Plato and the Poet
Poetry, Plato says know it;
"Go," though, he says to the poet.
It's good to be good,
But be understood,
Best if you never do show it....

The girl who had a voice bigger than hatred But a heart that wanted to be acceptedShe was the girl that went unnoticed
She kept herself small, she didn't want to be the focus
But deep in her pockets
Her biggest secret
She was a poet
It wasn't some big revelation
Like she had already known it
Her lack of confidence wouldn't let her do it
But little did she know she was already chosen
When she was born her...

Never hung out in the subway

Edgar Allan Poe
It is the desire of the moth
for the star…..
- Edgar Allan Poe
I awoke this morning
to find the powdery imprint
of wings on a window
that must have been left
by a moth trying
to get in when it
careered full...

POETIC VAGABONDSPOETIC VAGABONDS
I always loved poetry for its succinctness, imagery, and simple profundity but never imagined myself as a poet. With a bit of nudging on my husband’s part, I dipped my quill into writing poetry. After a few initial false starts, I found my poetic voice and fell in love with writing poetry.

AI Poets-the Dastardly* Collaboration of Limericks written by Jan Allison,
Tom Cunningham, Tania Kitchin and Lin Lane
Here's a new flash, the latest scoop
There are parasites in the soup
AI bottom feeders
Poet superceders
Those who cannot write worth a poop
Artificial intelligence is smart
But never uses words found in the heart
Some dolts use it to cheat
Thinking they are...

In The Tears Of A StrangerI learned many things from him ...
That the trackless path
is gifted
to those
who believe
That the distance
between thoughts
can only be connected
by words
That the idea itself
is worthless
without the thing
it expressed
That tomorrow
is no more important
than yesterday
or today
That the bullfighter
must never die
with the bull
still alive
That revolution
is the truest place
where death
is reborn
That real courage
is only measured
by the one
sorely lacking
That...

Gathering of PoetsThe first Wednesday of the month
we sit around the table and share
poems written with care and revised.
We take in their shapes and forms
and read between the lines.
We gasp with wonder about creations
and search for other words
to make each verse stronger.
Each of us has written volumes by now
the lives we shared month-by-month.
A retired lawyer has returned
from...

ADHD - We can do hard thingsWe can do hard things
Yes we can, we can be the better man,
or woman.
If that seat looks uncomfortable,
bring a cushion.
We do not walk alone,
our world is not so dark
We all have our superpowers
and our individual spark,
We shine and make our mark.
And it shouldn’t feel scary,
we need to embrace the journey.
Jump into joy,

Unknown PoetI'm a poet
And I don't know it
My rhyme destroys
My pen is Poised
To trickle out
Some tale about
A butterfly
Or sunset sky
As sweet as jam
With rhythm slam
Dunk in your tea
My soliloquy
I'm a poet
Happy to show it
So on your bike
As I drop the mic
You may have guessed
If you passed the test
As you peruse
This...
