Hey lets start this thing and gain a little mnemonic Cuz the teachers always explaining things so dull and robotic But you got it, just trust this rhyme and I promise you'll have it Let me teach you the equation for the function quadratic It goes A, X and a 2 up high Add that to a B multiplied with a Y Put a plus sign and add the third term, the C And set all that equal to a 0 bee It's that easy, with that you can plot the graph That will show you where the ball went and its flightpath See the value of X shows where the line hits the axis To illustrate where the ball was caught and where it was passed It's cuts of cake to find this data with a formula rap So keep in mind these fresh rhymes to the beat of the clap You set X on the left, follow with an equal sign Put the next little sect about a dividing line And that little piece starts with a negative b Add and subtract square root of B high 2 minus 4AC Then divide what you get by 2 times A If you forget this part man, your whole answers at stake But if you follow my rules, and do all of this rap's math I guarantee the next reports gonna say that you passed

The Quadratic Function Conjunction
Rise and shine, first thing in the morning walking past the mirror. Avoiding its reflection, not wanting to see its reflective picture. Kneeling in the shower, hands pressed tightly to her ribs.   Who is this frightened child?  Does she even exist?   She took a step back from the world, no one knew she was alive.   Now she’s grasping at her life, just trying to survive. A tainted childhood in shame now fragile bones from self abuse, don’t blame her though, she was only a child confused.   How did this happen?  When did this begin?   She seemed so happy, or was that all pretend?   She had started at 130, or so, but felt as if she had lost control. What happened to this dear sweet innocent child?   Her idea of beauty and perfection had driven her wild. Minus 25 later she was so close.   Almost 100 without any clothes.   No one would touch her, they thought she would break.   She told herself she was content with that trade. I was 18. ~ I’m much better now in my adult discipline eating healthy 3 meals a day purely for consumption.   Yesterday, I skipped dinner in lieu of drinking wine. Today at noon, hovering over my breakfast, I resign Some days I struggle. Some days I am not fine. But ... I will eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner. And paint my pretty pictures.

Eat, Drink and Paint
the heavy heart is a heathen corrupter of better nature committer of soul-treason fueled by the miserable notion that death is twilight and life is dawn to flight, to flail to rage, to rail to weep, to wail to no avail to unhope and all of this minus the mercy ©Jason Cole

Minus The Mercy
Ang love story natin Ay parang kwento ng theme songs ng JaDine Di ka fan, di mo siguro maaappreciate Pero kinakantahan tayo ni Nadine Lustre at James Reid Ang daming tanong nung umpisa Ang daming pagdududa Game na ba? Ano na? Sure na ba? Ang hiling ko, sige na *Para ngang isang pagsusulit Bawal magbura, one seat apart, walang kopyahan, Right minus wrong, kung di alam 'wag hulaan, Kumpletuhin ang patlang, bawal ang tyambahan* *Para ngang isang pagsusulit Pinag-isipang mabuti* Hanggang sa sabi mo, "Oo na.". Yes! Oh, *wala ng bawian, mamatay man, period no erase*! Matapos no'n, nagdagsaan ang mga pagsubok Katulad din naman sa kahit kaninong relasyon *Pero dahil naniwalang sayo'y may forever Pareho tayong hindi sumu-render* *Pagkat sayo natagpuan ang ipinagkait sa akin At sakin mo naramdaman and di mo akalain Ipaglalaban ko Ipaglalaban mo* *Wala na tayong **** basta bahala na Alam lang kasi natin mahal natin ang isa't isa At kahit pa sabihin na, tayo'y di itinadhana Na na na na na na na na na na na bahala na* Pero katulad din ng ibang relasyon Lumalamig, parang kapeng napaglipasan ng panahon Tumitigas, parang pandesal na naiwan sa kahon Tila di na alam kung san tayo paroroon *Piniling lumayo Ngunit pilitin man ay bumabalik sayo Di matatago kahit magpanggap Ang iyong yakap, ikaw, ang hanap-hanap* *Ikaw ang hanap-hanap Dahil ang puso'y nangangarap Na magsasamang muli Na may happy ending bandang huli* Pero di pa tapos Ang kwento natin hindi pa tapos Sana'y hindi pa tapos At sana'y di na matapos Tatlong kanta pa lang naman No Erase, Bahala Na at Hanap-hanap Sana ay kumanta pa sila Sana ay marami pa At sana, kahit gaano man karami Masayang kanta ang maiwan sa huli Yung may forever, may happy ending Kaya sige, mag-duet pa kayo JaDine

