Does A Horse Floss Its Teeth Before Or After Eating?

Are you being taken for granted?
And this you believe,
You have a power to prevent it...
When events depict,
Whether you are aware of this or not...
Will not make a difference,
Since you've allowed it to start.

Let me console you with this,
To sit and ponder your negligence...
Does a horse floss its teeth,
Before or after eating bales of hay?
And if the hay is there as should be,
With the same expectation everyday...
Will the horse really care who supplies it?

A Providing of the Ingredients

I will not fantasize anyone's innocence,
To depict ideals given no chance to exist.
What is observed today is as is.
And those who popularized an escaping,
From a yesterday that has gone away...
Colorized to hypnotize desires,
To portray themselves in ways their delusions...
Could only accept.
Will always find what is currently uncovered,
To be distasteful.
And yet...
A providing of the ingredients,
Came delivered as choice selections they chose.
But today refuse to be served to eat.

Cooking Of A Poetry

I eat her style,
I eat her smile,
I eat her walk,
I eat her talk.

My eyes hook
To eat her look,
We be on couch
To eat her touch.

I eat her fashion,
I eat her passion,
I eat her feelings,
The moments reeling.

Gobble the words,
Swallow proverbs,
Pour the spices
Of depth, conciseness,

Dissected From Origins of Significance

No matter how it is done.
Whether it is one,
Or a collective gathering of 'some'.
Whatever is dropped...
When watched,
Will hit bottom!
Whether breaking into pieces or not.
An intention has succeeded to create disturbance.

It will never find rest.
From 'that' it has departed.
And debates will not restore it back,
To its place of comfort.
Much like many discoveries,
Dissected from origins of significance.
To have efforts depict it to please an action,
Declared a worthless activity of time spent.

An Imitation Of Anacreon

PAINTER in Paphos and Cythera famed
Depict, I pray, the absent Iris' face.
Thou hast not seen the lovely nymph I've named;
The better for thy peace.--Then will I trace
For thy instruction her transcendent grace.
Begin with lily white and blushing rose,
Take then the Loves and Graces... But what good
Words, idle words? for Beauty's Goddess could
By Iris be replaced, nor one suppose
The secret fraud--their grace so equal shows.
Thou at Cythera couldst, at Paphos too,
Of the same Iris Venus form anew.

Nonfiction Lit

Nonfiction lit published manuscripts,
Or those fixed to fire up some fiction...
With friction,
May depict some composers of literature...
As mavericks.
Selecting to pick just the right words,
To get their voices heard.

Some choices made take nerve to disturb.
With intention to encourage a thought process.
And some are censored if too much truth is produced.
Since some exposed become offended,
With a wish to reduce a seduction that intends...
To threaten the popularity of delusion,
Kept exclusively controlled.

The 'Bad' Guy

Selecting to depict one who has achieved,
A doing of activities produced publicly...
As a despicable 'bad' guy to dissect,
And pull apart...
Is a thing done that people do,
When one has proven their obtained experience...
And accomplishments can be of benefit to others.

However...
If not persuaded to be 'used',
A labelling declared to be everything negative...
Than what he is or has given,
Will become the topic to diffuse...
That which has been positively done.
Proving demons will always make attempts,
To have their way.

In a Slow Acceptance

They wish to depict...
Others as being threatening and wicked.
And yet...
They leave death.
Wherever they step...
To be greeted in peace.
As they give these perceptions,
Upon such meetings!

Those unsuspecting,
Find themselves unexpectedly inspected.
And defending against those appearing as sheep...
With sharpened teeth!
Equipped with anesthetics...
With dosages to put all to sleep,
In a slow acceptance!
With an essence expected!

'We gather together to ask the Lord's blessings.
We hasten and chasten 'His will' to make known...'

Picture

Meadow of matchsticks,
soon to be rekindled
by Spring the incendiary.

The exact flame of your blossoms
will ignite the passions
happily sapped by time--

Dripdrop their excess went
and now miners' hats
light up like love before

your vein, the frame of which
is there to depict the drift,
the waste when I painted

all the review copies
they sent me. But those books
open to polar pages where you

Audience

Hello Stranger,
Which seat did you take?
My feet dawdle by the parquetry
My knees squirm in a rattle
As I inquired for vigor
Amidst the unvoiced languor
In your sincerity
And the spectral company
That moored my anticipation
And dragged me to this stage.
In row, in line
I cowered and sighed
As I pensively scanned
An emptied theater
Yet, I carried on
Reciting another poem:
"Hello Stranger,
I knew you won't be here
But I ensued anyway,
Head above water,
