"admirably" poems
Never be ashamed of your native language Say those beautiful Phrases and words Loud and proud. Do not let anyone stop you from speaking Let your voice be Heard and recognized Don't you dare let anybody make fun of your accent Embrace the thickness Don't ever lose grasp of it. For it is one of the precious treasure You could ever hold on to After leaving your homeland To start a new life in a foreign country That offers you a whole lot of new opportunities. Hold on to your mother tongue As tight as you can Because this new country you now live in Will do its very best to change your identity And oppress your culture. So it be French or Spanish Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilonggo Greek, Punjabi, Hindi, Sinhalese Arabic, Vietnamese, Portuguese German or Russian And any other language there is in the world. It has exquisite words that just cannot be simply translated into English For it has far greater meaning behind it It is very much well-written Alluring to one's eye and Spoken eloquently and gracefully That the English language is not able to compare To your admirably and enticing Well-spoken mother tongue.

your mother tongue.
Are you aware, did you know, have you been told you've got killer voice, leaving me no choice but preemptive action... Let's ensure mutual destruction of clothes; my thoughts made those illegal in a secret meeting; that security council in my head... while the heart was busy beating, doing its own thing... Captives in my cells twisted and bled out their escape plans... Excuse me, got sidetracked, what's your name again? I'm twenty-three but only if you switch the digits. For a high-functioning whatever, I must say I'm admirably sane but you pull the wrong lever, and the lyrics spill with the melody breaking the levee. So what do you do for a living? That's adorable. How are we still sitting and talking here? You thought I'd be taller; I was expecting you'd run off screaming. Let's drink to that, the small victories! Time will tell what's next if only we listen, instead of reading more text, unless we're OK with missing out. God, my thoughts do talk loud! When did your face get so near? Lips go "clink", and eyes go "Cheers!"

The Joker's Pickup Lines (or Something)
I ended up in the hospital again I was in a pretty nasty car accident I was in the hospital for a little while quite a few bones of mine suffered a dent they forced me in for about a week I couldn't wait to leave however a nurse was transferred onto my floor, she looked so good, I couldn't believe myself, I wanted to stay in bed heart monitor and all and needles leaving my bed she did get job admirably, bringing Me food doing her rounds every single shift she was on I casually threw a couple of little lines at her, playfully, you know, to give her a smile or two as the day wore on Well on the last day I was in the lovely nurse walked into the room "this isn't your shift?" I said, somewhat surprised that's when I noticed her hand slide up her thighs... She walked to the door and locked us inside I saw a sense of burning lust in her eyes she walked back to my bed and kissed me long and took away the pain my God, she was so wet my leg felt as if it was caught in the rain So I asked "Is this my going away present?" She replied "Yes my patient, for taking your shots you've earned it"

Green glass but it's French which makes it verre vert. The French should like that. They appreciate their jeux de mots. Not a statue of a man but it could be. Not a piece of art at all except I have made it so by saying it is one. Its qualities are visual and tactile at once the material heavy (over a kilo) not so much transparent as translucent the colour from under the sea the surface curved smooth glossy the shape functional admirably suited for its purpose its name embossed on the back (or the front?) giving a clue. L' ÉLECTRO VERRE redundant insulator from an overhead power cable found object (objet trouvé) from the garden of friends in the Alpes-Maritimes. This souvenir potential paperweight ornament sculpture is more than all of these. Souvenir after all is French for memory.

