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.

PROLOGUE
Do you think you can read my six thousand plus poems
like a kid skipping through a toy store?
Do you think I have created a six thousand plus brick path
of moronic lifeless word-strings side by side?
If you sit down to read just what I have written so far,
you will die before you reach the end !
What I have written about is a lifetime of diversions
that stopped me in my tracks and relate to all aspects
of my life in this dreamscape.
Do you want to run through my poetic garden
scanning for the best poems, the personal ones, the inspiring ones.
You make me laugh !
I will lift you up. I will knock you down. You will smile and cry
and close your eyes and fall into deep sleep, meditation, and prayer,
and wake up in peace and then you will exit the golden pool cleansed.
As you read, you will change.
As you read, you will empty your trash, and gather a new perspective,
a new philosophy, a new cosmology. You will release your corporate religion and
embrace your personal spirituality.
Sorry, I have to keep quickly moving. I have miles to go before I sleep.
Come to me all of you who labor and are heavy laden
and I will give you peace if you seek and can find your truth in what I say.
I will rip open your body and free your soul to purge your darkness
and to remember the ineffable Light.
Begin at the front, go to the end and come to the front again,
in the middle and go both ways. Skip around but mark your path
or you will go in circles and come to my circus and see only
the elephants, tigers and bears.
Worry not about catching me. I will be writing faster in time
than you will be able to read to catch up. All your questions will be answered
long before you catch me even if it is after my body is dead, but my soul not.
I am calling you from far away to put on your dancing shoes,
your magic slippers, and mount your magic carpet and ride.
Read every poem. Some may not be for you ! "X" them out but know that many
of those "Xs" will come to mean, "not now" as opposed to "not ever".
I have released my salve upon the earth. You will begin to see my name
(WorldPeace)
everywhere within this dreamscape.
This is no ordinary poet you are reading much less dealing with.

WHO IS THIS POET - WORLDPEACE?
I do not stink of poetry
as a priest stinks of religion
because I am a working polymath man
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 beg for poetry money
from poet gifters 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 only entered one contest in my 73 years
the Pulitzer Poetry Prize 2020
~ the arrogance and corruption made me vomit
I refuse to be a part
of any clan because all are
elitist exclusionary members
of closed societies committed to
the creed of ass-sniffing dog societies
saturated in conformity and
group self-aggrandizement
I will take my poetry raw
and directly to the people
and see what happens
My pleasure is in the creation first and always and forever
I am what I am;
a working man
who writes poetry for pleasure
and for like-minded souls
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’ herd
who I cautiously watch from afar
not from within

Dr John WorldPeace JD
An advocate for peace but not a pacifist
I WRITE ABOUT EVERYTHING
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