Writing
Back to the scrawling pad a cheap red notebook wide ruled, with the perforated pages in it in case I wanna punch one out easily Those moleskin daze were measly Thinking I'm creative and potent but spending two years to fill those tiny pages Please, help me reinvent the feel and manifest it to real, accomplishment Songs, verse, or vice grip words to change a nation with - to start a new nation with Bokonon Bhikkhu hurling Pikachus down from Mt. Olympus land on the concrete with lemming splat Get the metaphor? I don't. Make your own up I just an absurdest A poor boy humming Queen and writing rap atrocities Nah, the rap "apocalypse" minus all the apostrophes Write so much anything anyone says from now until oblivion was just quoting me!

Sometimes a Cocky Rapper
It’s something that try we should To provide the parrot its basic food Apple minus seeds mango banana Grape orange guava papaya As for vegetables cooked dried bean With beet broccoli its heart you can win Cucumber carrot and cauliflower They surely love like they love a shower Corn on the cob is fun for parrot They aren’t fussy as them you thought Hot peppers peapod lettuce For them delicacies you can choose Sweet and baked potato well cooked yam They devour in delight add to their glam Parrots are cute friendly and nice Give them oatmeal millet brown rice They’re not greedy from you they won’t beg Though these birds love scrambled boiled egg The parrot is innocent gorgeous and sweet Can’t call them carnivore yes they like meat Must talk to them and not keep your mouth shut Your loving pet the parrot loves occasional nut. Now words of caution what don’t do them good Candy and chocolate and all junk food I know you are smart and not at all mean To offer this wonder bird mushrooms caffeine Believe my words they aren’t my opinion Use them in your food don’t give them onion Dairy products for them are a big ‘no’ ‘no’ You surely want them to healthily glow Give the parrot shower keep its cage clean Give them just fresh foods no sugar no caffeine Say ‘no’ to pesticides choose only organic See in their bowel nothing goes toxic Follow what I’ve said the task is not hard Spend your time well with this beautiful bird.

A small skiff drifted in the harbor guided by the eazy oars of a fisherman standing in the hull to better view the shimmering reflection of the orange circle hovering overhead- dancing with the gentle waves in the morning mist. Monet had to name it something so he called it what it was:           "Impression, soleil levant." A critic, wanting poison for his pen, seized Monet's title to squeeze a lethal dose into the radical veins of the artist and his fellows of the gallery           (Renoir, Pissarro, Cezanne). With scathing indignation he dubbed the lot of them,            "Mere Impressionists." The label endures (minus one word) but how many recall or care to know the righteous critic's name?

Do you hate the way      that our magnetized times turn us all to metal shavings--      push and pull--charged each day to fill up negative space with negative attraction? Were you repulsed when polarities                                           changed? Or was that me?      Flipping switches                      switching sides                                       siding with pivot points showing, caught with pants down? "Be a man now!"           While the female end           of the port calls out,           "Shipwreck! Shipwreck!                All men down!" Count me out at minus 4      it leaves a balance: minus 3 At minus 10, our blood could freeze and fall back earthward; blood red snow. Caught on the tongue it tastes like pennies.           Tastes just like           the metal shavings           we become           in magnetized times.                Polarized and "Family Sized." Underpaid Overfed. Neutralized America. Greatest country in the ******* world.                     Right?

Shipwreck! Shipwreck!
And so the green balloons did grow Inflated, nurtured over time, This tree of air Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Argon, Traces of other gases too, Out side was warm Internal temp minus triple degrees, What had been barren branches Now sustained as these Strings matured forth Buds of latex and rubber grew, Liquid air exhaled as the buds nurtured   Air expanded with warm the green balloons Grew & Grew Sprung forth in to life what once was Small, now expanded fuelled by the Cold fuel of the tree of white, In the winds they did gesture As if dancing putting on a show Tree, Branch, String, Green balloons flourished there veins Feeding air anew, Blustery winds picked up Strings did snap, green balloons did Float away, drifting upon high Into a sea of blue, But as seasons change, Green balloons became loose Many floated away to places new Those that did not, Deflated, Depleted, Exhausted, Nourishment of air, no longer green ballons Phenomenon's of gases changed And green faded now this tree of air Brought forth new shades of    Yellows, Purples, Black, Oranges, So these colours did fall from the tree, Floating not as before, They did descend, slowly to the floor, Biodegradable. they did fade From view, not what they were before, The life cycle of these green balloons The tree of white grows evermore cold, For seasons change and green balloons will Grow again next spring  floating in the air once more.

