Gerunds live in the present
in a simple participle kind of way;
possessive words will augment
their meaning in redisplay
if you understand my speaking, so to say.

From verbs to nouns you’re making
except when dealing with nominative case
so we shall not be breaking
grammatical rules in place
and leave English teachers everywhere quaking.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Leave English teachers a loan
so they will be able to buy a new home
to spend their summers alone
or visit the Superdome
where English seems a foreign language to some.

English is a foreign tongue
and to hear it on the phone, you must press one
but I will not be among
those people so just for fun
I press random numbers until they are done.

I press random numbers till
something strikes my mind to help me to recall
my PIN (vanishes at will)
for debit card at the mall.
Why can't I remember something that's that small?

Small numbers won’t come to me
but neither do I remember the large ones,
they’re gone to the nth degree.
In between I know by tons
but others will always leave me lost at see.

so you won't be lost at see

seven-eleven format
then seven then seven-eleven again
becomes a welcome doormat;
a-b-a-b-b maintain
and you'll stay on track when you your sight regain.

the lone rhea ranger

I think I have regained sight
and my brain is operating at its peak
but between my eyes you smite
me with formats and I seek
the beginning of this string and take a peek.

behind the seens

I often peek at the start
because I forget things often at my age;
I'm not really all that smart
and couldn't be called a sage,
so I check out the beginning when offstage.

comedy of eras

The stage upon which we play
will not ever see a sold out audience
to hear what we have to say,
which comes in an abundance,
and is delivered with some impertinence.

No Disgust

Impertinence is our style
delivered even when no one else reads us;
we give each other a smile
while we hardly ever cuss
and it is likely we'll never be discussed.

florid gardens

When discussing diverse forms
we’ve delved into idiosyncratic verse,
which have challenged all the norms
on poetry sites. Mosaic Musings’ curse
or blessing is it’s filled with new seeds and corms.

Corm now!

Corm? the rhizome of the site?
a big bulb where all the energy is stored?
Perhaps we'll flower in spite
of the fact that we're all bored?
Maybe you or Merlin will strike a bright chord.

greener past yours

If Merlin strikes a bright chord,
will I be there to help him in any way
or in the cups which I’ve poured
bemoaning those who won’t stay
believing there is somewhere they’ll be adored.

Loved in Linens

If they'd like to be adored
they might just hang around with us for a while
and become part of our horde;
we would love them without guile
and even dress them in linen and argyle.

note to author

Addressed in linen or guile
some think good critique is used to criticize
and that you’ve placed them on trial
but that is just alibis
people use when they want you to patronize.

Patron Eyes

You want me to patronize?
That was the most intelligent piece ever!
It really opened my eyes,
and it is very clever;
would I change even one word of it? never!




By the way, that's almost what I would have said without patronizing!

alter a shun

“Never change one word of it!”
is a critique everyone would like to hear
but there’s always a small bit
some would modify. I fear
that most of their suggestions do not endear.

Peek Speak

Most suggestions won't endear
the critiquer to the author that's critiqued;
however, the sight-seer
with rave review that is sneaked
in after two minutes: author's joy is piqued.

valued versus?

The peak of an author’s joy
is to be recognized and emulated;
a dream since I was a boy.
but I guess I am fated
to present alternatives to those jaded.
