Premium Member The Composer
I am 1,248 songs of complicated rhythm. Prose and verses tell a story of my decisions…my indecision. I am skin shaped, in 42 different shades of foolery, a life lover doing my best to avoid an other, but they seem to be everywhere these days. Crawling out from under rocks, or latent in my twisted...

Premium Member Write on Poetry
What inspires me are the trees that surround me, how they green in the Spring, how starlings become leaves in the Winter, and the melodies of sparrows, bluebirds and robins tug at my heart. What inspires me is watching my grandkids, they’re verve, vigor, and nerve make me float; me and my muse amused by their mischief, compassion and funny business. What inspires...

Premium Member Fun Observations on Poetry
Like hard, dry toast, with no aroma, Poetry minus heart and soul, puts me in an endless coma! My brain short circuits, the longer the poem! I get a poetic seizure and my mind is lost and endlessly roams. Then come the poets, who are would-be philosophers! As fascinating, and exciting as wooden bean counters. Finally, those poets, who think the...

Premium Member Final Word
After eighteen years Of sharing thoughts and fears Enthusiasm no longer drips from my pen And I'm afraid it never will again I was just a boy when I began this path Sharing all of my anguish and wrath But the flame inside me has finally died And I feel like my tongue is tied I accomplished more than I thought I would And...

Premium Member I Don't Crush on Poetry But ---
I'm not emotional about poetry to call it a 'crush' Sometimes I get ideas, but hardly ever in a rush to write them down like I have a bee in my bonnet I'm not prone to compose a Shakespearian Sonnet Rumor is that I like to crush people to be an irritation and every time I hear that crap, it's...

PORTFOLIO CAREER
PORTFOLIO CAREER One could say I’ve had a portfolio career Starting off researching in pharmacology Slow solid progress, but make no apology But no drug found to save mankind, I fear I dallied with training some clients to drive I also designed a machine to analyse EEG Otherwise known as brainwaves, you see But it was for other goals I had to strive Then...

Come Back
With blood on the line He's sent down deep into an abyss By his chosen true deeds All trusted allies With blood on the line He's been defamed Hell infringing upon his days He melds, yeah, he's made Unto him who listens amiss Like a river wouldn't flow aback He's been done hard about He's back, yeah back and stronger With blood on the line Like a ragged-fine...

Premium Member Musings On Poetry
Looking for a punch line, the plot of thought was lost but strong was call of rhythm, though it came at the cost, of a soiled algorithm. Looking for a punch line, although irrelevant, spontaneity died and as oft is the case, dweller of our heart sighed. Looking for a punch line, a forceful quietus, lazy reader addressed but those who’d feel the mist, shuddered at notes compressed....

Premium Member The Problem With Friday's
The problem with Friday’s Is as I do my emails I forget how to spell Wednesday And all my confidence fails It’s a perplexing condition When you can’t figure out what’s the cost And all your balancing actions Have all seem to been lost Take a walk down regret lane You’ve seemed to have wasted a week And the secondhand circling Makes you remember what You forgotten...

Half-Empty Love
Half empty love, a bitter truth, A tale of pain and love uncouth, Of relations that failed to last, Of hearts that shattered like broken glass. Flipped coins and cents of life, A gamble that caused us strife, A love that promised joy and bliss, Now just a memory that we miss. We thought we had it all, A love that would never fall, But...
