Red Hot Moon
It's there.....
There .....in the sky
Looking like
A bowl of rhubarb and custard

The fiery glow it emits
Looking like a giant fireball.....
Ready...to descend to earth
the moon in all its glory.

What does it mean?
Denoting spring is on its way
Or goodbye winter ....
Here's hoping the sun will shine as brightly.

It...

*For Matt's How to Build a Spaceship Contest



How do we create an airship that soars?
The answer was Roswell’s, but it could be yours

Make the long trek to Area 51
To find secrets that lie beyond our sun

Use a metal that is lighter than tin foil
Load the...

I'm a polar bear, just that.
          Don't ever call me bi-polar
      or I'll angrily maul you to death!

Love Or Chocolate
Why would I want to be in love?
It makes you sweat, overheat, 
And hyperventilate. 
It creates major heart issues 
That stay with you for years.
It costs too much money 
When you try to keep it with you.

But why would I want to be in love
When...

Reflection

There has been more advance in the last hundred years
than in centuries. At first they seemed wondrous, a
miracle as they helped us in multiple ways and most
eased our lives to some degree or another.

Yet all this technology and industry has come at a
horrendous cost to...

Industrial-Revolution
During the United States’ industrial revolution,
Eli Whitney invented interchangeable parts;
Identical components that could be substituted one for another.

This creation was made for machine— 
weapons
cars
and other mechanical mysteries. 
This isn't the case today.

Hips are interchangeable. 
Legs are interchangeable.
Hands and fingers are interchangeable.
Hearts are interchangeable.
Now, not only...

The Literature of Trepidation
Upon the paper the pen bleeds, casting its sullen gaze upon the ideals of its mere existence. Trying to unravel the mystery of its being. Uncovering the wisdom locked inside of its core, threatening to overheat and cause a meltdown the pen cannot overcome.
In times...

The Redneck and His Truck
He quickly jumped into the driver’s seat.
Off he sped, there’d be no retreat.
With no place in particular to go,
He simply had a new truck to show.
	
Many months he had waited for this day
Now this work day he’d put away.
To stay inside and from his passion...

Madness.....
Nausea overwhelming.
     Hands desperately grasping my pen.
     Body trembling trying not to overheat.
     Mind blaring, eye's burning from unshed tears.
     My heart ready to leap from my chest and...

Wasn'T Nothing Major

The first person shooter
did video confess:

It was just a little bang  bang,
no big deal ... wasn’t nothing major at all

Minor beef got some onions grilled,
cheap talk had turned dirt ill
And when the rumors started to spin,
volcanic tempers got lit
by the lava vapors rivals were...

Youve Got Me Going
Well and it's just like you did
start up an old, old car now
you've got my motor running
bout to overheat, ‘bout to blow
a fuse, bout to throw a spark
you're driving me wild down
romance street oh yeah baby
YOU'VE GOT ME GOING
Well and just like flying a
World war...

Kiss
Wind blowing in my hair
The breeze gently caresses my body
I feel as if I’m not here
My body feels weak
My knees are shaking
The intensity I feel
Is making
Me vulnerable
To uncontrollable
Movements
As my right leg goes up
No longer acquainted with resistance
I’m in non-existence
With myself
Love has taken over
I’m drawn in...

Shallows and Deep
7/9/17


Whether or not I ever find what I seek

You are what you eat

Bare foot or with shoes on your feet

You can try, but it'll do no good turning the other cheek

Nights of very little rest or a great sleep

Fields full of wheat
And beets

A rise of...
