Jesse Clark Poet Blank verse

My Pictures

I have my pictures and my poetry
                        my maps of ancient times and my books
                      In a world gone mad with murderous chaos 
          Yet everyday-clever with culture and seductive technologies
          My poetic heart beats strongly with the love of the people that
                                                 surround me
             My children and their children; the children of friends
                                 and the friends of children
                   I cherish them, like the bees that swarm around
                         a flower-bed... I sit and await their notice
                    needing their attention and their movement
                                       to confirm my reality
                                 As I ponder the winds of time

Jesse Clark October 15, 2013 at 9:21 PM Thank you Ifeanyi Bob Ekechukwu; for the kind words and the welcome. I am looking forward to meeting everyone, and reading a wide variety of poetic styles. I hope to become a full member in a few weeks when finances are better. I am a part-time cashier at Walmart, and a substitute teacher, so my income fluctuates. poetically your friend Jesse the poet.
