The Spontaneous Overflow

.

“Poetry is

the spontaneous overflow

of powerful feelings:

it takes its origin

from emotion recollected

in tranquility.”

.

.

~ William Wordsworth

Elfje:         (Cinquain)

.

loud

ear piercing

rapping, banging, pulsating

oversized car audio system

obnoxious

.

Haiku:

.

morning chill no frost

cold air moves towards tropics

winter ebbs and flows

.

Poem:

Tranquillity, serenity , peace, quiet and calm
destroyed by the horrific moron next door
there is no app for that on my favorite dot.com
instincts have been reduced to pacing the floor

Something is trying to teach me a lesson
can’t see the value in patience and tolerance
learning the two step to avoid depression
praying to God to rid me of this annoyance

Is this a new game, what’s it called
war, battle, shoot, maim, destroy
can’t figure out why no one is appalled
to the mentally disturbed it’s more than a toy

The console a babysitter with no parental control
addictive behaviors being fine tuned
rapidly disappearing down the rabbit hole
to a life of failure they are surely doomed

A grateful heart will never be jealous
but for the grace of a Higher Power
protect those who you value precious
don’t let the insane destroy your ivory tower

Every day will hold at least one blessing
smile, it keeps them guessing.

Philosophical

.

poetry is

“the most philosophical

of all writing”

whose object is

“truth…carried alive

into the heart by passion”.

.

~ William Wordsworth    (1770-1850)

.

Elfje:         (Cinquain)

.

urge

restless desire

an instinctive motive

natural disposition towards scratching

itch

.

Lune:    5 / 3 / 5

.

follow the hearts lead

believe love

the best emotion

.

Poem:

.

for every philosophy that is true
there is a philosophy that is blue

if it doesn’t fit, create a new word
greek or latin base preferred

when is a debate not an argument
is being stupid a thought impairment

each philosophy ends in the same black hole
we are all unique as is every lump of coal

treat every day as a commencement
all souls have received the same life sentence

find a philosophy that you may call your own
one that the world would be glad to clone

seeking the will of a Higher Power
may lead you to the top of the ivory tower

be kind, be forgiving, practice unconditional love
this philosophy will bring blessings from above

be the best happy dance choreographer
and always be the good hearted philosopher
