Premium Member Ode To Poetry Soup
As we sit and type and stare at our screens. At times we wonder what all of this means? With our mouse we roam through poems like a maze. Looking for something worthy of our praise. We write of our hopes and tell of our woes, Most of the time, not knowing where it goes. We wait for the views and...

Premium Member Chella
The home where Chella grew up, in the ghetto of Liberty City Florida, had beige carpets so old that pieces of the tuft and twirl would come out of the backing under-foot. The apartment window shades were white floral plastic rectangles cut from an old shower curtain. She shared a bedroom with two younger siblings and...

Here’s a poem to start your day, I hope it helps in some small way. Don’t ever start your day with a frown, Be a Queen and straighten your crown. Never fear for I will always be near, To bring you love, laughter, and cheer. So start your day with a heart full of love, You my dear are an angel, a...

From The Heart
Times are tough, but know I’m here, Your forever friend, my love, my dear. When sky’s turn gray and shadows fall, I’ll be your light, make me your first call. No matter the storm, please don’t be afraid, I’ll always be here, it’s the friendship we’ve made. The pain in your heart is quite overwhelming, My friend, my dear, I’ll be here...

Getting Over You
It’s been a year now since we were like family, We talk sometimes now, but are so far from how close we use to be, When I drive by your estate, the one I spent so many nights in, I think of when we were just two inseparable kids, It shouldn’t hurt this much to see you moving on, But...

Sweet Alyssum
I will weep when you whither. Soft, purple petals dried to ash in august sun, Sweet nectar plucked away before I can smell your honey. Before I can taste your grace, Hold you to my face and pour my love into your cup like affirmations Do I hold you close to my chest as you die? Or turn away, I...

The Patience of Ripening
You were picked straight from the stem— a fruit fresh atop the bowl of offerings, something that must be fleece laid over blade. Not taken, but accepted. Not bitten, but cradled. And still, I would let you be the spiked fruit between my teeth— If you asked. If not to taste your sweet, then to feel your sting against my tongue. Pain can be a kind of...

Premium Member My Cousin M
I often reflect on the character of certain individuals. The character I'm referring to, in a dictionary sense, is not the same as the characters in my book. Writing reveals a person's character like nothing else. The characters in my poems are never about me; they reflect my willingness to come to terms with them. For...
