And that's the world in a nutshell, an appropriate receptacle.

A Receptacle
A receptacle is handed down to peace,
For the liquid consumed itself;
For a recluse, he handles peace,
And for a student his war rages on.
Reckless panicky men are like substances,
This recitation inverts the brain’s signals.
I can not hand down peace quite the same,
For our recluse inhibits the contests
As much as competitions allow.
Let him waste the receptacle now.

Poem about Poetry - Poetic ritual
when inspiration comes
the world falls into place
words strew themselves
into verses filling up
a blessed receptacle
god joins you in your
honoured quest
to help you experience the better part
of his creation
when the poem is finished
the flower is in full bloom
god throws himself at your side
to savour the essence
of the blend of spirit with you
the poetic ritual is nearly done
pray that the next full moon
he will return to you
to help put the world in order
for another round of divine union

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

Momentary slips
A woman sedated by her husband,
Like alms looking for a begging bowl,
Seeks for her a receptacle in secret,
And accept it when it strikes by chance.

Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen, atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change.

My wife, my family, my friends - they've all taught me things about love and what that emotion really means. In a nutshell, loving someone is about giving, not receiving.

Receptacle of Bliss
grey - there is a blessing
in the cloudy weather
when the sun hides itself
behind soothing colours
when cottons seem to cover
the sky in such softness,
stretching the indeterminable
distance between white and gray
at the beach, against the
heavens, your endearing
characteristic evokes an eternity
bathes me in a receptacle of euphoria
your charms, down to earth
temperament erase the temporal world
swarming bliss in a wide expanse of grey

The Tale Of Heroes
He who has seen no fangs,
has seen no python.
He who has sailed no storms,
has harbored on no ocean
He who has swallowed no dust,
has bore no great fall
He who has felt no sharp claws,
has never met a lion.
He who has not seen darkness,
has not battled temptation.
He who has not been naked
has not felt the sting of cold
The world has more than fate,
the horror of our dreams.
Life is more than pain,
the tears that tear our hopes
Sorrow has more than mourning,
despair in a nutshell.

A World Poetry Day!
Everyday is ever poetry day for poet!
World poetry day is poetry celebration
Especially for world people to honour
Poetry of all writings of the world ever!
Novels, stories and articles are in vogue
But poetry cannot be ever left as vague!
Matter of a book, a few pages of story or
An article of length Poetry says in a line!
Poetry is the essence of matters in nutshell,
A seed that grows into big tree with leaves,
Flowers and fruits to please and guide all
To live life better loving Nature and lives!
Sans the inspiration of religious philosophy
Said in echoing verses of world where is it
One can get solace and wisdom to face woes
Struggling on the ocean of life to swim or sink?
Poetry is oldest of old medium yet a modern one
Brief as telegraphic language conveying message
Beautifully, musically and echoingly as mantra
In avatars new ever using words and forms old!
World celebration of poetry day today is wonder
For poets and lovers of poetry on modern websites
Just as enjoying old wine in new bottles all over
World of human beings unique in whole Universe!

A Flower Story...
when you are inside a very tight bud
if you do not compromise with the night
the choking sepal becomes painful
the receptacle argues with the peduncle
on the matter of an overstaying stigma
nature rules and at dawn you have to bloom
on a lesser risk towards ecstatic pleasures

Oxford is Oxford: not a mere receptacle for youth, like Cambridge. Perhaps it wants its inmates to love it rather than to love one another.

Meeting Tito
meeting tito is surely an interesting event
he finds anyone interesting to include
yours truly
today he wants you, if you meet him,
at nine
when the girls are there already in the plaza
practicing the dance
of the coming celebration
(breathe, gasp)
he wants you to join the in the parade
with your bare feet
as part of the works of
the sisters of mercy
as i told you i like him but i commented though
what merciless sisters you have
and for what reason do you intend to punish others
for your beliefs?
i think, with the way he sways his hips,
i think, he is gay, but i keep my mouth shut
for as my wife says
it is always none of our business
and they have the right to be.
i think, i must agree,
the world is a circle and it is not narrow
the rivers keep flowing
and the sea has always been the most kind receptacle

Traditionally the show must go on which is a stupid thing to say, but that in a nutshell is what's going on. We have a new record out; if we won't tour, the new record dies. It's reality - it's what business is nowadays. You just need to tour to sell your albums.

Love is till marriage
Love is pronounced
when the pair is apart,
in pining of each other,
in longing for each other,
in sulking about each other,
in exchanging letters.
Literature spoke mostly this.
Wedding halts these
In a nutshell,
Love dies when pair ties.

White Paper
white paper
a girl bidding
for real love
a receptacle

Potential Poetry!
Love has no fear whatsoever in the world;
Poet does all by his love of all matters here;
Poetry is inspiring words of poet for all!
What's not possible by poetry is nothing!
Impossible is expressed in possible words
Making unknown known by poetry only!
Forms and style are poets own creations;
Poetry is ever new in expression of ideas
Inspiring all to be enthusiastic, enlightened!
Love of Nature, life, beauty and love poetry
Explores always deep to express truth new!
Poets are gods of Earth to men to new realm!
Poetry briefly converges all in a nutshell
As powerful as atomic energy in control!
