Authorities of Classic Art
Using ink instead of oils or water to paint a pallet dry

Mixing words into elix
To create book's without pictures 

So as the blind can rejoice as well
In words that bind us all together 

Life , Loss , Longing , Loving
Belonging ,  Betrayal 
Power , Struggle , Death
Family , Foe's 
Verses and Prose

The words that which we daily quote
When called upon to speak
Directly from the heart

While all the while never knowing
They are reciting words from a poem
Or classical works of Art

Of an Author they could not even name
Nor actually in reality know


I Do Not Know the Secret

I Do Not Know The Secret...,
Asper Art Of Writing Acclaimed Poem...

Not purposeful intent,
when tasking self (Das Scribe)
a nondescript member of
*****sapiens village people tribe
metaphorical spear in hand ready

to unbridal strong arm as vibe
resoundingly resonates, sans
(crackles, snaps, and pops)
optimal instant to expunge bribe
bing fountainhead of creativity
oft times screed or futile diatribe

no matter smug satisfaction appeased
as mental delectation on par with eclair
for taste buds, a reward dare,
I acknowledge mine appealing talent
(undoubtedly a slightly biased opinion)

with fast break for game of Solitaire,
or sink concentration matte tear
real awaiting with bated breath
comments, feedback, input...usually fair
to middling acceptable,

though frequent occasions blare
ring liberal dollop of adulation,
warms hearty cockles of this hermit
comfortably numb in his lair
which decency, humility, modesty...

of mine to avoid trumpeting pomposity
as if yours truly snooty billionaire
keeps in check (ma mate)
cognitive firmae tubby beware
boot up pawn occasion, the errant knight

within me finds ego expanding square
lee out beyond outer limits
of the twilight zone, where
entire cerebral cranium
shatters temple mount scare

ring eureka temporarily
finding me unaware,
viz blinding, deafening, and
obliterating brainstorm spate bare
lee delivering tummy any appreciable,

pronounceable, noticeable... impact
relishing this devil may care
state of being if only...threadbare
tenuous consciousness endured
sustaining oblivious blissfulness

absentmindedness forever delivering cheer
full countenance of mine finding me
unafraid of Virginia Woolf, a bugbear,
and/or he who dons most powerful paw
he can render complex edifice

of democracy to disappear
thus...after shaking wordy playwear
an early plug to vote November 2020
due to here
about nine months and one year.

When wracked with suff'ring even more,
     I all alone bemoan my fate,
as one who drowns in sorrows sore
     which harm, harass, and maul his state.

Aggrieved for what feels like forever,
     I trouble God with bootless cries
as I endure my manic fever
     with tearful, red, psychotic eyes.

The minute hand lands on midnight!
     I can't find clear words to express
feelings of falling a headlong height
     b'neath heaven's reach 'yond grief's excess. 

Inside, I feel the Reaper’s scythe
     as I think out my mordant plan:
razor, pills, or a kitchen knife,
     a way to end it by my hand!?

Like Sylvia Plath, if I can
     plant my head in a GE gas oven,
then it’d be painless!? (But why plan
     a death so cliche, and unproven?)

I think, too, of Virginia Woolf,
     how she drowned her life in a lake;
I, too, feel swallowed in a gulf
     of swirling misery that'd take

me to my death! Why do I feel
     forsak'n, and heavy as lead now? Am
I so hopeless? Why do I feel
     so worthless, and so so dead? How am

I to end my life (to kill myself)—
     if all loved ones were then to miss me?
“Help yourself!” I then heard. "Heal thyself!" 
    I hear aloud. As angels kiss me,

I thus then found comfort in this:
     that family and friends all care,
and if I'd died I would be missed;
     so, I war 'gainst profound despair.

And then, Hope dawns! And soon comes peace…
     And in the morn, I wake arising—
Joy breaks in, and I have new lease.
     And then my state I cease despising!

50 Words For Poe: Wolf

"50 Words for Poe: Wolf"



He watches the Asylum.
Silently soft paw bides his time and grins

He doesn't dig Haiku
Impromptu is more his thing

Give a dog a bone

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

“The wolf said, 
"You know, my dear, it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone."

She said,
 "I find your sexist remark offensive in the extreme, but I will ignore it because of your traditional status as an outcast from society, the stress of which has caused you to develop your own, entirely valid, worldview. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way.”

Set the Grass on Fire/Elysian Fields



The wolf said,
“Of course you aren't scared of me. I'm not the wolf. You are.” 

