A Poem by Gary Pompieri
1 year ago

                      Hillary, Barack and John

       by Gary Pompieri

 

Hillary, Barack and John went up the Hill

To fetch a pail of beer

John fell down and couldn't get up

And Barack came tumbling after


Hillary brought her favorite doll

And played with G.I. Jane

And John went home

And  so did Barack

Hearts Touch

by Cindy Lewis-Love

Time and days ours forever;

Rush? No need, there’s tomorrow.

Run out of time? No! Never!

But life reminds with sorrow.

Did she know that time was short?

Insight, wisdom, love, impart

Pour into me ev’ry sort

And thus entwine heart to heart.

Every lesson, every song

Within, without, all around.

Like a mist, it’s here, it’s gone,

Returns to lift, spirit, sound.

Either way I’m richly blessed,

Gentle spirit lives within.

Her presence, peace, now my quest,

To know one day, ours again.

‘Til then, settle, quiet, still,

Ask of my heart, Mother dear.

No word, yet hear what I will.

Descend, surround, answer clear.

And know one day, hand in hand,

A laugh, a hug, without tear.

Two hearts then forever stand

Falling leaf
2 years ago

I'm the falling leaf

swaying silently to and fro

as the world passes me by

the light dusk breezes push me

father and farther into a world I no longer wish to be in

before flittering to my end

I look to see countless others scattering the air

realization now has become so clear

I did not fall

as a leaf to my end

in a beautifully graceful breeze

I dove as a swimmer

plunging to my death

so as to find my inner peace

A Thoughtful Poem!

I thought that was a very thoughtful poem, PEACE! Too bad we don't know the author!

"Today I smiled, and all at once things didn't look so bad.
Today I shared with someone else, a bit of hope I had.
Today I sang a little song and felt my heart grow light,
And walked a happy little mile with not a cloud in sight.
Today I worked with what I had and longed for nothing more,
And what had seemed like only weeds, were flowers at my door.
Today I loved a little more and complained a little less,
And in the giving of myself,
I forgot my weariness."

Synaptic Triangulation by Gary Pompieri

                  Synaptic Triangulation

    by Gary Pompieri

    "Aw, I hope you get trichinosis, ya bum!" cried Harvey.  "Yer no vegetarian!  Don't hand me that crap!" insisted Harvey.  Cat was startled and couldn't handle it anymore so she cut out.  "I'll get that creep back!", thought Cat.  Cat went home and had a big, juicy pork sandwich and then she ate a big, raw bloody cow liver.

    The moral of this story is:  Don't say your a veggie when you ain't.
"Rocky" by Gary Pompieri

                                Rocky

By Gary Pompieri

    Rocky Guiliano slowly walked down the dimly lit street, the tips of his fingers slightly aching from the chill Autumn weather.  Just then, he came upon a hooker.  Rocky was only eight years old.  "Nice legs!", commented Rocky.  The hooker rared back and socked Rocky in the face, knocking Rocky's brand new glasses off his head.  Rocky didn't know what hit him.  Stunned, he backed off and walked home.
    When Rocky got home, his mother confronted him in the livingroom.  "Where's your glasses, Rocky?", asked his mother.  "A hooker knocked them off my face!" said Rocky, honestly.  "Oh, okay.", said his mother.  "You'd better go down to the corner store and get your father a six-pack of beer.  I'll call ahead to Joe and tell him it's alright." said Rocky's mother.
    Rocky got to the mom and pop store  and jokingly said, "Joe, I've had it!  I need some money!  This is a stick-up!".  Joe, startled, knocked Rocky in his mouth and knocked out a tooth.  "You little S.O.B!  Don't you ever pull that again!", blurted out Joe.
    The next day, Rocky had to go to the dentist to get his mouth worked on.  When he got to the dentist, the dentist asked, "What happened to your tooth?".  Rocky replied honestly and told the dentist what happened at the mom and pop store.  The dentist replied, "I'll have to report this to the Child Protection Agency!"  And the dentist did that right away.
    
    The moral of this story is:  Never tell the truth!

House becomes studio

Hotel becomes home,

And all will become beaches you stoop down and comb.

When you're not building castles in the sand,

You're just staring out at the horizon,

Orange plastic shovel

In your hand

the truck was coming round at us
nowhere to go but to bite the dust
i dipped my haed under the windshield view
I looked over toward the woman i loved
and smiled at her and wished her luck
that was the last smile we ever shared
that truck hit us sliding fast
it crunched into the car and we both screamed our last
the firemen cut us out of the wreck
put our bodies on the deck
paramedics came to take us on
but told me then that you were gone
I passed out through pain and grief
woke up in abed without a crease
white sheets surrounded me doctors too
I only wanted one thing and that was you
dont patch me up I am going to die
if you cant save her there is no reason why
I should ever want to stay
we were soul mates every day
my kids are gone again in the wreck
why did I survive what is next
he got ten years they told me today
I hope he dies slowly each day
his face on my eyes will never go away
I slowly mend and slowly live
but what is there left to give
over 40 years we were as one
now our whole life is gone
pictures is all i have of you
moments that I live through and through
dear god why did you do this to us
why did we go by car instead of taking the bus

you get into your car one day you have just received your pay
go to meet your friends and laugh
drink a lot and think your smart
get back into car and home
nothing too it no harm to you
sleep and fell heavy headed at work
not knowing that you are a jerk
you drive your 40 tonner fast
then you brake it will be your last
so much drink inside your head
you realy should have stayed inbed
brain reaction very slow
now you need some you cant go
brakes are slipping load behind
jacknifing round into cars that are blind
didnt see the trailer come
until it hit them full on the hood
what you would do if only you could
police arrive ambulance too
life for 3 is gone its through
breathilized on the spot
they tell you your over you catch the lot
not enough sleep to get rid of booze
when in court dont want to be in your shoes
10 years in prison for 3 lives taken
do you really want to do it again
or will you learn and let this be the end

