Indomitable August!!! Brown Liquor Grown Folk Brilliant Bridge Poetry Corner

Brilliancy!!!

Oh here come that man.
Adept2u in the house
Don't know ask around.

I'm looking for it. Got what I need?
I want your rhyme, do I gotta plead?

INDOMITABLE AUGUST!!!

Let me try and paint the emotion of what I'm looking for.

When I was 7 years old I fell out a 2nd story window and broke the Earth's arm.

Soon after I precociously pissed in the gas tank of a Datsun pickup truck. That vehicle is now Optimus Prime.

The Scylla and Charybdis are trapped between ME!!!

I was once swimming in the Atlantic and was brushed by a ship‪#‎RIPHMSTitanic‬

When he heard they were talking about me Shaft told them to shut their mouths.

They opened Pandora's Box to find me playing Spades and trump tight.

I can't be faded
‪#‎BlackGirlMagic‬ Favored Son

Do you feel me?

THEN SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!

Brilliant Bridge Spark of Serendipity

A light on the Bridge asks, Adept2u this idea of Serendipity you have in your title and mission what do you mean by that and do you know in Jerry McGuire it’s spelled KWAN not Quan?

I’m extremely pleased you asked answering questions helps me think.

When Adept2u went to school they didn't have all this wonderful media we have today.  We had films and presentations they made in the 50’s and 60’s before society went cheap and stopped producing new things for children.  They don’t even have Saturday morning cartoons anymore, but at any rate, they had one film I just loved about how nuclear material makes an atomic explosion.

It starts with a trigger explosion and then the power of the explosion runs away as individual atoms are torn asunder and send bullets of power to liberate the energy of other atoms.  Well I’ve been told that the power of Serendipity runs in a very similar manner.  By whom you might ask?  Well that’s an answer I’m on the Bridge to find out as well.

Now about the Quan and again I’m very pleased to answer the question.

Orphaned Africa

Adopted Five Families   

Black Yankee Shaolin

I’ve spoken about my time with the Job Fairs.  Well I’m in I think Detroit during the early part of my career then and it hits me.  Hey you can’t fight.  Like if someone slapped you you’d just cry and take it.

I've never been one to allow a hole in my abilities to remain unfilled so I researched what martial art I would take.

Quan Yin Kung Fu/Tai Chi

I've been a long time on that path my belt is J.C. Penny 5.99

Quan is a Chinese expression of the whole the entirety a sort of feminine I am because it also carries an essence of feminine divinity, which I also talked about.

Jerry Maguire?  Yeah I’m going for that too.  I love double entendre pun type things and many times when folk don’t understand me they go home a day later and laugh their asses off when they get it.

The love of puns as high art was born with Piers Anthony.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_View

As an example of the powerful influence of Serendipity another Light on the Bridge the tremendous Miranda Chop and I were talking about some rivets etc on order for the Bridge and a motto fell out.

 Brilliant Bridge Voice Training Your Prophetic Song

*Finger Snaps* 

Remember to get your poetry ready and in my possession before say 4:30 PM PST Friday for entry in the Poetry Corner.

Brown Liquor Grown Folk Brilliant Bridge Poetry Corner I

Brown Liquor Grown Folk Brilliant Bridge Poetry Corner

Here's another collection of haiku, but this time I collected them with a special purpose outside of my own trippy musings. I've begun a Facebook movement I'd like to see grow into real life and into lots of things called Brilliant Bridge our motto is 

We are a band of optimists claiming our world back from the control of fear, time and money. We are siblings devoted to increasing Serendipity in life.

If that’s something you could stand behind please join us on the Bridge, but the reason for the collection is we have us a good old fashioned Brown Liquor Grown Folk Brilliant Bridge Poetry Corner happening, and as I threw the first rivet in the Bridge I’m playing!

I have an advantage I compose Haiku, but there’s no rule about how you can’t be poetic as a normal course of your day, in fact…I think it’s a Brilliant Idea.

My prince rambunctious

The world's to small to hold you

Grampy's arms will try

4/24/15

Be the Brilliant Bridge

A Butterfly Beats Its Wings

Launch a thousand ships 

4/25/15

Black man oasis

Gotta tighten those edges

So fresh and so clean

4/30/15

Ah human hubris

Can't understand each other

God we can speak for

4/30/15

I sit in my yard

Imagining a concert

I got the aux cord  

5/3/15

Serious business

Exploring the Universe

Lift off little man   

5/4/15

Michael put it down

We danced most furiously

The Brilliant Bridge life  

*Finger snaps*  Get you some of that.  Do you have to produce a multimedia extravaganza to participate?  NO!  leave whatever you want as a message to the group.  I’ll collect everything and make a blog out of it for publication as part of the normally Brilliant offerings.

What a great idea thanks to the Poet Laureate for providing Brilliant inspiration.

The Collected Haiku of Adept2u

When I was maybe 8 or 9 years old I had a cousin Gloria move to smaller space leaving me the bounty of years of membership in book of the month clubs.  One of the books I spent hours reading was called Samurai and is what I now know is a Samurai Western. One of the conventions I fell in love with in the story was how people of culture composed haiku for all occasions. So, I took to doing them in my head, and with twitter just tweeting them out when and if it struck me. 

 I decided to just blog up the ones that Twitter has memorialized for me because I hash tagged them because hey what are blogs for?

The butterflies wing

Engages transformations

With inconstant wind 

3/2/13

The Color Purple

Observations are happy    

Bird with a french fry

3/2/13

Moonlit softer form

Slipping through dimension time

I stare cause I can

3/3/13

Time froze at the sight

People turned into shadows

Enola's new sun

8/613

Luckless lottery

Nagasaki's clear blue sky

Bock-scarred mourning

8/9/13

Half century dawns

Feels good yeah feels really good

Get ass off my lawn

10/5/13

My grand-babies heart

So much anticipation

Not so far away

12/13/13

I could be a tear

I'd spend my life on your cheek

And die on your lips

My Bellisima

My own being skips a beat

Restarts in your eyes

5/10/14

I gaze at heaven

Like your mom in the window

Eternity's wait

2/27/15

Luminous I shine

The space between Yin and Yang

I exist as line

3/15/15

I stare at heaven

Imagine immensities

Contained in a cell

3/26/15                                                               

Essence luminous 

In the nucleus of all

Blush a tiny seed 

3/27/15

Nucleus of all

Elders of the gentle race

Our mother foresee

3/28/15

The shadow lion

Misfortune must understand

Protected space here

3/29/15

My view is ensnared

Electronic spider's silk

Blue-jay's hunting porch 

Shine on you raver

Lieutenant Dan on the mast

All iterations 

4/1/15

Is there a problem

Are pebbles big obstacles

Time for a new deck

4/2/15

How's it work Grampy?

Separation vibration

Oh elemental

4/5/15

With the music tree

We call the band Mariah

Then it plays for free

4/10/15

My golden halo

Chocolate is delicious

Shared new found knowledge

4/12/15

Namaste friends!
