Triolet: The Robin's Song

The robin perched atop the tree
Signals spring his warbling song;
How long will I be pleased to see
The robin perched atop the tree?

Because it seems he sings for me,
I feel I want to sing along
With the robin perched atop the tree
Who signals spring his warbling song!

The atom was unleashed in 1946, right when all this stuff was occurring. And the bomb's incredible release of energy and light may have signalled somebody in a dimension which is sharing space with us very closely.

Mixed up signals,
Stars beckon, will is strong;

Sleep

Encased pupils rapidly moving
Erstwhile yawns extend to snoring
Bliss setting in to dreaming
Some humans airily walking
Some humans merrily talking
Aperture on the iris best awaiting
The mind early or late signalling
Sun light the iridic doors feeling
The physique getting to a refreshed living

S.O.S.

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
I'm shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening
Listening
I'll be standing here and I'm miles away
Making signals hoping they'd save me
I lock myself inside these walls
'Cause out there I'm always wrong
I don't think I'm gonna make it
So while I'm sitting here
On the eve of my death bed
I'll write this letter and hope it saves me
Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help

If beauty isn't genius it usually signals at least a high level of animal cunning.

Signals

No sooner
Light changes color
Why do you take off?
Red light awaits ahead
Why such a hurry?

Green light's signal to go
Red light's signal to stop
To control man's movement
A light stands at every step
Look ahead and drive
It's dangerous otherwise
Harm awaits
At every intersection.

On the road
All the way
Many lines we see
Solid and dashed
White and yellow

Understanding Prison Signs

One long loud signal bell
Or several short sharp whistle blasts
Tell you to stay sitting if your are.
Standing, sit on the floor 'til

Your hear the signal that it's over.
The signs on the walls make it clear;
'Warning Shoits Will Not
Be Fired' in here.

Let Us Win The Game

Voicemail, E-Mail and Snail mail;
Let peace reign and let love arise!
For the High-IQ Signals and the High-IQ Powers are here,
And like busy signals everywhere in this world.
As cold as the ice and as hot as the sun!
As lovely as the moon and as sweet as your muse;
We only want the goals in any match so,
Put it into the net and let us win the game! !

Signal To Noise

You know the way that things go
When what you fight for starts to fall
And in that fuzzy picture
He writing stands out on the wall
So clearly on the wall
Send out the signals deep and loud
And in this place, can you reassure me
With a touch, a smile while the cradles burning
All the while the world is turning to noise
Oh the more that its surrounding us
The more that it destroys
Turn up the signal
Wipe out the noise
Send out the signals deep and loud
Man Im losing sound and sight
Of all those who can tell me wrong from right
When all things beautiful and bright
Sink in the night
Yet theres still something in my heart
That can find a way

To Someone Who May Claim As The Subject Of This Poem

when you die
i shall not cry

i shall not have
you my tears

i will just wave
my hands
like the sea
to the land
where it does
not belong

i shall not smile
what relevance
is earthly joy
to heavenly bliss?

i will give you a wink
like a lover

Leaving

He left
gradually
like water
evaporating
after the rains

no moment
signalled the
beginning
of his leaving

the lushness
that surrounded him
just slipped away

waters became
muddier
crowded with
predators
snarling snapping

Best 4 You

Sound by the flexibility signalled -
You never see the signs -
Displayed through your eyes, tears sparkle to shine -
Sadness rains, never too long -
The rainbow provided by happiness -
Clear the emotions to your heart -
Sometimes -
The best 4 love -
The best for you -
The best is a new start

Double Pleasure

Everyone loves a two for one deal
Expecially a two horse layout view
For it has a beginning and the end
Where double pleasure becomes true

My deal starts with the first horse
Signaling a good start for my day
Then it ends with a second horse
And I would want it no other way

Wanderlust

Looks like I pulled a fast one
Looks like I went to town
Looks like the world revolves around me
Looks like it's falling down.
I thought I'd kicked the traces
I thought the wheels would spin
I thought I'd jumped the fence and bolted
Looks like I'm back again
I got my signals crossed.
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
I had to grab a suitcase
I had to change my clothes
I had to run the shower hot
until the water froze
I brushed against confusion
I wanted time to grow
I want the sticks and stones not to throw me
get back to what I know
