Analogies always

Build better broadcasts

Cause we prefer kinship

Descriptive meanings

            O, how we adore ample analogies!

Watching ground targets

Stretching limbs in weakness
Meeting beginnings

Refusing to define
Even worse to explain
On the surface descriptive
At its essence mundane
Restating excuses
Ensconcing the lie
The sage waxed poetic
  —you still asking why

Despicable

A descriptive word—
That’s always hitting its mark!
Attacks and hurts us . . . 
	Hateful, wicked, and cruel . . . 
Degrades the human spirit!

in your memories
ebbing, white-capped
look upon me in enduring favor

one moment plucked
from the rest
still crisply descriptive
when most is lost

these abandoned cells
bide in hope
of being revisited
begged to tell their fable
one last time

in your mirror
an unfamiliar girl
let me remind you...

Letters make them up
can be long and short
descriptive and simple
really it matters not

They can show love
but also can describe hate
since creation they’ve been used
to speak like on a plate

What would this world be like?
if we had not a word
would it be better or worse?
or would wish to be a bird

Herald Hermit is a man
Who for see's the future fast
As his eyes are envelopes
Diaries of distant past
As a Hermit he is this
As a Hermit loneliness

In a dark descriptive room
Watching the decay of day
Talking to his thoughts in time
Married moon-and he the groom
As a hermit loneliness
As a Herald Hermit is...

Sniffs of cotton candy glide
Glistening like hairy sugar bombs
Through barns of dozy prized cows
Stinky squeaky piggies squeal off-key
While whirligig Ferris Wheels grind and spin
In the hum of the Tilt-A-Whirl and giddy voices

We have a writer named Deb on this site.
Reading her work is a sure delight.
She works wonders with words and rhyme.
Her writings are delightful all of the time.
Deb’s subjects are many and diverse.
Descriptive and lyrical are each and every verse.
Being someone intelligent and astute,
we all owe this poetess a big salute....

Sore without 
 You Are depressants beyond descriptive
This place misplaced
Beyond missing displaced 
You disappeared beyond mid-air
Alas you were just here 
Now you're gone you disappeared 
You were just a vapor in the air
Like to win like the air here invisible

NOW SEEN

Descriptive words can tell all
A soul defined by its shape
Discretion is most valued
Yet identity prevails

Designed by both hand and mind
Something important to say
Perhaps in a paler shade
Than may be felt by the heart

Its subtle form is revealed
Hiding behind a curtain
As if moved by gentle breeze
A Chinese quatrain exposed
...

The poet sat perplexed at the moving of the pen
Was he writing prose of was it poetry again?
Verse by verse it poured on out
It seemed to him a silent shout
Descriptive words, symphony and vibrant light
Reach out expressively, he knew he had to write
It wasn’t just some wayward words that streaked forth from his pen
He knew that he had written poetry again...

I would probably start with dimensions
but turn to the doctor for more
Seconds queue behind eternities
Air frozen in favour
Comparison would be next
But what is the opposite of life
Shrouded movie spectres
demons hell are plentiful
Lights that magnetise
Descriptive shade and shape
The virgin visitor
who meets us all just once
but then who would we tell...

Raindrops falling,
          Blessings from heaven,
                    Like crystals continuous pouring,
                              It’s like feast we’re celebrating.

The sounds are soothing,
          Feels like sleeping,
                    Melodies are breathtaking,
                             Each drops like a hymn.

Four for the Road..!!


The seeker

Is seeking a story

Bringing relief

Without dissolving

The story...



It 

All comes back

To nothing

A word

A seeming something

Which is and is not

It...



It 

Can appear

Prescriptive or

Descriptive

But always

Empty...



Purpose

In life is

A story arising

Identifying me

With a unique

Purpose......

We have only a moment
till our present is past
for only in memory
can anything last

why we have photos
descriptive notes
recordings we make
thinking somehow the 
moments can be stored
to take

but minds fail
and technologies have
glitches
just pass a whisper around
then compare while laughing
in stitches

wondering if life
is the butt of some joke
in the end all moments
going up in smoke...

A three dimensional word
mean so very much
for we all need it
as we love its vital touch

Firstly we have an en
both by self are a letter
but when put together
do sound so much better

When we think of courage
we think of battles and war
but it means so much more
for so many things its needed for

It’s a descriptive word
this reaches its final part
showing what is meant
to speak it from our heart

Wallace Stevens said: 
"Poetry is not personal."
He tried never to divulge
anything about himself
in his poems.

Or so he said.
But, the work 
is self-revelatory, veiled confessions,
repeated choices -- water, sea motion,
weather, the sky -- introspective isolation --
those silences and descriptive phrases
that communicate and characterize.

Human, 
no one -- especially not poets --
can really hide....
