Cherry petals dance,
tantalize by way of wind,
sun greets, daylight warms.

Origami Speech

Words breathe aloud,
in wide canyons
echoes within,
rumbled rocks
come alive as dust,
rising clouds
in layers settle.

Don't eat chicken
embrace fright.
Avoid pork
swine sty, pigged out.
Turkey makes the fool
sleepy.
Big beef charges in.
Rabbit and venison
suit,
fleet of foot
with many children.

Cut out, boxed up
the corner sections
fills first,
words are grabbed,
stretched, held aloft,
the ideas dance
on bobbing
washed hands.

The sudden jumps from one topic to another, which seem sudden, but are not really so... There is deeper meaning in it, waiting to be discerned. I loved your style! Keep up the great work.

Because your writing is very unique and recognizable. And thank you once again for a babble of brilliance that seems as though a madman spewed it out to you as you passed in New York City but when you got home you realized he was God. Cheers, Francis Wolf

I just happen to be one of those people, but hey like they say better late than never, lol. Sir AJ you are, here I go again sounding like a scratched record in the process, an extraordinary poet whose work is thought provoking and whose work has such depth and meaning. I loved the quote at the start by Lily Tomlin. A mighty fine job Sir AJ~ As always ur fan/friend, Infinite&Eternal_Dreamer