[Fanfare, obviously] This poem should begin with the call of a bugle, as is fitting for an ode of Braveheart Macdougal. Children of Parklands, take heed and be wary, as I relate now, in verse, a tale cautionary. Benigna Murdie was a most virtuous lass, blesséd with promise and a penchant for sass. To peer pressure she was admirably immune, and ne'er did she bow to the temptation of goon. Nary a drop of ***** has e'er passed her lips, save for politeness and church-mandated sips. Yet even the mightiest fall-- what a pity! (harder than I did that night in the city). So I hope you all glean a moral from this, and your interpretation does not go too amiss. But all is self-evident, to quote Descartes, so allow me to recount this tale from the start. She hails from a country renown for their piety, for their pacifist ways and universal sobriety. The Scottish are known throughout the land for their temperance of character and lightness of hand. And our poor Bennigles was no rule-exception, she subscribed quite wholly to this perception. A more reserved and reclusive girl you've not seen, virtually a saint at only nineteen. Passed out on the couch, liquor was never the root, only strain from the studying and academic pursuit. A paradigm of virtue, a pillar of purity, no “that's-what-she-said's” to compromise maturity. But that all changed one day touched by fate, when Rachel realized that hedonism's great. She took to the streets to revel in her glee, and legit nothing bad happened cause this isn't tv. Alas, now I'm drunk and the screen is a-shaking, perhaps of wine I should halt my partaking. I cannot continue with this facetious ode, as we all well know that this is a total load. But I'll miss you, my Brit, and our shitshow nights, our Australian exploits and your culinary delights. Sorry I couldn't finish to detail your demise, but perhaps I'll conclude after an Australia-reprise.

*First light in the Hudson Valley Arbor Day of April, 1970.* Adrenaline coursed through our young bodies, our hearts on fire with purpose. As we rode our bikes, walked, or jogged miles to our rural high school, red-winged blackbirds called out from the misty swamps. Beautiful but invading, acres of purple loosestrife were rapidly taking over their wetland habitats. Harbingers of the forests, blue jays issued warning cries from deep in the woods, where blights were killing our trees with increasing frequency. Three of us rode together, cycling in relative silence, until we came to a meadow selected for our early breakfast picnic. We feasted on special fruits and cheeses, hungrily stuffing in rare treats. One friend began to send iridescent soap bubbles into the chilly air. Up they rose, up over the soft, puffy cloud of her reddish curls, and into the dawning sun. One bubble landed, unbroken, in the cold, dewy grass. We stared at it, somehow understanding that here was a delicate metaphor for our own fragile planet. Approaching our school now, we breathed deeply the fragrance of apple blossoms from commercial orchards all around us. The spraying of pesticides had yet to be banned. We were sleepy in our classes that morning; most of our teachers understanding that we stood now for something worthwhile, that we believed in, and they smiled with kindness, some even with approval. Our principal agreed to an awareness-raising slide show designed for our fellow students, teachers and parents. An intelligent man, he was admirably tolerant of the wave of changes that our generation brought with us. Smoke stacks, polluted water, and dying wildlife flashed onto a screen in the darkened auditorium, accompanied by the vivid symphonic power of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring'- a score so revolutionary that a riot broke out at its premier, in May of 1913. We had no idea then how much worse things would become. All these years later, we each do our part, blessing the efforts of our children and their children, hoping fervently that we are not too late.

The Hawker Hurricane is a British fighter design from the 1930s. Some 14,000 Hurricane and Sea Hurricane fighters and fighter-bombers were built by the end of 1944。 August 1940 brought what has become the Hurricane's shining moment in history: The Battle of Britain. RAF Hurricanes accounted for more enemy aircraft kills than all other defenses combined, including all aircraft and ground defenses. Later in the war, the Hurricane served admirably in North Africa, Burma, Malta, and nearly every other theater in which the RAF participated. The Hurricane underwent many modifications during its life, resulting in many major variants, including the Mk IA, with interchangeable wings housing eight 7.7mm (0.303in) guns;the Mk IIC, with a Merlin ** engine; the Mk IID, a tankbuster with two 40mm anti-tank guns plus two 7.7mm guns. During the war, Hurricanes were sold to Egypt, Finland, India, the Irish, Persia, Turkey and the USSR Air Corps.More in http://www.rangorango.com/124-series-c-1_5.html

I fall in love At the press of a button. It rips through me In a way that would make Robert Smith Outrageously envious. You are some kind of Annabel Lee In the best and Worst way. Life isn’t perfect until I hear You. I drown in the happiest oceans And need no one to Save me. It’s the best. It’s the best when you Blow me a kiss. It’s the best.

