MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Newly Discovered’

01.June 202310.December 2023Leave a comment

safe not sorry, I write my story
sitting upright I feel quite alright
rhyming is not in anymore
I read somewhere tonight
when one tends to be a herbivore

so I scratch my head in disbelief
now I could not imagine
to become a writer of haiku
words pouring out too many a line

in meditation there is no time
let me get out of the controlling mind
and let the words write themselves
without further edit
let us see if
anyone actually read it

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Once’

18.May 202308.December 2023Leave a comment

once we see the light we cannot unsee it
once we push through we find the way
once we dream big small dreams merge into one
once we get into the flow the river vanishes
once we see through the drama life becomes fresh
once we draw on strength we find more of it available
once we develop new senses we become a new being
once time disappears the once becomes now
and now what

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘The Belly’

07.May 202324.May 2023Leave a comment

disappearing waistline
weight of extra pounds
restricted breathing
wheezing sounds

water in the kettle
boiled to drink
per wisdom of sages
makes ones belly shrink

armed by soft tissue
cells of squishy fat
cover years of abuse
one reason for that

search for solutions
slim shake that fails
give it a try and then
buy larger scales
