Best of This Week's New Poems and Sayings

[Tom Hendricks]

Some of my better Poems and sayings, new this past week or so:

POEMS

the candle

goes out,

but the Moon

shines on.

I designed a dress

of all seashells ,

but no one could wear it.

the NOISE! Who could bear it -

a din of ocean roars!

the outlined hand

on the cave wall

says both 'hi'

and ... 'stop'.

In the chapel

they dust the pews.

Up rise dust mites

that linger in the light.

Then after all

the dusting is done,

they settle ever so

slowly back down.

leaves fall

memories fade

Time to sleep.

But I don't want to.

Too many fireflies

going on and off.

To write the biggest number, I

had to fill every inch of the universe

with nines, with tiny little nines,

nines on the microscopic level,

nines with enough weight to clump together.

Every atom had to be shaped like a nine.

I saw my natal chart

as a game board with movable pieces.

Let me explain

how invisibility works.

Light is a spectrum.

Imagine a line.

It's in the middle

where we can see.

But boost the energy

of the visible light

to a slightly higher

vibrating frequency

and "POOF" you're gone

now in...vis...a...___

SAYINGS

He's out to lunch and not paying the check.

I've decided to live in the bookstore and just visit my home.

Sometimes the mystical can be very down to earth.

If it's made up, it's real NOW.

Every person is two people; the person you meet at first and the person they turn into.

Saying something profound in simple words, (the most moving poetry).
