Poetry and Other Reflections on Being Human. Black Sails by Barbara Daniels. By the Grace of…. March 27, 2014 in Uncategorized. If you have an alcoholic in your life, then you know that their options can come down to these. Uses for a cardboard box. To cover the broken window because you lost your key. As a trash can for empty bottles, cigarette butts. For carrying clothes from the local thrift store. As padding for an old mattress, rug for a floor. To collect bills, unemployment letters,.

Give and Take | Pono Poetry

Poetry and Other Reflections on Being Human. Black Sails by Barbara Daniels. It seems to be the nature of living that what we most want never comes when we want it and when we have given up, it appears in unexpected ways. This poem is not about rain but about that elusive thing we all seem to be searching for that explains why we are here. It is uncooperative, does not obey our prayers, but often brings us unexpected gifts of understanding. Our parched landscapes crave. Our books and wilted gardens.

Passing through the Vinyard | Pono Poetry

Poetry and Other Reflections on Being Human. Black Sails by Barbara Daniels. Passing through the Vinyard. December 10, 2013 in Uncategorized. Cusp of morning,. Arguments at the dark. A 747 drones across the sky. Laying a vaporous stripe. On the night’s dense asphalt. What was it woke me. Or the hiss and whistled sigh. Of life embering my life? I toss in the tangled arms. Of a new day. Feeling it stir, pull me. With its fresh enticements. Hope, that ravishing drug,. Works through my veins,. Create a free ...

What is Joy? | Pono Poetry

Poetry and Other Reflections on Being Human. Black Sails by Barbara Daniels. April 26, 2014 in Uncategorized. You told me once our work would not be done until. You heard me say I was happy, and I said that happiness. Was the PR spin we put on resignation, the opiate with which. We numb despair. But as I walk home this fine June evening,. Past the empty baseball field echoing with the brash baritones. Of high school boys and the chime of bats shivering balls into the air,. It doesn’t get any better.

Poetry and Other Reflections on Being Human. Black Sails by Barbara Daniels. Prying the Oyster for the Pearl. January 24, 2015 in Uncategorized. It wasn’t you I was looking for. And it isn’t salvation either. It’s an end to the yearning. That summer in Arizona. Sitting shoulder to shoulder. On the ranch house porch. We rolled limp mounds of raspberries. Popping their tiny suede sacs. As we argued whether it wasn’t all as simple. Sauna heat and spice-scented air. Raspy choir of insects. Just like you to go.

What calls me? | Pono Poetry

https://dgreenleaf.wordpress.com/2014/01/21/596

Poetry and Other Reflections on Being Human. Black Sails by Barbara Daniels. January 21, 2014 in Uncategorized. A trip to Canterbury while visiting family in England reminded me of the grandeur of these religious places and how they seem to call out something inside us, regardless of our belief or lack thereof. Is it just the architecture, or is there something more that speaks to us, to which we respond? It’s understandable, this urge to plunge. One’s knees to the floor, plant. Subscribe to this Blog.
