But without
Chocking events
It will become
A great time
Because I am
Still alive
Still kicking
Still screaming
From my inner
That I need more
A desire for life
Passionately
And at least
On Tuesday
My chance of
Seeing someone
Or something
Spectacular
May be the same
As today’s
And I will strive
For it - tomorrow

old oven’s smell

Pittsburgh Jews
Moved down
All the orange
Does is spurting
More lies and
Need for arms
When will Americans
Wake up and
Smell the fumes
Of the old ovens?!

Fall morn haiku

Warm glow of fall trees
on a cold and rainy morn
lightens the burdens

Solution? Ha!

Laughter is the best medicine
so "they" say
who "they" are
I don't know
but I do know that
laughter is good for the soul

Crying is not the greatest help
but "they"say
it is freeing
the tension but
my mom said- you feel sorry
for yourself

Alas to me crying is anger
"they' do not mention
anything but
the drips are spent
indignance
furiously fast

Laughter is catharsis
endorphins' exercise
healthy solution
to craziness
surrounding you
so hahaha

Skin me

Skin is what you are

thick-thin skinned

Some ladies take truly care

oil and protect

Other women do not

save soap and neglect

Skin is a time bomb

thin-thick  no twinned

Turning a leaf

Coldness becomes her
She shreds her foliage
slowly but surely
she becomes naked
nude she awaits the heat
of warming her up
before she again dresses
herself in beauty
The chill is where she
contemplates her fate
trying hard to embrace
the dampness and finds
that iced temperatures
yield more warmth
than ever before!

Thursdays mullings

Existences on shelves
wonders of humankind
leaving the dirt
(pardon me) the earth
not a bit better
with a girth
of terrible junk
of wastelands
on earth at sea and in air
just a true debunk
of sad humanity gone
wrong - empty shelves

shakespeare’s modern defense speech

Hear my friends
Honest persons of Congress
Hear me loud and clear
Just like Brutus
In Shakespearés
Julius Cesar
I shall start slowly
And continue at
Soon excelled speed
He who directs
This country’s policies
Will be elected again
With applause from
The average American
He will start escalating
The confrontations
and He will not stop
A war that he willed
Because wars generally
Help the economy
Except that we did not
See this phenomenon
In the last gulf war
That gave a trillion deficit
So the model is outdated
But being an island
He thinks he can
Control the world
Not realizing that if he cannot
Curb his own tips
On Twitter's orb
He shall be unable
To stop a new world war.
But you are honorable
And wholesome humans
So you will do his bidding
And you shall regret!

Frosty haiku

First frosty morning
sunny day bundled up trot
dog rolling in grass

Walking towards war (alternative tilte: it's all about money and power)

Walking towards war
surely but slowly
building beliefs
simple

Acting towards acts
surely but slowly
creating facts
simple

Setting the onset
surely but slowly
grounding grounds
simple

Positioning supposition
surely but slowly
conjuring conjectures
simple

Walking towards war
surely but slowly
building beliefs
simple

Hardened beliefs systems

Change of citizenship?
Can't be done
Why you ask?
Just because!

Why not? you may ask!
I cannot change
where I was born
and bred!

Other people do it.
Why not you?
It is a belief -
No discussion!

But I insist though!?!
You can insist
but have you ever
convinced?

Anybody truly firm
in his/her system
of ideas and
hopes and whatnots?


You - a repub or a demo?
why do you ask?
Because I wanna change
the way ya think

Nope, ain't gonna do it
Why or why not?
Because I believe
in what it is - isn't

So you can change
can't you  - truly?
You cannot convince
me about anything!!


You believe in G'd
or the likes thereof
May I tell you
there's a better way

Nope, you cannot
overwhelm me so
expecting me
to believe whomever

I refuse even to hear
what you say
cause you cannot
convince me

You can change?
Of course I can change
I am as open as
are you to ideas?

Tide's turn

In a quiet street
on a quiet morn
a butterfly flew
fall was coming
coolers' air stopped
a flap of wing

In a quiet street
on a quiet day
a worm got eaten
fall had come
cool winds blew
a bird's breakfast

In a quiet street
on a quiet eve
a toad croaked
winter's advent
rain teared up
somebody's song

Pic nix limerick

There once was a lady of Languedoc
Who for a long time needed a coq
But did not appreciate a fake
So said go and jump in a lake
Since a dick pic is not enough

Missing Mrs Moet & Chandon

Life is too short - as "they" say
and only a glass of champagne
is needed to feel alive again

The "go" of floating bubbles
is my nose of diggin' for troubles
and dancing through dirt

I miss the Mrs Moet & Chandon
where did she go - the clown
of just living day to day

The 30's to the 60'es
they left like bubble gypsies
the wind blew strongly

No solution to be found now
so I  intermittently throw
a bubble here and there

 Which will be my swan song
but without regrets - ding dong
life is a fluffy figment

Voelva's will o the whisp

If the Voelva were a woman of whims
she would wail and wallop
she would whisper - whelping
why the poor world

She is not a woman of willfulness
she is just a will o the whisp
an imaginative image
of writer's worn thoughts

So she will  not do warring
with the willful powers
of money grubbers' vistas
what is it worth

