Relative IT

Eerie action

at a distance

compound fraction

coexistence.

** ** ** **

Inaction is

logistical

to poet’s pen

amystical.

*** *** *** ***

Dependent on

prevailing mood

single neutron

and science pseud.

**** **** **** ****

Entanglement:

Where love meets fate

as episodes

accelerate.

NOTE: This poem is based on two recent incidents where roses and tea were key players in scenarios that I must describe as magic! The month of February in the year of 2016 has been extraordinary—and there is still a Leap Year Day on the horizon. It can only mean more magic…and I wish it for all who happen to read these words…yes, YOU.

Ancient Linen

Posted on February 25, 2016 by mlhe under Poetry

Carbon data

in aging test

tells for certain

what year she dressed.

But not the who

of that woman’s

so long ago

neckline, bosoms.

Metal necklace…

still in the tomb?

And her earrings?

What of her womb?

Dressed or naked

life she lived well

back when time’s weave

was parallel.

NOTE: The dress someone wore a long time ago was in the news:

A weave of modern linen.

TRANsymbolATE

“TRANSymboLATE”

Hello, new word

and new style poem

I’ve come to take

your numbers home.

1111 1111 1111 1111

Through love of fours

in stanza sets

and patterned rows

I forgive debts.

2222 2222 2222 2222

Use of quanta

stating logic

gives rise to play

with symbolic.

3333 3333 3333 3333

Mind traveling

off course I’ve veered

to code-create

what’s very weird.

4444 4444 4444 4444

….so here’s the poem::::

1 + = …………………………….One Plus Equals

3, #, #s ………………………….Three sharp numbers

2 + 4 & …………………………..two plus four and

@ . ………………………………..at period

1 & ………………………………..one ampersand

% ^ ……………………………….Percent carat

“ + ‘ ………………………………..quote and quoted

( ) …………………………………parentheses

? ~ ………………………………..question floated

$ $ …………………………………Dollar money

` — — ……………………………..accent dash dash

_ 6 ………………………………….underscore six

\ / ………………………………….front and back slash

{ } …………………………………Curly braces

; ……………………………………semi-colon

-, — ………………………………..minus, hypen

[ ……………………………………bracket open

NOTE: This was written on January 8 and held back because it was submitted to a publication. Since it was rejected, I am free to place it here. Since then, this fascinating article came into my reality:

Well…I loved this article so much! Imagine this: heat maps of punctuation turning into art!
