Premium Member In Smith-Gilbert Garden
The mulberry fell to its knees; in Smith-Gilbert Garden, it prays, near the moss-stone steps; and I look on, in curiosity. It was an oddity, but I learned of its plight. In sorrow, we make it right, a great fall onto infrangible ground. Like a bonsai tree, twisted. Listed, like a ship at storm, but sailors will never use nets, to cast, for silent butterflies; In...

Premium Member Ann and Gilbert
A cabin in the woods, just you and I Big white fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky The morning lasts all day, the clock is standing still The fireplace is roaring, removing any chill A big, soft cozy bed, fresh coffee in the cup A homemade woolen afghan, in it we're snuggled up With books to read and a guitar...

If Gilbert and Lily put their feet in the pond How much water up to the knees if they slip and fall Oh, the yucky green algae green nasty moss Stains the clothing green that the children wear Oh, my now Gilbert's eating the wild mushrooms and turnips Smells like dirty fish water seaweed in their hair My none of...

Premium Member Week 1 - Brian's Poet of Note - 'Jack Gilbert'
A Brief For The Defense Sorrow everywhere. Slaughter everywhere. If babies are not starving someplace, they are starving somewhere else. With flies in their nostrils. But we enjoy our lives because that's what God wants. Otherwise the mornings before summer dawn would not be made so fine. The Bengal tiger would not be fashioned so...

Gilbert
Gilbert smiled in bits of black through specs of broken teeth. His smile reflecting a fractured heart the horse had kicked beneath. A horses hoof to shatter them that Gilbert looked the worse. Where people often kept their distance should they be next to curse. His shining eyes left brightening. Their smile escaping out. His kindred spirit heartening where beauty left no doubt. His bold black glasses...

Hedonistic Gilbert
Hedonistic Gilbert; Most of my days are spent scraping stains off pants and shirts. Hot sauce crust, Mustard crust, human crust. Flaking off and falling to the ground. They collect in specs and piles. Microscopic mounds of yesterday’s hot dog And last weeks company. The chili stain on my pants leg reminds me of home. The stain the Rum left reminds me...
