"awesomely" poems
XXVII. TO ARTEMIS (22 lines) (ll. 1-20) I sing of Artemis, whose shafts are of gold, who cheers on the hounds, the pure maiden, shooter of stags, who delights in archery, own sister to Apollo with the golden sword. Over the shadowy hills and windy peaks she draws her golden bow, rejoicing in the chase, and sends out grievous shafts. The tops of the high mountains tremble and the tangled wood echoes awesomely with the outcry of beasts: earthquakes and the sea also where fishes shoal. But the goddess with a bold heart turns every way destroying the race of wild beasts: and when she is satisfied and has cheered her heart, this huntress who delights in arrows slackens her supple bow and goes to the great house of her dear brother Phoebus Apollo, to the rich land of Delphi, there to order the lovely dance of the Muses and Graces. There she hangs up her curved bow and her arrows, and heads and leads the dances, gracefully arrayed, while all they utter their heavenly voice, singing how neat-ankled Leto bare children supreme among the immortals both in thought and in deed. (ll. 21-22) Hail to you, children of Zeus and rich-haired Leto! And now I will remember you and another song also.

The Homeric Hymns: 27- To Artemis
*Sung to the melody of "Be Thou My Vision"* O King of heaven How Glorious Thou Art Lord of my spirit O Lord of my heart You're ever gracious You're my victory I was in darkness But in You I see Father O Father Your creation I love You painted the sunsets Made heaven above I will sing praise to you All the day long I am your nightingale You are my song O gentle Savior You're awesomely wise Show me your people You are my heart's eyes Give me compassion Your mercy to all Give me Your voice To lost souls I call O Holy Spirit Come rain on me now Fill me with blessings Your river to flow Give me the wisdom To honor what's right Let me be salt O let me be light I am but ashes My works are but rust You've made me precious Tho I am but dust You are my Father My Lover, my Friend You are my righteousness World without end SoulSurvivor (C) 9/16/2016

How Glorious Thou Art
Then the arch painter, up in the blue yonder, stirs the sea of colours, and posing in style, infuses the magic with tangerine daylight. Then I don't know if you were walking by a brook or a river, you would tune in, perhaps like the sweet singer, Hebrew King David, the water nymph hums a melody. Then the narrative resonates, it never just goes away like the wind. Birds chirp and sing in the groves and on every street. Then I was watching the BBC on a black and white screen, the beloved monarch had passed away, and Britain was mourning. Then she appeared once in a stolen exhibition by my poetry in motion and jolly happy she was admiring now she's gone I just dreamed. Then amidst the melancholy, I heard twittering birds chirping, missing the mellifluous melodies, so awesomely sweet, alas, Queen Elizabeth wasn't there to speak her English!

Queen Elizabeth's English Speaking
I set my cruise on the highway and am passed by a red AMC Eagle. This red rusty AMC Eagle has a wind shied covered in frost because, I'm guessing, the defrost motor burned up in a bakelite mushroom cloud from the dashboard. It is held together with duct tape and grit. The pilot sits behind his cardboard console ludicrously warm in winter parka, scarf, hat and gloves. I pass him waving dressed in my tshirt and shorts. Driving in my new, awesomely economical car. Four dashboard vents dump lava warm air to keep me pleasingly toasty. The pilot will never understand that I wave not at his expense, but in envy. The billboard on my right says it all, If I have to explain you wouldn't understand.

There's a beautiful gun in my hand. Flawless.                      The nightshift sun gleams off the barrel like a swan on a lake      At home against the humid sweaty dark pressing against everything yet awesomely singular      The clock stopped a long time ago and gunshots took over in place of the ticks and tocks…      (I'm chewing on something soft)                         … and I never noticed. It seemed natural. Every bullet chambered was just another hour passing        And though it feels like forever I know its been half a day                Blood laces the treads of my shoes      Hugging the rubber and drawing patterns that I'm less aware of than I am of...      (What is this? It's good.) ... myself          Everyone I know is sitting in a pile.         No more alive than the gun itself. Still they talk. Memories are shared and advice is given. I don't care to know if its real.         *Everyone talks. It makes sense.    Even the dead*.               The ceiling fan noisily labors diligently if not futilely against the unspeakable heat. It's the only sound I can be sure of. The motion helps.      Nothing else is moving except...      (Chewchewchewithinkicanithinkican)              ...My jaw. Steadily gnashing through…      (Everyone talks)             My tongue. I don't care about the blood at my feet or the fact that its coming from my mouth.       What worries me is that now everyone is staring at me and I dont have any gun at all

