Premium Member Dangling Short-Lines Over Water-Falls
Oh, dear reader of short-line poems, are you, like me, short of breath? Have you tried to read my short-shift stuff, with ever so short-lines, Aloud? It's sad to say it sounds a tad choppy! Like it's, ridin' on bobbin' seas, sailing into a head-wind over the air-ways. It rollicks along with carriage returns, unwinding, flowing freely from margins set tight, to waterfall. Sad to say, I'm done with it! For me personally, a poem is just a thought, a heady daydream...

The blurred lines between childhood and adulthood
When the lines are blurred How can we tell who we are anymore How do we know when innocence begins and when it ends Or if it ever really happened At all This was not everyone's experience But it was black children's For a black boy who had to be a man Before he could be a child...

Lines That Entangle
The curse of the writer woo’s angels and devils Chasing the daylight far into the night Each phrasing an omen of hope or foreboding With lines that entangle — in lost delight (Dreamsleep: June, 2025) ...

In Between The Lines
In Between The Lines To be discreet. Some will understand me. A time to write. A time to drink. Life with no boundaries. Toil in the night. Read in between the lines. Love writing. Always thinking. Empty pages. Poetry with coffee. Document your own journey. Own ideas. No limits. Ink on paper. Many new titles...

White lines not right lines
You stole her from me and I hate you for it, You're more fun than I am and I hate you for it, You give her more confidence than I can and I hate you for it, She'd rather spend time with you and I hate you for it, I'll be here when you're not and she'll love me...

BETWEEN THESE LINES
_______________________________________ Between these lines A poem starved of meaning lies Begging for redemption From injustice, hatred, and corruption. This poem is a mother One who stayed long after he left, the father. A young woman tracing love with blind hands A girl in a world where her rights are mistaken for demands. This poem is meaningless As spineless as a snail It makes no call...

Premium Member Nine Lines Striking a Pose
What nonet flaunts its lovely derrière? Then sings with sweet, buttermilk sound— with shape fully self-aware, in nine lines? Ass firm, round, curvaceous with flare: and so high, bound for beach wear, and found, here? ...

Letters, Lines
Lines in lightning carved in stone? Geoglyph, take form. Mile behind the melee zone? Keep the soldiers warm. Bright beside the boreal pole? Buildings in glass, shine. Heaven and Hell, thy control! Doom and Death, we dine! Trickle, time? Riddle or rhyme? Boxes, sheath the mime. Dynamite, done on a dime? Skidding in the slime... Forlorn and forgotten? Adventure, dare to seek? Render red run rotten? Ergo, the boneyard creak. Sleek...

EIGHT BEAUTIFUL LINES
EIGHT BEAUTIFUL LINES Filled with peachy pleasure in parsley pastures I eye eagle elegantly elevate in elongated flight warriors wonder wisely about rising Sun whispering wondrous worldly wishes across abiding angelic appled air spun elves and fairies pirouette in royal ribbons blue with mystics maypoling as kittens mew a mistletoe mist of fat figs feasting true...

Premium Member Between The Lines - excerpt
Stirred. Blurred. Deferred. A haze of thoughts. In the raw. Unprocessed unpolished. Ethereal feral. Impulses really. I might drown. A sea of ambiguity. Random content in my private universe. At times, I want to scream and be heard. But all in time that can’t be rushed ~ Excerpt from Collaboration with Kirk Tierney, based on my poem 'Writing Is How I Connect'/ Painting by Suzanne Van Bebber AP: Honorable...

Lines in the Dust
In the summer heat of '47's cry, A line was drawn beneath the sky. Not ink, but blood, not words, but flame— Two nations born, but none the same. Fields once golden, shared with grace, Now whispered names in a stranger’s place. Neighbors turned to fleeing feet, Homes abandoned, hearts incomplete. The Ganga wept, the Indus roared, As trains of silence onward soared. One carried...