Admirably Affectionate
The guy picked a flower in the garden He took it carefully into his nose Inhaled, it deeply and smiled I wish I was the flower The photographer kneeled before the flower bed Take a snap and another after another He looks at the photos admirably Adoring its colors, glorifying its beauty I wish I was the flower A lover bought a dozen of flowers He caresses the bouquet carefully Caring like it was a delicate glass I wish I was the flower Flowers in the vase Day after day after days The flowers turned old and ugly The next thing I knew Flowers were in the bin along with other waste That's when I knew... I am the flower

Won't you shotgun blast me to the face? Though do tell, don't I make you celestial? -It's my specialty, Spectacularly, I see you dancing in the clouds Spectrally resembling and unsettling An unfurling semblance of reality Breathe in me, Goddess of my dreamscape Eclipsing my fate and alleviating waking life Admirably divine, A collision of concupiscent melodies As we perennially intertwine among stars

Foxy space lady,
You. You are 10,000 miles away and yet, I still want to run my hands through your wet, dark brown hair. I want to press myself against your warm body and live in the steam and smell of a hot shower. I want to breathe in your kiss and taste the shampoo that slowly dripped from your wet mop and fell on your lips. Find a cheap motel room and dream there. Dream the things you live and live the things you dream. In that dimly lit, musky, hotel room that I'm dreaming of right now, where we can forget the world. I want to forget Clint Eastwood and September and the snow. I can't remember the color of your eyes because you kiss with eyes closed and it's been an awful while since I've opened them. I wish. I want to watch you drive down California highways-- sunglasses on and my bare feet hanging out the window, my nailpolish sparkling in the California sun. I want to make you laugh, and watch your perfect eyebrows crinkle with your nose when you admirably look at me. I want to take pieces of paper and write my heart on them then put them in a memory box and throw them all out the window. I want to go to the airport and find you standing all alone, looking lost . Then pull over in a car and make the night alive. Listen to the stars laughing and lose myself inside of you. I want the games. Challenging and, well, you know. I want the way you make me feel. Like I'm about to burst out of my skin at any moment because of passion. I want. I want. I want. You. Find a dark place deep into the night and settle down for a couple hours and let our minds shut down for once. No devil truck or eyeless lips or hand guns to decide our fate. and just slip away into each other's bodies, and become submerged in each other's kiss.

sometimes i can't trust myself not to buckle under the weight of your near enough's and almost words you can't quite force out from between my teeth. like the accusatory cutlery your eyes never fail to reflect this would look better with the lights off and between sheets but then again i always have had trouble with the twin tormentors dark and sleeping. sometimes i feel as though red is the only colour i know and you insist on inhabiting it you have ruined sunsets and arsenal and jelly for me. like i was not made to walk through fire just as well as ocean i have merely forgotten the way spoon fed on ashes and bad pennies glinting off the electrics i refuse to give you my spectrum. sometimes my ribcage admirably lives up to its name and i find myself choking on thoughts i'd sworn not to inhale. like non newtonian fluid i have inherited your sudden cusps and contradictions lit up momentarily only to be put out when i am around you   i find myself craving cigarettes.

*yeah, they cut out my third ****** from my shoulder blade and i turned into a bond girl; oh god, you're not one of those bulletproof people confused about love like a nurse confused by a disease? you are? oh god help me... you'll go far! straight to daddy's pocket purse and saturday night... you'll throw stilettos at chandeliers and expect a catwalk blackout... god forbid that should happen with everyone biting their toenails.* between us we share the bathroom and the bedroom, we sit on the stilt framing see-through of it admirably airy and welcoming stars: wishing for foxes and women respectively, all you can hear is a meow... meow... meow... meow meow... moo... µ... meow... meow interchange between these two rooms in the garden air, it’s like a fetish orchestra giving ‘prior to sleep’ crescendos, and it makes sense to write a forgivable poem of this least content, content with the least as me writing it; well d'uh, of course i had to write it, i wasn't going to stage a boxing match with stella artois losing care for words and taking care of action, i was going to mediate the page like a kite being passed on with paddington bear's secret inscriptions to get from london to sydney; i hope it worked. the drunkard? oh... he's either silent, crying, laughing, or simply reading.

