Jungle Flower Garden

Aloha poets,
     Jungle flower garden inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!


Signs and Gestures

New work disguised in the jacket of the normal
The calls to enter into the not known formal
Can there be the sophisticated spiritual?
Goes alone to a charismatic lyrical

To say yes is to answer the call 
Even as the various before you fall
Practices cutting against the wider society
Face the new task in judged trials on sobriety

To survive the test is to test in the severe
Can there really be return from here?
Such odd roads now here at hand
Signs gesture to cross the land

Go with hope find a boon
Fear not to hum a new tune
Bonds of community, farewell
Traditional future, sound the knell
