Prompt: Falling Poem
Failing Falling
It is that feeling of falling
Failing, falling, failing
I fail often
My goal
To fail without the
Feeling of falling
Careening
Down
Down
Down
Nothing to catch the fall
No recovery
The bottom
The slow assent
Balance precariously
To fail again
To fall
Down
Down
Down
To know the fall in the failure
Isn't real
Only a dream
I rise to fall again
To fail better
Without the fall

Land of Enchantment
Thoughts "recount"
My responses
Words "sprouting"
In the garden of my mind
Creates "message" of spring
Words into "phrases"
True explanation "inept"
In their place
Traces of "scars"
"Crude" images "forever"
Drawn upon the skin
After rain
Ideas ring like "silver" bells
Across the "perfumed" sage
All raises to a "crescendo"
Visions and emotions
Land of enchantment
Is not "flattery"

Magpie #63
Magpie #63 is a Mystery
I do not understand
What I see
Bright colors
Red and green
Kaleidoscope
Radiating light
I am reminded
Of the movie
"What the Blank Do We Know?"
In the movie
A story was told
Of the first people
Came to the shore
Looked out to the sea
Saw ships on the horizon
Because they had
Never seen them
Before and did not know
Of them
Had no language
To speak of them
It was concluded
They did not see them
I'm not sure I have
Words to speak
Is it bright lights of a circus
Or lights on a Christmas tree
Even though the colors are bright
I think it is something
I do not see

NaPoWriMo Day #25
Identifying Who is Who
Yes, I was offended
That slimy son of
The Reverend Billy Graham
Was the first thing I saw
And heard this morning
Talking to Meka
Saying, "Because a person
Attended a Christian Church
That didn't make him a Christian,
Not a good Christian
Like himself who had
Dedicated his life to christ"
He said the President himself
Had told him he was a Christian
And he believed him, but......
The implication was that
The President of the United States
Wasn't a Christian that really
Measured up
When asked directly
Oh no, he said he
Would never judge a Christian
And yet...
That was exactly what was implied
As they showed the President
And his family attending Church
On Easter Sunday
I think there have been
Other Presidents who
Only attended church
Occasionally
I don't think I have ever
Heard a representative
Of the Church
Casting doubt on
The beliefs or the faith
Of another American President
Perhaps you do not think
It appropriate for me to say
But this lowly person
Was speaking publicly on TV
For all the world to see
What kind of organization
Is this
And who would want to
Be a part of that
Just something
I had to get off
My chest
