Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:
My art is not limited to the songs I create but also to the reaction it creates. I like to sit back and look at the whole thing as if it’s a tornado that I’m controlling. It’s creating chaos. When you create chaos, ideas are turned upside down, and everybody looks at things in a different way.
~Marilyn Manson

Chaos in the world brings uneasiness, but it also allows the opportunity for creativity and growth.
~Tom Barrett

Beethoven’s music tends to move from chaos to order, as if order were an imperative of human existence.
~Daniel Barenboim

EndQuote:
We adore chaos because we love to produce order.
~M C Escher

True Romance: Three Times Goodbye

Yesterday, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died.
She simply said, “I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.”

~

Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds later, I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.

~

Today, after I watched my dog get hit by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. Just before he died, he licked the tears off my face.

Nativity

Family pooch and the parrot stare
Bristling hope at the sight they share
Birth of a promise, history unfurled
A cat-sized bundle to capsize a world

Mister N. Tipathy
Loved Sara N. Dipity
Missed her clever levity
Wanted costume brevity
Let Ms Zipity do da dance

Preach It

Go fetch Daddy’s bristle brush
Good for beating bad-kid tush
Tho a belt might do as well
T’would capsize faith and lead to hell

Com·pat·riot

American Ego was an Eagle once
From intrepid to insipid histrionics
Capsized truth and fat-sized greed
Merged to fill an Ego’s need
Economic muscle and technical gristle
Yet borders bristle with pylon missiles
The peace between sown with thistles
Volcanoes erupt just like this’ll

lightning bristled skies
ocean swells threaten capsize
rains to drown a fish

bristle with caution
timid treatment of treason
capsized a nation

Had a recent trim?
A bris’ll change your cap size