Tree Of Green Balloons
******* feelings, I wish I didn't have them. I wish I wouldn't be jealous over any little thing. I could go on with life without any type of remorse. I could go on with this monotonous, existence. But without you of course. Because love is mother nature's most powerful force. But without it, I wouldn't have any passion to chase you. And i wouldn't want to be in love, because I wouldn't have to. But that isn't real, it's really not possible. All of these feelings I hold are unstoppable. Under all this emotion, i see clearer than ever. Ready to conquer any ******* endeavor. I need you like water, without you, I'd die. Like a bird needs it's feathers, minus you, I can't fly. You're this constant itch, i feel on my lips. And when I scratch it, I take in huge hits of bliss. So All of this time, I could have felt this? And now that I've tasted you, I know what I've missed. You are the best cuddles, tip top of the list. The most amazing sensation, everytime we kiss.

A Letter To My Aunt Discussing The Correct Approach To Modern Poetry To you, my aunt, who would explore The literary Chankley Bore, The paths are hard, for you are not A literary Hottentot But just a kind and cultured dame Who knows not Eliot (to her shame). Fie on you, aunt, that you should see No genius in David G., No elemental form and sound In T.S.E. and Ezra Pound. Fie on you, aunt! I'll show you how To elevate your middle brow, And how to scale and see the sights From modernist Parnassian heights. First buy a hat, no Paris model But one the Swiss wear when they yodel, A bowler thing with one or two Feathers to conceal the view; And then in sandals walk the street (All modern painters use their feet For painting, on their canvas strips, Their wives or mothers, minus hips). Perhaps it would be best if you Created something very new, A ***** novel done in Erse Or written backwards in Welsh verse, Or paintings on the backs of vests, Or Sanskrit psalms on lepers' chests. But if this proved imposs-i-ble Perhaps it would be just as well, For you could then write what you please, And modern verse is done with ease. Do not forget that 'limpet' rhymes With 'strumpet' in these troubled times, And commas are the worst of crimes; Few understand the works of Cummings, And few James Joyce's mental slummings, And few young Auden's coded chatter; But then it is the few that matter. Never be lucid, never state, If you would be regarded great, The simplest thought or sentiment, (For thought, we know, is decadent); Never omit such vital words As belly, genitals and -----, For these are things that play a part (And what a part) in all good art. Remember this: each rose is wormy, And every lovely woman's germy; Remember this: that love depends On how the Gallic letter bends; Remember, too, that life is hell And even heaven has a smell Of putrefying angels who Make deadly whoopee in the blue. These things remembered, what can stop A poet going to the top? A final word: before you start The convulsions of your art, Remove your brains, take out your heart; Minus these curses, you can be A genius like David G. Take courage, aunt, and send your stuff To Geoffrey Grigson with my luff, And may I yet live to admire How well your poems light the fire.

the first drop of water not ice from the sky signals the season’s change new england so pretty looking angelic drew me in a venus fly trap locked in a prism snow reflecting back to me eerie thoughts shrouded in black no place for a runner where I can escape them locked in by the fireplace tattered ashes mockingly laugh i flee and i run minus eight reads the meter frostbitten returning trapped with my thinking blocked in on all sides the icy walls fold in on me forced to see the reflection looking back at me go away brightness banish your glow i need the shadows where hidden feelings quietly cower another storm coming madness engulfs me searching for pen grasping at paper salvation words spilling out parts of me buried so skillfully long ago finally see light just for a moment the respite’s exquisite then longing for springtime oh god, why can’t it rain? ©2016janetaylor

