Midnight drive in absent minded dark Where wood poles are magnetic Where all the cardinal directions pull towards, The iron inside my heart burns to burst from my chest I have led all the metals and minerals inside of me To someplace astray I took a dizzying route I ambled from star to star To carve out incomprehensible constellations...

Premium Member Telephone Poles On a Country Road
Like telephone poles on a country road the years stretch endlessly before him One no different than the other an 'only family,' no sisters, no brothers The first stretch he calls 'office poles' pencil-sharpening, paper-shuffling ...

Our hearts are heavy with the world's woes. It seems lies and hate follow wherever one goes. Added to that, the unjust war in Ukraine, and Earth's breath slows for she's now in pain. Greed has spilled across our beautiful land. Dollar signs seem all many understand. How to change minds that have been made, when counting millions that they've been paid. Lies...

Flipping the Poles
FLIPPING THE POLES Once undisturbed satisfied and content With the acceptance of doing it right There is the merest spark deep inside That wants to set the pleasant aflame To burn and slice that humdrum life Reaching out toward greater freedom And fresh cold air one always deserved Yet out alone in those Arctic wastes There is the faintest pull back to warmth To...

Poles Apart Slam
If lines and verse are indeed the tool's we poet's are to use in order to dictate the thought process of one's inner soul Then surely love should capture an inadvertent overture of subtleties, tenderness and kindness And on the other hand if one wishes to vent one's rage the pen should pierce deep into he page And yet at any stage what once at...

You say Brexit I say love. You say independence I say love. You say European Union I say love. You say immigration I say love. You see coloured people I see love. You see disadvantage I see love. You see gay people I see love You see people who are different I see love You see money I see love You see hate...

Poles Had Protruded
Poles up from bottom had protruded; Others were out of sight and excluded; Life displayed; Never did fade, While all of nature's beauty exuded. Jim Horn...

Poles Apart
A polar bear seeking a mate Spruced up his fur coat for a date. Alas, his sweetheart Had drifted apart For sadly, he'd left it too late! 19.02.19 'Pithy Pants 2 Poetry Contest' sponsored by Maureen McGreavy...

Are We Poles Apart
I know it’s cold up north for you It’s flipping cold down south as well Though we’re poles apart in so many ways You up north and me down south There’s still that draw to you Because of your magnetic attraction you see Just wondered if you fancied a holiday somtime Couldn’t we just say; meet in the middle at the...

Greasing the Poles
The Eagles accomplished their goal To play in this year’s Super Bowl. Their fans are all thrilled That they have fulfilled For Philly, a huge starring role. For if they are the Super Bowl champs, Then revelers won’t allow cramps To their partying ways Though in past winning days The authorities dealt with some scamps. To prevent this, they’re using some grease On the light poles,...

Two Poles of the Same Magnet
A look, a touch, a movement, a greeting, Invisible matter is now a thing in fashion. Waves of dark energy arrange a meeting, Similar attractors find a matching passion. It's a cosmic, complimentary compatibility; A reciprocated smile on an ice-blue planet. It's a notion that aids our species' longevity; Soulmates: two poles of the same magnet.

Between Two Poles
Between Two Poles Between two poles The child takes flight. Impelled by the sun Ceased by the night. Caught in a web He did not spin. The balance of life Hangs on with a grin. --Michael Crabb...

Sometimes it’s like pulling teeth in pain, even with Novocain Or climbing a San Francisco hill in a Chevy Chevette Or trying to fly a kite on a none windy day Words I say, from my heart to yours, seldom come easy I’m certain my brain is not on ‘lockdown’ or it would have told me so. Or maybe it...

crooked in between the straight lines in full view somehow hidden just like old times but everything is new you whisper so loud my heart skips a beat drowning out the little things that made the most sense the contrasts so obvious and we still pretend to not see them it’s like seeing but refusing to acknowledge that we are...
