Best Dictated Poems
Banged PendulumsJust when twilight and dawn finally mesh
in the quiet passage of breaths released...
there in that moment, I witness
a thousand wishes dancing
through the shadows of my mind,
each and every one in the form of chiaroscuro
marked by restless eclipses black to white.
The yearning streaks of a...

A Gnome's LifeI would write a little poem
if I weren't a little gnome
Little gnomes have gnarled fingers
where no pen can ably linger
All my writing's done, you see
by my faithful secret'ry
For she's twice as large as I
nearly one foot one inch high
With dexterity so fine
she has written every...

Let There Be Limericks: a Little Bit Biblical IThe Garden of Eden
Some people believe that the Garden of Eden
Was in Africa, Asia, Australia...not Sweden.
The presumed site of its location
Is assumed from the interpretation
Of which Good Book's being read…and who's doin' the readin'.
Noah
Noah's ark, neither yacht nor a sloop,
Was constructed to be one...

The United States of AmericaOur justice system is far from perfect, but it is what we’ve got
Just because you break the law, doesn’t mean you deserve to die or get shot
This is the United States of America, we are not a third world nation
If you don’t live here, then...

Oratory - Power of the Spoken WordAs words escaped constricted passage
of time from eons of layered myths,
legends of demi-gods thus linked,
in glowing rendition, with whisk on hand
the Orator with staff, sang the Eel to slumber.
As words from parched lips of orchids, flowed
dispersing sweet juices germinating dense spheres
of time in which history...

New Never Is - Charles WoodNew never is...
(Charles Wood)
We are but voyeurs,
peering through the iris
of the painter’s eye’s recording
details of a scene
not meant for sharing,
when wealth and power
are kith and kin
of the common man,
and rank hath neither
meaning nor memory...

The Stars Only Cry At NightMy love has gone to a distant dawn
For the stars only come out at night
In a soulful song my will pulls along
Whispers weeping in the moonlight
My love evaporated as I have waited
For the stars only come out at night
My love deflated as heaven dictated
For I...

Separationto be so far apart
in so many different ways
brings a hunger to my heart
a sorrow to my soul.
'twas fate dictated our destinies
that we were to be starcrossed
in love.
bittersweet is our portion,
though we did fleetingly taste
of intimacy's pleasures.
that is the one memory we can cling...

Freedom's BlessingMany blessings we are given.
Some of us receive more of some blessings
than we do of others.
However, there is one blessing
which needs to be equal for all.
It includes the basic human freedoms
which are even called “God-given,”
but are they really equal for us all?
So important...

the water fairy Ida Rentoul Outhwaite 1921I follow the curve of the land
forging a way that was already dictated
falling whilst shackled to endlessness
becoming as I rush blindly forward
looking to the ground
a thunderous roar my ever present...

Meant For Someone ElseLast night I had a dream
to give to you this song I'd sing
Tho on my mind was someone else
But there were you from off my shelf
So here I am to write to you
that poetry so long overdue
The walls of life were
so high and...

how to exorcise a demontormented by an entity attachment
maybe it is black magic or maybe not
find out where within us lies the weakness
that finds us in the demons clutches caught
perhaps an advanced medium can exorcise
the Frankenstein we have by fear created
but at end of days it’s really up...

Dictated dream and lingering shadow.

like that feeling in the London Underground
when gusts of dusty air rush over you
yet this...
