Wind drinkers flow with strength and grace.
                Thunder pounds from their hooves.

Premium Member A Poet's Dozen - Birds
birds interesting
a collection from nature-
all so beautiful

The Storm Petrel's are small birds that seem to hover,
little sea birds that appear to be walking on the water.

Loons unable to walk on land    they shuffle like old people-
oh so graceful and skillful underwater ...

Tenderness
Rushes to the window

 with every pitter-patter

but it is only the rain

crashing into me

trying to wash away my pain

reminding of sunny days

where the pitter-patter

was the beating of my heart

where love was never sought

but happily was found

my heart breathes 

feeling once more

your tenderness

pitter-patters run across

the oaken...

Time

Life millstones pressures creation to sort
through essential time, balms the albatross
over seasonable means, paid in court.

A past fraught in qualm, trading ourselves short,
wills the clock face, hands smile--it sates the loss...
life millstones pressures creation to sort,

from the moment...

Battling Addiction
“I’m Tim and I’m an addict, and I last drunk a week ago.”
The circle replied ‘hi Tim’, all their eyes fixed to my shuddering body
All unaware of the eccentric movement of my quivering lips, all not wanting to be.
The chair was shaking and the room...

A Controlled Reply to a Skinhead's Brain

Just when I thought some real evolution
Of moral thinking
Just might be taking place these days,
I run across this Neo-Nazi piece of crap
Masquerading as a poem,
Shrieking wanly in an open, small-press 'zine.

This fool blames the ills of the world
On "World...

Homemade Stew
A stuffy nose leads to runny nose, frozen toes and thick as jelly mucus
sitting in your chest not allowing you to rest, mucus really sucks because there is nothing you can do but suck on lozenges and say aw nuts - 
sitting on the couch...

-passion- Part1
Black silky curtains hang down,
stopping short of 3 inches long,
messy, good scented hair, 
partly covering two beautiful hazel orbs,
dancing with the joy and suns light,
endless staring, tender loving eyes,
placed gently in a smooth light-mocha creame complexion,
centered by a small, cute, baby-like nose,
and large, scrumptious, peach-colored...

Rambunctious rainstorms
Laugh – dance with rock and roll sun ~
 Promise of rainbows.

Sunrise bursting out
In bright shafts – hues of orange ~
 Bright eyed wake up call.

Brilliant yellow rays
Run across the morning sky ~
 Golden amethyst.

Peaceful blue - serene -
Sapphire skies deep as oceans...

Footstep

Across the gray and stillborn face
 Earthlight beams in shafts of blue
To follow sunlight into plains
 And ancient valleys in hide and see
Played upon this place,
 A million years or more,
Then bends around horizon’s sloping line
 To reach into the golden dawn
It ever seeks just...

To the Dream Market
Saša Milivojev - TO THE DREAM MARKET


I throw memories down the well
And, leaving, I hear the echo of tears
I do not want to have my face
Treading on my own verse
Tied in knots
Like a frightened doe
I run across the glass bridge
To the old place
Where Light and...

Symbiosis
I feed upon nature
and it feeds upon me
I drink from its waterfalls
and swim in its seas
I pluck some of its apples
and find shade under its trees
I rest upon its rocks
and run across its leas
I bathe under its sun
and dance beyond its breeze
For it is I...

An Unwelcome Guest
Hi I'm a guest in your home, yes that's right your not along
But, you don't like me 
I'll never understand why
When I run across the table I'm only trying to say hi
But you try and hit me like I'm the bad guy
Why can't we be...

My Disease
How dare you proclaim that I am perfect!
See these scars?
I am weak!
See these tears?
I don't even know why I'm crying!
My mind is my prison,
keeping me locked up while depression holds the key!
I try to move past the little things,
but they are like cannons, 
going off...

Petey's Magical Lizard
In the tall grass there lived a lizard.
His special powers were of a wizard.
If you held him in your hand awhile
he'd change his color and make you smile.

A little fellow name of Petey
was thought to be a real sweetie.
When his mama sent him out to...