I sit on my back stoop, alone in the moonless dark lit only by a window glowing in my neighbor's new spa room. Spikey tropical plants. backlit by warm yellow light are all I can see from my vantage point only yards away. But my imagination runs to visions of two lovers delighting in their newest acquisition, bathing in clouds of fragrant steam, a couple still together. They have each other, while I sit alone, me minus you. Eileen Auger 4/4/2010

I just heard a poem today About a man who was heart broken And how he only thought about The next guy kissing his ex; Or how he wouldn’t lock the door In case she came back. And the people cheered.. He was amazing actually So much emotion in his voice And the people cheered.. There’s a fellow who entertains! I could never do that; So I envy him. But; I hope that person never has to suffer Through sleepless nights Hoping she finally calls, Or seeing that new Facebook picture Of her with another man, Cuddled in the same bed I was in a JUST a week prior Kissing those lips, that tasted so sweet When we last said goodbye, Less than seven **** days ago! I hope that person never has to heal And spend his next 3 years, rejected Rejected and rejected By every single girl he finally falls for. I hope that person doesn’t spend his days Hoping that even once a week he can play His favorite 2-player video game With a woman who only wants to Order some pizza afterwards; while Cuddling up to a horror movie and a kiss, Goodnight. It’s easy to find a drinking partner Or somebody who will take their clothes off at midnight and be dressed fast enough To catch the last train. But wanting to hear about the person’s day Or what their favorite novel is; Their desires, Their fears Or why she has those scars On that beautiful body. Or why she doesn’t think she’s pretty When to you she’s the prettiest girl That you’ve ever cuddled up in bed with While you watched her play Zelda. Finding that is tough. I hope that person is never me Ruining every conversation going his way. Trying so hard to keep her smiling, While forgetting that he’s an ******* Who doesn’t know when to stop talking. That he doesn’t make enough money To take her out for a romantic dinner Or that he can’t drive when she’s stuck In the middle of nowhere; in minus 20 weather I hope that person realizes Writing at 4:30 AM, on a work night Because another man’s poetry Made someone else think of a girl That he doesn’t deserve And can’t have Is exactly how some writers live. And we just wish we were entertaining.

I am not born as yet, five minutes before my birth. I can still go back into my unbirth. Now it’s ten minutes before, now, it’s one hour before birth. I go back, I run into my minus life. I walk through my unbirth as in a tunnel with bizarre perspectives. Ten years before, a hundred and fifty years before, I walk, my steps thump, a fantastic journey through epochs in which there was no me. How long is my minus life, nonexistence so much resembles immortality. Here is Romanticism, where I could have been a spinster, Here is the Renaissance, where I would have been an ugly and unloved wife of an evil husband, The Middle Ages, where I would have carried water in a tavern. I walk still further, what an echo, my steps thump through my minus life, through the reverse of life. I reach Adam and Eve, nothing is seen anymore, it’s dark. Now my nonexistence dies already with the trite death of mathematical fiction. As trite as the death of my existence would have been had I been really born.

Woman Unborn
The question has to be asked, “How hard can it be, for a man to get a decent cup of tea”? How can people get something so simple so wrong? A question that has vexed me for ever so long. Let me be clear, lest there be any confusion I’m not into tea leaves or these fancy new infusions Nor herbal or green, earl grey or the rest A good plain cup of tea is simply the best! I wonder why it is that people bother to ask When they will not put any real effort into the task Yes they are careful to ask how you take your tea But what you get is something different, entirely If there is one thing that really gets to me It is being made a half cup of tea I always opt for a mug because there’s never enough in a cup But for some reason they seem incapable of filling it up! After just two mouthfuls, Surprise! It is all gone! I hate always having to ask for another one All the effort they made has gone to waste The whole experience leaving a very bad taste. Making tea is a formula, very hard to get wrong why so often served weak when I always ask for strong? A small drop of milk please, how hard can it be? But I often get tea in my milk, not milk in my tea I do like my sugar and to tell the truth I do possess an awfully sweet tooth “three and a bit” I say when they ask But is stirring it such an impossible task? How easy can it be? Just move the ****** spoon You were just standing there, what else were you doing? And to see all that sugar sitting there at the end Would drive the most sane person round the bend Another thing I get really mad about Is when people do not take the teabag out And though the cup appears to be full to the top You take the bag out and watch the level drop You might think it’s funny but it’s certainly not What to do with a teabag that is dripping hot? A cup of tea is supposed to help you relax Not be the cause of minor heart attacks And the biggest evil, by far the worst Is those who serve tea, knowing the teabag has burst At the end you get a mouthful of leaves and grit I do love my tea but wonder if it is worth it. It got to the stage where I considered drinking coffee But I was bamboozled by the variety available to me Mocha or latte, perhaps a frappuccino, Or maybe an espresso or a cappuccino No, the idea of drinking coffee just left me cold all I really wanted was a cup of tea truth be told, Though I have been accused of taking this issue too seriously There is nothing in the world quite like…. a decent cup of Tea!

