By Elton Camp

Mr. Matsuo Basho
danced his words with delight
making better poets of us all.

Mind is like a tornado whirling around and around
Many letters and words I need to find.

Ink a new write as feelings surge;
Meet migrant sway as rhymes reap say;
Emerge to cite a visual urge.


Life calls to soul to play the fool;
Opt to be free...

A Poet , a dreamer , a man named Michael.
Named after my father and also a saint.
Drifting through time with my pen I paint.
Just a soul gliding in and out of God's cycle.

Or maybe a short story or two.
The page is blank, what to write,
At that moment I haven't a clue.

Ol’ brazen Brenda, battlin’ biography,
Banters bewildered brave boatmen at sea,
Brushstrokes besieging her beleaguered brain,
Broadsided by fiction now baking insane;

so many questionable words-  I must say;

in dusty odd piles and boxes they lay.

We meet once a week, an odd group of poetic friends-
Hannah is from Atlanta and wears a bandana,

unremembered memories
unbidden guests

And suckled in silence
‘til lifeblood waned
vitality drained
only traces remain
of who I was

Now I have become
an ungracious host
shadowy ghost
in a hollow shell
with nothing to feed
these guests’ great need

Use each new write to fund new feel;
Note that sure plan to skim the cream;
Keep words you cite in calm appeal;
Nice moves blooms trends with ample schemes;
Observe the veil that hides the play;
Watch how things...
