‘You Say It’s Your Birthday’

redcandle

A double–edged sword,
These celebrations / realizations .
Ambiguity .
Notching circuits of the sun,
How many crosshatches
On the final tally ?

GoldStar

However . . . Jubilation : )
Unvanquished junket
Through the thicket,
‘ Slings and arrows . ’
Victors circle in that very star ;
Deserving of a ceremony
Of self .

Giraffe

Giraffe3

Acamel wearing a leo-pard
Stretched out to look quite bizarre,
With seven drawn-out cervical bones
Topped with tasseled ossicones .
Coated cream with orange blotches,
Dappled shade that camouflages ;
Lone the pattern each ungulate,
Windows that thermoregulate .
Gallops like a lanky wreck
And combats with a swaying neck,
With blackened tongue prehensile
And a fly-swatting, tuftéd tail .

Nested Numbers

NestedNumber2

All numerals are complex,
Even ( or odd ) the given set
First counted :   { fingers and toes },

The fabled bits wiped by zero,
That singly creates the wholes
From the naturals nested,

[ all of these labels mounting ]
Integers periodic
When the number line unrolls

For fractional rationals or
Implacable irrationals,
Real in a complete ordered field .

Imagining despite descartes
Circles back round to the start .

Fishbowl


The middle name
Faint and saintly :
Cognitionis ;
The other ostracized
On a higher plane
Feeling lower,
Lashing with banter .

Transformation :
Plaid prep to peach
Eyeshadow and cherry
Soda ;  firework
Dreams didgeridoo,
A new life connected—
Goldfish watershed .

God [an equilateral triangle ?]

rhombus

Yahweh was a war god ;
Now she turns the other cheek .

The equilateral triangle :
Sophia + Yahweh,
Logos [ the Big Bang ]—
Perichoresis :   dance of the ages .

The problem of the fourth :
Shadow ;  or fifth :
Wasn’t Chaos always there ?
Okay then: a diamond in the rough !

Polar Bear: Cute as a Ruse

Coke

Polar Bear

Triangle bear
With invisible hair
Will calmly bite off your hand if it’s there .

Carnivorous
Ursus maritimus
Can sniff you out a mile in the distance :

Stealthy as smoke,
Swims for days, clawing strokes—
Just don’t expect them to be drinking a Coke .