I see you stirring out in the far southwest Just now I feel your wind licking my face I see something so awesomely beautiful . I want you to come home to my place I see your naked thighs shaking your hips of desire I am amazed as you snake through my ruins Throwing kisses of debris Stripping off the bark of my trunk I long for your twisted breath in my hair as you pound my foundation to the ground You splinter my resistance My bricks fall into your embrace Your black hair goes flared Be my tornadic love affair Stay with me until your thunder bares All lightnings charge making me glow everywhere Twirl me , separate me , take your toll I lie under your spell

Awesome Young I stumble, catch myself, But my breath is still short. Skip around, go back and discover, uncover. Incredible. Awesome in a way that overused word was intended to be used. There are so many miracles, young poets, whose works lost in the shuffle of the ordinary, who don't get read, liked or loved like they awesomely deserve. One day, someday, I will write a poem, naming names, before a Congressional Committee, getting them on the record. Done it before,^ will do it again, got take a week off from work to get 'em all. Odd, even then, will strike out, can't capture them all, they keep a-coming, from all over the world, places I never heard of. It almost makes me believe world peace is not just a Saturday Night Live joke.

I was told about this special book. I was told it was a magical book! Amazingly full of bright, light and insight. Allegedly one look and you were hooked and took! This great book of life baited, charted and crafted with will, quill feathers, leather and of weather. The great book of life highly and showily regarded the ******** the rife and strife. Brilliant parts of art from heart! Boldly guarded by angel’s darts! Holding from different angles. Behold! The pages of this book mangled, spangled and tangled. Through the ages… the corners scorned, torn and worn. In theory the inseams very weary and old. Amazingly and appraisingly with thrill they still fold! Merrily told and eagerly sold. The great book of life’s pages is of age, cages and wages, stages and rages! The great book of life each a way to encourage or engage courage. The great book of life was inspired and transpired by a baby in a manger. Some pages spell and tell of a stranger danger! The great book of life is about the beloved also of the unloved. Chapters in capture, scriptures in measure, rapture- or torture. The great book of life listen to my envision with precision! The great book of life envisions death’s breath. Missions, those enclosed in prisons and visions! The many, many scenes serene and obscene. The in-betweens, the kings and queens! Dragons, drones and many, many thrones! The antic, frantic and gigantic! Magic, satanic and tragic! blizzards or wizards! Ancient, distant chants and rants! The great book of life, a chance from a glance. Traces of many faces, places and races! The great book of life claimed to have named those bordered, cornered, loitered and murdered. The great book of life is it! Amazingly it tells bits of it all! Basically about the small that brawl. The tall, including some that awesomely, eventually fall! The great book of life collects and reflects the surreal or unnatural. The frail and the pale. Actions hailed while eluding a whale! This great book of life will it prevail? Yes prevail! Amen! The great book of life amen, amen.

Cars on the Highway
I am "Josephine Wild." I am 35 years old. I am an artist and an ultra runner. I experience the world differently. I wake up. I work and workout. I play. I eat. Then I sleep. I see things like design and shapes. I focus on the details. But I try to see the bigger picture. I look at typefaces and fonts. I get hyper-focused. I like to work. To make. To create. Day after day This is what I do. I am never finished. I date things Because I lose track of time. Time is against me. So, I learn not to waste it. Sometimes, I make believe. But I am not a child. I am grace. I am strength. I am beauty. I am determined. I have a good heart. I live in my own home With my husband. We share the same bed. I have toys and figurines. I collect them. I arrange them. They always stay the same. They bring me joy. I am easily distracted. I like to escape. I can run away with my thoughts. I’ve learned to domesticate my emotions. I am an artist. I am wonderfully weird. I like people too. They are beautiful each in their own way. It’s nice to connect with people, To feel loved. Now, I know that I am so, so loved. It’s hard to let people go, especially when you love them. I know that I’m not alone. I am apart of this world. I just experience it differently. But sometimes, I don’t feel free. My life isn’t easy, but it’s a gift. Life wouldn’t be great if it was easy. I’m easy to get along with, and now I understand. I love music. I love to sing. The music I like doesn’t need words. I’m sometimes without words. I search for them. I need them quicker than they come. But that’s OK. I try my best to better myself. I am not wrong, I am different. When I fall, I reset. I try not to cling onto people, but it’s hard. I’ve learned to forgive myself. I’ve learned to love myself. I make more of an effort to think things through. I have succeeded at leaving my comfort zones. My effort is success. I am not a problem. Life is opinion. The universe is change. And I’m always changing, always growing, always living. I have grown a good heart. I am awesomely autistic.

