Premium Member If I Were a Font

If I were to be a font, 
I wonder which font I would be?
Calibri and Arial are nice, but a little too common for me.

If I were to be a font, 
I would pick which one with care;
Old English Text, French Script and Matura are cool, but I don’t quite have that flare.

If I were to be a font,
I think it would have to be bold;
Aharoni, Copper Black and Elephant might all be in the fold.

If I were to be a font,
It would have to be descript;
Baskerville Old Face, Broadway and Forte my personality just doesn’t fit.

If I were to be a font,
I would want to be understood;
Times New Roman, Century and Courier, I think, all would be good.

If I were to be a font,
I wonder which font I would be?
And whatever font I happened to be,
I hope that you would choose me.

Premium Member Non-Descript

A non-descript morning of gray
Gray like the eyes of wolves
In the deep forest at daybreak 
Sun chasing night with staves 

A faint lavender horizon
That touches distant fog
A silver blanket caresses
The valley and the bog

Crickets outsound the roosters' crows 
The fog hinders crows rising
Such a delightful morn of music
Heart's chambers resounding

The coolness after Sunday's rain
Envelopes every trace
It is so uplifting to enjoy
A few minutes in this place

A true refreshing of the soul
As apricot paints the sky
The sun's rays the brush stroke and light
Delights the eyes with surprise

An orange sun peeks through the dark trees
Soon its light and warmth abound
A day more like fall will awake
Drying the dew from the ground

Blood Ink Infused Writing Heart Wishing Well

What I the things

I choose to write about

Come through my pen unto me 

Out of seemingly nowhere apparently 

So even I myself seldom do not know 

The places where my imagination goes 

In order to fetch and find them from 

Is often darker than the deepest

Color scarlet congealed and cellular 

Blood vein viscus red ink

That flows throughout and from my sanctity

Mind body soul heart head to toe

Best described as like a donation or transfusion

Alluding to reading again to this conclusion

Is the ink my thoughts and words

Merely simply just an illusion a trick 

I play unto myself but prefer to share with an audience

For the sole benefit of placating me

Rather than supposed to being

Of hopefully some use and help

To someone else suffering in need out there

Who unfortunately feels can relate and sees the world

As I do both them as well 

Poetry is an art form of blood letting

But although words are a rallying cry

A way or means to an end

Words not backed up with meaningful actions

Then becomes inconsequential and superfluous

Both worthless and demeaning no descript

And a sure fire sign that the undersigned author

Writes for no other reason than

To do so for the sole benefit of pleasing themselves

And my heart bleeds for them also as well

As they are the unfortunate kind and likes of people

Who will gladly and willing steal others

Pennies out cast into a wishing well

And yet still somehow be able to 

Sleep soundly well at night

Benign Bliss Burn

My limbs unlax,
stress leaking from my body and 
collecting like a basin of a
candle’s freshly melted wax;

One inhale of the plastic casket,
which burns judgingly in my back pocket,
is enough to dredge up the relaxation
my dreary, dramatic life has lacked,
smacking me in my temples 
with a dopamine-injected hand.

An inhale, a flurry of smoke,
smolders holes in my lungs
until it constricts and chokes
me, until its disguised benignant nature
reveals its true form;

Stimulants create my deliquesce,
allowing my brain much-needed bliss,
but in a fine, descript disclaimer
written in purposefully disappearing ink, it’s 
benevolence whispers addiction.

One More Absence

In front of a building, which takes up a block,
Was a garden with bushes that bloomed
And lovingly tended, with rope-like supports,
By a resident, so I assumed.

The colorful blossoms, appearing in spring,
Perked me up as I walked by each day
And I’m sure in the neighborhood, others who passed
Saw those flowers and felt the same way.

Then one morning some barriers blocked off the street
With a sign claiming, “Sidewalk repair”
And the following day I was saddened to see
That the garden was no longer there.

In its stead was a non-descript sidewalk, fresh paved,
So the building looked plain and forlorn,
One more casualty seen in the city today,
One more absence that I get to mourn.

Pieces

Oppressive bells that tolls beyond descript
Oppressive walls with eyes that weary not;
Beyond my measure, Shame that runs adrift
That need not be existing—like the dot,
Nor this behooveth not, expanding skies
Alive, unmoving trinity, aloof—
Aground and mired again, in age, the cries
That swing sideways, a pendulum's shamed proof!
In mourning's cauldron, flow within its reach
And sideways swinging, heavy brass adored.
So heavy tolling--snapping rope—a breach,
Set loose beyond descript, which was long scored;
	Unpeeling grey and gold, in pieces fell,
	All crumbled—Gone—the vacance, free to sell.

Lady Atmosphere



         She is a masterpiece of wild contradiction, 
fuse blown by a wick, of litmus tongue in your senses-
her moods shifting chameleonic shades everything at once
in candle wax trick or residue residing nowhere.
Heart's firework pinwheel blown 
by a wish everywhere
and summoned without lips service-
to neither Hades, Avalon nor Loch Ness, lore.

In her magic lies a silent non disclosure appeasment, 
a benediction like a life preserver of electric feel.
Her trinkets are cursed idols, in a pool of profoundness laid- imply at your feet, dewly spilled.
She sheds jade droplets of faceted
watershed moments,
strings them like pearls
to loose your balance on your
precipitated emotion.
She is "in the field"- set of runged abominations- 
of a fools notion.
Jade droplets of faceted conglomeration
bathed of precipitale- emotion- 
swimming your head like electric eel.

She is a storm brewing inside a jewel,
vagabond bauble non descript versing of
evident residual haunting your soul to steal-
new horizon, taunting virgin territory, with infatuation, lightning.

Underwritten page of felt covertly, subtly everything hunting, seasoned overtly sensory heightened display.
Moraed morals, moreover-sustained
of overlay fonting the atmosphere 
cover paged as she wears where she lays.

The sky, a distant dream in the ocean of her gaze,
Wind stripped bare in a pool of borrowed
rhymes swimming your head in amaze 
as we scramble for the right words to parlay 
in her charms way.

In her voice lies a silent romance
leaving more questions than answers in her wake,
as her moods shift, atelier 'steem-roller,
like runic winds
of intolerant display, mind, screen-controler.
Touchstones in a pool of profoundness,
sun ray sing song at hand after the reigns.

Premium Member The Hope Bug

I usually notice bugs right away. This one was no different.
The crux was, it was walking slowly up the wall behind my computer
As I was typing and I noticed it.
 
A roach? Not quite. Something with wings though. Fat.
Not brown, but not tan, an in-between non-descript color.
I watched it make its way up the wall, toward the ceiling.
 
I smiled at its tiny little delicate black legs. It had a cute head.
It stopped walking. Maybe its heart was beating fast now, scared?
It started again, straight up to the ceiling.
 
I watched it walk steadily along the top of the ceiling
South to north.  Not a really smart bug apparently.
It gave me incessant hope we may someday be getting spring…..

Premium Member Stories From a Wallet

Non descript brown wallet
Slightly bent at the edges
Indent of cards on leather
Inside is a Driver’s license
Credit card
Debit card
Building pass
Right hand side
Photos of children
Train pass
Metro card
Retail card from a drug store chain
Six singles in front
Larger denominations in rear
Five, tens and one twenty
Tucked behind the photos
Is an extra twenty dollar bill.

Thumbing through the wallet
Nothing else is found
Contents spilled out onto a formica desk
A life for all to see
Scrutinized under bright fluorescent light
Nothing extraordinary
Just everyday ordinary.

How do we tell the family?