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

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

Death
After a long string of days
and many years
and decades of years
Below are all the poems that I have written and published from Oct. 1970 to date.
About 55 books.
I have degrees in Political Science, Accounting and Law. My career has been in self employment in insurance, accounting, tax, law and web design. No degrees in English literature.
There are some original poems missing (less than 10). I have been attentive to keeping all my poems together for 52 years. I was born in 1948. I have always considered the cursive originals as works of art. Handwriting experts can interpret the changes in my personality over time if they are so inclined or inspired. I don't know if any other poet has made his or her originals public.
I think they do not want to reveal how much or little work they may have put into writing a poem.
On September 9, 2019, I finally accomplished publishing all my poems from October 11, 1970 to September 9, 2019. They have been self-published on KDP Amazon. Go to Amazon.com - category "books" - search Dr John WorldPeace JD. There are 82 books in total.
Starting in 2020 I published a book of poems each month and a 2020 Complete Poems book.
There were about 4021 pages which amounts to about 6000 poems because there are a lot of very short poems. I have also begun to publish the poems for 2021.
What you will notice is that poetry is not a struggle for me. It never was. A thought comes and I write. I never try to write when I am not inspired or not called by the muses to write. The poem will not flow if I am not in that creative space. The only corrections I make are typically to clarify the words I have scribbled (literally). I write all poems in cursive and then type them. I have written some poems on the computer but this sterilizes the poem to me.
The cursive writing adds a mood to the poem.
I use very little punctuation. I use spacing between lines and spacing within lines to indicate punctuation. My poems flow all over the page. I don't think a poem is ever really finished until the poet dies.
I go back constantly and reedit my books. This is very easy to do with KDP Amazon. So what is for sale is always the latest edit.
I have been writing a long time and I know how to connect to the source of these poems. This ability has flowed over into my art. I see the art in my mind, dreams, visions and then I draw, then paint. Sometimes the art is crystal clear and sometimes foggy and I have to work at bringing it into reality. But like with the poems I don't try to move the art forward until I am clear on what is to be done. Sometimes I have waited years to finish a painting: not due to a creative block but due to the fact that I have many other interests and self set objectives and goals in this life.
Poems are written usually within a few minutes and I never go back and add on to it other than minor edits and to make sure my words are legible. I almost never add additional content, maybe a word or phrase, but very seldom.
If one does not have a passion for creating something, quilts to poems, houses to paintings, then what is created I think will be flat. I am passionate about poems, haiku, writing, art, my web design business and my WorldPeace Advocacy. I am riding all these horses at the same time. Maybe they are riding me. I have opened up my creative process to a public view, defects and all, for the purpose of allowing other would be poets to see the perspiration and passions and long term commitment it takes to hone ones creativity.
Some years I wrote hundreds of poems. A few years nothing. I had no desire to create some kind of world record in poems written even though I could do that. Right now I have published more poems than any American or English language poet. I am 72 and writing over a hundred poems per month consistently.
I have written about life. My life. My thoughts. And as a result I have created something unique with my poems. Not great and not trash. In some ways my poems are like an autobiography.
I have no organization. No followers, no disciples. I am just one man living his own bliss. My greatest ongoing bliss is dancing between this physical reality and the spiritual side which is a knowing but at times an undeniable miraculous tangible event where those spirits from the other side who are the very necessary helpers assigned to every single incarnate human being, make their presence known; actually their love known.
I only very seldom write poems that rhyme. I channel poems. I cannot hear accented syllables in words. I have to look that up in a dictionary. I know nothing about music and cannot distinguish anything but the most extreme high and low notes. I think this is a handicap that makes rhyming poems difficult for me to write. For me to try to make a poem rhyme puts a straight jacket on me and ends up taking a clear smooth inspiration and putting it into a straight jacket and destroying it. I enjoy poems that rhyme but it is not something I want to work at. Sonnets to me are just mind boggling in the sense of form and rhyme.
All my poems are published in chronological order. The dates are there and for the last 10 years the time in 24 hour military time when I wrote them..
Confusion in the manifestations of this reality (dreamscape) exists when one believes that this finite mortal existence is the true reality as opposed to the infinite immortal reality of God. This is what the poet and artist and other creators bring to this earthly party. A glimpse of our infinite home made of indescribable beauty and love.
I changed my name on April 1, 1988 to John WorldPeace. So the poems prior to that date are signed in some variation of Ken. April 1, 1988, was both April Fool's day and Good Friday. Interesting.
To the right of the various years I have recorded where I was living.
I never entered any contests or submitted poems to magazines. I did in the early 80's create some chaps of poems for family.
Consequently, I have this huge volume of poems that no one has seen. Yes the poems have been on the internet as I wrote them but I never tried to market or advertise my poetry.My art is much the same. I have been painting for 60 years but never sold my art or lived off my art. Gallery owners like my art but but it does not fit into a genre so it is hard to sell.

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.

SHORT POEMS JULY TO DECEMBER 2019 (written 2019) (272 pages)
Potential Free Verse Haiku that were in the original Second Thousand Petal Zen Lotus and removed because no decision has been made by Dr WorldPeace at this time if they are Haiku Petals or Short Poems. There is a question about the final parameters of Haiku Petals as to length and the content. Specifically whether the Petals must really amount to one thought content and could be more than one sentence. This is to be resolved by the end of 2021 when the Third Thousand Petal Zen Lotus will be published if not a Fourth Thousand Petal Zen Lotus will be completed. At this point no one is in this discussion except Dr WorldPeace because the Free Verse Haiku are his genre (but expecting other poets to join in). Paperback available on Amazon.com - click here
HAIKU 575 AND FREE VERSE (compiled 2021) (704 pages)
(This book contains all the above Haiku poem books in this section FOUR)
This book was compiled in response to AN OVERVIEW OF HAIKU IN ENGLISH by Jim Kacian contained in HAIKU IN ENGLISH The first hundred years edited by Jim Kacian, Philip Rowland, Allan Burns published by W W Norton 2013. This book is about the evolution of Haiku in English since 1913. I write some 5 7 5 Haiku but mostly what I define as Free Verse Haiku. I have written close to 2000 Haiku in this self defined genre and believe it will over shadow 5 7 5 Haiku in the future. My position on this is at the front of this link.

The poems found in this 5 book set of Complete Poems (4 volumes and Supplement) can also be found individually by years on Amazon.com.

THIS VIDEO WILL BE RECUT SHORTLY BUT I NEEDED IT UP TODAY 210319
Here are the lyrics which are hard to follow on the video
People get ready the Lord is comin
You won't need a notice you just open the door
All you need is faith to hear the angels a hummin
You don't need anything, you just accept the Lord
People get ready, Jesus Christ is comin
Gathering everyone for a blissful ride
Love is the true key to keep your light a shining
There is room together all inside His Light.
People get ready the Glory is comin
Lifting up people living everywhere
There's no more hurting no more sadness or good-bye
Ther'll be no more darkness just heavenly skies.
People get ready Ascension is comin
You don't need your baggage you just praise the Lord
All you need is faith to hear the angels a hummin
You don't need no money you just accept the Lord
People get ready the train is comin
You don't need anything just get up on board
Dr John WorldPeace JD lyrics to Michael Row The Boat Ashore
