Masterpiece
masterpiece n. 1. A person’s greatest piece of work, as in art. 2. Anything done with masterly skill. I believe most if not all people understand what is meant by the word masterpiece. Though our definitions may vary, we all have an idea of what we think it means. In the west, we associate […]
Thoughts About Winning
Everyone I know likes to win, games, contests, lotteries or almost anything. Winning makes us believe the universe or the (G)god or gods we believe in have noticed us. More, not only have they noticed us, they approve. I’ve never quite grasped the concept that some supreme being, responsible for the entire universe, spared much […]
Simple Complexity ~ Complex Simplicity
Why then must poetry’s meaning be couched Like the imagined sea-sound heard in a shell May fleeting beauty, convoluted truth be vouched Said simply and offered crystal-clear from a well Will it help if I use night to presage age or death Flying birds or forests standing in for nature’s glory Will unformed clay, […]

TRIKU II
Triku ~ 5-7-5 ~ equals three word Haiku. I try to give them some sense or make them humorous and I think I succeeded in most cases. Here are my next seven. I hope you enjoy my word play. Indiscriminate Inconsequentially Cannibalistic Pronunciation: Denuclearization Mythological Archeology: Memorialization Figuratively Puritanism: Polarization Continuation Politically Antiglobalization Abnormality Technically […]
FICTIONAL REALITY
When we visit a museum or gallery, read a book or watch a movie we tend to believe the art, the creative expression portrays what the artist saw. But are we sure? I’m not referring to style. I am not willing to say that Dali, Bosch, Escher and others didn’t see the worlds the created. […]
