Ramblings and Tirades of O Anna Niemus

beetles have stitched wee eyelets
in the lacy green sleeves
of the sunflower leaves
*
negative energies seem stronger than
positive energies because they
are linear.. but the strength
is a shortlived illusion
*
the glacier gingerly put his feet
in the lake... and when he pulled
them out they were gone.. this also
happened to the coal lump near the fire
*
he no longer wanted to celebrate
new love by killing flowers
nor revere a spiritual holiday
with dead baby animals on his
table.
*
the sun scattered a treasure
trove of jewels in the lake..
clouds have come to hide them
from the unknowing
*
a rare wildflower in the
mountains.. a sphere made of
individual white daisy like flowers
*
a table rock covered by a jade moss
table cloth... a late December dining
room with a small living fir tree rooted
in moss and stone
*
Let us not choose lettuce
for bean and cucumber
vines
can climb
the lattice
*
winter's sweet sleeping roots
awaken in spring to nurse new shoots
which from the well and rain do swell
to give us juicy fruits
*
it is more difficult for atheist
poets to lift others to joy
*
Can a daisy stop a bulldozer?
a groundnesting bird
brake a tanik?
prayers for peace melt
angry warriors' hearts?
*
O Lord we ARE worthy to
receive Your communion bread
*
You did not ordain, Jesus
that we have innocent animals' flesh
and shed blood on Your altar,
but bread and the juice of the vine.
*
As God's hand upon our crowns
can bring healing, so
can the vitamin C He put in all
fruits order toxins out of the body.
*
Hot sewage unfroze the brook it
entered.. saving the lives of fishes
.. "all things work for good"
*
a laser when relaxing becomes a rainbow
a rainbow sped up becomes a laser
*
the centenarian had over 100
runs
around the central sun
but they won the race who
sooner slipped their bodies
to return to the central sun
*
the scarlet blood of innocents
enters the aqua waters of the
stream by the slaughterhouse..
a river of purple agony

**
from being given parts of other animals
cows are mad
from fighting for their lives
in slaughter, cows are sad
*

the scarlet blood of innocents
enters the aqua waters of the
stream by the slaughterhouse..
a river of purple agony

**

*
as a canoe glides through water
soundlessly harming none,
the purest actions create no backlash
and harm none
*
Jesus compared the unheeded
Word of God
tp seed among thorns thrown
or seed tossed onto many stones
or the bird gobbled seeds sewn
There is also seed in too dark places
in deserts dry as a bone
*
because of the darkness of the night sky, stars
shine more brightly
because of the attacks of warmongers, the path to peace
is more moonlit
*
as waters close over a
coffin buried at sea
so many
are silent
about atrocity
