Long Rhymers Poems

Dear Sprouting Rhymers,


To me, modern poetry could be most simply put as “everything”,
     everything that you see, experience or feel put into words.
Everything written to evoke thought and feeling in others...

Is it a butterfly out in the blue,
poised in its daintily delicate flight—
nebula N G C six three oh two—
offering rhymers a poem to write?

In our galaxy, that is the Way Milky,
with structure bipolar in...

my dearest wish before I go,
is not to be a posthumous poet!

As I write to satisfy my poetic drive,
praise that’s priceless...

High noon announced the duel of the giants

Poetry and Hip Hop gunslinging the date was set

From flagrant fraudulent fancies
Of overwritten odius odes.

Scuddle Butt and Martzy Putt, those two nonsense senior rhymers,
Drank.  Yes, drank too much beer anticipating Christmas cheer.

Departed poems in a gray post-dated heaven
clatter wings together like hens in a jailers coop.
Words never die, they bury themselves in
heaps of dry leaves, distant laughter scatters
the sadly said.

I'm a prisoner of my own verse,

Boldly boasting ballads.
Can't construct cinquain,

Luminates lovers learning.

Masters manage monoku.
No one notices nonsense.
Only ones own...
