Ismael Nery (circa 1931) - 'Eternidade' courtesy dVerse Poetry Pub

Eternidade: The Fold
Gotta focus, spot on,
Every corner ever shadow,
Is drawn, to the dream-tron,
Into the spectacle
That is eternity, spot on;
Where is the nuturing heart?
Will it recover the forlorn?
The disillusioned?
The desire to belong?
To something greater than self,
Just gotta focus, spot on.

[painting of Emil Nolde courtesy dVerse poetry pub]
Every Reason - A fold
Where is there equality in our world?
All's unfair every reason to discontent,
The dainty yellows now unfurled,
Think they are fairest of them all,
Where is there equality in our world?
Broad intoxicating reds, oh so
Gaudy, floral vixens unreserved,
The purples claim to be royal,
Though no septre will be  twirled,
Yet side by side the're put together,
Where is there equality in our world?

 Blue Mood : A Fold Poem

When she left him, sadness reigned

Supreme, in every aspect of his being;

It's hard to say why, everytime it rained

He picked up his guitar, but never shed a tear;

Still, when she left him, sadness reigned;

Music can stir the soul in every way,

In every emotional state named,

Yet he choose the rain, to strum

Away those feelings, that to him pained

A heavy heart, heavier than a paint brush,

Truely when she left him, sadness reigned

Yet Another

The sounds of last year fights

The eve of New Year;

Booming noises, sparkling lights,

Questions arise,

As sounds of last year fights:

With our hope  spirits,

Will it be better even if in slight?

Pondering is always the mood;

As this margin in time so slight,

Becomes the reality of yet another,

For sounds of last year fights.

Dragon Fold
He ravaged far villages, he was so mean,
People lost patience and mind.
What can we do they wailed on scene
This really cannot go on
Drought must be stopped. he was so mean,
He must be stopped, and stopped now.
A tiny boy they had treated as unseen
Raised his voice to highest decibels
We must go to Dragon at Mountain Kleen
Exacerbated they all agreed because
Drought, Drought was the demon, he was so mean.

 Spewing puppies?

Treking through the paths at The Wildfowl Trust. Rocky's is anxious to get to the  paperbark tree, to hug the tree, since some of his friends had told him, how soft as velvet the tree trunk was.

Suddenly his mother asks, "where is Rocky?"  Rocky she shouts and Rocky suddenly appears, like out of nowhere.

His mother hugs him and looks at his face for scratches or cuts then spins him around. "Are you okay Rocky?" We thought you might be abducted by aliens, when we didn't see you.

They reach the pavilion and stop to have some refreshments. Rocky says he is not hungry. But after mom's persistent nagging, tries to eat a sandwich.

He retches violently and out of his stomach spews a fluffly little puppy.

"What's happening!" everyone exclaims. "That is not our Rocky". Mom cries out and raises her arms upward in anguish.

Harvest Fold
Penny for thoughts? mine's worth more,
Why begrudge with such tiny offering,
As done in yon ancient yore,
Darnel  and wheat  a harvest to gather,
Of toil and endurance mine's worth more,
Life we know from struggle and reward,
Sets to slumber and to snore,
When  the harvest moon alights every sky,
With dreams and legends and fervent lore,
Dreamer and doctor fisher and farmer 
Field a plenty, mine's worth more.

Dream Rescue  - A Fold
Inbreath, what a handsome angel,

He flew into my plight, bringing

Just the right solution, the right gel,

Sweetening a tired night's dream;

I leave behind, a handsome angel,

Colours so intense are stressful,

One can fall into a pond pel mel,

Like the little adventurous Alice girl,

It's child play like Farmer In The Del;

O fantasy! whose reality are you

To craft such a handsome angel?

 Wise And Wanton: a Fold

Lets bridge the ocean with rays,

Curved as reflections of the rain;

Lets write a fairy tale in the ways

Seekers hope for more treasure,

Then span ripples of ocean with rays;

Timely and memorable like history,

Colourful and garish like those days

When everything goes haywire;

And only words spoken can phrase,

Intentions for solutions to end mayhem;

Then connect across ocean with rays
