Premium Member A Poem
A poem should explain itself -- define what it is – at the poem’s prepping, by the poet done all the required kneading whether healing or bleeding, a poem should be its own hunger or feeding -- should stand alone clear-day, or cloud seeding -- In conclusion – poem’s should require only a reader reading…....

THE MIST OF PRIDE
Can you ever be pleased, mankind? Everything we try, yet we're met with night. We're nerds, unaware of the truth's light, When all that pleases you lies in deceitful sight. "Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world" Yet we strive to fit, in a world that's flawed from birth. Truth's told when falsehoods behold your desire's flame, Emulate to...

Water, 30 random word prompt
The weight of the water is heavy in my chest, a force pressing against the ribs. It rises when I don’t expect it, like a flood breaking through cracked, neglected seams. The truck of my memory rumbles through my mind, rusty with age, hauling fragments I thought were extinguished long ago. I paste the pieces...

Missed opportunity – Main-course or a quick warmer-upper, Soup is precious to my table of wholesome Etiquette and expression. ...

Premium Member Just Watch
"Whose discernment is correct?!" "They read but don't watch for Me, So simple truth turns knotty: Captives in a doctrinal fence, Their interpretations lack sense, Their expertise a mere pretense. The truth originates with Me, My illumination lets you see: Your eyes see what I've planned, Your ears obey My command, Your mind will then understand. My people will be purified, My enemies will be petrified: My plans...

Premium Member Water Droplets
Morning dew clings tight To thin branches reaching to the sky While gravity tugs down. Crystal balls reflect the world While keeping their secrets. Some round, some oval, Frosty beads and clear droplets, Nature's chandelier. Light breaks through water droplets, Forming bridges to the sky. Mirror and lens both, Each drop shows what surrounds it And makes it larger. Some eyes were wide open in awe, Others are dreaming,...

Premium Member A PERCEPTIVE VIBE FROM ME TO YOU
Come sit and vibe with me, With an open mind receptacle; Listen to my pouring out of positivity And to what you may find acceptable:- Oh, in the challenges of life, We must put all things in perspective; Particularly those that bring about strife, And propels us into being self-reflective:- Perspective prepares personal preservation. Heeding one to stop putting self down in demoralization:- No! drop...

Wisdom
Wisdom doesn't come by birth or age. Wisdom is gained by difficult situations With it comes the understanding in life. Wisdom doesn't comes by smooth ride Wisdom is shown by a bumpy reaction With whom you learned by inferential meaning in life....

Premium Member A POETIC TIMELINE
The mind hangs in silence, All is stilled, thoughts lingering Lazily, as if in cosmic animation; No words drip from the faucet that once Streamed waters of creation, and now is Only empty air passing over an idle lexis; How deceiving is the thought, idle mind:- A dormant volcano creates its explosive flow Does not the idle mind quietly stream likewise?! There’s no creation...
