Scanty snippets on/of poetry
A poet has to manifest herself in a safe environment. This is such a place for my early baby steps. The wonders of the world and my inner thoughts mingle. They become one. It’s a journey of the soul, a spark of the mind, and a bit of spit. For more "Poet @ Work 2 [18+], "In honest simple verse [E]

A glimpse of nature


On the other hand: it might be a brooding place for challenges and poetry contests, some of which required ONE STAR RATING. (In case somebody wonders about the *StarB* *StarB*gracing this blog) A large group of writers participated in this challenge that required to rate as low as possible. So, it doesn't mean this blog is a bad blog or that they reviewed mean, it was required and this is the consequence. Alas!

April 9—ghost, ghostly

Loop poetry on an apparition

It was an evening like this
This one of the early days in spring
Spring weather and daffodils
Daffodils looming in the sun
Sun bright, brisk feel
Feel the afternoon into the night
Night’s dark, opaque, when
When suddenly
Suddenly there he stood
Stood erect and in the dim light
Light’s trick of the eye?
Eye’s clear and voice
Voiced my dead dad
“Daddy’s girl, let’s look at you
You grown last time I saw
Saw some wrinkles, gray hair’s streak”
Streak of light?
Light’s out
Out came my cry
Cried in my sleep
Sleepy’s wishful thinking.

April 8—something illegal

Something illegal

“President Trump’s order barring immigration
from seven Muslim-majority countries is illegal”,
says an expert in a newspaper.

Sound of silence…

The 1965’s Act of Immigration and Nationality
strives all discrimination against immigrants
on the basis of national origin forbidden.

Sound of cheering…

Besides the fact that I find it morally wrong
to ban people at random,
the ones affected have nothing to do with
terrorists committing crimes.

Sound of static...

April 7—poem based on a tiny object

One grain of rice

One grain of rice
painted
as a miniature picture

small, smaller, smallest
letters, a bird, a face?

Suffice to state:
Micro art
at its finest

A labor of love
and a steady hand
a keen eye

and the stamina
of a monk

dot, dot, dot

Six and a half
millimeter
of beauty

—Oops!
There goes.

April 6—poem based on a dream
Flying

Flying without wings.

Just
diving off a cliff
into the abyss.

No fear, no fright
in flight.

Knowing I could flitt and
flutter and float
because
I can do anything
in a dream.

Flying equals freedom!

Or release of
sexual energy
Freud would say.

April 5. Poem 5.
April 5—something unfinished

[Sometimes]

Sometimes
I act
as if
my life is over.

For example:
I only see old people
in the streets these days.

The younger ones
(they’re outnumbered)
I examine carefully
with a smile on my face
and an instant memory
of me being that age.

I am invisible,
of a certain era.
No longer a looker
with a swift walk.

I study faces, people
to remind me
of times gone bye
and
on top of that

I watch daytime television!

URGH

— the news,
but still:
that’s something
really, really old people do
with lots of time
on their hands
and numbered
days

—or poets
looking for clues.

April 1—rust, or the color rust

Rusty ~ An Acrostic poem

Rusty:
Under pressure
Style and form variable
This needs exploration …
Yell: "I want to write a poem!"

Yay: I need to express myself!
T’being months without writing lyrics
So I better get on that word wagon
Unify a poem a day for 30 days
Ravish, if I can pull this off.

Around the Christmas tree.

Christmas tree, Christmas tree
Christmas’ only tool
Oh, what joy it is to fill
The stockings: presents full.

Pull, Christmas tree, Christmas tree
Christmas' only tool
Oh, what joy it is to fill
The stockings: presents full.

We dining with our friends
And family’s on their way
We give each other heart
And glee is here to stay.

We kiss each other’s cheeks
And bless the winter time
We sit around the tree
With candle light and lime.

Lo, Christmas tree, Christmas tree
Christmas' only tool
Oh, what joy it is to fill
The stockings: presents full.

Pull, Christmas tree, Christmas tree
Christmas' only tool
Oh, what joy it is to fill
The stockings: presents full.

SPAMVILLE, Mysterious South Pacific Island

George Hormel Sr. disappeared
What happened to his flesh?
They put in cans thru out the world
Eating SPAM - don’t get a rash!

