Cool Green

Aloha,

                      This photo shows a cool area near Waikiki Beach. This area can also be calm, serene, placid, composed, moderate, or temperate. Writers use words according to their style.

Let's think about style as we write today.             Enjoy!

Genre:  Blues Rock

                  Lay Some Rail

So flawless and faceless you've got game

Another heart implodes who can you blame

To a port of call you set your sail

Never one thought of laying some rail

The right time rolls and then you go

Even no wind can.t keep you slow

Into any breeze with no flaunt or flail

Never a thought of laying some rail

Just a gesture of hope you get the point

Come back home and help build this joint

Pick up a hammer then a nail

Do your part.. start to lay some rail

Rainbow Forest

Aloha,

                  The photo was taken at a beach hotel in Waikiki. This quiet parrot is a macaw whose dynamic color engages us in a visual way.

                  Great writing is "dynamic" when it engages our feelings, hearing, intuition, smell, intelligence, taste, and touch. Let's consider this idea as we write today.             Enjoy!

Genre:  Jazz Pop

              How's It Going Over There?

How's it going over there you who are so far away

I guess things are OK or so you say

How's it going over there in your wild and blue 

Have you finally gotten with it or has it gotten you?

Does anyone ever fake a dream

Stand in line for the next to scream?

Honor one who's not quite where it's at

Can we really do that?

How's it going over there you so tested by time

Still tasting the wine dally sublime

In your brain a little home on the range

Take life's lavish ride all apologies aside

It's fair to say love will come your way

Once you define it the heart of gold

Only you can mine it then be sold 

Find someone who cares only then and there

Is it fair to ask "Hows it going over there?"

 

Genre : Blues Rock

            There Being a Next Time

I'll play it pretty then I'll play it again

Bring in the beast to visit all my friends

Show my hand then let out a breath

I'll play it pretty you do the rest

Shake this joint with rattle and rhyme

Meet up again somewhere down the line

Local folk follow me in a great big line

I'm getting myself used to there being a next time

Recovery discovery get me off the shelf

I'm going to be a good friend to myself

Try to play it pretty try to make it shine

Get myself used to there being a next time

Green Delegate

Aloha,

                   This afternoon photo near Waikiki depicts a "character." Great writers add sound, motion, and color to reveal relationships between their characters that "show" the story. Let's write with that in mind today.

      Enjoy!

Genre:  ePlanet Poetry

                

  Far From Enough

Hold it against me be so bold

Fence with me out into the cold

Launder the green don't do that scene

Hear these blues a little news

Keep trying love don't quit the pain

Know what they say about getting no gain

 If ever life gets a little more strange

We've got far from enough to support the change

Separately surviving to plant the seed

New notices arriving is all we need 

Sweet warning sounds with ears to the ground

Lay the odds what will be found

Informationally storm

Architect the next fashionable form

Get up now find your range

We've gotten far from enough to support the change

              Little Hoax Device

Such a fashion statement I see you wear

Who will ever let you inside here?

Pardon me there but that's not nice

Your little artistic statement hoax device

Someone you must be trying to impress

You say it's yourself you want to express

Somebody's claim you're mounting an attack

One thing's to blame, it's humor you lack

It's true I never meant that thing to discharge

Judge won't you please dismiss my charge

Does't anybody get my little jokes

This little device is only a hoax

There's really no reason for all this alarm

It's just a little battery I got from the farm

Matters little to me why should it you

Who am I really what could I do?

Really I'm no deadly body of work

Just a walking fuse and my little quirk

Please officer won't you please be amused

As I stand here so rigidly accused

I'm so sorry my heart sweats and toils

As probationary blood simmers and boils

Once surrounded by a squad of vice

Me and my little hoax device

                              

Natural Style

Aloha,

                     Here is another morning photo of a flower near the beach. The stark diversity in color stimulates our vision. Great writers cause their readers to "feel something" by using specific detail. How a writer does this is style. Let's write with this in mind today.

          Enjoy!

