Long Flash point Poems

I I’m constantly rehearsing 
On my versing 
Never sliding or swerving
My Rhymes play
Like a wordsmith
I’m Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult
Remembering to stay humble
And claim my guilt and my fault
The Wisest Man once said what’s...

Evening shadows
Old tree aglow;
Windy echoes

Sadness teary
Wet wild night;
Croaking frogs talk

Dream flash point
Forgotten fragment;
Feeling...

porcelain image fest
for staunch earthbound...

my countenance so much so little
To soon too late 
wishing I may....
