DEMOCRACY IN ACTION
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

HI BERTHOLD ~ Sounds like life in ARIZONA ! A great idea though ! Despite being controlled by genetics some parents and their "natural" children are very very unsuited ! In the UK we have stores where you can take your "nearly new" clothes and swap them with others ! Like a mutual "Thrift Store". This would be a great idea for Parents to take there "unwanted kids" and swap them ! Perhaps that is what MARRIAGE actually is (think about it !) Yours BRIAN

ROBOT-2
lysistrata said:

Berty,
How HOT is in Tuscon?
Here is the deal: Either you sing
"I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 miles more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door"

or you could come to Las Palmas to meet Tony and listen 12 hs of music(only).

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks BERTHOLD ~ Love ~ SF ~ Robots and fantasy poems. Love the idea of CONCAVE & CONVEX for comparability and love ! It suggests a whole new version of Karma Sutra based on the mathematics of 3D symmetry and solid geometry and left and right hand threads ! Yours BRIAN

SPERM RACE
lysistrata said:

Let it go, let it go...πŸ‘£
Let it free your body...
Let it move your soul....
What I love πŸ’žabout you,my friend,is that you are NOT Conventional...😜

VENGEANCE
lysistrata said:

I appreciate your forgiveness.
What do you think of compassion as an interchangeable agreement ?
Except you want me to send you one of the 3 desserts (including home made ice cream) that I made for this Sunday lunch.
I have to feed 9 people,Bert. Wish me GOOD LUCK?!πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

ROBOT-1
lysistrata said:

You mean your 1st experiment? We ALL enjoyed it.πŸ‘©πŸ‘Ά
I might try something in the future,even though a guy who writes short stories & poetry for kids has inspired me with another future device...I might tell you in private.πŸ“©

SHIVA

"Death is a fisherman, the world we see
His fish-pond is, and we the fishes be....."

Don't worry I am not going to a pond!!πŸ˜‰πŸ˜€

SLEEP
Obadiah Grey said:

You're going to have to go some to beat me, both in sleep, and death.

I liked your piece, it employes brevity with great effect.

THE SADDEST MOMENT
lysistrata said:

My friend,

The following is a quick one,inspired by your poem and my cooking( I have some friends coming over for the football match - Yes,I do watch FootballπŸ†)

In the cellar of your Life
Surrounded by wheel nuts and engine oil
Make room for some thirsty poems
About mournful hearts and our mortal coil.

Based on the info that I have for you. I hope you like it...
You do like it.😯😁

ICE CUBES
lysistrata said:

Dearest,

Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is.
Don't talk to me about puddles or E.or the combination of these 2 together!!πŸ˜―πŸ˜•
I loved your structure...I am learning...
Off tomorrow to watch one of my favourite operas:"AIDA" by G.Verdi.
Take care in the meantime....πŸ’œ

GRADUATE SCHOOL
lysistrata said:

Never let your schooling get in the way of your education....
I know.I am the daughter of a teacher,
Thanks Bert.

GRADUATE SCHOOL
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Blood - sweat and tears
Locked in a LAB for three long years
Unravelling nature mysteries
Penanance of Biochemist PhD's
A cap and gown and Mans applaud
Is scant but just reward
But Academia I won't picket
A PhD's a good meal ticket
Recruiting Boards cannot resist
A PhD for their SHORT LIST - AMEN

Thanks for posting - BRIAN

I LOVE TO DO LAUNDRY
lysistrata said:

Dirty Old Bert,

I meditate with a hot iron overloaded with steaming thoughts.
Can you cool my iron down.??πŸš’
I love it.Send you later en price my analysis(!) about E.Bishop's "Insomnia" and my "Journey to
Luna-cy".... I hope you'd enjoy my last poem,

Maria's cousin.πŸ˜‰

I LOVE TO DO LAUNDRY
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

YES BERTHOLD - There is something cathartic about washing clothes - especially for the washer (M or F). In third World Countries when one sees someone (usually a lady) washing the clothes "Down bythe Riverside" you can tell by her expression and the sigh of relief (when the task is complete) that her soul has been cleansed as well ! A well crafted poem and a very CLEAN one too ! BRIAN

DISPOSSESSION
lysistrata said:

Bert,my friend,
You are just tidying up.
Then you would decide when to depart....
But keep a couple of LPs so we could dance,
I'd bring a Vintage Dom PΓ©rignon,
and we'd close with Ursula Le Guin's "The Dispossessed"... HAPPY now?πŸ˜‡πŸ‘»

SMALL THINGS ARE ENOUGH
lysistrata said:

BERT'S SMALL REQUIREMENTS:
1.Just make me some tea
2.Just hold my hand
3.Just share my silence

MY QUESTION/COMMENT:

1.Who is going to do the rest?(cooking,cleaning,ironing,shopping,working etc.)
2.Share Silence? Only when I am asleep or dead....

CONCLUSION:

Bert is not asking for SIMPLE things!!

I could've said it better. i read this poem at the right moment. This poem has spoken to my heart. And i'm going to fly with it. Thanks for sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings. Good day.

SMALL THINGS ARE ENOUGH
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

THANKS BERTHOLD - BIG POEM about SMALL THINGS ! I'm 50 years younger than you - BUT - I appreciate the same small things ! A cup of tea - Holding hands - Sharing silence in a noisy world ! Maybe I've already grown up ! Thanks for caring BRIAN

THE BOOKKEEPER

SCIENCE FOR YOU AND ME
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

THANKS BERTHOLD - Science has the ultimate answer to sex and everything ! Love your pseudo haiku a very pithy way to express truth. Chemists do it EXOTHERMICALLY - Physicists do it RADIOACTIVELY - Biologists do it GENETICALLY and Geologists do it MILLENNIALLY - Biochemists just do it ! BRIAN

BABY FLY
lysistrata said:

The grey plane sprayed the black fly
The black fly poisoned the white milk
The white milk rinsed off the yellow bones.
Life is indeed a perpetual funeral, my friend.
