Eleven Hundred Poems
So many hours,
So many days
So many times, my mind has gone in different ways
I'd think until
I'd think about
I'd think and think, and then I'd write it out
Eleven hundred poems
Eleven hundred writes
Eleven hundred poems, I've written through the nights
So many hours
So many days
So

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov - 1849-1936
Of eleven children he was the first
and from an early age
for research had a thirst
his love of dogs was no surprise
highly regarded
he received the Nobel Prize
altho' no longer around
of all those that ever were
I clearly like the sound
as with food it goes so well
and if nothing else
the name 'Pavlov' rings a bell

Are you attracted to eleven or more?
Should 21st Century poetry
For the new minds of a culturally bombarded generation
Be limited from 3 to 7 lines?
Before you answer
To me personally, even though to answer, makes my Heart aches
I like reading poetry built around subtlety
Concealed layers or secretive depths
Relatable interchangeable meanings
Powerful raw stuff that sometimes leaves your eyes wet
Unearthed within deciphering

I Was Just Eleven
I was just eleven that day,
Seeking love that slipped away,
Yearning for a warm embrace,
Hoping someone'd see my face.
Then I caught your steady gaze,
Like the sun through morning haze,
Blue eyes bright and waves of brown,
Wore your beauty like a crown.
Knew you for a little while,
Trapped beneath your gentle smile,
Kind and warm you seemed to

Clocks Party
Seven Thirty, Five Thirty and Nine
Paid a visit to Ten Past Eleven
They were tasting the precious mulled wine
Talking sweetly until it struck seven
Seven Thirty then raised from his chair
Said I’m sorry but I have to go
Answered Ten Past Eleven take care
Hope you’ll be back in time at your home
Then Five Thirty fell down fast asleep
As

a Sunday eleven year ago
Any Sunday 2015
Long is Sunday, empty streets
a tunnel of silence,
damp pavement, water trickles
into gutters.
Burnt matches, *** butts and
yesterday's leave forms a rust
brown dike, it bursts and floods
tiny pebbles-
flowers on the window sills
admire the rain on glass.
A life spent in a pot fear
no weed and see no evil.
A black cat decides not to
cross the road,
a child

Eleven fifty-nine
Like your favorite ambrosian juice and long caramel series, there's always an end. Everything has an end. The arcane rainbow, the beating rain, your aching pain. Hunger is a feeling, and to conquer it, you must feed it.
The strongest things are buried
beneath the ground, in the dark, in the unknown and to know

NINE ELEVEN MEMORIES
NINE ELEVEN MEMORIES
Like the glorious Twin Towers that fell,
I fear that day, was our descent into hell.
Our American values seemingly dashed.
Amongst all the rubble from the fiery crash.
Giant spotlghts up to the heavens glared.
The rubble of the dust, filled the New York night air!
The grand thing was, all the flags that we, in memory

Have I become too old to remember,
A day that shook our senses to the core.
Twenty-Three years ago, to be exact when
Terror became fundamental, no longer to ignore.
The pages of history have

Eleven
The eleventh month, November, the month that takes a breath,
As it's waiting. Waiting for a fickle sun to decide.
Though sun's decision ever is to skim the sky with stealth,
As if a painter's hand the vibrant stars of night has 'plied.
The short days of muted light unwrap autumn's cold beauty,
While thick blankets on a bed ensure

Eleven Hours
Eleven hours you waited
To get you some meds
Now you are dying
In this hospital bed
You squeezed my finger tight
You twist and turn your head
You moaned in pain
Just before you were dead
Your lungs start to struggle
You couldn’t fight anymore
Your little heart stopped
I collapsed to the floor
They brought you back
Said you weren’t dead
Your heart restarted
But oh, your cold
