One must master the rules
before breaking them -- it is
like that, especially with poetry:
One learns to logically manage
the spaces~ what isn't said, the
pauses and non verbal connective
feels --
The novice often says too much
or is so obliquely obscure that he
or she makes senseless attachment
with others --
Fine fabric of poetry closer
the frayed edges of language, loose
threads of thought we light, to keep
from unraveling. What lasting value,
if any at all, rises in the smoke, is
sustained by memory of the lyrical
flash.
If flowers had memories
Would they remember spring?
Would they suffer through
the harsh winds of winter
and the icy flakes from the sky—
just to bloom in spring again?
Maybe some of them
can’t handle the grief
of forgotten wisps
from a once-lovely season.
So they fall,
not knowing where they’ll land—
just understanding
maybe it’s better there.
Or perhaps
some cling to the branches,
knowing spring will return.
It’s possible
a few see beauty
in snow-capped stillness
and the biting cold,
and choose to stay.
Logically,
they wouldn’t remember at all.
But what if they did?
Leonard Simon Nimoy
the Enterprise did employ
he logically was very proper
and was able to live long and prosper
Of course it's being judged, why expect anything less.
Comes down to discernment between comfort and distress.
Biases are natural, otherwise we'd all be dead.
So logically you'll instantly judge everything you've read.
So read this and then think again, with new mind reborn.
As semblances of story surface, with plot lines redrawn.
Subtly steering focus from the objective given.
Then suddenly reminding you to judge what has been written.

The consistency of mystery
Drenched in it's simplicity
Wrought with what would seem to be
To our participants complacency
For a golden opportunity
A trick our minds eye think they see
If not thought through quite logically
A flim-flam conjured carefully
Too easy to take willingly
For those grasping at something free
Fruit hanging low on fabled tree
So true it is too good to be
To test human morality
When seeking answers desperately
In a place that's not quite fair.
If the plural of mouse is mice,
And more than one louse is lice,
Then it seems to me, that logically,
The plural of grouse should be grice.
A single goose duplicates into geese,
A mongoose produces mongooses,
So let me stick out my neck
And ask why the heck
The plural of moose is moose,
And not meese,
Or much better yet,
Why not mooses?
Author's note: Dear reader, if you're interested in a little more along this line, I invite you to take a look at my article/essay, "The Wonderfully Awful English Language".
We, children love to build lego blocks
Our knacks never run out of stocks;
We can make miniature city,
People, animals, houses, flowers
And a lot more! So colorful and pretty!
Legos are our favorite toys,
Bringing us laughter, smiles and joys;
Girls make dolls and kitchen wares,
Boys make cars, robots, towers
And while playing, we all love to share!
Legos help us think collaboratively and logically,
Combining shapes and colors beautifully;
We make many 2-D and 3-D shapes,
We're symmetric and asymmetric figure builders
Our great creativity leaves you in awe, mouth in gapes!
I sometimes worry that a daydream…
Can become something sinister.
Even a simple, quiet laugh…
At some thought in my head is scary to me.
Because here I am, alone in this room,
And I’m laughing to myself, like a crazy person.
The daydream dissolves.
Fizzing, and hissing, and corroding in my brain.
But the damage is done.
A new connection is made between two unrelated events.
And it scares me that-
No one will believe in this connection.
No one will laugh,
They will all be glaring-
And I will stutter and fumble for the rest of my life.
Never being able to think logically again.
And that’s not funny at all.
met a friend...phil...at an english
school coffee shop called the
"you came" - 'bridge cafe'
phil...with his 'full loss of fees'
asked for one 'existent-shell' espresso...
as a wake-up phenomena...logically, on me
then, the diction....airy as it was...
just a 'full loss of why'...sewed wings
on phil over his 'full loss of sophie'

Age is just a number
Math just made me dumber
I felt my head getting heavier
Every time they put K and G together, the weight
After all there is a difference between growing up and growing old
That's why love is just another house on the street sold
When the buyer, is a woman at a party feeling cold
And the seller happens to have a jacket, he holds
Age is just a number, talk about love, talk about
Math all over, oh, he says let's do romantic algebra
Replace my eX girlfriend without asking Y
And to balance off the uknowns of our relationship
I'll surely try
Age is just a number
A lonely prime number, that seeks closure
In its logically impossible factors its just one
And himself
Age is is just a number
Just as cousin is just a word
And surely no wonder
We find thousands of people getting mad
In love, sometimes its sad
Thats you don't see this challenge
Is over,
And i took over
If I speak with you in russian will you understand?
You will not understand cox your native language is not russian.
So,logically divine power speaks with you in your mother tongue.
In this way you and your People can understand it easilly.

A lot of things in this world
Really puzzle me.
And I’m sure they’ll puzzle you as well.
If you look at them logically.
Why does an egg plant have no eggs
And a hamburger have no ham?
A guinea pig doesn’t come from Guinea
And it isn’t even a pig.
Writers write but authors don’t ‘auth’
At a recital they play; at a play they recite.
If vegetarians eat vegetables,
What do humanitarians eat?
An alarm goes off by going on,
While your house burns up, it’s burning down.
And even our bodies are built to confuse.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
I could go on forever
But I’m sure you’ve got the gist.
I’ll leave you now dear reader
To work on your own list.

Death reminds me
By Michelle Morris
12/11/2022
As December draws nearer
I know that anniversary is looming
Honestly, I don't want to face it
Another reminder that you're gone
There are too many anniversaries
When Death reminds me of its reach
It's claws and scythe wave sarcastically
My frenemy from the ethers
I have respect and understanding
For its part in this Universe
I have so much experience
Our relationship isn't usually terse
But, there are these specific dates
That mark the loss of loved ones
When I am reminded that
They are cut off from mortal arms
And I feel the loss of love
The loss of warmth and kindness
Even though I may logically know it's silly
I still miss those good times
Despite the years and distance
Heartache and forgotten trauma
I always loved you through it all
And I still miss you, my dear mom

Let lost love last not long and laugh loud pure
Lest, loneliness lane shall lie thy heart dying
If love isn't made to get burning in the blue
Its authenticity will fade away easily when time comes
Love when real brings more defense than pretence
Love breathes hope and joy into lives crying
To make the bliss of opportunities shine bright
Love drives away fear and empower courage so true
Living a life others wish a dream freely assured
Love changes all bums become chums
Love permits lion live like a sheep amidst Goats
Love caress the prodigal; defines him to be generous
Love gives the light to the weak in the night
Love beautifies grace to cope with every possible fright
Love let life live long logically loosing lust's lengthy line
Love pays off happily without strength to cure
Love lead aright to save lost time in trial
Love heals the world like a valid vial
Love is the key to open the hardened heart
Love is awesome when it's seen and embraced an art
