"hybrid" poems
My favorite # 1 Life experiences enhancer stress and pain reliever the magical psychotropic attributes it has makes me go loco. Cannabis Sativa/Indica or Hybrid I love it all...the only bud I won't smoke is "Reggies" that seedy nasty **** It gives me a headache. All other qualities strains and methods of ingesting or using marijuana welcome. The *** oil is so strong yet so dreamy and good. All around is excellent medicine and I will always remain to use it even after I quit my other habits. Makes people rejoice and come together happily with each other and commune and be kind to each other respectful to each other. That is what u love about cannabis.

~~~Marijuana~~~
I am the rose that grew from concrete Budded from stones, rocks, mortar, cement, broken glass, drug vials and bags. I am a product of my environment. What you thought would **** me, Only served to make me stronger. Evolved into a hybrid I'm the only of my kind. My thorns fortified with brass knuckles, My color faded from weather beatings, And all other beatings, The travesty of my existence is not lost on me. Beauty in the midst of pain, And what is the epitome of ugly. I don't belong here and never did. Wisdom I have absorbed From rains never to come again Rejuvenates my leaves. Although I cannot absorb it all, Through the cracks in the concrete. I relish what I can And vow to absorb more the next time, Should I be so fortunate. Because the concrete can protect As well as expose my naivete. So compelling to manipulate, It would be ideal to control. Impossible though. How can you control What grows and survives in the midst of chaos? And at what cost to your soul? Even through the ominous clouds, I remain in light. The Sun has never been immune to my plight. Providing the strength, energy and hope I'll need for the next season of my fight.

REFLECTION
Darling, there are few facts that you must know as a student of science, And there are many more that you must know as a cute human being. There are three bearing mango trees & one guava tree outside our home, The guava tree is infested with the parasitic growth of a sacred fig tree. After many years' from today the "Bargad" tree will grow out, Ousting the guava tree it will finally be free but it won't forget guava tree. It will always feel having been parented by the guava tree, and so it might actually become a hybrid of both the trees and so a love child hybrid tree would ultimately give shade and fruits to people in the future generation. So should the ideal love of a human being be inspired towards everyone including the ones who they love and fellow human beings - selfless and pure.

Some Stuff About Biology & Love
There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life. more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth, From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree,and it does not rest until it has found one. Then singing, among the savage branches, it pales itself upon the sharpest spine. And dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the larkand the nightingale. One superlative song,existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. for the best is only bought at the cost of great pain....Or so says the legend.This resonates deeply within me because being an RHO negativeMother every Gyno MD advised termination of my unborn a malicious prejudice even called me hybrid race! the medical database is WRONG   I SAVED three of my children they were born they live the loves of my life

Lark to Nightingale
A few hours after midnight; the world is fast asleep. Alone and cold do I wander. Like a nightmare do I creep. With the intent of nothing I sit and watch the street. It’s a week after Halloween and my shoes are on my feet. I near my house, I think I’ll shave, (My chin has an itch.) But at my feet upon the ground a color doesn’t fit; Black on black with a spot of white doesn’t sit quite right. You’d think they’d be more careful, ornery little gits. Yet here at my feet, some candy lies plainly in my sight. I stop to stare and wonder, and my brain does a nervous twitch.   So here I am; with a piece of candy that might have mange Meanwhile my mind is discovering a whole new range For all the pain we go through, to keep the world nice,  Nothing anyone does ever seems to pay the price. I’ve got a new hybrid car, gets 50 to the gallon plus it’s electric. And when I finish a snack trash is out the window. Are we epileptic? I mean you’ve got to be kidding me, who can say that they are not A miserable little hypocrite? World is full of betrayal and lies. Filling with anger, righteous and hot, I feel a change in my soul. I’ll be better! I’ll change the world or the two of us will sever ties! The earth will follow my example and we’ll hold to higher goal. Give me a few years and then lets see what we’ve got!   I hold onto the fantasy for a while, sad to let it slip. But the truth does sink in and reality has a tighter grip. Even if I spoke who would listen? One cry in a thousand’s not so great. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try, to resign ourselves to our fate. I’ve never been a pessimist, just a realistic optimist you understand. If you want change, aim for what you can hold in your hand. Think you can bring about world peace, think you’ve got the might? Try to keep peace in your town, or your block, or home without a fight. I stand and think to myself one more Sucker here and there, Isn’t going to change a thing. If ten men vowed never to let themselves repeat Their mistakes, the next day a chance would come, one would stand, Nine would shudder and forsake him. Alone he’d return to his seat. I step away and head home. I return my thoughts to the matters at hand. Like my homework; a poem and some calc. I’ve still got to lose some ****** hair