A trip followed up by us, SPAMmets
taken it’s toll, with ghosts and all
The world spammed out with keys
to solve a mystery: we had a ball!

So when you eat your pick of meat
Think of Hormel and of SPAM
Think of the wraiths we saw this week
who greeted us with a BANG

Tis Halloween today, so don’t forget
the different cities and ghosts we met!

Pelabuhan Ratu, Indonesia

GUNA-GUNA with a touch of SPAM

In the Far East, a girl was seen
~ she loved the color green ~
Her beauty turned ugly now
by GUNA-GUNA somehow.

Jumping the cliff, (not the spike)
towards her end, she thought
Instead turning Goddess-like:
a ghostly package she bought.

In Room 308 of the special Inn
she roams the night and shores
Nyai Loro Kidul haunts next of kin,
scares tourists in the moors.

This poet is of Indonesian pull
~SPAMming with others to might ~
Her favorite is Nyai Loro Kidul
and her ghostly greenish light.

Notes on SPAM on Stage: The Princess Theatre, Australia

Frederick Baker sang Mephistopheles on stage:
” The best thing here’s to make a single choice,
Then simply swear by your master’s voice
On the whole, to words stick fast!
Through the safest gate, you’ll pass
To the Temple of Certainty.”

When hell opened up
Frederici died.

Sing, sang, song
Song, hissing, hush
Hush his voice
Voice of death
Death and ghost
Ghost appeared.

Oh, Mamma Mia!

Having a hot spam lunch at The Sai Ying Pun Community Complex.

Chinese food with spam consists of
pork shoulder meat, with ham meat added,
salt, water, modified potato starch as a binder,
sugar, and sodium nitrite as a preservative.

The delivery guy sets himself on fire
wearing a traditional Chinese costume:
“Lo! Back in the days, this place was
for the Japanese chopping off some heads.

You’ll find their meat in the spam.
That’ll be ten twenty, thank you, ma'am!”

The Bhanghar Fort, India
A letter to Princess Ratnavati of Bhangarh in teachings of tantra:

Dear Princess,
The making of love medicine: ghee, honey,
sugar and licorice in equal quantities, the juice
of the fennel plant, and milk mixed together.
This nectar-like composition is said to be holy,
and provocative of sexual vigor, a preservative of life,
and sweet to the taste.

The drinking of a paste composed
of the asparagus racemosus, the shvadaushtra plant,
the guduchi plant, the long pepper, and liquorice, boiled in milk,
honey, and ghee, in the spring, is of the same effect as the above.

Boiling the asparagus racemosus, and the shvadaushtra plant,
along with the pounded fruits of the premna spinosa in water,
and drinking it, is said to act in the same way.

Please accept this lesson with the gift of wonderful oil for your beautiful skin.

Sincerely yours,
Singhia, the Wizard.

Beelzebub’s cat at Hell Fire Club on Montpelier Hill, Ireland

I killed my cat
I killed my cat while under
I killed my cat while under the influence
I killed my cat while under the influence of Satan

Twas 1725
Twas 1725 and the mass
Twas 1725 and the mass took place
Twas 1725 and the mass took place right here

So I roam
So I roam the nights
So I roam the nights dressed up
So I roam the nights dressed up in white

With Kitty under my arm! Purr.

THE WABASHA STREET CAVES, St. Paul, MN

In the caves underneath the street
is a saloon, yeah you heard it right
Wabasha rules – (SPAM is No meat!
No sirry, no sirry, but it might)

Dillinger or Baker, which troublemaker?
shot them down: all three hooligans.
Buried the corpses and with a shaker
celebrated Prohibition shenanigans.

In our days the ugly ghosts still roam
~there have been sightings so they say:
Three stooges and Ho Nina’s peristome;
mist and apparitions? 50 bucks you pay.

Yeah, 50 bucks you pay.

When you follow unwritten
laws it seems meaningful, meaningful
to fill up the backpack with little flags
and the inevitable ice scraper.

Next of kin are this way
enabled to point out the different
spots, to repeat the event
afterwards.

Please take the stairs
to the highest floor
and spare the elevator.

Sincerely,
Management.
