Pretty Little Liars
You're just a tiny bit minimalist in your own unique way a white star I have to squint to see in daytime sky not a Mercedes five point but a Nissan Micra car you park neatly in a three point turn by my netsuke and put a circular dent on my platonic furniture Your two humble rooms devoid of any bold sculpture except a fold-out table and a miniature bubble chair and a futon for a bed which is troublesome to share you draw the line at adornments but allow a wallflower A bulb in a bowl is your ornamental garden feature mealtimes a nibble on grated carrot celery cucumber you run so long on empty you're an eco friendly teacher stretching out the energy is a passion of my lover engaging in lessons on sustaining a resourceful nature Your shoes two pointe ballet slip ons easy to care barely there g-string thin cotton underwear nothing loud to upset your understated figure slight as a pin drop your bottom's semi-derrière sits so light on feet I'd swear you float on air I rarely get to hear you come before you're in my hair with a voice pitch high as a smitten kitten's purr your upper reaches get a score sized single 'A' nice when it fits into our schemes of feng shui I carry your bundle home on the roadway rivers of light yet you only burn one ray of candle power at night born of scintillating atoms which flow along each vein containing so much love without clutter in your frame a brave star small as wings formed of minuscule wire flutters in your eyes with minimal flare but deep desire

** A new poetry posting site from God's own country, Kerala in India Poetry dates all the way back to the beginnings of Humanity. People have always been questioning nature, and the day-to-day existence of themselves and other humans love, death, survival, war, injustice, and the universe are all examples of things that have been questioned by men and woman since the roots of human existence. Whether in nursery rhyme, ballad, jingle, rhyme, anthem, or music, people have found poetry to be an outlet for expressing these questions, sensations, and experiences People often associate it with strict rhyming patterns, complicated vocabulary, hidden iconic meanings, and difficult rhythmical conventions. Poetry is even taught in school to be an intricate, complicated, inexplicable puzzle. True, poetry is difficult. Sure, it can be harder to understand than prose. However, that is only because sometimes it is involved with your inescapable complexities and uncertainties of your existence. In this era when the soul wants to go on a spree, imagination and creativity are all merged to serve and let you fulfill your wish to express. The pen, mightier than the sword, is free and can conquer hearts all over the world. So here is a site which allows unity in diversity and considers not cultural and racial barriers. It welcomes professionals and amateurs equally as poetry believe not in prejudice. Human beings are free to write their feelings and emotions. We therefore invite here people from all over the world to celebrate under the ipoetree. Feel at home here under the shade of this tree which pines to have as fruits your poems. Williamsji Maveli (Williams George Maveli) is an enthusiastic and solid writer. He is a sincere, resourceful and diligent in his poetic work. He is very well connected and networked within the literary community and is willing to take up projects even in his tight schedules. His writings reflect the amount of research on the current events that has gone into it along with his knowledge and expertise in the field. However, Williamsji’s many poems are simple to read, interpret, and understand. His latest book, titled “ARAMVIRALTHUMBATHU…” (On the tip of the sixth finger), is now published and released by H & C Books,Trichur, Kerala in India, which is a collection of lyrics.

Capricorn the sea goat Equal parts earth and water Emotions rush over like waves; quickly they consume like undertow, dragged into depths of melancholy abyss Determined, we persevere as if nothing is amiss Climbing back atop the mountain in spite of such turmoil, we bury our feelings in the cool dark soil Though sometimes we get stuck in the mud so we wait until it turns to clay Aiming to build solid foundation without delay, forming structure is our forte We’re quite resourceful, I must say! Sure, Saturn’s influence is rough; repaying karmic debts can make life feel so fatalistic It's why we can’t help being so tough; these unexpressed emotions make us want to go ballistic... Just always remember it’s all humbling at the end of the day Such lessons are important for doing whatever we may Really, we wouldn’t have it any other way

Pizza--the only I want to poor my feelings onto Because when I think of its filling capacity-- Its carb-heavy, fat drenched, and sugary-savory goodness-- I honor the people who continue the artisinal craft. Pizza--it's the food for all hungers. It fills you with energy when you're high, Just after a win with a cheery, rowdy gang of five. It's the traditional topping on the pie. Pizza--All and everything, when the time calls. When the emptiness cannot be filled, Let it be filled with years of associations. All in good company, Pizza, my best friend. So I met a new person today--quiet and resourceful, She was counting her inventory, Solving a problem set or learning a new trick. I barged in while she put aside her life for mine. She said, "What may you have, sir?" "A medium with pepperoni," I said, "and linguica, please". That was all that's said as she carried on her fees. "That'll be $18.05," and a shot of guilt charged me. Pizza, though poor my feelings how expensive the taste! When, just then, she collected the money The pizza was all too simply done and I was on my way. I was the one left, saying, " Well, enjoy your weekend!" But as I drove and the pizza aromatized, Neither she nor I were free from capitalized. A self-disciplined pizza artist, stripped of her dough, Like the boy who made chocolate with a molinillo.

