I used AI significantly to refine this massive site for presentation not to create poems. I wrote poems for 50 years before AI.

Welcome.

This website contains an ongoing archive of poetry written continuously for more than half a century. The first poem in this archive was written on October 11, 1970. Since that time thousands of poems have been recorded, each one dated and often time-stamped to preserve the moment in which it appeared.

The poems were not written as part of a literary program or academic project. They arose gradually as reflections on life, human behavior, spiritual awareness, love, death, and the passage of time.

Over the decades these individual poems accumulated into a large chronological record — a kind of poetic journal documenting the observations of one person attempting to understand life and share those reflections openly.

The archive now includes several forms of poetry:

• Petal Poems — short, compressed insights
• Free Verse Poems — longer reflections and narratives
• Love Poems — poems inspired by personal encounters
• Spiritual reinterpretations of classical religious texts
• Meta-Poetry — poems examining the nature of poetry itself

Each poem is presented within the larger timeline in which it was written.

This structure allows readers to explore the work in many ways. Some readers begin with the short Petal poems. Others explore the longer Free Verse reflections or the reinterpretations of spiritual texts. There is no required path through the archive.

The project continues to grow as long as new poems appear.

At its center lies a simple idea: that thoughtful reflection on life and greater awareness of our shared humanity may contribute, even in small ways, to increasing the level of peace within the world human society.

You are invited to explore the archive and draw your own conclusions.

Sincerely,

Dr John WorldPeace JD

The poetry presented in this archive represents a body of work unlike anything previously attempted in the history of poetry.

It is not simply a collection of poems, nor a curated anthology, nor the product of academic workshops or literary institutions.

It is the lifelong record of a single poet who began writing in October 1970 at the age of twenty-two, the night before reporting for military service, and who has continued writing steadily for more than half a century.

Today that work has grown to more than eight thousand poems, written over fifty-five years, and still expanding.

This project has no fixed destination. It is not a finished monument but an ongoing archive of consciousness, a chronological record of a single life expressed through poetry.

Each poem is a snapshot of a moment in time—what the poet saw, felt, or realized in that moment. Together, the poems form a long unfolding journey rather than a completed work.

WHO IS THIS POET - WORLDPEACE?

I am a working man
who writes poetry for pleasure
and for like-minded souls

For now, I am a working website designer
but I was self-employed as an
insurance salesman, accountant,
tax man, attorney
never a professor

I am not a one-trick pony
but a high IQ polymath man
with unlimited energy

I refuse to conform for
those who demand conformity
~ I refuse to be schooled in poetry

You are either a poet or not
and if you are, you hone your unique voice;
not merge it into any chorus

I will take my poetry raw
and directly to the people
and see what may come


My pleasure is in the creation first and always and forever

I have miles to go before I sleep

My poetry is not just for today
it is archetypal
and for the world human society
for as long as it lasts

My poetry is to be an example and to set an example
for like minded souls who are arriving now
and will come later

I cast my poetry
forever down the road
into the future far away

This is a much different metric
than the metric of
the current poets’
who I currently watch from afar

210617-1316
Dr John WorldPeace JD
An advocate for peace but not a pacifist

The Poet's Wind

I disgngage
from my routine
chores

and sit down
at my antique oak
writing table
in my spiritual chair
~ my creative cockpit

Like my hand
entering a familiar glove
I put on my
poets's mantle
and escape
to my joy my bliss
of welding words
into poems
and then into books
of poems

This is my ultimate peace
in my sanctuary of bliss
of old and disembodied poets
who surround me
Their surrogates stand
on bookshelves
to my right

The old poets' presence
on my right
The spiritual teachers
on my left

and the grace of God
- my gentle wind -
blowing me
out of my
safe harbor
and onto the
ineffable infinite sea

Dr John WorldPeace JD 211012-1817

Lotus Petal 3264

The moon spills
repeated/continuously over
the waterfall
but creates only
one rippled reflection
in the pool
below

Dr John WorldPeace JD
210929-2053


Ivory Box Red Heart

Once the ivory box
is broken
and the sacred
love is attacked
~all that
is beauty
begins to
disappear

As the red heart
of love
erodes away
as it is discounted
by the monetary
god of man

we all begin to die

Dr John WorldPeace JD
210929

 

Myshe

If I am alive
Myshe is holding me in
If I am a bird
Myshe is the wind
If I am an old man
Myshe is being born ag'in
If I am a body
Myshe is its soul
If I am blood
Myshe is water
If I am the sun
Myshe is the moon
If I am a fish
Myshe is the ocean
If I am a star
Myshe is the galaxy
If I am the male
Myshe is my she

Too Many Too Much

Too many leaders
not worth following
Too many clouds
that bring no rain
Too many words
not worth repeating
Too much dying
from random violence
Too many beautiful songs
never sung
Too much art
without any beauty
Too much living
without any heart
Too many children born
and starved for love
Too many clowns
not enough fun
Too much life
not worth the living
Too much blindness
among billions of eyes
Too many zombies
not enough dying
Too much corporate religion
not enough personal spirituality

Dr John WorldPeace JD
210615-2208

Layered integrated intense mystery visions

I wake eyes wide to mannequin men
dancing frantic around a ferocious fire
snapping at their wooden frames

Their masters the red and white harlequins
in pantomine speaking mutely the incantations
of the diamond King
giving life to the dancing firewood
that are being called home and to smokey ends

The Great White Owl
circles round the Red Mothmen streaming in

The Big Black moon of June

The rituals on the millennium's eve at noon

The apparitions of hell play out their spells
as I fade behind memories
closing epic mystery doors

Dr John WorldPeace JD
210402-1423

Death

After a long string of days
and many years
and decades of years

his door opens
to goodbye

He mindlessly
walks through
into eternity

and one of us
among the gathered
of us

arises and closes
the door
forever

    NOTE: All the poetry written by Dr John WorldPeace JD is under The Complete Poems titles
    Then about 70% of the Complete Poems are published as Select Poems;
    The Love Poems from the Select Poems are being published as My Loving Remembering Poems in chronological order in 100 +/- page books.
    Then the Select (not Love) poems are being published as My Favorite Poems in chronological order in 100 +/- page books
    The My Favorite Poems and My Loving Remembering poems should be finished by the end of November 2021.
    Starting In December I will probably chose from My Favorite Poems and My Loving Remembering Poems 100 page books titled as WorldPeace Silver. Then another pass through the WorldPeace Silver and create 100 page books titled WorldPeace Gold. Then from the Gold to the Platinum books. I would anticipate one final volume titled WorldPeace Diamonds.

    This series will cover October 1970 to December 2021.

    I expect to publish about 1200 - 1500 new poems in 2022 (and every year after as long as I live with full brain fucntionality). I will make some choices of the best but probably not integrate them into the 1970 to 2021 selections. I dont know it is just too far into the future to say now. I already realize that I will publish a book of death related poems as well as several books containing only my longer poems soon.
