“You shall put all of the males to the sword. You may, however, take as your booty the women, the children and the livestock, and everything in the town – all of its spoil – and enjoy the use of the spoil of your enemy which the Lord gives unto you.” — Deuteronomy 20:13

“The Messenger said, ‘If the disbelievers do not accept Islam, kill them, loot them and rape their women.’ And thus, advance Islam and strengthen Islam.” — Al-Bukhaari, Vol. 4, Book 54, Hadith 464

Don’t think this qualifies as short poem or haiku about Silence hahah

Now this is the tale of our convictaway,

She's here for a long, long time,

She'll have to make the best of things,

It's for a long, long time.

-

The first inmate and this pimper too,

Will do their very best,

To make the others comfortable,

In their federal prison nest.

No phone, no flights, no motor car,

Not a single luxury,

Like Bill Cosby,

It's primitive as can be.

-

So join us here each week my friend,

You're sure to never smile,

For the one sentenced convictaway,

Here from "Epstein's Isle."

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,

A tale of a fateful trip

That started at this New York airport

Aboard this tiny jet.

-

Gates was a mighty molesting man,

A gimper sick and queer.

Five pederasts took flight that day

For a three hour screw, a three hour screw.

-

The pedos started getting rough,

The tiny kid was tossed,

If not for the courage of the Disney crew

The Lolita would be lost, the Lolita would be lost.

-

The jet touched down on the shore of this secret tropic isle

With Jeffrey And Brunel too,

The Microsoft billionaire and his wife,

The movie stars

Paul Pelosi and Ghislai-anne

Here on Epstein's Isle.

There is a hush

All is quiet

Midday in the hot sun

Not a bird call

Not a dog barking

Just silence bathing in the golden light.

Really put me in the moment, I instantly remembered a moment just like that one

What a great haiku! I tend to write long... so this is short for me...

If you listen closely

Your heart beats a warning

A strum of caution

A drum of vigilance

Slow down -

Take a breath of circumspection

For in those half-beats

Within the vacancies

Between your ribs

Embedded in the silence

Lies the rhythm

To an all-knowing heart.

And tried to turn into a haiku!

Heart pounds a warning

Listen to the whispers, the

Silence in half-beats

Both amazing, made me think of two things. First, since I practice Wim Hof method, was the time of slowing down the heart and calming the mind amidst anxiety. Second, a samurai sitting in the tall grass, slowing down his heart, waiting.

Silence is the Void

That contains the birth of stars

Null Set of the All

Buda and I were hanging out one day on the lawn swing when they Cooper's hawk swooped in and landed on a branch right over our heads. We looked up at it and it looked down at us. It was an awesome experience. He stayed there for a good minute or so before taking off again. Whatever possessed him to do that, I don't know. Anyway, it was such an incredible experience, I wrote a poem about it.

That really is amazing, observing nature often leads to seeing some fantastic things!

Thank you for following me. The plastic bottle filled with urine is huge. Is Cliff a villain, a good guy, or a bad guy? I didn't understand.

Expand full comment

It’s a metaphor about assumptions, people assumed different bad things about where the bottle came from, but in reality it was a poor dying man

I know I am late, but I am leaving one anyway. I was watching a video on aboriginal art not too long ago, so I was inspired thusly:

Aboriginal.

Circles with dots in paintings.

Those dots are their souls.

Nice! Always love reading new ones, never late!

So unique, really puts a scene of me laying close to an open window with nature sounds outside, and a fireplace near by barely lit.

If you're quiet, you can hear your marshmallow melting into your hot cocoa.

Eagle watches prey

in silence until it lifts

talons out screaming.

Great creation of imagery, it’s like the eagle I took photos off.
