I'Ll Slam This Poem Down Your Throat and You Best Be Glad I'M Giving You Anything At All
i spit words much better than you

i'll smash your face in with a claw hammer
i carve my name in all your brains
remember me like the smell when it rains

To Fret
Life would be a whole lot better
If I weren’t such a fretter.
Yet, that’s just my worried way;
I guess it’s in my DNA.

I wish I could be less uptight
And trust all that will be all right
But worry worms its way inside
And somehow it gets magnified.

To let...

Live Life To the Fullest Before Its the Final End
The sands of time are falling away
Make sure to make the most out of each and every day
Release all of your hate and conqueror your fear
Don’t have regrets and have time for cheer
Treat everyone around you as you want to be treated
Accomplish everything you can...

I Open the Door and Cross the Threshold of Imagination
STROLLING PARADISE


I open the door and cross the threshold of imagination. 
   What i would do to hold your hand, and stroll along the beach
       tropical sun beams upon  picturesque shores

most are unusual some mundane ~ one logs in mostly to complain 

most are encompassing some refrain ~ one writes rebukes sounding insane 

most are sophisticated some quite plain ~ one adds nothing just distain 

most are original some entertain ~ one seeds hatred, sounds...

Ode To An Arborculturalist
Why that no good little birch
I think I alder leaf her
My aspens in the dirt
Don’t you know I’m not that poplar
I damn near choked on a little oak
And though I tried I am not maple 
Now the branches are all broke 
and the limbs are...

It saddens me...

       Seeing folks who once stood so tall;
        Still towering giants in our society.

I Hate Needles
Fresco fringe
Inject happiness
With a serrated syringe
Tripped on a bottle
Falling down a bottomless binge
Far beyond the humanoid hinge
Everything went odd
In a pungent pinch
With all my strength
It still doesn't give an inch

Handsome haphazard
Snappy slum lord lizard
Alcoholic love fermenting
In an magical vineyard
I watch a display screen where
Reality is...

Lineage
Never forsake the lineage in which we
originated from because
the ancestors are watching us
Their eyes are on the sparrow
anticipating us to soar into
our excellence 
Wash ourselves in their royalty
while remembering they were 
kings and queens long before
they became slaves and strange fruit
Society wants to wipe the...

Premium Member Life Lessons
Lessons in life are not always easy to follow
Sometimes go against the grain, in pity we wallow
Then it all becomes clear
We get knocked on our rear
Hiding in plain sight, truth can be hard to swallow...

LANTERNE PHRASIS 7
Breathe in &dream,step up close,
let inner sensations inhabit this
collage perfected by chance.It
may go against the grain to create
the appearance of things with dramas
in the mind which appear to distort
and elongate.But,seen in a new light
without a second thought can become
a foretaste of rhapsody,a defiance...

Express Yourself
Express yourself,
I love the way how you can be as different as you are,
The way you make this living seem so easy though it's hard,
That twinkle in your eye you must something of the stars,
Your freedom's inspiration such a wondrous piece of art,
Some choose to...

What Is Poetry I Never Really
I never really question people’s word unless it has no emotions
I never really understood till now why poetry is such blessing
I never really thought to do such wonderful words with feelings
I never really understood why people seem to say it need more
I never really quite...

Premium Member Archer of the Forest
Deep in the forest
Outlaws lie in wait
For well off noblemen
Their monies to take
 
They steal from the rich
And share with the poor
How long can they hide
In their forest so pure
 
This band of commoners
Go against the grain
The Sheriff of Nottingham
To have them slain
 
The followers...

BIKER 
The night sky is made of black tar, and broken glass,
And the moon, if you melt it in a spoon, once was an old hubcap.
So by the light of night, ride the Milky Way’s bright stars
And by day, cruse the endless highway, 
Via cheap...