sarcastic impromptu with quarus
(This poem posted in tribute to the life &memory; of Robin Williams...Rest in Peace) Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, 'Good-morning,' and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich - yes, richer than a king - And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head. (Edwin Arlington Robinson)

Richard Cory (by E A Robinson)
We endeavor to construct boxes and file folders This life being ****** complex And messy to boot, so we approximate sanity By filling compartments and writing thumbnail biographies, And even though she packed the costume admirably (Already forty, mind you, but nowhere near gone to fat) Julie Newmar had already filled both outfit and niche (And never mind Halle Berry’s turn, Different raiment for a different time, after all, And one suspects the next iteration of said slinky supervillainess Will wear nothing more than feline-shaped ****** rings), Not to mention she’d already entered our collective consciousness With a frothy Noel novelty (unsubstantial, inconsequential In and of its ownself, perhaps, but then one considers The version foisted off on the populace by that woman Who appropriated the moniker of the Blessed ****** All phoned-in faux Betty Boop, and one reconsiders) So this was who she was, the book closed and sealed (English only, never mind the other three tongues she spoke Plus three more she proficiently purred in.) They say when she died, she did not go gently, as it were, But screamed and yowled for all she was still worth, And maybe it was the cancer, certainly enough to do the job itself, But perhaps it was the notion That her era of innuendo and intimation was all done, That she was transitioning to the static, to becoming a legacy, A permanence that was stalking her, Murderous, insatiable, inexorable.

Girl, Those Beautiful Eyes
Throughout the previous years filled with self doubt, lack of self care and confidence, mind that occupied nothing but negativity towards everything in my life and the amount of pain and tears that could sink the whole world. Though I have went through heartache and pieces of me was shattered as an individual I have progressed quite admirably in the year 2016 and thus far is one of my best success yet. I have grown more levelheaded to see a different perspective, as well I have been more careful and thorough with my decision making skills. I am sharing these thoughts because I can finally say I have endured the pain and learned to let go of things I simply have no control over. It took me years to fill my head with a positive mentality, I admit there are still times I feel the wave of sadness coming over me but I have managed to control any thoughts of hopelessness. In my best regards to myself and to anyone who is going through the same path as me or to the person reading this right now: I truly hope that you will continue to grow to achieve the best that you can be, that this new year (more years to come) brings you genuine love, happiness and a proper physical and mental health. Also I am hoping that you are surrounded by optimistic individuals who will benefit into helping you get to your goals, if you aren't in that position just yet I send you strength to cut off anyone of anything that holds you back from becoming the best version of you. As a poet I don't want to sugarcoat you with any metaphors or similes because your worth as a person cannot be compared, to wishing you'll stop comparing yourself to others cause there can't be a better you other than you. So here's to a promising future, new discoveries, more self-improvement, remembering to take better care for yourself and years to come that awaits a lot of adventure and laughter.

I almost had my first kiss once. Almost. It was on a cold December night and thick pure snowflakes were falling. Falling to be caught on my golden hair, or in his, slightly darker. I stepped back into the shelter of my front porch but not into my warm house, oh no. I was a prisoner. Locked out and befriended by the cold winter. But it was fine, because I was with him, but not perfect because we were both alone. He, shooting hoops and me, waiting patiently and admirably. So admirably. In my eyes, everything he did was wonderful and exciting. Worry filled me n the fact that something was off and something was on his mind. Was it me? couldn't be. Maybe. The frozen basketball rolled smoothly, almost practiced, off his hand. and in his stiff voice he mouthed the need to come inside. I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed and waited only 30 seconds... 45 seconds...a minute longer. But, like most people, I fear the airiness of awkwardness and the moments that you stand before a person and draw a blank and have not a word to say. I feared it and I turned my back. It could have been perfect. It would have been perfect. had I just opened my eyes and seen, because I didn't see. Looking back now, I see. My first kiss was close. So close. So painfully close it taunts me. It taunts me when I'm siting alone, pondering. When I'm alone with him and we talk about things. When my friend bring up their magical first kisses. When I remember the fact that I still love him, after all these years. When his hand lightly touches mine or accidentally brushes my back and I realize, it could've been so much more. But mostly, it taunts me on cold winter nights when the heavy white snow is lightly falling, catching in my golden hair or landing on his, slightly darker.

