The Watch


thought

Responding to the challenge to write on any topic, using exactly 100 words without using the same word inclusive of articles, excluding the title of the piece, twice: 

This symbol of life lived bequeathed for safekeeping into the future. Its workings represent passing seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years endured until energies expended denote an end charted long before birth.  Tarnished gold casing, cracked crystal measure toil, hardship and pain suffered through life’s enduring past brought forward in rewarding peace.

Grave markers symbolize forever what shall be given to lives remaining as memory’s keeper endowed by material possessions gained, accumulate, box stored, preserved, weathered age’s signs showing.

Cemetery gates’ embrace quells past turbulence beneath soil demarcating Souls’ light risen, body’s deep sleep.

Words for Dollar$


 pyramid

It’s not a surprising inevitability the blogosphere is increasingly being utilized as a platform for ‘get rich quick’ schemes to proliferate but, the question that need be asked: Does the motivation to attract ‘followers’ stem from the desire to present quality, original material or, simply to add to a list of others amongst whom, are those willing to participate in a pyramid scheme to make fast money?

 The basic formula to these schemes is to create a blog site that will convince others; by creating a blog site to attract others to join for a modest fee, subsequently shared up the pyramid-shaped totem of affiliates. Given the countless numbers the Internet can reach daily, each new fresh set of eyes presents a real opportunity to make significant dollar amounts by convincing a fraction of them to join the scheme.

No one can fault anyone for desiring to make fast, easy wealth by doing something they are already doing but, as with any pyramid scheme, the greater wealth goes to those above at the expense of those below and secondly, the blogosphere becomes inundated and consumed by meaningless tripe and ultimately diminishes the potential and experience of the tool.

Oh, by the way, since you read to this point can I interest you in……

Share


share

the only living desire

is, by words, to inspire

for this, I am no liar

for never, do I tire

to light the mental fire

to conjure before I retire

images to take my reader higher

in order we may mutually conspire

to share, as moments transpire

Challenge


 winds

the winds of change,

by wit, some lay claim,

bring for some, providence to fame

to others, a wrath to disdain

regardless, it does remain,

the human spirit can sustain

challenge; by the winds of change.

Genetic Unfolding


face

 

Viewing old pictures of my brother next to me
He appears the more masculine in nature
The difference is not hard to see
This quirk of genetic unfolding
A hidden clue for differences to our journey path
He the wiser chosen; accomplishments all showing
I the sufferer, to all life’s potential wrath
This is not a sobbing tale of sibling rivalry
Nor a sorrowful cry of `oh wow-is-me’
But a case for simple human discovery
Of genetic unfolding of one’s life to be

this life’s place


wintsprg

it’s a sunny day but a cold wind blows

the kind of day it normally snows

though Spring season is formally here

by all accounts this fact has not been made clear

the seemingly endless months of winter’s norm

renders the mind grey as a raging storm

pointless seems the need from bed to arise

especially when snow-flakes float before your waking eyes

woh’s me; want away from this infused-winter gloom

endless back and forth strides in my living room

if this spring-summer’s warmth fails to soon arrive

It’s not sure how much longer this life’s place – I will abide!

vocation


 jpaper

prisoner to this world of literary creation

word-smith to constructs of elation

though accolades are a deflation

feedback commentary give indication

if want is for self-immolation

or search for alternate vocation

both a source of much consternation

yielding less pleasure than masturbation

thus rendering this poem to nullification

NEW BOOK: pre-RELEASE


 

I am pleased to announce the pre-release of my latest book of poetry titled:

REFLECTION – RESPONSE  through the voice of poetry.

As an introduction, this collection of poems is premised on reflection of the many important and diverse issues facing the global human community today and, through the voice of poetry, express my personal response to a perceived affect these issues are having on human, societal evolution.  Interspersed amongst these poems are several reflecting a personal philosophy toward life, sexuality and the environment.

I hope you would take a few moments to visit my Self-publishing website to review the contents of this book and I would be further honored if you found it worthy of comment.  It will soon be available in a variety of print format including, as an e-book for I-pad and tablet.

Thank you in advance for your time in this regard.

Enjoy:

An Expressive Response


I have been more then expressive, speaking from the heart,
All but a few mental words is needed to give a start,
To convey meaning to a message, an emotional spark,
To its reader; my intent being, more than just a lark.

Accolade or attention is not the purpose of desire,
Simply, it’s the  earnest intent by words, to inspire,
To garner an expressive response that does fuel my fire,
To give meaning to all I do, rather then from it, retire.