My own person is healthy and courageous. My own person is self-aware and emotionally intelligent. He is growth-oriented, resourceful and positive. My own person is supportive, thoughtful, kind and empathetic. My own person is ready to take accountability, communicate and work through things even when the going gets rough. My own person desires to make me happy, chooses me and shows up for me. He is sure about me and healthily obsessed with me. My own person encourages and lifts me up when I’m at a low point. My own person does not disappear when I need him. My own person protects me. He knows how to introspect, reflect and has a desire to be better. My own person does not make me feel small or irrelevant. My own person is a secure place where I can feel at home. My own person is expressive. He is a source of light when I am in a dark place. My own person is as sure about me as the sun rises and sets without our asking, with certainty; regardless of the weather, timezone or location.

My Own Person
You see Diogenes living in the slums. He lives in a barrel. This is the man even Alexander the Great admires. So it makes you wonder about Diogenes. So you pretend to be there quite by accident and you ask: “Diogenes…Who was your teacher?” “A mouse was my teacher,” says Diogenes. You are quite confused. And you say: "A mouse is your teacher? And how is that, Diogenes? " “Well, most exquisite Sir,” says Diogenes to you. “Most cultured Sir,” he says. “I had no home and I was in the streets. I almost killed myself. Then I saw mouse. Mouse ran around and looked for food and it found some and I observed mouse for over two days. And I realized how resourceful mouse was. And then I said to myself: ‘Learn of the mouse, Diogenes- and all will be well.’ And so I learned of mouse. And every time I have a problem, I simply ask myself: ‘How will mouse solve this?’ And so mouse became my teacher. And now, most Exquisite Sir, I have a problem. You. I want to get rid of you and I ask myself: ‘How would mouse solve this problem?’ He would bite…” You listen to this and you are afraid – and you run. And Diogenes has done well; he has learned well from his teacher. And you can hear him shouting to you: “By the way, who was your teacher?”

I have fought hard with Anxiety Having been swung between Two spheres of moods One of melancholy and the other Of excited elated optimism Between the two I would exhaust myself Day and Night And to deal with my emotions Was no easy task I would cry and weep I would feel down And blame myself I would apologize For being thus I was not in my element I tell When I am fresh I feel I have lagged behind Due to missing things while at low It has been one sad plight For me to have come thus far I am still hopeful of a day When I have overcome These swinging moods I hope to keep a positive Spirit that enables me To act constructively When I can't be constructive I would just start affirm That I am more Than I think I am Then I start To work like I have been Able bodied and able minded Sitting here jotting down makes it all come to view. Affirm and believe that is what i do now to be better each day I am responsible I am reliable I ma resourceful I am resilient i am healthy; i am lucky ; i am virtuous; i am organized I feel the energy when I say these I act different when I say these I have faith surging into my veins From somewhere or nowhere I create, I cook, I clean, I write, I eat, I make tea, I feed my family I pray, I meditate, I am not overwhelmed i am a wonderful person When I affirm I can live with this person She is good to me She thinks highly of me She attracts nice friends to her She is just pleasant to be around She is someone I could love forever She is my friend and hero She is my superstar and confidant She is all I need to keep me Close to the Creator I love her I love me I love the positive me I love the quiet me I love the peaceful me I love the loving me I love the lovable me i love all that she could be I love all that she gave up for me I love her day and night I love being with her all my life I need noone but her I need nothing but her love I need nothing but her assurance I need only her She and I We are one and the same We play and plan together We are best friends We create our good times We are the joy of the world We are the gift to the world Together we conquer Together we let go Together we enjoy the ocean Together we go places Together we are I and myself

This brown buff speckled throstle of a bird sits in the higher most branches of a yet to be leafed poplar tree . . . and sings. Such a song in the April morning air it greets the day, celebrates the rising sun. Above a suburban street the bird’s song catches the reverberation of a double row of houses, their windows bouncing sonic reflections of unaccompanied melismata.   Olivier Messiaen loved this bird for its répétition égale. Walking the mountain woods around his summer home he would wonder that the grive musicienne could make so exactly repetition after repetition of a complex phrase. A proto-minimalist perhaps? The male mistle thrush appears in several ***** works but most prominently in Saint Francois d'Assis singing luminously on the clarinet.   Although this is the ungregarious male singing away on this spring morning his name carries a female designation Turdus Philomelos. Poor Philomel, whose name means one who loved song, she was a princess of Athens lusted after by King Tereus who took her to a cottage in distant woods and ***** her. Then, he cut out her tongue.   Vengeful Philomel alone in the woods, but a most resourceful and artistic young woman, she set about weaving a tapestry that told all.   *‘She set up a Tracian loom And wove on a white fabric scarlet symbols That told in detail what had happened to her*.’   She sent the finished piece to Tereus who promptly ordered Philomel's death and that of her sisters (one of whom he was married to). As the girls were about to be slain they were changed magically into three birds . .   Joanna Laurens play The Three Birds takes the only fragment we have of Sophocles telling of this strange tale. Laurens is both musician and linguist and the text is a marvel of strange sounds and rhythms as the sisters communicate with each other in their personal private language akin, it is said, to Jersiese, an ancient Breton dialect.   So thank you dear song thrush for this morning's wonder: a song sans pariel.