On Peace ~ New Poem by Nachi
2 years ago
There is much violence happening in the name of peace
are we really who we claim to be?

does peace begins with shouting slogans
with fist of hands and chattering minds?

real peace..begins with self...
uncovering the wounds..and letting them be open..

having faith..that healing will occur..with Gods grace & love..
embracing the ugliness, the scars, the less desired parts within..

being aware that with a touch of love..
everything becomes blessed & beautiful.

peace happens when hearts reign over mind
let peace be in your breath..
and in every moment..

Peace need not wait any longer than now..
It has arrived..believe it so in your heart..
start seeing the world..like a serene pond..


*****

Dear All,

Namaste

The world needs to be saved..from the very notions of the saviors..
The raw enthusiasm and headstrong attitude, hyperactivity that's burned out in the name of peace, love, religion and God..does more harm than any good.

The poem is on what I feel to be Peace is.


Hope You will like it.


Blessings & Love,


Nachi

Natural Rhythm by Gary Pompieri
2 years ago
c. September, 1975

                            Natural Rhythm

by Gary Pompieri

    Walking 'round the lake tonight
    A pleasant night indeed
    I began to walk at a leisurly pace
    but soon picked up some speed

    The moon was a giant bright white bead
    'A graying here and there
    And it shone on a girl
    A vision of grace
    The moonlight touched her hair

    So brightly she walked with confident gait
    She hastened down the road
    I heard a sound so crisp and fresh
    It came each time she strode

    Her shoes did clop and clip and clop
    So clearly was it heard
    I was  inspired  and with a beat
    I let a little turd

    The rhythm it was evident
    It had a certain ring
    I wished someone would hear it, too
    And maybe he would sing

    Eight bars went by so quickly
    And when it came my turn
    I groaned and grunched with all my might
    But couldn't honk my fern

    Some men would turn and walk away-defeated
    But not I
    I swallowed some burps
    And then some more
    And then I let it fly
   
    It had an off-beat tempo
    The tone it was superb
    But blew away my underwear
    They landed on the curb

    I felt a chill and realized
    My backside was exposed
    And then I thought of a righteous name
    For the tune I helped compose

    I ran to the girl to tell her and did
    She slapped my  face
    Perhaps I should have explained first
    You know-just in case

    Next day I found a lead guitar
    A rhythm and a bass
    And found some shoes with wooden heels
    And  a girl to take her place

    We jammed and then recorded
    And made a promo tape
    And I ate plenty of pork 'n' beans
    To make my gas escape

    Well, after one gold record
    And concerts from here to L.A.
    It made the charts
    With all my farts
    And then it went away

                                     Thank You!
                                           Gary

Let's the dream come true!
2 years ago

Let's the dream come true!

I dreamed about a wood full of animals, flowers, singing birds, clear rivers, colourful leaves on the trees and on the ground...I dreamed, that autumn's colourful leaves felt down to the ground, and I walked onto them like on a beautiful carpet...Here, in Poland, we have our Polish "Indians summer" too...I love it!

I dreamed: we all, people living on the Earth, sit around a fire place...The evening is coming: the sky shows lot's of stars, which winkle to us friendly...I hear the wind whispearing - listen, the wind tells about the beauty of the nature around, about trees, about flowers, about meadows, rivers, about birds flying to the heaven, about all animals waiting for our love,...about us.We can hear it with our hearts, with the eyes of our souls...

We are sitting around the fire place, so near each other...We are happy, so happy, that we are the part of the beautiful nature...We are talking, singing, dancing in the rhytm of our souls - like these colourful leaves dancing in the air...Our hearts are happy. We have all what a man needs on the Earth. We have the beautiful nature, we understand her and she understands us...We have friends, who feel the same like we.

What more needs a man on the Earth?!

Yes, I had a nice dream...

The Whale by Gary Pompieri

                         The Whale

By Gary Julian Pompieri

    When we think that if we fall
    Then we have an ivy wall
    A wave will heal them if they fail
    An exit meant 'til haven knew

    A whale in white like kitten milk
    Lay aft the helm in health
     With maw alive within I knew

    Exhale a hefty flaw, exhale!
    The waft I feel
    Then I will leave in time

    The heavy tail went in at lee
    I wait in awe anew
    It then let flay at me
    In fifty feet the mizzle fell

    An intimate twinkle lit wet my eye
    That few will feel the weatlhy haze

                Antiballistic Missiles
by Gary Pompieri             March 14, 1989

        Due to my continuing committment to your show and to the community at large and because of the informative exposition on the art of wine making by Larry G*********, I would like to expound on the fundamentals and paramaterization of the acquisition and the use of antiballistic missiles.
         Simply pick up any loose object in your home or office and with ample force, throw it at a ballistic.  If you are on target, you have probably disabled the ballistic.  If not on target, and in the general location, you have succeeded in frightening the ballistic and it won't return to that area again.

                               Thank you
