Ph on PH
I would like to take the Ph on PH
To scientifically verify the acidity

My Poems.
Most of my me time is taken up by poetry
An observer sees me typing on my cellphone

Sunday Blues
Sunday the fifth of December twenty twenty one.
I was in one of those meditative moods
...
When i was young my dad was very strict
He didn't want me to be a thug in the street
My father taught me the importance of time keeping
The bad side of lying to get out of situations by fiddling
...
True Love (in Faraday Cage)
True love gives you wings to fly away
To the land of ecstasy far faraway

Ode to poetess Paida Mudzamba
I feel renewed on this planetto find out that i am not wierd after all. I have written a lot of poems for some time now. I would write and write and no one would be interested in reading them. Then i was told about PH.

Where I Live
I live in a beautiful country
A country of interesting places
...
The silence in the noise
What would you rather have?
Pretentions just to behave?
...
A poet
I would rather be the ocean than a river.
A river though a prolific life giver

Poetry Review
Today i got rave reviews for my poetry
Sadana Williams said, applauding:
...
Sometimes you go away
Don't know where to
I ask you have nothing to say
But, i know the truth
...
The fire tender tends to tend a fire in a tender way
To avoid the tendency of the fire to ignite tinder in the tinderbox
Even the sun has a tendency of outshining all that which shines bright, the moon paling to subservient insignificance
...
It is good that things change sometimes for the bad
I am happy at the change though it may be sad
The stillness of life would cause a boredom movement
The constant change remains our only hope for improvement
...
LoVe Me!
Yesterday i met the spirit of ubuntu
The ancient spirit making me black

I am a retired Electrical Engineer, now a farmer and a poet. I have never been to poetry school and have learnt a lot here on PH. I have been writing poetry since about 2001, and I am so far gone there is nothing else I would rather do except to write poetry. But life happens and life is for the living.)
Ph On Ph
Ph on PH
I would like to take the Ph on PH
To scientifically verify the acidity
Poetically clarify some validity
See how some poems fit the bill
Measure the writer's literary skill
Clint Eastwood said it very well
"There are two kinds of people my friend"
Those with a loaded gun and those who dig"
So even poets there many types i m afraid
Some write small, some write well and big
Some commit a crime don't rhyme
Others commit a sin their verse you can't sing
Scientifically their Ph on PH is zero
Poetically their status quo is hero
Some write politically sensitive issues
Some phoenetically make us use tissues
Their poems so moving you sob embarrased
Your life experiences making you feel harassed
Some are wrapt in getting the structure right
But the poem is vague just a nonsense write
Some poems are like movies so vivid
Clear in detail like ice when it's liquid
Knowing the forms if poetry very well
Is well and good and this we can really tell
But what is it you want say, say it well
So that your story someone else i can tell
Master Bruce Lee of the Jeet Kune Do fame
Said it well in his Game of Death game
Said, if you have become adept and proficient
Throw away all you learned, be efficient
I could go on and on and on and on and on...and on and on
But, there is a ring ring ring i think its my phone
I ask, what kind of poet are you, your Ph?
Who am i, though, just an upstart here on PH.
It does not matter what you believe, what you do is what matters.
We went to war to free ourselves so that we can be free to oppress ourselves
Try try try again, but expect disappointment and you won't be disappointed.
When a poet writes the truth a poem writes itself.
Freedom fighter, remember freedom cannot be maintained by force of arms.
A father is a rock upon whom a mother builds a home And the children seek shelter in difficult times which come
Really Loud. Pound for pound there is a way you can hound a poem without a sound, making the poem go round and round, wound around until it runs aground. I have found no matter how proud or loud you are allowed to write to the 'Cloud' you will never be allowed a place in the crowd. The death of poetry really loud.
