New Year Holiday Rain

Aloha poets,

     Holiday rain inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!

Drumbeating Umbrellas

In scientific boredom a light emitter messages send

Electricity extraction, photosynthetic plants bend

Headwinds wind down as this Christmas fades

Threatens to hamper new year upcoming accolades

Hospital walls show the first signs of healing

War trauma in the field finally hit the ceiling

Get into fights for a neglected family gone

Teeming to team up, now the hunt is on

The dream act is something that won't go away

Ducks hatching plans holding hatchets at bay

Early sign of healing hampers recovery's arrival

Dream act holds dear our culture survival

A droopy face in the audience is just too much

Declines continue into the spring for all to touch

Dreary diversion of excitement brings a drama

Boring triggers the thrill if a bigger trauma

Education a serious subject for scientific enquiry

Economy downward drift remains a little fiery

Enthusiastic boredom as family entertainment

Government holidays gain all entrainment

Expansion stays simple in the realm of gaming

Retail sales, exports, manufacturing for blaming

Jazz it up a little, squeeze out another foreigner

Dream Act death? America the mourner

Christmas Chiasmas

Repeated thankfulness is Christmas re-versed

A clear cool message takes no rhetoric rehearsed

Justice departments of love seek to join no lawsuit

America as a power for the good gives the true hoot

The word sword cuts to play both ways

Can have you backwards in a swing and sways

A first salvo sets out to try to remedy that

Substantial traditions exhibit accessories a fat cat

Sword is the ghost writer of words in destiny

Necessary ambiguity betokens manifest festivity

Inspiration's slinking arrival is prolific

Politics slithers to finesse the scientific

Willful indistinctness is an old crudge mudgeon

A fool's chore rides wild within its dungeon

Modern apostle is a book manifest

Destiny's pragmatism the dusty test

Policymakers, evangelists gather on the screen

Instruct for industriousness sight unseen

Distastes for the rarefied refries in beans

In selections of examples of what it all means

Indebtor inheritors collect tools to split atoms, words

Curated exhibits poise the expressive v shards

The Artless Effect brings us all back to a beginning

Christmas chiasmas seek everyone winning

Rainbow Palm

Oppression Nostalgia

Extinct era drifts off into suffering past

The point of no stops could never last

Beyond the rings of the hammer logo

Sculptor garden sings of age long ago

Reminders of suffering as transition

Off to capitalism into a new rendition

Oppression memorabilia gestures slow

A job and something to eat in the snow

Likeness of icons deemed once a hero

Glimpses socialism set back at a zero

The young look at faults of the system

Older folk look back in history wisdom

Once the state owned the factory all

Only a rummage sale now to recall

What beast enhance socialist past?

Dust gathers to auction at the last

To view the purge as an old idea

On cue the urge tethered a fear

Socialism ghost drifts as symbol

Coastal nostalgia a gift so nimble

Secret police, old brick warehouse

The light of day for a memory douse

Nostalgia for parents, saw it their way

Only now comes as burden, children play

Central planning yes, it had its heyday

Socialism coalition swooped to sway

Old dusty ghosts come out to play

Oppression nostalgia drifts away

Merger's Surge Lances Alliance

Competition extinction law goes into effect

Doctors and hospitals join collusion wreck

Allegiance to allergy as a cost-saving bonus

Stint on care now becomes new patient onus

Care organizations soon accountable to be

Writing regulations to govern new entity

Clinical cooperation be a benefit or bust?

Or new need to enforce old laws antitrust

Join forces to share old costs with saving

Earn government bonus as money raving

Joint venture alliances health care industry

Dominant health provider, insurer so busy

Future care insurer exercises market power

Hospital clinic doctor groups in ivory tower

Tight-knit organization of accountable care

Leashes competition to bark into the thin air

Fragmented systems harbor safe cooperation?

Joint ventures merge old laws chafe corporation

A future of petulant health or fraudulent billing?

