Or

“I do not know

which to prefer,

The beauty of inflections

Or

the beauty of innuendos

The blackbird whistling

Or

just after.”

~ Wallace Stevens

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

either

which one

choices that confound

so many to choose from

or

Senryu:      5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

.

stupid cannot learn

ignorant has yet to learn

do we have a choice ? ? ?

.

Poem:

.

we have a choice
to be mean or kind
signaled by a tone of voice
habits which spring to mind

when angered do we see red
when kind do we hear the angels sing
can we see inside of our head
do we get another life with the golden ring

should the stupid carry a flag
are humans on the decline
does love carry a price tag
when will life have to resign

choices, democracy or socialism
there is no compromise,
since neither leads to altruism
will this be man’s demise

will there be one soul left who will know the outcome
why worry, why save, go ahead and eat the last piece of pie
when all else fails, just choose not to be glum
even during daytime there are stars in the sky

be the optimist, be kind
have faith, a loving Creator made this His ultimate design.

Whatever It Is

.

“I am solitary

as grass.

What is it I miss?

Shall I ever find it,

whatever it is?”

.
~ Sylvia Plath

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

stupid

can’t learn

memorized by rote

having not yet learned

ignorant

.

Haiku:

.

bright lightning flashes

loud thunder claps following

furious wind gust

.

.

.

Poem:

.

It goes, whatever It is.
It will go on without me.
It is life, the quiz.
It is never free.

It is the good question.
It is the dubious answer.
It is the impression.
It is the brain power.

if I caught It
what would I do with It
life is such a nebulous It
living is to enjoy It

It comes.
It goes.
is It a plan from a Higher Source
It is whatever you want It to be

tag – – – your It