The great dictatorship of the futon A hybrid beast not truly made for two Cover play turned treatised malice The brilliance of cold imposed on waking To find no roses just pillows between Lying nestled in inert ecstasy Singing rusty hist'ries, its a sales job For the masses Know that it will return No wit like the brain before sleep sets in No sight like a deaf dreamers providence No solution like the one no one wants To drift away and return on waking The day seems touched to find us divided A restful sleep met with a restless heart

The Great Dictatorship of the Futon
Sprang forth with no branches or leaves. Small roots. Bore mangoes, papayas,guava and bananas. Hybrid, mid limb grafting. The trunk is a figment but it stands non less. You see my family tree never was and always will be. A roadside shade with low hanging fruit. Was never planted.It was a deposit from the bowels of an exotic bird of the jungles that sampled at leisure the offerings of the rain forests. The Hardtack and marmalade came on ships with the kings business Mixed with the Nigerian Fu-Fu ,the Aztec maize the Mayan legumes. and all points of the compass. Old Joe Denegri, The Blancaneaux , The Cattouse, The Melado, The Pinks The Flowers,The Orozco and more. And boundless from the ***** of opportunity. Piecemeal and untethered. But it is the tree that I must cling to. However rough the bark. The sap runs heavy and slow in the humid Belizean heat.To meet the earth. Cool breezes blow a haunting disharmony. A sweet unity in chaos. The soil is rich,pungent and forgiving. Soon, A bell tolls in the distance. The Sea mists my dreams. A stairway of coconut fronds to azure skies. Nighttime smells like creation. The still slackened pace. The small rat race. Tempest in a teapot. Urban-rural. Coolie gal. Creole boy. New Chinese. Old African. Ubiquitous Espania. Garinagu. Mosquito coast. Children of Mennon. Old Basque faces. Things we call races left with small traces of what? My tree, her tree, histree. I am you and you are me. I see me in your face and you see me. We are and will continue to be. Blended. a hybrid. An orchid wild.

The Mockery of Fairyland In silence watching, as fellow, fallow fairies dance, Sylphs float above while gnomes furrow, Donating water brothers. Undine. Spiritual creatures, unseen. Creation of nature from nature. Mankind evading. Those fairies will still catch your eye, In form of genus butterfly. God forbid you meet them. Stumble on their fairy rings. You should never ever tell a fairy your name. For in fairyland you may remain. For safety's sake. While you're out walking in the woods. Inside out, you must wear your shirt, Wear a ring of of iron! So you can breach the fairies curse. For in seven year cycles. Fairies must donate to hell. A good soul,Tam Hin. Because he tricked the fairy queen. She had to set him free. Ti's said. As man folk mate. Fairies do true procreate. In a way akin to ours! Hybrid fairies once existed. They were such melancholy souls. Far too sad to live in fairyland. Too fairy like to live on earth! Titania she still sits waiting patiently. For her Oberon to arrive. King and queen of fairyland, in literacy. Supreme? No Fallacy! By ladylivvi1

I remember the night my mother was stung by a scorpion. Ten hours of steady rain had driven him to crawl beneath a sack of rice. Parting with his poison - flash of diabolic tail in the dark room - he risked the rain again. The peasants came like swarms of flies and buzzed the name of God a hundred times to paralyse the Evil One. With candles and with lanterns throwing giant scorpion shadows on the mud-baked walls they searched for him: he was not found. They clicked their tongues. With every movement that the scorpion made his poison moved in Mother's blood, they said. May he sit still, they said May the sins of your previous birth be burned away tonight, they said. May your suffering decrease the misfortunes of your next birth, they said. May the sum of all evil balanced in this unreal world against the sum of good become diminished by your pain. May the poison purify your flesh of desire, and your spirit of ambition, they said, and they sat around on the floor with my mother in the centre, the peace of understanding on each face. More candles, more lanterns, more neighbours, more insects, and the endless rain. My mother twisted through and through, groaning on a mat. My father, sceptic, rationalist, trying every curse and blessing, powder, mixture, herb and hybrid. He even poured a little paraffin upon the bitten toe and put a match to it. I watched the flame feeding on my mother. I watched the holy man perform his rites to tame the poison with an incantation. After twenty hours it lost its sting. My mother only said Thank God the scorpion picked on me And spared my children.