I almost had my first kiss once. Almost. It was on a cold December night and thick pure snowflakes were falling. Falling to be caught on my golden hair, or in his, slightly darker. I stepped back into the shelter of my front porch but not into my warm house, oh no. I was a prisoner. Locked out and befriended by the cold winter. But it was fine, because I was with him, but not perfect because we were both alone. He, shooting hoops and me, waiting patiently and admirably. So admirably. In my eyes, everything he did was wonderful and exciting. Worry filled me n the fact that something was off and something was on his mind. Was it me? couldn't be. Maybe. The frozen basketball rolled smoothly, almost practiced, off his hand. and in his stiff voice he mouthed the need to come inside. I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed and waited only 30 seconds... 45 seconds...a minute longer. But, like most people, I fear the airiness of awkwardness and the moments that you stand before a person and draw a blank and have not a word to say. I feared it and I turned my back. It could have been perfect. It would have been perfect. had I just opened my eyes and seen, because I didn't see. Looking back now, I see. My first kiss was close. So close. So painfully close it taunts me. It taunts me when I'm siting alone, pondering. When I'm alone with him and we talk about things. When my friend bring up their magical first kisses. When I remember the fact that I still love him, after all these years. When his hand lightly touches mine or accidentally brushes my back and I realize, it could've been so much more. But mostly, it taunts me on cold winter nights when the heavy white snow is lightly falling, catching in my golden hair or landing on his, slightly darker.

She told me you worked at space camp now. That must be fun, right? I can see you sprinting through In a bright blue flight suit A kid attached to every ligament You breathless, with an enormous grin. You'd mention being overweight And I would hit you playfully across the arm Deny it like Peter denied Christ Three times. She told me you met a new girl. Showed me a picture too. She has dainty red curls. I guess you meant it; You do have a thing for red heads. They say you met her at the Lego station In Books A Million. I can envision you stumbling upon her Smashing a Death Star into an Ebon Hawk And you would admirably gawk At this childlike beauty. Next thing you know You would be prancing away With a little piece of paper in your pocket And a confident smirk on your face. ~ A sixteen year old girl can only conceive Ideological fantasies But a nineteen year old boy kept them company Beneath the pillow of her dreams. Though the first to stir from Make-Believe Is cursed as the first one to leave. Even as a child I stared desperately at the darkened ceiling Their snores and sighs my only lullabies. And I would witness the misty dew Clear the horizon at the gale's morning song. I covered my tracks as I left Yet I swear I heard your heart wrench In your stupor. ~ The cursor blinks incessantly On the blank page of a perfectionist The only words satisfying Are born not from my lips But of an Irish mother- Or perhaps a lover- Long ago: *May the road rise up to lead you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, And the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God keep you in the palm of His hand.*

The Song Of Lovers
Suddenly my friends vanish We entered a cave as one Finding rest,I must Slumbering Gone adrift in humanity admirably Shifting to reflection Deepen inside a mindless cave Humankind is misplaced Unsolvable solutions boggling Needing my friends What pace I do next? Settling in dreams and reality A picture of antiquity Falling to a new opening Which cannot be reach Please somebody, please somebody! Are you there? Before I become extinct

Where are my friends?
Look at this fool. This babbling fool that stands over me. A garden full of burning flowers visible through his eyes, but not through ear to ear. The things that run from his mouth- which I do not blame them from doing- **** my brain cells. He thinks I care. All I want the former fool. He who taught me all I know. The walking book cover, dictionary, Britannica. The ultimate thesaurus, movie star. Bob the Rabbit. It's in its cage. Say hi to Bob. I admire you. The temperature. The west and east egg. All I desire is again to sit and look up and admirably watch words spill out of his mouth. Not these dead song birds flying out of his. Not this spineless man walking on his tongue. Not, Not, Not him. In the distance, a foghorn yells, "No one cares!" but he is Hellen Keller's doppelganger. I am slowly going brain dead...... black.
