In the Construct of Glutted Days
~~~~~ In the depths, the canyons of urban landscape, Where, I wonder, should I think to find beauty? Difficult to know where I might start my search. Should I go to a park, surround by busy streets, With sounds of commerce, traffic roaring past? A museum, perhaps, full of line, design, people Crowded cheek by […]
Ashamed
~~~~~ We should all be ashamed. None of us must remain unnamed, Whatever we believe now, Not matter what we learned, or how Or we believed yesterday, What we were taught, not in our DNA, We are ever likely to believe, Open our eyes; we are being deceived. The time we are breathing, Whether we’re […]
Mad is in the Air ~ So Vote!
Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Over coffee with a friend during the primaries, we discussed tRump. We disagreed about the tRump phenomenon. While I feel the rhetoric of hate, bigotry, misogyny he spews sets a dangerous tone, incites conflict and reduces the presidency and government to the level […]
The Eternal Mystery of Phileas, the Lesser: I Must Admit
In this dim season of darkening light, When day is eclipsed by growing night, I walk on, crackling crispness, fast-fallen leaves, Like shots from a distant fight. Stark, bare limbs filter the weakened Sunlight, all that my starved skin receives. I hurry homeward through the gloom. The afternoon, the evening falling, Wrapping itself in nighttime’s […]
Because We Have Not Stopped A Poet’s Words with Poets’ Words
~~~~~ When many commit cruel murder, macho maniacs brutally rape, mad hermits dream and decimate, Then, will we need to know where the sidewalk ends, where a phenomenal woman’s secrets lie? While daily tribunes trumpet madness, feasts of destruction, humanity the savage, ravenous beast, Will it matter if we take the road less traveled,if we […]
Aftershocks
~~~~~ Oh, I feel sorry for all those people from the past, Before the invention of the miraculous cell phone. Think about it; we have eliminated boredom at last. Food pics, cat vids, holding almost all info known. Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, follow me on […]
Prufrock’s Lament
With the current news in the world, both economic and political, the aggression, bigotry, misogyny and xenophobia, it seemed time to revisit Prufrock, with thanks to T.S. Eliot for his original brilliance. War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength; Trumpery is Reality ~~~~~ Let us slow then, you and I. When vile emissions […]
Sarabande for Missing Magic
~~~~~ Missing magic, miracles, All vanished, Nowhere to be found. From vast spaces, Gone. Into unseen Miniscule interstices Between atoms, Disappeared. Despite clues, Maps and legends, Whispered rumors; Whereabouts remained Unknown. Quests were mounted. Heroes came forth. Solo adventurers, Fellowships, too, Robber’s trusts; All trekked far, Endured miles Uncounted. Mighty mountains Scaled, Storm-wracked seas Sailed, […]
Simple Man
~~~~~ I am a simple man. Because I believe the human race can change, I am a dreamer. Because I believe everyone should understand, I am naïve. Because I believe if enough people say no, it will matter, I am a fool. Because I say this to other people, I am a simpleton. Because I […]
Musings on a String Octet
~~~~~ The bows glide up and down, back and forth, Rapidly, but oh how sing the lyrical strings. Soft, slow, fostering feelings of great worth; Played by masters, the rapture music brings. ~~~~~ See more of my creative offerings and opinions at: Brent Harris Fine Art Philip Brent Digital Art Vida Voices Scriggler TPM The Extra […]