Here are my eyes my fried eggs teal lily-pads floating on white albumen. Here are my elbows like deformed peaches my knuckles the peas wrist corn on the cob. Here are my teeth my frosty Stonehenge a ring of slabs solid halibut. Here are my ankles four gobstoppers cracking as rocks under her size-five feet. Here is my nose fastened to my face the garbage chute meets hoover hybrid. Here are my knees two wrinkled potatoes mashing in their sockets as waves crumble on me. Here is my hair my straw candyfloss unlike her buttered popcorn curly-wurly waterfall. Here are my tonsils squashy strawberries wedged at the back of the cave I once made. Here are my lips azalea-pink sweets flecked with salt from our slice of sea.

Anatomy
Forever and longer, from a time long before this one, we are souls drawn together in a rare and deep love. Not always seeing eye to eye, always, eventually, seeing into the heart of each other, into the place where being is all there is. Our bonds of blood, and an ancient, hybrid   ancestry braid continuity. Breathing into the starry interstices of this infinite correlation, living within this web of connectivity, we are never fully apart. You are my brothers, and forever will not be long enough to love you.

For My Brothers
I am the shy man you see at 6 AM in Starbucks umbrella cocked under my left arm like a guidon, formless and murky as the latte in my cup, neufchatel slathered on the bageled cusp of a new day, one bus token removed from yesterday's office, aspiring toward tomorrow's and the next day's sunrise, convinced of nothing printed in splashy headlines of USA Today. I am the strong man who smiles at the concept of growing ******* watching women surrender their eggs, take on new testicles. I would eagerly belly your child, assume your burden, let you envelope me with velvet *** dream submissive destiny in the absence of Bodhisattva's caress, if delicious debauchery empowers you. I am a Boy Toy on the half-shell, a nascent embryo filled with dread of wombs which recently had bound me. You offer deliverance. I am seed in your fertile loam-brown soil. I germinate sinking roots in your mind, fully conscious I will flower, a stubborn hybrid planted for your pleasure. I am a pilgrim without a rock, the twilight sky beneath your periwinkled heavens.