Genre: Environmental Poetry

                    Ocean Ordeal

Batter the surf fight wind and wave

One more life left out there to save 

As the sea rises above and beyond

Listening in the distance a faint swan song

Go out where the deep waters flow

Swim with dolphins watch the whales blow

See the sea turtles then a sea seal

If the sea survives its ocean ordeal

Get a little deeper in over your head

Vacate the comfort zone go out instead

The tropics will grant your favorite wish

See exotic swims of the last little fish

Objects of desires are good little deeds

Rip at the heart of invasive weeds

Endangered species will be freed by you

Capture the ocean then turn it back blue 

Make a splash catch a wave 

Go out and find something to save

Tender togetherness will have its greatest appeal

When the sea survives its ocean ordeal

Genre:  Blues Rock

                Hard Cold Truth

Not a place known for its scenic view

A revolving door with the devoted few

Inspiration arrives and aspiration goes out

So many tears leaves so little doubt

Everybody knows they're packing the juice

When a little soft lie brings the hard cold truth

Little soft lies have a life of their own

Painted in a world and blemished to the bone

Somebody nudge me away from the darkness

Far far away from this little Loch Ness

Wise me up far beyond my youth

Little soft lie bring the hard cold truth

A little soft lie is never easy to see

But they pack a punch eventually

You can bet your heart it'll be on time

That hard cold truth coming down the line

Hard cold truth you wait and see

Hard cold truth eventually

Hard cold truth be on time

Little soft lie bring it down the line

                    

Earth Lodge

Aloha,

                   This is a photo of a cool area in Waikiki. This can be a safe harbor to relax for a moment, read, or write in your journal. In a story this is a setting. Writers describe a character by actions in a setting. Let's reflect on this idea as we write today.

                                     Enjoy!

Genre:  eYourWorld Poetry

                   Soften the Song

Lets all do something let's all see

Surely things will come around eventually

Some will say don't try, it's no use

Society's shock and awe is drug abuse

Try to give a little, chill just a trifle

Put down the argumentative rifle

Can't we just sing and be strong

And try a little harder to soften the song

How do you measure a treasure

The pleasure found in your company

And still the cost of pain rises

With its disguises and little surprises

Can't we find our way can it be so wrong 

To try a little harder to soften the song

Turn the page on the rage and confusion

Before the advent of a final conclusion

It seems so simple, imagine the world as one

To each other belong, vie to be fond and 

Try a little harder to soften the song

Genre:  eDesign Poetry

                      Comes a Song

Look to the sky with a little concentration

Notice a new distant constellation

Alleviate that habitual consternation

Abbreviate your lack of consideration

Relax create get out what's stuffed inside you

Get to it man stop holding your pride's view

You're no teddy you're human and ready 

Don't turn a blind eye your song holds you steady

Out of your head that's what you say

Out of your bed wit's end's well on it's way

See it now it won't be long

When out of you comes a song

You say you're along just for the ride

Watch a little T.V. let a few plans slide

That's your way of saying bye bye to yourself

Get up and get that song off the shelf

Natural Intent

Aloha,

                 This photo was shot a few feet from the ocean in Waikiki. Here is a good example of structure. The crane is building a structure according to the vision of architects. We usually don't view the world through nature's eyes, but the way we want to structure it.

                 Writers structure their world through "storytelling." Let's ponder this idea as we write today. 

          Enjoy!

Genre:  eFuture Poetry

                   Purity of Quest

Surprise a friend then overwhelm

With aspirations to higher realm

What it means others take in jest

This serious business your purity of quest

In your mind you stand nth degree

One who says please thank you pardon me

Clarity in life paints a future that's best

One of principle purity of quest

Up ahead bright shiny city on a hill

Opportunities approach no time to stand still

Fax in your future be the all the best

One of principle purity of quest

Genre:  eSweetHeart Poetry

                    Commitment

It's not so hard to find a side gal or guy

A cool look there in the eyes

Take first steps, quick off the ball

Sincerely summoned commitment call

Good with hands but delivers no blow

Recognizable face easy to know

Hasten to you with a chomp at the bit

Accelerate through then orally commit

A little selfish in a good kind of way

A work of art shown up every day

Run fast to restrict demeaning skit

Gentle to your face orally commit

Turn down offers of another's love

No fear of any below or above

Lights up easy likes to get lit

That special someone orally commit

Design Cool

Aloha,

                   Although this photo says "New York," it is actually shot a short distance from Waikiki Beach. This simple idea reveals meaning and creates emotion. 

                   Writers express the natural order of life experienced by their characters. In fiction, this is an imposed scheme and is known as plot. Let's write thinking about this idea today.               Enjoy!

