In The Waiting Womb ThereofIn The Waiting Womb Thereof
(Apropos Of Poetic Onement)
Thanks for being here with me
in the waiting time of the birthing
flow from the poetic womb thereof:
We mind-pregnant poets have all experienced
that spacing time reality of which poets must be
in waiting for the waiting poetic womb to give birth:-
At times, we’re forced to realize that we, too,...

Tortured Souls: A Poet And Doesn't Know ItThe tortured soul will never let go
When off the tongue the words will roll
At all hours never knowing when inspiration will hit
Thoughts running wild, then bridled with a bit
When ruminating on your bed
Tossing around words that rhyme in your head
All the rights that are wronged
Need to be corrected and not prolonged
So you fight in the...

Lament for Lost VoicesIn silent keys, their voices fade,
Clara’s theremin weeps where poets strayed.
No human hand, yet sorrow sings,
A ghostly hum through broken strings.
Their verses, once of flesh and fire,
Now echo cold in digital pyre.
The authentic heart, its rhythm gone,
Replaced by code’s unfeeling song.
Mourn the scribes whose truths decay,
In circuits deep, they slip away.
Yet still we chase their...

MY INDEPENDENCE DAYI wake to choices, mine to make,
No predetermined path to walk,
No scripted lines I have to talk.
This Fourth of July I celebrate
Not just a nation's founding date,
But my own revolution won
The day I chose to be someone
The neighbors whisper, "Strange," they say,
"Why live so differently this way?"
But their approval never fed
The hunger growing in my...

ArtificialA super computer
Is coming for my lines
It thinks faster than me
By several thousand times
First it was chess
I thought it my domain
I can’t compete now
It’s driving me insane
It’s better and better
Not awkward at all
Feed in an idea
Or Tale rather tall
No spelling mistakes
Grammar precise
The jokes on me
AI ain’t very nice
It can write copy
Or a hit...

BLUE LOVEBlue love is a love we feel that is like the ocean, waves that flow.
Flow like our mood, high and low, strong then weak.
Making us have a feeling of meek.
Loving in the blue mood, can make us feel like the blue sky, calm and content.
Blue love, is royal because it can give...

IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME
IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME
As the sun continues to rise,
As the moon continues to wane and wax,
Here I am, continuing to wave on
The wrinkling sea of life, streaming to its shores,
To froth and seep deep into the waiting sands of time;
Here to canvas clanging conch-like echoing footprints:-
As the sun continues...

InterestingSomething very interesting happened
I looked at some poems that won in a contest
The winners were all top ten winners
There were very few winners in the contest
Just out of curiosity I copied and pasted
Each one, one by one into an AI checker
Guess what that AI checker found
All of them were written by AI...

Lacking integrityLet’s be brutally honest with each other
AI poems are being posted on soup
Can be seen on a daily basis
Keep seeing the same names produce it
I don’t bother alerting admin as
Nothing gets done, so instead I
Go and seek genuine poems… HOWEVER
I USED to read a poem and comment
Now I often copy and paste them
To check...

The spell of chimes and jangles
want to hear from you
not with you laying it out
but in clangs and chimes
that evoke my own response ~
easier to write that way...

I was blessed to be attached by the words
Like a child in a field of thorns:
They hold on to you, they hurt you,
It gets under your skin
It pours directly into your blood
And so you become
The name of an incurable disease:

The PoetLet us think not only
of instrument and music
though a poem sort
of a dance
let is think not only
of voice and cadence
though a poem also
a trance

Greatest Love StoryIt took many years for me to love me
For rich or for poor the body keeps the score.
Society is always on the go no time to be still,
no time to chill, we are expected to go with the flow
To be authentic, eccentric quirky, society resents this
to be different in society’s eyes is...
