and that is what Nakedness was about for me... another  group and another 
place .. if you would like to write more of these and send  them to me 
off-list you can do that as well... I love reading them...as much as  I enjoy 
writing them.

Thanks!  I'm glad you like them.  Writing for you is such  a joy because 
the feedback is always sweet.

This was also a good way to  get stuff off my chest without flaming down 
the whole discussion group; thanks  for the inspiration.

Shawn

I was going to let  this go, but the muse demanded I  throw one more into 
the  hopper.

Spirit of  Liberty

Freedom is dear,  too precious to be shackled to the accountants  
procrustean bed
Or  carved to fit into green eye shades.
She spurns bean  counters and  scoffs at the worshippers of efficiency.
She spreads her wings  going  where she will.

Shawn... again wonderful!    The  images  in this  piece are stunning... 
now 
one more from me just  to show that even I  can  take these in an 
unexpected  
direction...  when I posted  this at a site I  belong to  many wondered who 
had 
gotten my dander  up... my honest  answer?  Myself.. this is totally   
introspective.

Nakedness

how often do we wear  the   garb
of easy compromise, the cloak of 
pretended  indifference, the   gray
shroud of willing omission,
or the  gauzy veil   masking
white-stained dishonesty...
simply  because we fear
the   nakedness that comes
when accepting  absolute truth

Since you've  like these thus far, here's one    more.

Shawn

Epiphany

Listening to Zenna's People   stories  I'm filled with wonder.
The God of light year strides   condescends to  me.
Speaking deep within where the soul's code   runs
Commanding divine  words
Don't be normal, be mine.
And  the  presence fills the  air.

I had to smile here because my son  could have  written   this yesterday.  
Not 
sure  how many times he  called saying how boring  it was  and he was  just 
looking for  something to do.  He does  security and  would  have given his 
 
eye 
teeth to be on camera   duty.  This is great..and as  you  see it can be  
about  
anything... amazing how poetic we  can get about  those things  we do  not 
think 
of as poetic...  you  said it best.. seeking, questing,   reaching..  well  
 
done!

A slow  day at the  office

Wishing I  were  busy, this respite is not   welcome,
Seeking usefulness, the  day drags  on.
Seeking,  questing,  reaching for purpose
A  reason for being, a   reason for being here  now.
But this to will  pass, and soon, I  will  seek  rest.

Thank you Shawn!  I  rather like  this  one myself..  as  I said I did  
struggle 
at first  because I  approached it in the wrong  way  but I  found what I  
wanted to  say  finally..

The other night I was  sort of  challenged  to write a  40   word poem 
about  

'laughter'.  I can't  remember who  exactly  issued   the  challenge and I 
do 

apologize for  that. I  did try.. and  to be  honest I was  almost   
stumped 
at  

first.  
But here is what I  came   up with... very  simply  said  but quite  
introspective 
if I  am  being    honest.

Laughter

I  tuck them   away,
each  giggle  and  almost
unheard chuckle,  every    belly
jiggle and each  Jello  guffaw,
every  snort  and  snicker,
and whoosh  of  plucked    tissues
to absorb  merriment's tears...
because  sometimes   what I    need
most to remember is...  laughter.
