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
Incandescent Sun

‪#‎haiku‬





Do you feel me?

THEN SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!

First work goes across the span Friday 8/5 at 5:00 Pacific

Snap your fingers.

I knew that you can.

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.

*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



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.

4/15/15

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.

Venus Jupiter and Mercury in his Eyes

Venus Jupiter and Mercury in his Eyes

He was born in the time of a rare conjunction. 
My daughter grew to new levels of wisdom only labor teaches and as she learned
I observed its progress through the night and a day as she lie
I noted its progress in the sky.
I wondered about his beauty and the enormity of any task what message was its delivery a function.

My baby is a miracle the streams of his river so often blocked
For 3000 years one side harried with no home for 150 the other side feeling like a family alone.
Asunder in tyrants inhumanities visit what armor could I give him how do I cover his people left and docked.

Such a serious man my time machine, but already and abundantly with the answers they sheen.
I love you PopPop Grampy I love you too, and in that sweet answer hope springs always anew.

I know where part of the answer of Venus, Jupiter and Mercury lies

They look out of the time machine of the planets eyes.

We Are From The Future

That was the catch line the videos I’m about to present used to catch me initially.

As am I starting to blog a little more frequently again let me catch you up on some things with me.


I say UFO as in unidentified I don't say ET because for all I know what I see is some artifact of a future man.

I see them everynight I look I’ll probably kick out  more about it when the ole muse tells me she has more for me to say about it,but so far I’m still Richard Dreyfus  from Close Encounters throwing dirt on my dining room table wondering if my family thinks I’m crazy and content to still try and find out in my yards.

So, anyway about 2 years ago my Sweetie finds a graphic for me that serves as the background to my Facebook wall and has since I first saw it.



I dig it.  Outside of looking like a White dude I think It’s a great representation of me what I’m thinking about and manifesting when I meditate with the stars and the message next to it?  I'm all about that.

Did I ever tell you how things come to me in trippy to me at least ways?


I was waving my Iphone at the UFOs and thinking welcome etc and the next time I looked at my phones browser a link to the dialogue I published above was there.  Once I had it copied onto my computer the link I got it from stopped working, meh life's a divine ride.

So why am I blogging the following videos?

Because Garret the dude apparently behind the videos says

Serendipity is one of my best friends now a days

We are From the Future

Life vs. Entropy

My brother apparently has a website should you wanna get involved any further Upriser and Way seers Manifesto



Namaste Friends!

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!
