beyond belief
the soul is so serene
laborious progression lost
an exercise consistently contained
returning to a simple form
these absolutes are one
internal peace

aware
to act awake
intuitive of self
diversified acceptances
complexity forever simplified
incorporated unit truth
a quantified center
a perfection

sublime
unique beyond
the mediocre rise
are mundane elevations in
perceptions of euphoria derived
beyond an expectation sown
a higher plane upon
a pleasure dome
sublime
Well, since I can't center the fucking thing we have
to use our Sesame Street imagination and picture three
perfect triangles. LOL. Sorry guys. tomEdited 7 time(s). Last edit at 07/02/2022 05:57AM by easyeverett.
Tom, try this:
If you will use these symbols
< p r e > <font face = arial>
two lines before your post
and these symbols
</font face = arial>
after your post
(without the spaces or stars between the letters, or the equals sign)
I think you will be able to use the formatting you choose.
Here’s an old poem I used this on in May 2006:
Why
Outside the stream
The voice rose
Breaking the edges of silence
Up in the atmosphere of today
Laughter made its way to my brain
Arias on the jukebox
Laughter in the café
Voices rising above the coffee machine.
My friend brought me a postcard
From one of my books
The back of my head opened
The past comes into the present—like that,
One page at a time,
One friend at a time.
My purple flower, the one in my hat,
Keeps my other friend close
In all her purpleness.
Why do I write, my friend Robert asks,
Why do I write poetry?
--it is the human thing,
that is why—
the answer is simpler than the question.
Peter, Peter problem solver Peter
thank you my friend and once again
the brain brings order to the site
and made the post far more appealing.
Thanks Peter. Most appreciative. tom
Tom, I got it originally from Les, who is our mutual benefactor.
btw, the formatting does contribute to the attractiveness of the post...what you see is what you get, huh?
take care,
Petter
On this one you are getting what you see and
hopefully what you read. Or maybe nothing you
read will enhance my shape or detract from my
shape which is then the neutrality political
believers in applied poetics hope to gain. lol
Thank you again my friend Peter through Les,
the originator of brilliance and brilliant
application. tom
