Premium MemberIn Short Supply

I notice the things everyone else overlooks
while they are busy trying to grab content.
Hindered by a host of hot button hooks
it’s the details that memorex sentiment. 

Phantom scent you will not taste again 
keeps coming back until you write it out.
A fierce ache waits to transform your pen. 

Trace it behind your eyes with pink neon 
so it is crystal clear when the day is done. 

Catching the line that was slightly jagged
changed that repro into a masterpiece. 
The flash of brilliance my eyes snagged
served only to let the zeitgeist increase.

All five of my senses remain on high alert,
it’s hard to put into words a poet’s intuition.
Fantasy and reality inspire when they flirt.

Something inconsequential as you walk by  
is that writer’s high in such short supply.


Premium MemberShake It Up, Gershon

       Not too many fellow poets read my lines anymore
          I’m either rather predictable or a total bore

       So, I’ve read the tea leaves; I’ve got to change
          My mental approach I need to rearrange

       Instead of couplets, should I write sonnets?
          Or on every rhyme, put  more spin on it?

       I’m not sure, but something’s got to give
          ~ unless with a handful of readers I’m content to live

Premium MemberTitled Defeats

I attempted to write
another poem today

attempted

for no poem is complete
learned representative of one’s
best 

each merely prelude
to hopefully an ever higher
quest -- 

Each poem, a tower platform

Each poem a Babel, destined
to fall short~ for each, his own
lyric god unreachable
-----------------------------------
I have attempted thousands already

Have published thousands, sharing 

publicly my many, titled defeats --

Premium MemberCut Her Some Slack

    Some nights she can write about anything
         Her imagination simply takes wing

     On other nights, she cannot
         ~ She’s a poet, not a robot

Premium MemberBut who will free the poetry

But who will free the poetry
Of its endless binding history
In doing so free you and me
To write as if we’re truly free

Of meters lockstep droning march
Of lifeless linen, too much starch
Tongues twisted by alliteration
Trains of words leaving the station

But who will free the poetry
Still locked within the who of me
Until I shout – “just let it be”
For poetry’s always been free

Its forms a method to a means
Ekphrasis words creating scenes
Of city streets in tattered jeans
Fairy tales of rescued Queens

So, fill the page with loving’s rage
A gentle breeze on windblown sage
Release the Kraken of the mind
Rescue the poet left behind


Premium MemberYellow Roses


Yellow roses.
One stunning sight

Yellow roses.
It just seems right

Yellow roses.
She makes me write

Yellow roses.
Of them I read

Yellow roses.
Not roses red
Nor roses pink
Not roses white
Nor roses purple

Yellow roses.
Saw them differently today.
Read of a yellow rose I say.
She was named 'The Poet's Wife'.

Premium MemberThe Pensive Poet

The Pensive Poet Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Constance La France
By Poet "Oh yes, 100% human here. No AI for me."
Come let me tell you a story, how writers once wrote. They wrote from their loving hearts, telling stories in different styles. Some were rhymes or funny limericks, verse was a favorite along with a tanka. I find acrostic to be fun, but taking more thought and time. Today this new thing called AI, is the new kid on the block. AI has no loving heart to write with, yet many readers have been blinded. I put much thought and reflection, into each poem for my readers. A true writer writes because they love to, also writing for their many readers.

Premium MemberPoetry

As I sit up and lay in my bed
Poetry comes to my mind in my head
I write them down without hesitation 
They calm my soul like frequent meditation
I love to read them after they are written
Because I shock myself with the words as they become sentences
People say you're talented, and that might be true
Their just words from my head, and it a great view 
I can't believe it sometimes, the finishing touch seem so real
Some people don't like to read them, some make a big deal
But it's not all about what anyone thinks 
This just brings joy to my heart, because I try to represent

Premium MemberTribute to an Unknown Poet

“Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”
— Thomas Gray, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard


Well known or not, we write our poetry
Our inner souls reflected in our ink
Also influenced by our family tree
We every now and then cause some to think

The years pass by and then away we go
Well known are some, but others not so much
‘Tis easier to honor those we know
While unknowns by the wayside fall as such

Each unknown poet lived a real life too
Their love of verse sprang from their dear hearts’ wells
Their memory forgotten, but still true
For remembrance and respect we ring the bells

This tribute to an unknown poet’s life 
Shows that we care and mitigates our strife

Premium MemberAbracadabra

a word
another word
a line
a verse
             pulling
             a 
             rabbit
             out
             of 
             a
             hat
imagination incantation
  ghosts of poets past
         abracadabra 
           I’m a poet

Premium MemberMeet a Genius

   
              The erstwhile poet chose
                to write hideous prose
           
              Narratives of mangled fingers
                 of twisted elbows linger

              Hardening readers’ hearts 
                 though they could not bear to part

               from every line the genius wrote
                  his brilliance in sickening verse cloaked

Premium MemberForevermore

"It takes a real heart to write forevermore." By Poet
Here I sit with pen in hand, staring at a blank notepad. I need many letters, to make my words come alive. I thought I was a writer, but as I sit here I wonder. Poems come from the love of writing, writing about the past or about the present. Poems can be true or false, some will make you cry and others will make you laugh. True writers write from their heart, as the ink rushes through their veins. Now the words flow faster then I can write, don't think, just write. The writer and reader are both in love, in love with letters, words, sentences and reading. Now I am writing away, forevermore.

Premium MemberWhy Does A Poet Write?

“The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. That’s what poetry does.” — Allen Ginsberg”


What drives them to put pen to paper?
To be famous is that their caper?

The world to change?
Tell a story so strange?

Is it a more personal flaw?
Drawn the short straw?

Life made them feel dismay?
They have to live this way....

Prone to despair
Pull out their hair?

Caught in a landslide
Can't escape the ride...

They can analyse
Maybe even surprise

Put words to their feelings
They may even do healings

A pen you did choose
Your ideas more than clues

Why does a poet write
Because they can..... alright

We need to feel the cheer and inspiration of meeting
each other, we need to gain the courage and fresh life that comes from mingling of congenial souls of those working for the same ends
Quote by Josephine St Pierre Ruffin 
   Publisher and Journalist


We mingle with like minded people here
across this worldly spectrum we appear.
A melting pot of thoughts turned into words
each one unique, when passion has occurred.

Yes, writing is a solitary game
however when you think, we're all the same.
Our universal language when we write
when mixed together makes us all unite.

Therefore, we mingle in our hearts and mind
creative forces seen when we're combined.
We are our words when all is said and done
We bare our soul with each and everyone.
