Long Jotting Poems

This situation has no basis in reality; in fact, it is ludicrously unreal. However, the likes and dislikes shown of its author are completely true!

Scene: A comfortable office where Andrea Dietrich is finishing up with...

Just a couple weeks ago the boss called in an ad, hoping we could find a guy to fill Bill Daly’s shoes.
Bill had fallen victim to the same thing that his dad had,...

Dear Budding Poet,

Modern poetry is a mix of new and old with modern styles created by bending or even breaking the rules of old forms to create new ones.
Express yourself any way you want to...

You dig into my skin with your claws of distrustful disdain
Why don’t you welcome the Healing rain?
I promise that it will wash away the troublesome pain 
That bullies you to the extreme – try, darling,...

After a confrontation with ben an old friend
I managed to  push the violent fight for later in the day 
Two thirty pm, to be exact I say 
Couldn’t even go to lunch with the...

(Authors Note: Be advised; this poem contains some non-delicate language but
it does have fewer calories than other similar generic poems)

 
Crimes of the future wait like raw sausages
Fat fingers in the eye of justice
Blind, inevitable,...

While eating my morning bread,
A sudden impulse struck my head,
What if my mother doesn't get paid
No food; a voice from inside said
So simply that means you are dead….

What am I thinking; my first question to...

They told me, stay away from you, because you had a past,
They told you that I’d be no good, my future would not last,
But your past is all lies,
And no one realized,
That I could get...

Overdosing (rather binge reading) thesaurus...

Where does one begin to write,
away from the streets' nioses and children's screams,
forgetting those bouts of loneliness
that evade the inner peacefulness?
One starts with a pad, jotting down appealing ideas...
never having to fear they'll be lost.

I used to write like
Jack Kerouac.
Words
crumbling down
paper. 
Stark thoughts
marked
by dots
and dashes.
 
Flashes of schoolyard brilliance
The hill I would
climb over
to be
someone different. 
I never saw life
through a dot.
LSD.
My father
was on mushrooms,
when he and my mother
created me.

Google the world till you find me,
Draw closer; grip my heart and never let go,
Numerous moons have passed; countless suns have shone,
Yet my dream is curtailed,
I have unturned the blue; unzipped the stars looking for...

Human, I am...
with a nagging existential curiosity 
about people, nature, and life in general. 
A spiritual being, I am...
I indulge in woolgatherings and strolls.
A poet, I am... 
I'm always doing the cha-cha-cha with my muse.

January:
Journey into an another Era
with many aims still raw
begins with a Jaunty January
into a heart throbing journey.
 
February:
Flower in fine fields flow
into a stream and film of rows
It is the quite Freezy February
welcomes us with...

You say I do not
love you
Because I am not
steadfast
Because I change
with each day
Because I shed
aspects of yesterday
And love you less
with each new season
But forget that I
have loved you
always
Not less than before
but in a new way

Illustrious? Too sophisticated.
Advanced? Sounds too modern.
Awkward? Not in the mood yet.
Animalistic? A nice ring, bereft of a special ring.
Will consider it for later though. Jotting it down now.

I could cut up some onions. I got...

Though some are remembered for terrible acts

I have been challenged

To everyday

Just WRITE SOMETHING

You’d think that’d be a simple task

Since I call myself a writer

Just WRITE SOMETHING

Isn’t as easy as it seems.

What am I supposed to write

When all I’m trying to do...
