A Fib

From
The
Mountain
Top, see the
Otherside, and wish
It was easy to run down fast
And beat the wind to the bottom as it rushes on by.

------

A Cadae

Got a
what?
A crazy scientist
In chains, irons and wires.
Electric switching circuit designing
For an old lighting bulb.

The fib and cadae are poem styles, mathematical in structure...
Edit:
One follows the fibonacci sequence, the other Pi...

-------

I think we may have more problems working with the wardrobe department...

Spring is here

zephyrs whisper ‘cross the field,
motes of pollen, anther peeled.
drunken bees, bumble on
pimping ‘til the day is done.

lacewings new,
bake their wings, from morning dew.
swallows flitting through the blue
spring’s now full, a thrilling hue.

blackbird’s thrilling chorus
ever free, wild thesaurus.
spawn hatchings fill the pond,
nature’s magic with her wand.

welcome life’s new season here,
balmy days we hold them dear.

but be careful, winter may just bite you

shorn of warmth; the earth
of frozen diamonds,
that scintillate
in full moon glow,
a myriad of prisms cold
and beauty hard,
beneath our feet
that crunch along the way,
‘cross silvery green
towards the rising glow
of another dawn.

The Sun

blazing forth through frozen void,
by power of atoms all destroyed
golden orb which rules our life
cuts the night with sharpened knife.
blazing fires o’er miles and miles
our synapses, they waken
as retinal displays be shaken.
hues galore
from land to sky, sea to shore
our gaze
always amaze.

bravo for daring to rhyme "chorus" and "thesaurus".

I am just...shocked! A luckdragon dorky? Why poor Falkor would be rolling in his grave ([crashrumbleCRASH!] "Shut-up, Falkor!" BANGBANGBANG!] "You keep that up, airpoodle, and I swear you'll only get a half-ration of sautéed squirrel for afterdinner mince!" Don't mind him folks, he's never got over Bastian growing up to become an RIAA lawyer. Now poor Falkor is just angry all the time...and, yes, now this "carnivorous" thing ~sigh~).

Anyway, "dorky"? Shocked! (like I said).

Cheers,
Marc ("There, there, Falkor. I was just joking about the squirrel-ration...")

The resemblance is uncanny. I really must do something about the hair on my ears.

Shy Edith wears
her grandmother's cross
when she poses for me --
rising slowly with each breathe
like a prayer

zelda_pinwheel · 05-28-2008, 02:31 PM

ah, that's really beautiful.

Taylor514ce · 05-28-2008, 02:34 PM

Tasteful, respectful, yet with the implication of bare breasts.

zelda_pinwheel · 05-28-2008, 02:45 PM

it's all you, in sum.

Agreed. Perhaps PH should change his avatar such that he's always staring at or, at least contemplating, bare breasts. By the way, I like the poem, PH, as usual. You're very talented, if fixated.

zelda_pinwheel · 05-28-2008, 03:45 PM

whatever avatar he has, you can be sure it's contemplating breasts at any given moment.

He's staring off screen (off-avatar) so he probably already is .... for all we know.
