There’s a concept forming upon the horizon 
A sunset warning me to focus my eyes upon

to comply
with contests whose
requirements are nigh
impossible, amuse

In Stride

...5/6/24

I got to grind
All the time
In order to rise
As it coincides and goes with time
An ode that's signed
With an open mind
Looking at it from both sides 
Otherwise

In my old age
I have become bitter,

Lessons unlearned, I was far too disinclined. 
The tart whispers of regret, a mournful song, 
I realize times in my life where I went wrong.

Premium MemberOde To Emptiness

...There was a time I’d think in rhyme
and daydream in blank verse.
O muse, you died; I’m sure I spied
you leaving in a hearse.
Methinks that I might force a try,

Not Quite Ready

...Some friends are going on a tour;
Invited us to join.
You’d think it would be easy 
To decide - just flip a coin.

When Covid reared its head.

Not a Fan

...As much as I love music,
I’m not sorry to admit
That opera’s the exception,
For I like it not one bit.

But rather it’s the v...