Monopolizes hot, competitiveness cools chilling

Wilting Writing

Women grasp a lifeline all business workplace

Fight to ignore all but buckled without a trace

Viability a visibility as distant candle tantalize

To admit it needs a rescue only for your eyes

Losses on sour values seem just to drift off

Underdog is in talks with a bark and cough

Video makes us all veterans before our time

Sufficient firepower in smiles of the sublime

Inevitable sovereignty these women in sway

Forms of external assistance all had their say

Pivotal points engulf a nulling in voting out

Amidst regime grime, beauty wins the shout

Technology runs to lead the charge to push

Tea party with crumpets no bird in the bush

Hazards place separate, people hang shingle

The already cool step out strong and single

Counting it up from here may take a while

The science of winning starts with a smile

Wilting writing may be anything but loud

Women in politics, rights turn it up proud

Year Long Yearling

Natural competitiveness yearns to be heard

Long half life of the game separates the herd

Exceptional independent, the love to compete

Monopoly tendency lays to wait at earth's feet

Depend on a network the business way

The book of brands flash their fancy say

Incumbent meander as dictator and such

Product value rises as most love it so much

Size and convenience the name of the game?

The bigger the faster the best for all the same?

Wills to innovate is true America song yearning

Inventions compete as our own yearlong yearling

The Nervousness

On Service Learning

College is always somewhere, taking the form of nervous thoughts, of ever graduating, of coming and going, but today nervousness hinges on the idea of service learning. Sometimes the nervousness makes a little announcement about my forty-three years (as if there were some time limit on learning), then goes quietly away. There are times when it attaches itself in the form of extra credit work, my college psychology class project at the state mental rehabilitation hospital, the place I now go quietly. On this particular day, the nervousness travels the whole trip with me, actually, with me and my classmate. We go for three hours every Thursday to assist women patients who are up for being discharged; we do their makeup, hair styling--whatever-- to raise their self-esteem to a state of noticeability (yes, maybe even nobility). This is the state where my nervousness normally subsides; we do our three hours--hugs all around--and leave.

     I see the look on the security guard's face on my way out. He signals.

     I get on the phone and squeeze tight. It's Raeanne, the hospital activities coordinator. She says,“I’m sorry to ask you, but can you do a special favor for me?" 

  “Sure, I’d be happy to.” I'm feeling extra relaxed having spent time with the ladies.

     "Pat, we’re shorthanded here, and a male patient is asking to be taken to the store to buy some jeans. He’s insistent. Would you be able to take him to the Penney’s store in Sedro Woolley this afternoon?”

     "Um."   

"Sure you won’t mind?”   

"Mind? Reanne, should I?”

     “Well, we haven't had him outside the hospital, ever. I'd rather give him to you than trust him with our security."

     "Penny's store in Sedro Woolley would mean undercover officers, they would have security," I think.

"The trip into town only takes about ten minutes. Don't you 
believe we should let him do some things on his own?"

"Oh, I'm sure there are many things he can do on his own. It's 
only, well it's a little late in the day, and my home in Oak Harbor 
drifts further as the sun sinks. My husband will be home by four, 
yes, I think he said four."

  “Well, we want our patients here to do things on their own, and it'll only take ten minutes, and, well I can't thank you enough.”

     “Yes, the ten minutes that will take an hour," I think. This taxi cab will get him to town and plunk him safely back in the hospital in a matter of minutes, another satisfied customer from J.C. Penny. He won’t even know what hit him. Am I missing something here? Yes, I will come to my senses and do this for her.

     “Great, I knew I had the right person,” Reanne says, "I'm so relieved."