“There's no limit to you, is there?”
 Edward Albee, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Premium Member Ever-Changing Fall

"And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves..." - Virginia Woolf

When sun grows stingy in the sky
melancholy wilts happy flowers

summer’s long days will be fading away
when trees announce fall’s coming 
in their brightest attire

Gold and Crimson waltz
in autumn’s cooling breezes.
Pumpkins wear strange grins!
Summer’s obituary 
by this time has been planted.

when rivers and lakes
solidify into ice . . .
december skates in

Premium Member Poetry has died

Poetry has died replaced 
with raining madness cunning 
thoughts battered heart 
bickering minds the absence 
of simplicity a calming time 
the laughter of Amos and Andy 
reading of Langston Hughes the 
braising nesting belligerent from
Ernest Hemingway mingling with
this fondness of Robert frost 
the bold sassiness of Maya Angelo 
mastering the crafty sinking mental 
turmoil of Virginia woolf needing to 
die to be heard cradled beneath 
painful sighs of Emily Dickenson 
brillantly craving morbid hints of a 
pastel death blooming tangible 
lessonscovenant only by dramatic 
hues canvases Jane Austin's youth
bestowing the missing pieces to 
caressing thought of the creative 
mind separating emotions embracing 
thee enchantment of the  galloping 
Greek muses within a moment of 
silence poetry is simply no more

Premium Member It's a Langston Hughes kind of day

It's a Langston Hughes kind of day 
filled with dutiful hints of Robert frost 
within the sudden humor and vague 
eccentricity of Ernest hemmingway 
the quiet freedom of Nikki Giovanni 
with a cunning soul shaking enlightment 
of Maya Angelo tinged with the noble
excitement of John keats as the clouds 
move into this rapture an intriguing sheer 
fondness of William butler Yeats while 
the soft dem lights over the lake hits 
my minds eye just so as I'm quite 
taken by the sinking thoughts of 
Virginia woolf beckoning my innermost 
calm peeking through wooden slats 
exposing the granduer of Gwendolyn Brooks 
smile mastering greatness beneath broken 
planks on the sunscreen porches even so 
i dare change a thing about this glorious 
day this Langston Hughes kind of day

Dosage

growing up
my body 
stopped

sane brain
chemicals
that are in

others naturally
passed by me
completely

stopped

reflecting
because
not absorb

ing i've been
reflecting
lately on

my childhood
and misunderstood
of who i was or would

become

so many factors
in making a fact
ory made human

being by being
programmed
without yet

within but not
knowing what
is missing and

so i grew up

a short history
no mystery of
what i've be

come since Mum was 
always randomly turn
ing the radio dial of

reality so we grew
knowing and knew
all styles and forms

but adding more

my Dad military sworn
dictated discipline but
also liberalism since

he was an artist of many
sorts and banned books
were in our library

paint was freely fingered
for feel and application
no matter what our

family's destination

on the move from 
place to place
always some

thing new to see and
taste leaving a mind
open that had already

been cracked i look
back and remember
what doctor's didn't

know then

so now here i am
in the here and now
thinking i'm a free

thinker but as music
plays continuously
in my elevator mind

i'm going up and or
down without a
ground wire

so now i am

a brain in a b movie
beaker keeping
kept in bodily

form from turning
Virginia Woolf or
Platt or perhaps

Hemingway since
i'm a man so can
relate but too late

my psychiatrist

and i have found
a proper balance
in mind meaning

my mind for what
was not provided
for if so Darwin

would have had me
extinct by now not
able or capable

to survive

so pharmaceuticals
balance my attitude
and keep me alive

then after years of
song singing i was
being bored

by the musical form
so changed my mind
to my university degree

i had for all time

then i knew not
by chance but
a strictly not

happenstance
when you were
introduced to

me, i, like a junkie
had the fix and
like an election 

my votes are all in
and as i A D D
i simply need sleep

and 
another
dose of

you

Premium Member Remember, You



“Remember, You”

This one is for you,
when you forget to remember
why, what and who

This one is for you,
when you understand
the why and what you do;

This one is for you,

when you search for words
buried deep within your hidden heart 
elevated Shadow in skies of lapis lazuli blue, when 
clouds of poetic mists distract your heady lofty view

This one is for You,
when you forget to remember
why, what and who.
Poet - 

Remember, You.


Candide Diderot. ‘25









"The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mold of the body and mind." 
Virginia Woolf



"A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds." 
Percy Bysshe Shelley



"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." 
Plato



"A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman."
Wallace Stevens

Premium Member Create a Narrator

who isn’t you

wise readers
will know the difference

I want a narrator
more unsettling
than Nabokov created
for ‘Lolita’

I want a narrator
to cringe at
while sympathizing with

I need “milk plus”
from ‘Clockwork Orange’
while I learn the dialect
of Anthony Burgess
before I ruin Beethoven

It takes sustained energy
to hate a character
while never forgetting them

“My vanity
was the cause
of it”

I still wink at you,
Moll Flanders
a woman too clever
for shallow understanding

My “androgynous mind”
will have to be enough
for adequate love,
Virginia Woolf

I have all the worst intentions:
devious dialog
with peppered,
cutting
fashion statements
to make phantom readers
laugh and scowl

Cruella Deville
taught me everything
one late afternoon
in August
while we hunted swans
over toast points
and caviar