I wonder why it is that people bother to ask When they will not put any real effort into the task Yes they are careful to ask how you take your tea But what you get is something different, entirely If there is one thing that really gets to me It is being made a half cup of tea I always opt for a mug because there’s never enough in a cup But for some reason they seem incapable of filling it up! After just two mouthfuls, Surprise! It is all gone! I hate always having to ask for another one All the effort they made has gone to waste The whole experience leaving a very bad taste. Making tea is a formula, very hard to get wrong why so often served weak when I always ask for strong? A small drop of milk please, how hard can it be? But I often get tea in my milk, not milk in my tea I do like my sugar and to tell the truth I do possess an awfully sweet tooth “three and a bit” I say when they ask But is stirring it such an impossible task? How easy can it be? Just move the ****** spoon You were just standing there, what else were you doing? And to see all that sugar sitting there at the end Would drive the most sane person round the bend Another thing I get really mad about Is when people do not take the teabag out And though the cup appears to be full to the top You take the bag out and watch the level drop You might think it’s funny but it’s certainly not What to do with a teabag that is dripping hot? A cup of tea is supposed to help you relax Not be the cause of minor heart attacks And the biggest evil, by far the worst Is those who serve tea, knowing the teabag has burst At the end you get a mouthful of leaves and grit I do love my tea but wonder if it is worth it. It got to the stage where I considered drinking coffee But I was bamboozled by the variety available to me Mocha or latte, perhaps a frappuccino, Or maybe an espresso or a cappuccino No, the idea of drinking coffee just left me cold all I really wanted was a cup of tea truth be told, Though I have been accused of taking this issue too seriously There is nothing in the world quite like…. a decent cup of Tea!

Quadratics - Day 11
THE FLAMES EAT THE PSEUDO-GOTHIC HOUSE He was an Action Man minus a left arm and trousers. A dog had chewed his head almost off. But - he still had thought. She was a Lego Lady, Built of red and blue blocks. She was forever coming apart trying to keep body and soul together. She had only one eye and no mouth to speak off. Same dog who had a passion for the chewing of toys. But - she still had thought. They met one night when thrown together in the toy box. A giantess' voice had screamed "YOU TIDY UP THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW!" He loved the Lego Lady's yellow block hair. It was like a helmet...suited her face. And oh that one little eye and the way it would look at you! She saw at once that he had no genitals/ but then - neither had she. It was a purely platonic affair. They thought and thought at one another for hours. They got on like a house on fire but one night the house went on fire. They held on to each other both melting into a final embrace. Mother always told me "You shouldn't play with matches!"

THE FLAMES EAT THE PSEUDO-GOTHIC HOUSE
This is just so all of you know, I appreciate all of the support you’ve shown, Helped me regain a positivity, helped me to grow, Relit the fire inside me, allowing me to once again glow. The caring nature you all completely have, I know you’re all genuine; it’s not just a job to get cash, You really want to help, give us the skills so we know what to do if we crash, Help us see the good inside ourselves, the true facts. So thank you again for everything you’ve done, Because now I can hold my head up, I can see the sun, You helped me unlock a lot of my skeletons, Once again I can start to enjoy life and have fun. Keep up the good work, especially when it’s tough, Even if you only manage a little, it will be enough, To help us deal or unravel some of our stuff, Just a smile can help when we’re feeling rough. So I want you all to give yourself a hug and pat on the back, Maybe one day we will meet again, (minus the hat) When my life is going somewhere, back on track, Thank you all, from the hard nut to crack, insomniac. © Emma Johnson