Zero Luck


Code over-valued is a spending growth leader
Simply add a value to be a customer bleeder
Brainwashers like talking of only one thing
Ideologists add tongue twisters just for bling


A chance to be a hero if you go by the book
Meeting for muffins gets you a certain look
Chilean miners who jump out into the light
Say of minders, "We're no halloween fright"


Things that matter are always still right here
Chance to be a hero is no chance for a beer
Literature ponders history's fancy showing
Music and mystery keeps a heart glowing


Support an ideology with a ring of a bell
Keep a constant cool to maintain clientele
Babies, puppies, plucky children and kids
Strongly veiled virginal look offers its bids


Teasing is inappropriate when you're all in
Serious look is better than a tonic or a gin
A detonation mechanism or a happy duck?
Smiles on your face always trump zero luck

Collaboration Collarbone


Vast majority of America wants a response
Downsized government upon a time once
Races tighten to slow against the spread
Key constituencies want what's said


To know right away who you are
Brett farve favors being the star
Little voices just do come out
Congress scream and shout


Apparent desire votes in
Sharp internal debate
Trade or education
Needs not spin


Signals clear
Waits some
For a final 
Outcome!

Story the Jewel


Shadow fears itself into its own miracle
Story tears you off shelf down to spiritual
To live in your own fire is sizzle of love
Clear and free swings to rise above


Ruminations eclectic's no erudite poem
Write what you like, won't leave you alone
Share a reader's consciousness digressive
Campaign childfree the artful suggestive


Hands of the breeze guide so gentle
Smoking gardens steam so mental
Event's consequence, moments unfold
Story is detail, so I'm told


Speed and spectacle, vivid is now
Emotionally involved, writer's cash cow
To summarize story is talking to the wind
Events in reality, want you to join in


Pulse of narrative is where action begins
To want something beyond a tonic and gin
Condensed scene is where action is eating
Readers yearns for front row seating


Reader loves memory, where images live
A slice of love, crystal walls writers give
Some call it entertainment in diversity vest
You only know you gave story your best

A Future Transient Technique


Journeys extend into discovery's search of golden ages
Transit method waits for stars to slightly dim the pages
Something out there waits in ninety five megapixel winds
First of the new earth to emit carbon power heat shield bins


Ions super heat to interact with electron density solar clouds
Microwave variable plasma accelerates magneto shrouds
This they say is how we will travel away from earth
Turbo charge microwave oven technology's birth


Explore the flow of solar energy's architectural structure
Using proxy probes, charged particles, picture rupture
Critical clues circle earth each other on comet entry
Star wobble red-blue shift infra-red photo gentry


Solar corona mass ejections compounds on Saturn moon
Optical remote solar instrument space probes come soon
Infra red photo directs a laser into passing comet tails
Finds glycine amino acids on frozen hydrogen rails


Tiny molecules in the atmosphere used as ion engine
Xenon electrical field propel spaceships' new legend
Helio-seismic electric magnetic imager sees inside sun
Explores with flow of solar energy's remote sensor gun

Begrudgingly Bankrupt Giggles


Distant dust settles hazy old rivalries
Early globalizers utilized bold cavalries
Market push-ups rely on shrewd junctures
Longevity of tradition bad publicity punctures


By notables to be favored is a skill
Commodities penciled in for the kill
Corporate lineage tries not to interrupt
Proprietary byproducts of profit stir up


To fete anniversaries in a business is to polish
Uproot to reveal then take sides to demolish
So goes the business cycle amidst storm
Earlier antecedent ideas keep warm


Craftsmen trace lineage's competition
Company signature written on petition
Ongoing secrets in generation of tradition
Escape a system to secure a better condition


The first industrial surely may lay claim
Be the best accept over time the blame
Quality goes to market hopefully high
Court battle rage to blame the other guy


Who lays claim to such acrimonious past?
Did anyone think your product would last?
What about your hazy registry of a trademark
In jest you say your gadget will be the hallmark


Another anniversary of your business life
So proud you stand and such an active knife
Held your ground through warps and wiggles
Success begrudgingly befriends bankrupt giggles

Camel Flag Camouflage


Amongst the shadows beyond its working reality
Emerges key thresholds once sunk below a sea
Uninhabitable islands embolden opposition
Last words of a rift a drifty disposition