Let me tell you of the day that never came. The one we thought we’d see So soon after the night. Night of fire, day of searing light That burned all the sinners All of us, And dragged us all to hell. Hell. Always hot and dry We can’t wait until it freezes over Freezes all of them. All of us. No more stench of charred flesh No more black and crumbling bodies With dry water eyes. But the day never came When we’d beg for water- Ice. Something other than The lava forced down our throats on a daily basis. We are tired of this! No more, never ever, ever never forever will we Finish burning In Hell. But we never did now did we? The day never came, and We Are forever living. Maybe more a torture than fire and brimstone. But the day won’t come when it will all end Or has it come already and this is our eternal punishment For being sinners, Sacrilegious in the way we moved. And in hell we trudge up hills of spike rock Carrying boulders the size of pandas with the attitudes of great whites And all the stripes and teeth of rabid tigers, Jagged claws of koalas and the ability to scent fear like no other animal can And they are always afraid All of us That maybe one day the day will come and we will burn.

The Universe started, or possibly not, (It may oscillate from now to forever.) Everything perfectly fine tuned for Life, the Almighty is awesomely clever. Eleven dimensions! Billions of stars! Multiverse now without end! Scientists strive to explain everything, much to theologians’ chagrin. They teach about Adam, not atoms as such, A story of serpent and sin The “Big Bang” by contrast, doesn’t invoke a serpentine tinged origin. There are still known unknowns And unknown unknowns In explaining how Life did begin. Preachers will cling to the gaps in the String- call it their “Prophet margin.”

What can we do in the end? When our existence has become completely soulless… And the world as we know it doesn’t deserve our perception of it… Where’s the colour?! What can we do? Something, anything? Something real? Love repeated… Remember that thing… how it gleamed… And now, there’s nearly nothing… Nearly nothing because of what we’re doing… And what we’re letting them do… And there’s no god to save us, Just our words and power… Power that should be as simple as a flower that welcomes the smeller… But instead we’re being devoured by a scent so sick and seductive it makes us shiver before being swaddled in its shadow… An oxygen and spirit-sucking force that won’t stop slowly eating us until we give up the joke inside of us - the fake rose, the front; all our artificial flavour and fervour - the real desire is deep within and we’ve all felt and feel it like a vast river that connects all our fears and wonders, making us better, stronger, longer, brighter, grander, wholer - together - an awesomely dazzling luminous light that should never be underestimated by some jester…

Jester Flower
Love notes disguised As poems she wrote, Are hidden under the pillow Where she rests her head On the bed that holds the only world Where true love can blossom; Because in this one She gave her flowers away, But they were tossed in A locked bin and forgotten, Now broken hearted and feeling discarded she runs harder then when the race started Has a destination in mind but no end in sight Just the moon and the light from the stars in the night She pours out her heart, I see the scars from the fights And as I lay my mind, body and soul On top of hers in an attempt To use these words to heal anything that hurts ...We burst... Into a realm where every reflection Is the exact perfection you were never expecting To discover in each other Couldn't find it in yourself let alone another Now the ground, once covered in moss and things Is awesomely blossoming With the most beautiful flowers, Not often seen by the eyes of the waking world, I turn to this girl And speaking soft as all time stopped She said to me *"You've never been here before. But I have spent more time here than there, for various reasons I'd rather not share. My mind, body and soul bid you welcome to the only place I can help them. This is my heart. The very essence of my core, what you see is all I have, and nothing more. So please tread light, my heavily and shiny armored knight."* While I remove my armor, I can't help but wonder Would I get trapped in this bliss If we happened to kiss The softest green blades between my toes I've never felt grass like this So I walk slowly toward her I know; I may not get another pass at this.

