Premium Member Went Fishin'
Submitted to the "Gone Fishin" contest
------------------------------------------------
Trollin’ the islands at Texoma,
It was April, 1964.
New rod and reel in hand,
I’d NEVER been fishing before.

A Garcia 2510T casting rod.
The reel, a Mitchell 301,
Plus hand-selected worms and lures…
I was...

Premium Member The Old Sofa and the Fly On the Wall
That furniture at Grandma’s house has never had a;
Behind, sit down directly on it-
The plastic had duct tape overtop
Where something sharp had pierced a hole
This sofa, that had lasted 30 years… unscathed.
The sofa also had...

Pen Power
Pen Power
By Spidey Williams
Question: How Much Power Can A Pen Have Realistically?
Your freedom walks when my pen talks!
Angels no longer sings when I erase dreams,
With the stroke of a pen my friend.
Your thoughts cease from...

Two Line Thoughts
Sometimes you must lose all you felt you once needed
But all you ever feel is cheated

You can't pull diamonds from the sky
There is no constellation prize

You’ll never be happy, never complete
To you there’s only a...

Echos
Creaky wood floors give me away as
I roam the hallways of this ramshackle fortress.
These old empty veins that used to carry life
Rusty nerves are dulled and mute

I walk a well worn path, softly.
Curtains always drawn
They...

The Gift of a Day
How much we take for granted
Our rousing each and every morn
Whilst yet forgetting the many
Who not quite unlike ourselves
Did enounce "See you tomorrow"
Only to exit the stage before the play is done.

How many times do...

a mirror sea for endless blue transparency-

garden variety of pleasures appears, obligatiry-

Walking For the Poor Woman
Every day you walk down town and smile as you get to that bench
You see her in the same old spot, she sits there every week
She plays a song, while her children dance
And you listen...

Take Me With You
If you go downtown early morning
You can see the shopkeepers setting
Old treasures on the sidewalk,
Writing their welcomes with chalk
On little standing blackboards,
Inviting you inside their stores.

Honeysuckle Antiques has its window
Filled with newfound things to show,
Local...

You snapped me like a pencil between your fingers in a burst of insecurities, but that was never part of...

My Nikon
Like my innate need for eating
Walking, sleeping, and waking
Photography seemed inborn in me.
My heart and mind could make it free.
Clicking photographs of black and white
With a Click-III, a camera, very light.
I found Isoly II cheap...

My roses shoot bullets and my poems never miss like they're shooting blanks
Even though the expression on their face is sometimes blank
Me, I prefer my expressions stank
Faces from the crowd 
Metaphors got you high every...

The End of the Beginning
The epitome of basic, a truest design.
Yet that's what everyone wants, a world worth the pine. 
Black polaroid shirt and white converse shoes, 
anxiety eating her alive as she thinks the thought of you.
Shaking legs...

Still a Kite Runner
Don’t be sad over what you have lost, 
Smile for what you had.
If you inflict pain in every memory, 
Each memory then turns bad.

Just close your eyes and picture them, 
Like the polaroid photo you...

Pictures of the Past
The stilled portrait tells of a past
A past where the painted girl in blue ran wild
Dandelions clutched in her small fists
A penny in a wishing well
Her ear pressed to a conch
Wanting
Hoping
Needing to know you really...

I have a great piece coming up. This isn’t it, I misplaced it,
but as soon as I find it, I’ll post it. This one is less-than-perfect.

Obviously
Mary Moorman took a Polaroid snap of
John Kennedy at the exact moment he
received his fatal head wound.  Her
picture has fuelled many conspiracy
theories.

Framing Moments Past
Hazy pictures were displayed
Old oaken frames contained them
Hanging slight off kilter right
  The walls littered like leaves in autumn lawns
Grandma keeps glimpses of every leaf pile we made

Remember that Day?  Indepence Day, we...

Facebook Selfies
A closet hangs with ideas from Facebook posts past.
Tags still hang from pretty purchases, 
nobody tagged in posts never made.
I sigh as I struggle in arms and poke through my big head.