Celebrate a holiday in a tumultuous year
Position your territory in new issues of fear
Heavy search sea lanes with so sign of easing
Targets goods outbound with no let up to teasing


Upend a campaign with rancor and power
Enrage a friend with wrinkles that sour
Move fresh a vessel in a water dispute
Future fight for real estate not so cute


Levy a property stand strong behind
Actions of confidence led by the blind
Import war rages to economic depression
Private sector hopeful cool heads in session


Uninhabited islands enter the insolvency brink
Brace for a counterattack watch shorelines blink
The fruit of the civilized is search and destroy
Heightened inspections of camouflaged toy

Reign Reignite


Systems in the shadows wait and yearn
As the flawed and old crumble to burn
Credibility counts as a vital to success
Ideology crosses continents in excess


Contentious dealings an achievement
Parts far-flung a world's bereavement
Union flaws may endure preservation
Tunes with claws not sure of the nation


Can system success rely on an ideology?
As elegant rooms remain in a messy orgy 
Central authority balances and then it checks
Spending beyond means have their own wrecks


Estates and winery may simply dump its debt
No one in charge asks, "Are we there yet?"
Grab a hand and put some energy into it
Banks buy debt to help out bit by bit


Will stomachs churn for want of much more?
Slides petrify and still knock at the door
To start then restart is a system failure?
Printing money to avoid the jailer


Borrow excessive beyond means
Is a life speculated as kings and queens
Privatization shuns and government buys
To appease the masses with their fears and eyes


Fear of default pushes bond yields wayup
Credibility hard won runs like a pup
Political pressures sway and bow
Central banks moo a cash cow

Primordial Pattern

9

Aloha poets,

     Patterns of primordial forest inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!

Avalanche Available

Women with their empathy trump all of that bloodless sanity

Rationality all to good for its very own passionate vanity

New markers spawn a bloodletting of feelings and sorts

Expectations and elections take it finally in the shorts

Genes have had their input even in cellulosic bays

Imparting passion and wisdom along the ways?

Chaos with its cohorts needs a little coherence

Concepts in abstract practical disappearance

Approach tower of ivory in worry and fear

Go a little gaga to gain respect and a cheer

Shake off an attitude gain an ally in spirit

Business conventions ready to all hear it

Tone digital unsuspicious, colorblind

Celebrated irrational, a coded find

Never impatient for a reality new

Happy embraceable fantasy hue

Connections and tags inside end

Inspires with passion, calls a friend

To summon passion with elements able

Puts policy and rules of objects on the table

Becomes a true winner and stays not far from home

After networks and connections find wide worlds roam

Genetics with algorithm becomes the cool thing like bling

Avalanche available for myth and passion to finally bring

Sun Shadow Splash

Aloha poets,

Buy at a Sale to Sell to a Buyer


Can the business of banking be an emerging market?
Location, location, was once how they sparked it
Global regulation may step on a few toes
Retail networks now here, so it goes


Bilateral damage sticks inside chains of transactions
Pay rates on deposits go to customers in fractions
Charge a rate on loans at any discretionary writing
Golden Age of Observation now waits for infighting


Gains on investments in local lenders
Overseas offers border defenders
Explosion of offerings in local regions
Holds down a globe like vocal religion


Narrow net-interest margins a man thing?
Pace of expansion for new networks clang
Race of approval to license media
In case technology comes to need ya'


Public disclosure there on your screen
In search of action to make the world scream
The worst of a crisis surely succeeds
Published rules emerge after business bleeds


Data center reuse as a trade repository
A change of behavior now tells the whole story
To prevent a default shines a light not used to it
Center counterparties sell to buy, again, they do it


To build for the long term with branch networks small
Place yourself in between that and then play ball
Create a collapse and a sheer panic to boot
Recognize exposure to the big boys, then give a hoot


Transactions never settle if they're stuck in bilateral
Foreign-formed institutions get damaged with collateral
Build for the long term, stereotyping? set it small
Act as a buyer at a sale, turnaround, sell to all
