Poem
Tonight I will not write
of stars, nor moon,
seeds of wisdom--
just mind flattering
bloom--

Nor will I write of love--
neither here nor above;
though our dearest 
sentimentality, the heart, 
too often foolishly enacts 
its own fatality;

and if I decide to write
(which I have not yet)
it will not be the common
dark vs light--
No, not this, low, literary-fruit
will I harvest, arm and lather;
pick high and low to gather--
likewise, I will divest of
good angels vs evil counterparts--
my rules, my pen; therefore, for me,
some spades can be clubs,
and all pointed diamonds I declare
are now well-rounded, suitable, hearts--

Nor will my Poetic-theme
be of great, vast seas; 
nor smaller phrases
of streams—the writer’s
usual surge to roar
that calms to a sleepy bore….

and certainly not
will I write about depth
of self esteem--
the shallow image of self
often incapable of 
of deep, worthy gleam;
though seldom do others 
see us mere puddles
as we to ourselves 
are wrong to deem
(though never approaching 
the great-self,
alas, most of us
will only let dream)--

so, tonight, self for me will rest...
and if brought to theme
it will only be for rhyme, my easy best;

Oh! That Poetic Shopping-cart:
shelves of prose! Aisles of mesmeric gleams!
like Poe’s mystic schemes--
clouds feeding voraciously off headless peaks—
those fantastical shoulders we desperate writers 
must climb if to find our lofty seeks--
all creative mind’s begging for such volcanic leaks—
No! I will not pontificate on these, for the best programmers
many do still believe are little more than
Charlatans or geeks--

Nor as subject will I attempt the Divine;
our soul’s hope to progress, as wine,
to some vintage state--though, without tasting,
when compared to life’s offered new...
such abstaining, perhaps, not worth
the spirit's residue--

Nor will I attempt metaphors yet more mysterious--
maybe, even delirious; though often told
such intoxicating views, like the morning dews
can be practical lifesaving for both greens and blues--
sadly, such pasture-valleys thoughtless men 
have turned to breathless, rat-infested alleys;

No! Tonight
should I decide to write
I will write of other things…

I will write...hum….
I will write…      simply, Goodnight….