That You May Truly Know Me
On The counters of poetry I dock and lock myself Then I scope on the bottles of liquors seductively And spellblind by their syllables I took the shakers and hybrid The Similes The Onomatopeia's The Nemesis' The Near-Rhymes And The Triadic-Lines Then I gulp fourteen shots of Sonnets From my paper-glass And glug a paradox Or a foil-sigh Trice, The knots Bundling my eloquence Will exonerated itself And torpidity will cuff my consciousness And the droplets remains in my paper- glass Will impel me To quest for myriad of them I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! I Will slur With half an eye open As if the other is broken Stock on a comedy chair Then When the Limbs of time tread Will I rush to the counter Like the athletes at Olympia And hybrid The Blank-verses The Alliterations The Limericks The Litotes The Aporia's And The Dysphemism's And Gulp countless Yet measured shoots Of Ballad,with my paper-glass And unravel the oratories Of sacred secrets,eclectic enchantment and regrettable reflexes Aside,or injects the world With my rugged pins of eruditions Bestowed in me by the liquors of poetry I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! I Will slur With half an eye open As if the other is broken Stocked on a comedy-chair Again I will rush To the counter,and hybrid The Exaggerations The Personifications The Imageries And The Caesura's And Gulp uncounted shoots Of Epic's from my paper-glass And Eulogise my steam and wit Yet,I'm drunk And deeply drunk wholly By a might that mortify me so much That I've become a slave In the awe of my servitude Now and then Will I weep and wail terribly Each morning,each noon,and each night For the great demise of myself And for an emancipation From the perpetual counter-cells poetry I'm drunk,and deeply drunk by poetry.

Oftentimes I find myself having these random bubble bursts of thoughts-I want to learn Sanskrit…..what? Where does that even come from? Or Hey! Learning to sew would be neat. Or you know, I could really benefit from reading the newspaper. And the thing that I struggle to understand is that when I have thoughts like this, is this an attempt to discover more of me or is this me trying to force an idea onto myself that isn’t actually me, but what I think I would like to be... Think about it. If you came out of the womb and you had a catalogue and could then choose carefully categorized qualities in yourself, what would you choose? Sometimes it feels like then it would be easier then having to try and discover it for yourself. And I could go on about how no, it’s great that we have to go through this struggle to find it and I’ve learned all these things from my journey, but unfortunately, that is not this poem. No one actually knows who they are completely ever. That’s a neverending journey according to...well everyone. But why do we fight so hard to find it? If someone paid me to try one new thing each day, I would take them up on that opportunity but if you think at the end of it all, I’d tell you what I learned about myself, then you can have your money back because I’m not interested. Not every experience is a learning experience and not every adventure has to mean something. I like rock climbing. I like blueberries and strawberries and raspberries. I take long car rides just because I can, thank you Hybrid vehicles. But I am not a rock climber or a farm girl or a lover of cars. I know that I am a person who is going day to day doing things that I like to do. So I may pick up my ukulele this day and I may never pick it up again for another year, but I certainly won’t be selling it because of that. I own more books than I can account for and haven’t read more than 30% of them, but I hate having to take books to the used book store and I love buying more. And so what does that make me? I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter, because that is not this poem.

I knew we were in trouble when they taught the machines to talk parliament of artificial owls nocturnal park line pirates watch and learn these conspirators abduct the listening chair and strap deniability to another infernal device so some hotwired pilgriming woman possesses superior ****** abilities and a skill with the violin, the pointy end camera is king yet all the negatives have been destroyed still somewhere out there remains a flash card and a hybrid set of eyes watching all the people fall to pieces we're perambulations around collapsed buildings, rather than the collapsing buildings themselves me and the machine of contradictions sick as our secrets with all kinds of shenanigans going on welcome to the age of copying minds onto hard drives and cellphones a future too heavy to carry and so we plant it deep into the soil letting the cables sleep like fading city lights, receding like strange fractured reactors at the edge of the world in lieu of flowers send hope

