Best Blanks Poems

I am wondering if this is one of those moments
the kind that fit into that loop of tape
playing over and over in my brain
those fleeting moments when you you did not think you needed to pay attention
but realize later it was a pivital moment in...

Feel In The Blanks
By Curtis Johnson

After watching the weather reports, Mr. Cee, who lived in California, called his sister in Brooklyn.  He misdialed and reached young Mr. Dee in Pennsylvania. Their conversation quickly turned to weather and  sports.

The two men soon moved on...

I would like to thank you for your visit.
I have removed these poems for a distant future book publication.
I believe we poets, can make a difference
in this world. We live in the 21st century,
we have tools( technology), we have our past,  and imagination.
We just...

When one reaches the heady heights of longevity
frail as in wear and tear physical agility,
a license to look upon each imminent birthday
celebrated by all in sundry but one’s bemused self,
as a reminder of the ultimate arbiter, time
soon to come a calling with his rigid agenda.
With...

Just
In time corpse shine twilight sun  had tainted my inner vision
Twisted
Shooting blanks at the rooster just supose another number feeling somber
Doesn't any wonder?
Torpedo
Torn,
The inclusion within vile pathetic outrage
Shooting blanks as busy as Tyra Banks in bikini eating linguini
Torpedo, remember Frank Serpico?
Frantic in Autumn looking...

(Haiku or new haiku? That is the question!)

It’s awful, those days when you seem to shoot blanks,
When your poet’s voice just isn’t humming,
Your only sure asset is freedom of choice,
But the titles, ideas aren’t coming.

When Nature haikus seem to float in the air,
Should you give...

When it comes to my wife, I sure don't get any thanks.
We're trying to have a baby but I keep shooting blanks.
We've been trying to have a baby for five years.
I'll never get her pregnant, that is how it appears.
It's frustrating and it's getting to...

Idiotic. 
Trying to take a jack hammer to
Writer’s block.
A chisel’s more suited to extract

So what are you called? they call me Jude.
...................................................................
That's a strange name, in fact it's quite rude.


Do you come here often? I haven't seen you around.
...................................................................
I never peeked there, I just looked at the ground.


So would you like anything? perhaps something to drink?

Doing that with...

SHOOTING BLANKS


I’m shooting blanks into the day, when I
can’t have my way, and talking to myself,
Of pain, of bitter truth, and lies. I cry,
And leave a stain, a heart in pain – yes, both.

Then love grabs hands, “can’t we just get along?”
My knees drop low,...

Immediately after a grandson and his grandma walked into the bookstore…the grandson walked up to me…a little bit bemused…and asked if I would help his grandma…he smiled saying…”She is a bit confused.”

“Certainly!” I said without a moment’s hesitation…then the grandson told me this story…as a...

God fills the blanks of unvoiced fear,
since each tremor to Him is known
and in His womb the thoughts we’ve sown
borne by ego, in time appear,
which if we allow God to steer,
there’s nothing we then call our own ~
God fills the blanks.

If heart’s pure, we feel...

A man didn't realize that even blanks will kill if a gun is put to the head.
He pulled the trigger and sadly it ended his life, he is dead.
He fired the gun at his daughter's boyfriend.
He wanted him to think that his life would end.
He...
