So, what is the best theme for
a poem?  No guarded secret, all themes --

I was enthralled by the questions you asked
And the way you answered, I was indeed...

Oldd the Days
Old are they; those fables
Green they seemed so idle,
murrain of theirs still but
stand.

Odd how all of us prattle
Lads indeed we still are

Old; we wot these birds
their silent screams,

Farmers Till
(El Niño and desertification…..)

Broken land has long since died,
clouds now for years have lied.
The awaited rains so often fail.
Million’s hearts with hunger wail.
Scorching sun bears to burn.
Hardened tilth, refuses to turn.
No burden beast left with...

Premium Member Yesterday’s Wishes
Back when girlish daydreams 
rode the ether like coal-glowy-clouds
my featly feet kept a beat in spring grass 
as I flounced with Romany winds—
breezy-gypsy-lips brushed my cheek 
as I whirled in his imaginary arms
‘til I fell...

Untold Stories
Reminiscing past helps to remember;
thinking past events helps to remember
how simple acts brought people together;

Those past acts helped them at their crisis hours.
Timely past actions helped at crisis hours.
Heard their woes, truly tried to dry...

God's Canvas
He scraped the paint from his pallet and smeared it on his canvas
On his mind was a folksy sun rise
A glowing medallion, triumphant
Blazing in orange, yellow and red
Seagulls flying over the horizon bed.

Bog
Knowing how to feel, what more is there to know?
Knowing how to entertain
What must I do to ascertain the feeble heart?
Standing at the precipice
How I hate this state of confusion I’m in
Unraveling from every seam

Oktober Fest in America
If Harris chooses to have beer,
They hoist a message more than mere,
It’s like October Fest
In November, no haste!
Sails rudderless poll boat,
Who knows how people vote?
Guesses gallop, go in top gear.

That blooms in the garden of love
A citrine California poppy
That attracts everyone.

Crumlin, of a Sunday
The rain. Unrelenting.
Cats and dogs. 
The dreary architecture of the souless
 grey-brown urban landscape 
worthy of the matchstick man fella
But. Hopeful.
The smokers hunched by the bookies,
 beside the battlecruiser. Handy. 
A cosy camaraderie with a...