Often times a question regarding death, "what happens, where do you go?" I'd say it's neutral, no ringing ears, nothing at all. Though I've grown up neck deep in the tired and frightening atmosphere of death, nights spent as a child contemplating my own existence, I had learned to accept it at a fairly young age This question no longer bothers me Before I walked, before I talked genuinely, I was a million questions, a million ideas all kept under lock And the way I walked and talked was not my own And now, some days they'll call me a "man", but what I am is a hybrid of all of these thoughts bright and faded colors, painted fingers and toes, distorted and vulnerable And that sudden burst of consciousness at birth was the same I'd come to know in that moment, at the bottom with the fishes, counting pictures and having visions with my last bit of oxygen. Mermaids, gold glitter, and snakes in the water. Never had I known such a gentle touch, among some collapsed lakeside cottage. And that is why I am no longer afraid of death, because to cease to exist is not any kind of experience. And I will always remember, the sudden burst of consciousness just before the renaissance that ensued from your touch. And I will not wait And I will sing in a violently feminine fashion before the day my lung collapses

You are the light streaming through the wings of a Phengaris Arion, butterfly. The real blue a divergence from the brilliant hybrid lanterns, your radiant eyes. I walked in reckless, The slash the superheated steel, ate the sea and drank the sky, died, and flew. From the outside I came to you, a reflection, you, yourself, pineapple slices on banana leaf. Curtain the day, let the glass go dark, place the mattress on the lawn, spawn nightmares in the street, revel in an autumn rain, the dull dark white, the blazing black awaiting dawn. Your beauty is a tempest or swirling currents, that caress all the senses, for it lies not only before the eye, but in the content of action and creation, the heart in your endeavors. Forget the insincere frauds and sharks scenting sorrow, and feeding on misery in a frenzy. We together can blunt the teeth of the shark with our joy. Rose pink and fuchsia, euphoric light. The Creature from the Black Lagoon on a drive in big screen, black and white in the night. The air is scented electric. Bright waters ripple in the spaces between us.

I guess It's my duty to express Unpopular opinions But The only man I want Leaving things In my stockings Doesn't wear red He doesn't have a beard And he's not fat He's my Guy With top shelf On sale For half price I only know Two things about mistletoe 1. I've never parted My mouth inside of Its shadow 2. It would probably **** to smoke I don't need no fancy christmas trees With lights, and stars, and hypocrisies I've got hybrid harlots creeping Down into the pink of My cigarette kissed lungs

I stand before you, not as an expert, but as a concerned citizen. One of the four hundred thousand people who marched in the streets of New York on Sunday and the billions of others around the world who want to solve our climate crisis. As a poet, I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe that mankind has looked at climate change in that same way; as if it were a fiction. As if pretending that climate change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away. But I think we all know better than that now. Every week we’re seeing new and undeniable climate events, evidence that accelerated climate change is here, right now. Droughts are intensifying, our ocean’s are acidifying, with methane plumes rising up from the ocean floor. We are seeing extreme weather events and the west Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets melting at unprecedented rates decades ahead of scientific projections. The scientific community knows it. Industry knows it. Governments know it. Even the United States military knows it. The chief of the US navy’s Pacific command, Admiral Samuel Locklear recently said that climate change is our single greatest security threat. My friends, this body, perhaps more than any other gathering in human history now faces this difficult but achievable task. You can make history or you will be vilified by it. To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change lightbulbs or to buy a hybrid car. This disaster has grown beyond the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries and our governments around the world taking decisive large-scale action. We need to put a price tag on carbon emissions and eliminate government subsidies for all oil, coal, and gas companies. We need to end the free ride that industrial polluters have been given in the name of a free market economy. They do not deserve our tax dollars, they deserve our scrutiny. For the economy itself will die if our ecosystems collapse. This is not a partisan debate, it is a human one. Clean air and a livable climate area inalienable human rights and solving this crisis is not just a question of politics. It is a question of our own survival. But now it is your turn. The time to answer humankind’s greatest challenge, is now. We beg of you to face it with courage and honesty. Thank you

The encapsulating power of silence is a beckoning wonder of the universe, as we abandon our awareness and travail toward psychedelic oblivion. Although Neolithic tendencies have shaped our foreign fields of hybrid plantations at the expense of organic exuberance, it is wise that we listen to the concerts at dawn and dusk as they echo from the depths of the woodlands. In our unwitting state of being, owls often grace us with their ghostly presence. This sullen atmosphere is so damp with the juices of forgotten dreams, and we are not yet shrouded by the mysteries of such treacherous slumbers and defensive immobilisations. Look at the patterns upon the rock of the Badlands where geological delicacies are too difficult to masticate.
