Long George harrison Poems

Nineteen hundred and sixty-one,

Born into a landscape,
Not quite littered with landmines, 
But the occasional hole - 
Holes that seem inescapable,
Like quicksand -
When I fall, I just keep falling.  
Where is the bottom, the nadir?
It's impossible to know.
It's...

With every delicate, red, mysterious rose,
A proverbial, wounding thorn ...

A life of "quiet desperation";
Holy apparition, manifestation,
Suburban confession:

Poetry Soup Is…

A place to post words and be heard
a platform for prose, a poet’s eatery
A sonneteer’s palace, for the sagacious or the absurd 
A silver chalice that pours golden poetry
Rhymed and skillfully quilled 
Artful...

We grew up with a love for nature
In messages from the trees, the flowers…the ocean we discovered our salvation…
and once a feeling imprints onto your heart and soul…
It leads to a lifetime infatuation.

We also grew...

You’d recreate a military hero?
Macarthur, maybe? Nimitz? Pershing? Sherman?
Or would you choose a leader from the past?
Suppose you went for Mussolini – Nero –
(I can’t remember what they called that German):

That sweet singing guitar, 


Magic from finger tips 


When only tender thirteen 


George, you serenaded me 




That boy in awe, 


This man still is 


Your wonderful quiet demeanor, 


Spoke volumes of you 




My heart softly...

"Kiss the Leopards" 

Kiss the leopards
before dying
confiscate their spots
for memories
ever changing 
to place as stars

on blank canvas
clean sheets for clouds
waving sober dreams
turning pages...