Only she will persevere to survive
and seed wavering in believers
weigh the words and query
what why and how

The Voelva will live not to see
where her volition will take her
but mayhap she would have webbed
and wafted viewpoints' vacillation
 

afar haiku

Voices from afar
Revive my dead gone spirit
A branch of friendship

frowning frozen forever

Returning to a place
Somewhat known
But have to dig deep
In the soil of my memory
Thinking it was
That terrible summer
Just after a lot of stuff
Happening
Buried so deeply that
Only its name remains
Frowning but the place
Of this time around
Is quaint and of quality
Frozen forever is
The dendrites and folds
Of my grayish brain cells
And that’s all
Delaware Water Gap

L'amour défini

On aime des hommes
on aime des femmes
on aime des individus

Si tu es un homme
tu aimes une femme

Si tu es une femme
tu aimes un homme

Si tu es un homme
tu aimes un homme

Si tu es une femme
tu aimes une femme

La vie donne autant
des possibilités

Il y a même des gens
qui n’aiment personne

Il y a autant des combis
qui s'aiment entre eux

Qui veut décider qui
et avec qui tu fais l'amour

Une chose seulement
qui me tient au coeur

Ne fais mal et reste
honnête et sincère

Voila tout sur l'amour
entre les êtres humains

The Eyes have it

Rubbing my eye

Scratch

Knew

Uh oh 

Went to eye doc

It is a scratch, doc

It could be herpes

Uh no

We’ll treat it 

As a scratch 

Herpes - you’ll hear

So no

Bernstein revisited

Noteworthy memories of my first musical
Presented themselves tonight
Listening to West Side Story
Reminding me of an if not better time
Then just à dreams of optimism period
Where people seemed to have
Gotten the idea to love or try it
Instead of today’s scaremongering
Egotistical anti everything
The fluffy and poignant fugues
Recalled the flowers of love and hope.
What of tomorrow’s dreamers?

Health haiku

Crappy health today
not a happy camper now
nature's way of drill

Repeat ad nauseam

Followers follow always
without thinking
Dissenters dissent often
within thinking deeply
History shows history upon
history/herstory
that we repeat the same
old story with variations
Critical thinkers think critically
without a hoot to political affiliations
alas in our educational systems
even though we try
thinking goes wayward
money money money talks
history/herstory is history

"Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it"

George Santayana (1863-1952)

Artemisia

Artemisia:
you got even
in spite of being raped
drawn to court
tortured -
eventually
went away from
Rome - your father
and your rapist

Artemisia:
You painted
voluptuously angry
sly Judith -
killing Holofernes
several times
under different titles

Artemisia:
In your portraits
you managed to
show all victims of rape
what they should
- emasculate their rapists


Artemisia:
Your paintings
and your pain
live on - but the women
who are raped
know forever
the anger you portray

Observer's inner thoughts

Yesternight I observed
a comedienne at my table
and thought only one thing
she is lonely in her skin
funny as hell -
satirical as everywoman
but in my mind -
craving for attention
feeling of loneliness
had her viewer's rolling
but  - when she goes home
what is waiting for her?

Tutoring on a Thursday morning

Student struggling with writing
suffering expressing what she feels
how difficult it is to truly know
what goes on in a brain and heart

Student battling with history
trying hard to get the concepts down
cannot remember and forfeit
the purpose of long-term memory

Student fighting with foreign language
knowing the words and grammar
just do not file the assignments
therefore fails miserably

Student warring with math and science
not my field of expertise
but imagining the tutors' frustration
all you need is patience

Culture versus society

Cultural rights
versus the societal rights
which to chose?

Cultural norms
opposite to society's norms
which to chose

Culture contrarily to society
meaning laws and doctrines
brings about change

Culture will move
faster than
society's mores

Eventually culture
will influence
the rights and change

Society's legislation
until a new cultural shift
comes about

Culture versus society
influences dance
around each other

Mon âme médiéval

Ma maison hantée en Occitanie
je n'ai pas besoin
d'un exorciste
parce que je veux être dans l'histoire
medievale
occidentale
me sentir comme d'une femme
du moyen âge
une chatelaine
désirante et obsédée par un rêve
Un jour je serai
le fantôme brûlant

chassant avec les âmes avant moi

Mes racines Aznavouriennes

Comme je deviens mon âge
plus que mes choix musicaux
reviennent à ma jeunesse bourge
quand un grand chanteur créateur
meurt un premier jour d'octobre -
voilà je me trouve devant l'ordi
pour l'honorer un âme en poésie

Le petit grand Charles comme ledit
vous me rapporte mes jeunes jours
avec vos sons des cinquantes jazzy
des soixantes avec leur rêves des fleurs
dans les années soixante-dix
je vous avais vu a Paris et admiré

Oui emmenez -moi encore
à ma jeunesse au voyage à Venise
avec la jiddische mama -
non vous avez raison -
je n'ai rien oublié

Epuration

Epuration cache le sceptisme
et  fournit seulement l'illusion

on supprime les crimes
on chante les fausses notes
on ment comme un president

cela prend du temps de decouvrir
la verite - les axiomes
chaque periode a sa certitude

Epuration ne sert a rien
dans l'histoire de l'humanite
