Seeded Time
January 26, 2026
Sensational reports brought angst with regret
Isn’t this what we believed was our era?
Our mutual responsibility is to furiously reject
The death of civilization for specious reasons
Retrieved patriotism is battered, worn, tired
Suspended
December 19, 2025
Time capsules hang in suspense, dangerous
The weight of the revelations slowly increased
Until the fruits of the karmic past dropped
Leaving remnants of shocking facts
Hanging in the dark air without explanations
Merchandise
December 3, 2025
What kind of items do you want to leave
As a reminder of your experience with life?
Are the symbols of power or trappings of wealth
Important in the long version of this story?
Which remaining objects hold meaning?
Procession
November 12, 2025
What interior means to the outer layer
Death means to the busy nature of life
Glory, fame, earthly power and pleasure
Disintegrate instantly at the end
Proceed with caution, proceed with care
Artificial intelligence
November 9, 2025
Landing on earth today without warning
Would be a great vexation to alien life
The current rush to invest in technology
Is fueled by robots already smarter than man
It looks like the ultimate confidence job
Convincing humans to give it all the power
Yet, this strategy seems to work for now
How ludicrous!
Variations
October 30, 2025
Nature’s systems show varied cycles
Taking time and weather into account
They find individual ways to express
What they have been sent here to say
Planetary Resources
October 29, 2025
As snow melts slushy liquid flows downhill
In channels shifting constantly by erosion
As the water passes plants are nourished
Abundance is at hand, ease is possible
Yet some are left without moisture
Others are wiped out by floods
The resources are not distributed evenly
Proton Dance
October 23, 2025
The forms before our eyes take over our senses
Creative opportunities are forever surfacing
Long enough to be caught for future use
Start the harvest of potential by observation
Falling Leaves
October 20, 2025
To catch a falling leaf on Halloween
Requires stealth and cunning beyond measure
To capture the essence of this seasonal luck
Concentrate fully on your goals and wishes
With visions of success for all your relations
Flat Aspect
October 13, 2025
Shooting commandments from the asphalt
Moses makes an effort to convey
Deep meaning and portents
To these pronouncements of responsibility
His efforts fall flat