                   Shark Diver

Ask me now why they do it and how

The answer comes quick a simple slip

Into the deep with a promise to keep

Ocean chills simple thrills force of will 

As deep you go the ocean knows your guise

Kills the fun kill it before it multiplies

Soon staring eyes make them realize

It is they who are sized for the next surprise 

It's true some imbue the folly ends somehow

But not here not now this vacation must endo

A taste for the stew goes the chum for slaughter

Hope from deep blue comes up to muddy water

Long since smitten and never bitten

It's only a lark some friendly shark

Back on the coast friends raise a toast to a 50 mile boast

The talk of the town never hears the sound silently drown

Into the deep leaves nary a peep

As the ocean holds her promise to keep

Trade wind blows whisper vocation chose 

Shark diver forever sleep

              Condition of Anonymity

I'll go out and land the biggest prize

Stake my ground to sweepstakes in your eyes

Unhappy players won't have a prayer

My biggest move is about to happen here

We'll make the grade we'll have a parade

They say it won't last but we'll make the biggest splash

And with arms like these a reported guarantee

Of course I'm speaking only on condition of anonymity

You might think that this deal is a lot 

But I already know the player is hot

I'll defend my decision even on bended knee

Speaking only on condition of anonymity

I've been tied for the lead in number of gaffs 

But my availability is not a matter of laughs

People will say that remains to be seen 

They say we'll finish last we're so green 

When I'm with you I'm no loser it's true

You seal the deal you know what to do

An unbeaten run next to none is ours you'll see

Of course I'm only speaking on condition of anonymity

   

Beach Blue

Aloha,

     Here is a morning photo on a beach near Waikiki known as Magic Island. Sunlight reflecting environmental blue is oxygen. Sunlight reflecting environmental green is living chlorophyll. Blue and green together signifies LIFE. 

     Writers can add their own "life" to a story by reporting details that matter. Let's write with that in mind today!                          Enjoy!

 Metallic Grin

It had to come to this

Sooner later finding bliss

World's latest craze starts here

Fashion statement dental gear

Authority clamps fateful trends

Vanity makes no amends

Beautiful face machine tool chin

Smile perfect metallic grin

Color coded coordinate mood

Rubber banded never glued 

Fashion finessed Ortho brace

Matching tan you're in the race

Risky business yet still they cheer

Bring it home pseudo dental gear

Optimal smile for that little miss

Metallic grin sealed with a kiss

   My Favorite Hangover 

Some go to parties wherever winds blow

Drink and dance to make the show

Those die hards never quit when they're through

My favorite hangover is always you

All night celebration needs no berth

Enthusiastical party animal hearth

Partaking freely their beloved brew

But my favorite hangover is always you

I found my saloon through the laughter

And all those revelers hanging from the rafter

You're my trail boss I'll be your rover

You'll always be my favorite hangover

I'm the master of my destiny

Destiny's child has never bested me

I never get high I never do

My favorite hangover is always you

Ecology

Aloha,

                 Here are three waves shot on Oahu's North Shore, each with their own "personality." These waves are "shaking up" the water in their own expressive way. Great writers also do this. They change and alter data, exaggerate information, and distort facts to create truth that captures the imagination of their readers. That sounds like a lot, but consider the three waves. 

They travelled all the way from Siberia!              Enjoy!

Give Eon High Fives

Laying out empty ride's a little bumpy

More than slightly rough and never so tough

So pleasant the arrival her hand at survival

Though never in for glory tears tell the story

Evergreen through the seasons, she with her reasons

So good to be alive give Eon high fives

Now under the hush of the mud and the mush

She's felled along the way whoever will pay

Still the sun comes up to fill her cup

All she will say, is "Hey what's up?"

We tilled our need made her bleed

Still never will she ever give her love up

Now here she stands at the edge of man

With only a sigh warming disbelief

As the Guns of Gory make a run for glory

Only tears tell the story

Forces of Nature

Aloha,

                 Here is a wave shot on Oahu's exciting North Shore. We don't actually "see" the force of gravity, but we can see the effects of the "forces at play" in the wave, its white water, and ocean spray. Writers can add more stirring force to their fiction with the "push and pull"of intriguing dialogue. Let's write with that in mind today.             Enjoy!

Genre: eWorld Poetry

 My Heart is Your Ocean

Hands of love reach out to me

At times so very hard to see

Down the path sultry moon

Beams on the water sunny soon

My heart is your ocean by night and by day

Cool waters run deep under life's fray

 Simple words go got game come away 

My heart is your ocean field of play

Sites of my life sprawls of highway 

Dangerous turn below hazardous bay

Negotiate slow thoughtful with care

My heart is your ocean you can go there

 

 So many smiles this sweet life to roam 

So many miles then finally home

Soft bay into view with its final dare

My heart is your ocean I'll see you there
