Another man, a Native man who won't be named, published a poem I wrote about stars without permission. So I wrote another poem about stars, different from the original, and had it remixed by AI Chatbot. To the Starlit Night And he was a visionary Painting his obituary As he bled down to gravity The pulldown...

The anxious crowd Gathers Slowly anticipating The grand opening A bud trembles Dew drops shiver A late sun Unlocks the stage door A gentle hum builds Slowly Petal fingers open To unheard applause A chatter of sparrows A distant hoot The muffled cooing Of doves Stage right Crimson capes Opening To nature’s suitors ...

There is a test for personalities by Dr. Hartman called “The Color Code.” He studied folks both here and from abroad. In every land exist a basic four he’s labeled Yellow, Red, or White or Blue. The test has nothing though to do with colors. You answer questions based on how you felt when you were a young child, and that’s because the...

Tommy Turkey revealed that last year Farmer Joe made old friends disappear. To the new birds he said, “Heed my words or be dead should that farmer with axe reappear.” The new birds thought his tale was a fable. Tommy cried, “Run as fast as you’re able.” To the corn field he fled while his dumb friends instead ended up on a Thanksgiving table....

I tried to read a favorite poem of mine for you. Your eyes glazed over. You could have been a lizard on a rock sunning yourself, entirely unaware that I felt as though I were there in front of you reciting my words of such beauty that an angel could have been singing them while playing on a harp. You may have even...

Why are the photos you take of me unflattering? The truth is there, I look like that But is it your lens - absolute evidence of what you see... I appear in flickers from elsewhere, a vision I don't recognise Hearing the words 'our' before my name That yearning I have for belonging leaping from my body, I almost collapse...

Start with the first line - no, start at the first word; the human brain is not equipped to produce brilliant ‘first words.’ Consider ditching it and its associated adjectives, trust me there will be adjectives, if not controlled they will breed like rabbits. Imagine you only have $5 of original things to say, be economical, for if you overspend the poem may go bankrupt before the end. Run...

Some drivers really make me want to scream. I’ll do some little thing that they don’t like. They honk or give the finger. It’s so mean. I’d like to yell at them to take a hike. Of course I can’t say THAT. They’re in a car. What makes them all such grouches anyway? Are they upset to have to travel far from...

[This poem 'No God Of  Mine' was seemingly confounding readers as to its meaning. Ordinarily, if I felt a poem wasn't  cutting it, I'd delete it, but on this occasion, I've been asked to explain it... so here goes.] By way of prologue, the picture is indicative of a discovered text/book which hints at the possibility of eternal life/existence. The opening verses describe...

I’ve been sitting here for long lonely days In this small space that I cannot escape from. I am one of many other dogs in their own small spaces where we stay in a long row, all different sizes and types of us! There are so many of us here that when one of us barks, many others start barking...

Denver wheeling Spinning, Thinning Itching, Scratching Black box shouting, Pause recording Stop stalling Part 2 I want Air Force 1, Fuelled and ready to go At my command Draped in invisible camouflaged blue shadowed by red arrows Part 3 I wish to see the falling angel for myself Viewed from 1st class champagne in hand washing caviar and truffles down In questionable company Part 4 Knock , Knock What's the dark secret you are keeping well hid behind...
