Circus Life
Circus Life
Inside, it smells like death and pain.
And two beasts guard
the heart of my brain.
Puzzles and pieces
scatter from the hilt.
My spine breaks under
this mountain of guilt.
Colors and feelings
are nothing compared to
believing
The awful stench
inside my head.
Bleeding with ink
and clouded with dread.
Beast number one rears its

A Bookish Bound Man Obsessed For Knowledge Crafts Long Poem
1.
This hunger artist cannot read
volumes of printed material fast enough
to satiate an immense appetite
and unquenchable thirst
to acquire learning from
the millenniums gushing fount of
cumulative chance revelations,
(or deliberate intent to validate
a premise vis a vis via
private investigative research),
thus unwittingly setting alight
an intense inquisitiveness sans
this curious

Not a Long Poem
I'm making this brief
to spare you the grief
of having to scroll even once
You see by the title
that this here recital
ain't one of my long-winded stunts
It's not a long poem
there's no need to roam
all over the place for your fix
If rhythm's your need
you'll be happy indeed
that I tossed this one into the mix
Now I'm almost

A Long Poem From a Brief Encounter
I saw him before I saw her…(I believe she was holding the door.)
There was a far away look in his eyes as he shuffled his feet on the floor.
I felt a twinge of sorrow for him as he slowly labored past
Each step seemed so difficult…more challenging than the last.
I saw her next when she caught

Yellow Winged Angel
I.
He was patient very-very
with child's tenderness in eyes
yellow winged angel's unwary,
He was living quiet in skies.
Without disputes, without roughness,
without want to weep and moan,
He was dreaming among heartless
building cloud castles alone.
He was waking up with dawning,
He was smiling gazing down,
His green eye was squinting wanting
to be liked in feathered gown
with the birds flied by

A Long Poem About Cyberspace and the People Who Live There
/by Vicki Acquah
Before, when we were young;
We were together all of us..
Awhile back when you were young,
I was youthfully older-We were
together back then as space and time
had arranged.
As some of us were offended
Never wanted to share the same space
here in cyberspace or on the planet earth;
But still the universe dictated

A Rambling Long Poem
(a spontaneous raw trip through my brain)
Come along and please bring just your open mind,
My thoughts sitting on so many fences I can't count.
Sharpening my wit on white picket points never forgotten;
Boundaries holding sickness of home within its grasp.
Kicking a can down only road I ever knew at that time;
Highways now rushing me to unknown
