In the poem Völuspá, a dead völva recounts the history of the universe and foretells the future to the disguised god Odin. Hjúki and Bil are the children of Máni and together they are the three phases of the moon in Icelandic and Norsk mythology. I had forgotten this story which I read as a child until I started writing this poem. If this post badly like i suspect it might, it is suppose to be a crescent moon.
Pretty self explainatory
The night has come and I'm thinking of you Your touch, your, scent and us as two Missing your arms that secure me so tight It's about that time the clock has struck mid-night Grab me gently, and pull me against you So we can cuddle like cou
zazen hours over the invisible ocean..
Trees bare from the depths of autumn, winter stealthily creeps upon us, leaves are missing for the lack of the sun, but soon the christmas cheer will make such a fuss, Our children and grandchildren will be full of highs, wondering what gifts

Many of us speak on things without root knowledge. And because of not having root knowledge we usually will speak about anything, positively or negatively, without full facts. We become self righteous on many levels and eventually become false prophets. And the more we attract ignorant crowds who embrace our incompleteness, the more monstrous we become.
Definition poetry as the word suggests, defines the subject. Triangular poems, are one of the shapes you can make a poem conform to, in shape or concrete poetry. Nonets are poems of nine lines, where the first line is one syllable, and you add one syllable to each subsequent line, until the ninth line has nine syllables.
Hokey, but fun, and true.

This poem describes a current state humans are in. We have reached a point in our evolutionary cycle where we speak without listening to others. We may even talk when others are talking and miss the entire subject matter or the moral to a story. Being silent twice as much as we speak allows one to fully hear, fully understand, and intelligently respond.
I wrote this poem. About losing love Sometimes we are remove from someone life,because god has someone better for you.
Love til there is no end. Love the lover, family or friend. Love until the cosmic forces hits send. Love the one you're with til there is no end. Love til the wheels for flat. Love hugs, kisses or gives a soft pat. Love heals through quarrels and spa

I would hope that the reader would expreience something sensuous and spiritual. The normal buzz of insects and birdsong fall quiet during a good refreshing down pour from the heavens, leaving only the unignorable patter of rain on the canopy and the breath of the wind that follows. To be alone in a great forest and experience this, is a privilage. If you listen, you will hear it speak! Maybe you can hear it now?

The maintenance man, at the request of a tenant cut branches from a tree outside her window so she could see the driveway.?? I thought what would happen if the tree did not turn c leaves because they could no longerolors in the fall because of too much cutting? Would we bargin an artist for his pallet to paint the colors on the leaves because they could no change themselves. There is no more snow for sleighs oly wet mud and mireand the sleighs are chewed up by the mud. Have we become so lax ss to give gall to a thirsting lam as they did the Lamb of God? Is there any hopthat we will care or will we become breakfast for the wolves??

I wrote this poem on Saturday as I was overcome with the emotion of comforting the people suffering from recent tragedies around our world. I wanted to write through my tears of compassion. "Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future." Nelson Mandela
