Some readers questioning my quest,
 Of modern poets- who is the best?
 Although, the question is not  hard,
 I shy away with  a grieving heart

 Inside of me a constant  fight,
 Because, I cannot be forthright
 *
 To name  the others?.......

I've read it three times and it still makes no sense
What's this all about I'm so frustrated I just want
to throw the bloody thing out. Who is she and 
what is he? All these forms, Haiku, Tanka, Senury 
Who are they? I don't have a...

Go struggle, battle if ye must your battles,
No consent need ye nod if ye should not,
You're not among them that for U-turn settles,
Let the whole world stay put whereso it sought 
To be. Love, let it soil your snow white shirt,
To dance one's heart out...

Sorry I haven't been here to comment on all your wonderful response to my work and me to read all you marvelous poets - but my internet and phone usage ( because of a sibling) is well over my allotted monthly costs and I now...

The ugly face of racism and Anti Semitism 
   are rearing up in this land 
The problem is not one we can solve 
   unless we take note of the sense of decency 
within us 
I am no saint

"The secrecy chamber of poets which untold"

When do the soul of poets sincerely revealed?
Reversed to their silent words
Reversed to the colors of their worlds
Spineless, spaceless, beautifully saved behind the shapes of those letters

Could you sense?
When the rage prevailed and the turbulence weaved the wounds?
Or when...

SENSELESS PUMPKIN READERS

Peter peter hated meter
All words seemed like seven feeters
So he only read haiku
never wrote more lines than two

Peter peter wanted more
wrote all winter-- managed four
But by spring sun thawed the first
And so he read it in reverse


This is nonsense Lear style poetry....

The only book teaching humanism;	
The only which cures locoism;	
One and only poem for lyricism	
Is Reader’s Digest’s mechanism.	
If you see it through any prism	
Can find joy, fun, thrill and sarcasm	
This is a  weak agent of nihilism;	
This is the best known idealism	
Where all spend individualism	
To receive...

I don't use vulgar thoughts,
I don't use vulgar quotes,
I don't use vulgar names
'cos I don't want that transient fame.

Some of the thoughts that stain, stay
Thoughts that stay, eventually fade away.
Some won't fade, they stay and linger
Neither in a quick sneeze nor the snap of a...

Reverence affects yours
     truly with unmeasurable
     infinite jubilant zeal,
sans unbeknownst world wide
     (web stirred) fans enamored
     with me poetry induce
     cogs of mine

Phantom Readers  

I thought I had it all figured out, given the difference in location of countries and time,
Local time here is something like 12 hours ahead of USA which uses Pacific time..

As a fledgling writer of prose and posting  them up as...

No you can’t read them!
Why?
Because if you did
It would be as though
I was standing naked before you,
Stripped of my defenses and vulnerable
For all the world to see....