Beyond the Waking World

A Fool In Love In Paris, In April For crying out loud I am awesomely proud To be a Fool in love With Mother Nature. I thank the Almighty above For everything he has done Hoping that I have a secured future Earth is now my haven, my Heaven. I am a Fool who loves my wife The beautiful trees and flowers The hummingbirds on the top towers And the daunting intricacies of life. Today is the first day of April I am thrilled like a new drill I am excited to be the only Fool Swimming naked in the icy pool. For God's sake, I am a Fool in love The eagles are hovering above The green mountains, this is awesome That's wonderful, that's very handsome. This is spring, a new season with a lot of potential Sure, I am lackadaisically controversial That's why I love the mad and irate women And the jerks who refused to say Amen.

Chainsaw
You're too sleepy to even notice how i adore your angelic features. You're awesomely smart that's why i can't deny i love the way you think. Your eyes are not expressive as his eyes are but your eyes is my escape from the reality that is so harsh. You are my comfort zone that i didn't expect to have you are an unknown blessing that God gave me while i'm losing my way to the right path.

You epitomize rhyming poetry, because these rhymes do not bind you, or rather you have not let yourself be bound by these rhymes, as so many others have. Your rhythm and rhyming do not hold back your poetry: on the contrary, these rhymes allow your poetry to be stronger. You may not know it, but this is a spectacular quality. Write, and never be afraid of writing. I read all of your poetry from the beginning because from the very first poem I deemed that it was worth my time. We are a family, by heart, and not by blood; there is no foe. and I am never blind to not see the world's perfect wonders. You describe yourself as an optimist, and rightfully so. This line is beautiful. The whole poem is awesomely crafted, and once again, the rhymes don't obstruct the poem's meaning and significance, and only enhance it. *The canvas of black paint and glitters of gold. A story that was left untold. To golden new, from rustic old. Too clear, yet too bold.* Your use of rhythm in this poem is very impressive. It's unconventional, and it works. The imagery of the black paint is beautiful. I love how the rhythm drops at the end; it's literally bold. *I have watched the stars, for they are like your eyes. I saw it. I made a wish to an entity from afar. Never was I wrong to see things that are lies. A light was beaming. It was a broken star.* The line Never was I wrong to see things that are lies really stayed with me. It's a powerful sentence and sticks right into the poem's theme. The way I interpret it is as "It's okay to delude yourself, as long as you're happy," which links back to the popular phrase "oblivion is bliss." Also, A light was beaming. It was a broken star is entwined with the previous line in the idea that we really can chose to see only what we wish to see. Who is this broken star? I'm really curious. Anyway, thank-you for publishing your work. It's poets like you that makes HelloPoetry a real blast. Keep submitting your work!

Dubious: charge The deluxe program in. Obtuse angled and oblong animals. Mecca sexúal, discoverer pulling back the curtain tails in mimicry and peacockiness as the horizon shimmers itself out. Do not eschew unwieldy ostentation towards benign mid-weight colors in the sequel to Blahnik. Offers in the hesitant, peak winds of Southern-Hemispherical Antarctic weather barometer losses. The ice is like a hive of nameless blue lily pad vessels, each a different magical shade of the water's blue. She like the uncommon baroque grandeur in an hour of time, herself- Summons the immense symmetry of her elaborate lavender macramès sheath and entomb her skin, exploding across her body like milk-white daffodils draped upon a morning bow. Linseed and anise encompasses burnt sweet grass on the breadth of pine in a gentle pillow, anchored only by the veins of her red fruit nectar stitched at the grooves in her cool and unpunctuated lips. While anxiety numbing tufts of gentle satins wisp all the worry and turmoil away, pleasing every nerve, sensor, instinct, and exercise of glib humanity intertwined amid the pulse of our uncensored adultness. She glides amid the arcs of ebullient-molecules ribboned in winter synonyms, summoned up in her sensual and illustrious sublime, and the story of how like a horizon muted by organzas falling beneath her into that relationship she carries with her water God into something profound, immense, and totally ******* exquisite, yet beyond all imagining, she is always doing what has been the coolest **** ever to me. That becomes more magnificently indescribable like our amorous fire, incentivizing the luminous beauty of new stars to rush above us, and yet under us too, amidst the simple and perfected automany she so awesomely imbues. Until the minutes are silenced in our heads and the days are warm with you. For Sarah
