Lives We Have Printed
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Lives we have printed 
were written greatly with rhyming thrust.
When wreaths of laurels scented 
beguile the richest dreams with lust,
fragrance glorified bows to trust. 

Poetic form English Quintain: rhyme scheme a,b,a,b,b 
Written for Brian Strand’s...

THE PROJECTED VERSION OF ME,
THE PRINTED IMPRESSION OF YOU!!



Beep beep is the sound of the room, 
when the fantasy turned into a fraction of pain!

Fine fine is the voice I heard,
to a freaky father who was in chaos for months! 

Boringly bathing, naively speaking,
took years...

I
He left to learn more: art of love to make,
And sun down, wished to rest in a village,
To take off at the dawn soon as to wake,
A graceful woman gave him a cottage.

‘Forget me not on your way back, she said,
A few years and he...

From the look out of a sun stained window
The bottom half of thick misshape clouds
resemble the motionless hilltop tree line
which stands beneath waiting to connect

Cradling mashed regret
from an inverted credence
The mystic pause between
overcast and sapling bleeds.

The strain of caged expression
leaves a trail of mocked kindred
As...

Is the logic of a lioness the same as a dogfish? Or a display in a shop window of pretty pink kittens? Very definite is a definition of derived detail. Oh look over there. Quickly. The window in the furniture store has become quite alive....

The Highest Denomination U.S. Bill Ever Printed

By Elton Camp

If on Jeopardy! this question should arise,
The correct answer might be quite a surprise
“What’s a hundred dollar bill? will be wrong
To a larger bill that distinction does belong

Only 42,000 of them actually came to print
And for public...

Life isn't a white sheet,
It comes as printed plastic,
You can't write one damn thing,
You can only tear it in pieces,
Stretch it, deform it, burn it,
But no, it won't even make a paper aeroplane.

Forever will their alacrity to commit development and success
To our country remain in our remembrance
Lets ajar the curtains of the world of the dead
To plead for their unfinished visions into our palms

Salutations of mountain Everest
Won't suffice their required respects
Their agog to feel and fondle success...

Send us one hundred and fifty dollars
And we'll send you a year's worth of gayly printed boxers
They will make you proud
Prancing around in a crowd
Oblivious to the stares you'll get at the doctors...

Dear my you were, 
as I know you mever wanted to bear, 
I won't call you near.
Audios like you are for me, 
preparing in different timelines to see, 
if I used the same words and never sumbled a bit, 
because I want everything to fit.

The heroic books, even if printed in the character of our mother tongue,
Will always remain in a dead language for degenerate times;
And we must laboriously seek the meaning of each word and line,
Conjecturing a broader sense than what common use permits
From what our wisdom, valor,...

As  you run at speed
 release, for fluttering flowers
  printed on your skirt...
