Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light) Poems

Once there was a ribbon
a single red ribbon
two gold rings threaded.
...

After an absence of...
four years intensely immersed;
in a foreign country
culture cuisine employment.
...

I artist
razor at throat
painted
...

Where is needed morality?
Catalysis rein reality check?
Stir emotions animate spent sentiments!
Watch feelings aroused surge reforms!
...

ridicule the teachers
gifted teachers with passion heart
society blame teachers
...

so often I heard
from those wise
in worldly ways
...

The Inuit have contested sixteen words for snow
sixteen words to define different types of snow
all necessary to define joys dangers of gift snow
in their adaptive interactive struggle to survive
...

aspirations faith hope morale seeds
are set chameleons mood weathered
upon daily small climatic changes
catastrophic sudden shifting events
...

we are born to fight cause freedom
we ride forth constantly in cause freedom
we must speak fight for all who cannot
...

life remains not the same
individuality reality cycles variant same
manifest flux growth cycles rewrites original same