I think yesterday is years away; Between one and the other, Between fathers and brothers. So sisters and mothers Blink feathery at their watches. Hums like a hummingbird Flails to a shrillness, And a polyphonic fearing panic Pulls us all back by chance To the chancery. Somewhere after grandfathers Before grandsons, Like Robert Frost being a modern Not modernist— There’s the last of the conceivable eros— Conceived by sleeping Resource and resourceful Poverty with all the impressionism of the gardens and allegories at a dinner party.

you know Poet Archetypal - everything about him was Poe-tickle When he sneezed he said: Haiku! When introduced to someone,  he'd say: "Haven't we met-a-phor?" He's quite resourceful like he'd introduced himself to the girl because he wanted to meter When he took his leave he'd say: "Love to stay - but it's getting a-lliter-ate" And sure he met Luke Skywalker and said to him: "Met-a-phors with you" It was fun having him around but lately he's been in prison for driving without poetic license; and also because his creditors pursued him because he just Ode so much

Did you happen to notice That last year Santa's sleigh Was missing an important Figure, by the way? Let's see: Comet and ***** Along with Cupid and Prancer Were there, and so were Donner, Dasher, Blitzen, and Dancer. Which reindeer was missing? Rudolph? Ah, you guessed it. The news was out there, but The media had suppressed it. (Because of frequent fog, Santa was being sensible In counting on dear Rudolph, Who had become indispensable.) It all started like this: On the morning of Christmas Eve, Rudolph was tired from having Been on the qui vive For sneaky present robbers All the previous night. By noon, poor ol' Rudolph Looked a sorry sight. To perk himself up a bit-- The "where" is still unclear-- He dipped into a little Too much Christmas "cheer." Now I don't know about you, But Rudolph's nose would flicker Whenever he drank wine Or any other liquor. When the team of reindeer Lined up, Santa could tell That sleigh-guiding Rudolph Wasn't doing so well. Needless to say, Santa Really got a whiff When he approached his friend And took a little sniff. "I can tell, dear Rudolph, That you've been making merry. Did you turn your eggnog Into a Tom and Jerry?" "I think--hiccup!--a little," Said Rudolph with a blush. "Go to bed," said Santa. "We are in a rush." That night Santa was forced-- Although he felt remorseful-- To use toys with lights To guide him. How resourceful! So last year if the batteries To your toys were run down, Causing disappointment And many a tear and frown, Don't feel so sad. They went to a good cause: They helped to distribute Gifts from Santa Claus. Regarding this year, I Don't want to keep you guessin': Rudolph's back in service. I think he learned his lesson. But some say Santa's considering-- Despite objections and moans-- Future gift deliveries With the use of Amazon's drones. - by Bob B

Needed someone to love someone to hold, someone to fall for Couldn't I have told You, that I wasn't cold Out of my mold I could not crowl Just a little bold That's what I needed to be, lord To confront the world No treasure, silver or gold Too young, I wasn't that old To take consideration, And of your love behold The world distorting your peace Your true self I could not uphold Couldn't you have managed to hold Hold onto me through madness and massacre How could I have believed We had no enemies When all I saw was war Our chances were rigged Our chances were not ours to deal Our places were not opportune Our cards were long fortold We held onto the unattainable We fell to the struggle from within We were fighting hard to rebuild What had already failed, Thinking the helpless Could reverse their inevitable fall In the questions, desperation, and pondering No catharsis, no purging, avails All the true revelations are lost Only un-resourceful quiescence stalls

Reconnaissance of Failed Love
Well it was Tarquin's idea, actually. It came to him after watching 'Slumdog Millionaire.' Have you seen it? Marvellous film. Such resourceful people. Anyway, we were looking at schools, and the local comprehensive - simply ghastly - we couldn't put Eugene through that. But two blocks away there's a school for the blind. Ofsted simply raved about it. So, we popped the old eyes out - easy as - and Bob's your uncle. He starts in August. More tea?

How funny it is that when you describe a girl you call her pretty, call her beautiful, call her gorgeous. Our girls grow up with the only compliments they receive to be ones remarking their bodies and yet we wonder why we can't get them to eat. They grow up believing wither consciously or unconscious they are judges by the bodies. That the size of their jeans is their caste.   That if they aren't pretty they are nothing. Our little girls slather on the makeup and step into their heels smile till the corners of their mouths crack as if life was a beauty pageant and success and happiness were prizes to be won. When you describe a boy you call his strong, call him tough, call him powerful. Put the weight of the world in his hands and hope he can handle it. Our men lead the way and our girls follow. Why when you see a girl you never call her intelligent, call her resourceful, call her powerful. Imagine a world where little girls weren't just bodies. They were the daughters of destiny and the friends of fate. They could do anything, and they were told that from the second they could listen. Imagine if our girls could look past their bodies, could pus aside shame and hate and learn to love the vessels. Imagine if our girls were powerful.
