We move through the night, though the streets seem empty, we look left and right, electric vehicles are stealthy. As we exercise stepwise, sunrise happens. and black night fades its cover. Like phoresy, painted, pieces of heaven, the day opens with primary colors— reds that delight, oranges that tease and peacocking yellows that leaven. As the counterfeit rainbow enchants and rouses, streetlights waver and douse, lights flicker...

Their fists were of furious intent, But backs were too aged and bent. It wasn't the seizing, But rather the wheezing, That both to the hospital sent....

Premium Member Emily Dickinsons Burial
It may seem a cruel tragedy that Amherst’s greatest poet Emily Dickinson never got to marry though she burned ardently to be. And yet in Death (if you’ll allow) she did eventually get laid – not in a man’s bed but a pine box and (if you’ll allow) this paradox she still remains a chaste old maid. ...

Premium Member Dirty Little Business
It's a dirty little business And I've never stooped so low But if I stay here long enough I'll dig myself a hole There's trouble all around And death to be expected But the tools that I have found leave's a wound, that's undetected It'll take time for all to see What I've done here on this day 'bout the time that they take...

Premium Member Apophasis Now
Apophasis is such a cool word. Not to mention how it sounds like a popping fist and fireworks, though I wouldn’t dare suggest I’ve ever blown things up just for grins and giggles. It’s cousin to praeteritio, kissing cousin to paralepsis— all of them cool sounding words, not to mention parasiopesis which leaves the juiciest bits unsaid— but don’t get me started on this. Of course,...

June Bug
A plump beetle, quite clumsy and grand, Flew right into a fan in the stand. With a whirring ker-splat, He was flat as a mat, Now just dust in the palm of your hand. Date: June 8, 2025 Sponsor's name: Andrea Dietrich Contest name: High Fives for June Poetry Contest ...
