"Good and plenty!"
"Too much cream
in my coffee?"
"It does seem
overly much there."
"So it's extreme
to you?" "Voltaire,
Oh, he'll agree,
none to spare."
A sculptor was Jean-Antoine Houdon
large scale art of his one may come upon
His 'Voltaire' commissioned by Madame Denis
altogether his most famous piece*

The critic Voltaire
Had plenty to share
Endowed with acerbic satire
He played to the audience with fire.

Placed 4th
Gone is the era of the Renaissance Man
Who delved into Milton, Voltaire and Rosseau
Knew the difference between Cezanne and Gaugin
Could parse a sentence and quote Henry Thoreau
Came Woodstock, he was buried deep in time's sands
Covered over by Joplin and Country Joe...
Social media's dug man's hole even worse
Alexa and Cortana ~ My lips are pursed
My brain is filled with sticky stuff today
and thoughts will not come out.
Sorry sisters and brothers.
The want is within
and I try to nausea:
I pinch my nose purse my lips
shut tight my eyes and blow fish.
A hint of wit in the silly putty?
Something worth script?
No!
A metaphoric fart judders my cheeks.
Squeezed out is an empty wish
for metrical structure.
My head is hopeless.
Gummy; bare.
Forgive me Voltaire.
My brain is brim sticky
and I cannot share
a poem today.
the features of this relationship are:
you are a strong friend
you love me more than your luggage
you are a genius (at times)
you have Freudian insight
you guide me through tough decisions
you are deep like Voltaire
you are optimistic
you do not criticize
you are a voice of reason
you support me
you let me vent
you are funny
you are sincere
you encourage my writing
you've stuck around (why, I don't know)
and more that I can list
the benefits speak for themselves
Listen to poem:
In full abandon to splendor,
We immerse in sweet surrender,
For the time to be just somewhere,
When we breathe the words by Voltaire.
To stroll the pathways of free souls,
Advance concepts of righteous goals,
Detachment from church and the state,
And learned traits firsthand on our plate.

Your thoughts are deep,
like Voltaire or Nietzsche
And you pen them
your insight, feelings, love, pain
But there is more to you
I read between the lines
Discover the thoughts and the process
look into the lines, the intricacy
Unravel the spirit and the soul
remove the veil so others can see
Let your heart be unbound
let it soar and love
I hope you find what you seek
what you write about, yearn for
Then write about that too
inspire others like you inspire me
