warming up the den
mama bear and papa bear
attend to their young...

The purpose of being 
human to live as amateurs 
and not to live 
to attend to be absent like meteors...

With all changes we can attend,
So constitution had to amend;
Meet need;
All agreed;
No one would we ever offend.

ART


Attend to bliss in rapture fine,
Art funds sure ease in touching lines.

Acceptance

Is the key
To Peace and Joy..
To accept what's here
And now..but then
To attend to rising
Regrets and wishes
With the recognition
These are also made
Of Acceptance......

Do you ever wake up and dread the day?
The sun is beckoning but the will is not there,
Yet you have to get out, come what may,
And attend to the task that you least care -
Go again looking for love and find it nowhere!...

Quatrain #78:
DAWN


Dance in the light as music hurls,
Attend to flight where form now swirls;
Wear a keen sight to cast your lot,
Now breeze blooms bright in this grand world.

Change styles a face,
One at a time;
Now seize the space,
Ask for new chimes;
Note then the strange:
Carved with fine gauge,
Ink fabled range,
Mark ample stage;
Make action pay,
Ever in spoils;
Rise to the day,
Instinct feeds toil;
Attend to plans;
Notice sure span.

By lakeside path
Breeze strays enough


Wind hurls dry leaves
As gifts to give


I walk on by
Attend to sighs


A stray thought finds
Sans peace of mind


A lone tear drop
Ends my flip-flop


I come to meet
The fear I greet


No much is said
With silence paid

Echoes of joy
Urge and emerge;
Rise to bold ploys,
Attend to splurge;
See with new eyes,
Indulge your say;
Ask for grand sighs,
Note how you play.
Truth knows your name,
Rouse your fine norms;
Impact your game,
Bless poignant form;
Embrace your roots,
Sense tact you moot.

My mother was once a playful girl,
so pretty, framed in the laurel bush,
bent in laughter, smile unfurled 
for the black box camera, and all the world 
an oyster for my pretty mother,
pearl of Georgia, and her sister Lillian, 
yet to discover Time takes care 
of pretty and playful,and will 
attend to it:  Black box 
at the end of it....

Do not fear intelligent women
When in love they happen to be such fools.
They would attend to your every demon 
With dreams of a white gown of lace and tulle.
 
Been there, done that, wore those shoes, have that bruise.
Exaggeration played a silly trick.
"Got used to being yours and now I'm whose?"
Turns out I'm mediocre and not schick....

I attend to my garden each day-
   though a tedious task, it is true.
With the seeds of ambition, I pray
   it will flourish for me and for you.

Befiore one climbs the ladder to the heaven
One must fulfill one's promise on earth
Glitter the life on earth
Herald a meaningful life
Attend to the needy
Fair to the unfortunates
Treasures on earth are to be shared fairly
Just like the share of a place in the heaven
When you've paid on earth
Sure you'll be free in the heaven
This is what I believe...

Ensure, not a single student is left alone;
Treat them all as children of your own.
With utmost faith, they board your bus;
Be not the cause of an unnecessary fuss.
Their lives are in your hands you wheelmen!
Attend to their needs, to be called true men!!

Value comfort and consort on named holiday

Attend to needs and wishes of prized partisan

Love the small moments and the grand gestures

Eat delicate foods in pleasured accompaniment 

Nourish emotions and flames of passion

Take joy in every touch and caress

Initiate contact and dazzle senses

Never ignore an opportunity to spoil 

Enjoy every minute...

Skips in a line of Customers
To attend to some newcomers;
A long good patience running out,
A long silent voice to soon shout!

"Why aside a guy in need wave"
While he does same attention crave?
CCTV does bear witness,
People's acts judging their fitness...

He could seller call A Bastard
Or for humor Tasteless Custard;
A claim he ate her this morning
But has, since, been sadly mourning....

Attend to stuff
In fatal bluff


Sense a void here
Flood empty sphere


A certain flood
Of oozing blood


Pulse in sure speak
Mounts a high peak


Focus knows plot
In tangled knots


Sublime sure span
As void rooms plan


Lapse of deep pond
Makes void spark fond


Go calmly now
Purge sense of how


Pay attention
To intention

Keeping—the Syllable Count
Knowing—How to Rhyme
This – is—What keeps is a—Sonnet
Annoying – Iambic—Line

Constantly – Chiming—and Gushing
Blowing—in Merciless – Gusts
And Yet—Still always reminding
Attend to it—While it lasts

Stemming from – Nature’s Rebellion
Or – Simply—Pressuring Air
Or If it’s Heaven—is Gentle
Just Quietly—Whispering There

Flying and Swimming—in Space
Gliding—with the – Utmost Grace...

Deep breath 
And push
Face, stretch out, glide,
Noise diminished, 
smooth as silk taking in the first.
Meditation moving forward.
Ever forward. 
Pushing downhill.
Survival in the chill. 
Survival in chill.
Enumeration in perfect timing.
No chore to attend, 
no chores to attend to.
My survival in the chill. 
My off switch.
Breathe, pull, pull, pull, breathe.
Silent, rhythmical, turn and push....

my wax self is melting
into the oak slats 
which never held me up any way

the ones i did not 
attend to never understanding
that this day would come

depleted now i give myself
up gladly wondering what will 
remain

nothing i used wisely 
for i took care of nothing
and no one

which is why 
it does not matter any way
i am a lone wolf 

flesh and bone
without a soul
i give myself up gladly...

The rainy season arrives
Today we have a gloomy and surly weather
It makes me feel heavy and depressed
Spaced out 
Fed up
Finally retreat to a confinement 
To avoid being wet out
The bustle and hustle of the outside 
Being blocked out
An inner self is left 
I feel somewhat alone and lost 
Am l really alone
Of course not
I then think of my loved ones
I then think of God 
Who is ever ready to attend to us...

What doesn't kill us?
Some say it makes us stronger.
I think it doesn't kill us simply because it doesn't want to.
Or perhaps it is gentle.
The flowers in the spring are gentle.
Laundry soap in my washer is gentle.
Peanut butter in a decorated glass jar is gentle.
Flowers bring beauty.
Laundry soap softens and cleans.
They don't want to kill us.
They have their own business to attend to.

Be mindful then
Audacious ambition
Be thankful when
Alphabet transactions
Cause wordplay span
Poetic attention


So here we come
With creative ideas
As if to sum
Rhymes with passionate cheer
To pound and drum
Cast to dilute our fears


Alphabet soup
Attend to sober change
Feel surge of coup
Ascend and descend strange
As fond fruits droop
To expose nervous range

Like the Chinese says…
‘ one generation plants a tree,
another gets the shade’.
If watered verily, the tree blossom.
The tree expands in branches,
and bears seeds for another plant.

This is the story of life.

life is living, live it.
Life is a seed, sow it.
Life is purpose, fulfill it. 
Life is an issue, attend to it.
Life is matter, fill it. 
Life is matter of life and death. 
Life is a mind-blowing experience....
