So that was fast - we have any slow takers out there?

Time
Fast as dust in the wind
Slow as dirt in the mud

Time
Fast as my mindless daydream
Slow as ice melting in winter

Time
Fast as a problem
Slow as the solver

Zombie Breakfast

I am not fast
I can do slow
No way past
But you go
Walk real fast
Before you know
My breakfast

There was a man
who both was there
and was not there
not anywhere
both fast and slow
was how he'd go
and maybe he
did disagree
don't you agree
he shouldn't be
while nothing
is necessity
for everything
is just one thing
in myriad
when you are sad
so low, half-assed  
you couldn't care
but please beware
of any dog
that might meow
could be a cow
but in disguise
you may just spy
it in his eye
and not believe
it anyway
cause every day
is being seized
by someone else
who truly sees
the truth behind
our noble lies
but how time flies
when everything
begins ending.

My poem today...

If you are having fun, life goes so fast,
But slow when it’s dull, you’re living at half mast.
You better pray, you had a good past,
Because it’s a sure bet – the future will be harsh.

There’s nothing to change it, the big clock is set,
The countdown has started, death’s a sure bet.
My advice to you, is to slow down and chill,
You can chose to continually climb, or sit smiling, at the top of the hill.

You can run real fast, or walk real slow,
Tortoise vs the hare, only you really know.
Slow or fast, an interesting debate,
Whatever you do, at some point sit down, and contemplate.

Thanks Sandra, that one was my own developed form which I call a Patan.  

Anyway, I have a guest staying with me this weekend and I asked her what the theme should be today.  She was more than happy to give one and what she suggested for a theme was a pretty good one I thought.

Tranquility.

Tranquility
Only inner peace and me
The freedom to be all alone
Tranquility
Lying under a tree
Turned off the mobile phone

Tranquility
A moon's lonely sea
No waves to disturb the flow
Tranquility
I'll just let it be
Till noise once again is my foe

Here's one from my guest (the one who came up with the topic).  She wrote it really quick.


The faintest of heart beats
worries have taken
flight on the wings of
the birds to destinations
unbeknown to us.

What is left -
silence, calm, peace
and tranquility
in its newborn state
just as it should be.

Michael, thank your guest for the opportunity with this one!

Tranquility

I do not want tranquility
For that won't give me rest
Only through the labor comes
The baby at my breast

A thousand hard contractions
A blessed womb fulfilled
That is what I want
Before 'the go' is stilled

And like my dearest children
I wish them not great pain
But only to see obstacles
As precious works to gain

To climb a perfect mountain
To swim the perfect sea
To fail the perfect failure
And finally let it be

And when that time does finally come
I think we all might sway
And conjure up a problem
Though they had gone away

Like people long before we lived
Well maybe it was us
Thinking up a future
Making up a fuss

One man thinking numbers
One man testing planes
One man building buildings
One man loading trains

Just Imagine Lennon said
But what did he really mean?
To me it was of Echad
A peaceful loving dream

A loving dream of kindness
A loving dream beyond
And of complete acceptance
No matter what is wrong

Tranquility, tranquility
We cannot ask for more
And yet it comes and we refrain
The song of mythic lore

Of dungeons and of dragons
And dark and ugly pits
What is our fascination
Of trouble when it hits?

Tranquility it softens us
And holds our hand in grace
Lo This must be
The hand of God
This must be
His face

I guess I push Him back
When I tend to say
I do not want tranquility
But give me work this day

So if your day is tranquil
Be thankful you are blessed
But if it's not
Be thankful
In this world
You are His guest

It seems we'd all rest easy
And calmness be the way
Instead we want another test
We shout out ganbatte!

Sandra E.

Hey Sandra,

That was nicely done.  You do very well when you exercise control.

My whole household seems to be involved today.  Here's one from my partner.

Leave me alone
I’ve had my fill
Thoughts are quiet,
Mind is still
Save it for another day
Come in peace
Or go away.

And here's mine:

I hate you so much,
Out of spite
For tranquil poems
You make me write

They make me seethe
So turbulent
Tranquillity
Is abhorrent..

I ‘ll never write
Another one
I’m so relieved
This poem is done.

Wow Sandra, that was really cool

So simply an idea,
Yet complex and dark,
The ultimate state?
... Evil can easily embark.

False sense of security,
No such thing as fully there,
Tranquility is a myth,
Like all the poison in the air.

An endless quest,
Like searching for the one,
A life of unrest,
Wishful thinking for some.

Respect to those who find it,
This fairy tale for the bold,
Share your secret, tell us all the
Stories that itch to be told.

Thanks to your guest Michael for the theme and her poem. If she wants to come up with another challenging theme tomorrow that would be great!
