Premium Member dead ends

artless darts pierce heartless hearts 
garrulous gnats deafen rancorous rats
rabid foxes beget brainless rocks

we are all dead
when it all ends

there are too many dead ends

Premium Member Experimental Scientist

A most important thing to do
is to put on a sock before a shoe
The method that is, by far, the worst
is to position the shoe on first.
An experimental scientist with pride,
I only know, because I tried. 


An exploration motivated by Gray Squirrel's observation:
 
Humans make a big to-do,
because they wear a shoe.
Another animal, of course,
wears a shoe.  He's called a "horse".
From Appaloosa to Kentucky,
a horse shoe is more lucky.

Premium Member SPACES experimental tritich

CATARACT OP

The mist lifts slowly

           ??

A new vista is unveiled

*Gael Turnbull(1928-2004,a Scottish doctor-poet created the imagist Spaces form in his collection Briefly (1967) a three line poem with a larger than usual blank space( ??)for 2nd 'line'.
Turnbull  called poems using his device ‘Spaces’, and noted of these ‘The visual “space” is,a pause or hesitation, even a temporary dislocation of attention’ . Thus the reader supplies his own imagination thereto.

Premium Member On a Solo Night Against the Grain

what glows?
who knows?
fortune deleted
K(afka) coughs
it pains me/he/we (hehehe)
Goodbye/Hello: poetry 

a Thesis
just another YouTube video
stuck in profound rain
smirking in beguiling glasses
smoking a chamomile cigar
How sweet it is (was?)!

dangerous road conditions
misfortune detected
K(afka) croaks
Where's his (my) Oscar?
Hello friends!
Failure is the only option

Hello/Goodbye: poetry
in the House of Antithesis
Hell needs help
sticking to shticks in the rain
mostly cloudy
Goodnight & good luck

Saturday on the lake
cursing out a mini-update
phoning it into the Synthesis
a horse is a horse
galloping with Superman
on a solo night against the grain
