It is with much sadness that after 10 fun
and enjoyable years I will be curtailing my participation
on Poetry Soup! It has become a way of life with me
but I find at 87 years of age my creativity is suffering
I will still be popping in now and then!
So I must say good-bye for now
Cheers Jack

An ashen sky of rolling grey
reduces the light from the sun.
And soon showers sully the day,
curtailing any chance of fun.
A pelting sound
pummels the ground.
Sprinkles morph into a drenching
as water floods gutters and streets.
Quenching thirsts, in need of quenching,
a deluge of drops falls in sheets.
Though rain isn't bad—
it makes me sad.
When the Moon moves out of sight slow
it stages a nightmarish dream;
Your pulse jumps inside your bloodstream
with an irrational tempo;
Smiling like a jester although
you can hear every silent scream
when the Moon moves;
Closing your eyes is a deathblow
suffocated by the extreme;
With a blood curtailing moonbeam
can you truly trust your shadow
when the Moon moves?
There's a field nearby with words written in stone
Ash set in then blew away; like fallen snow
Planes came in dropping bombs till all atone
Following, guns drawn; history in the know
It could have been crops planted matured and grown
Humans plan of repetition fate would show
War has brought no solution or curtailing
Shining only a spotlight on our failing
Purity may well lie deep inside the promising cup, but there are those
Evasive and pervasive evils that dutifully lie cleverly to lurk and deceive.
Advocates of forgiveness and goodwill must be quick to rise in opposition.
Curtailing and containing disrupters of 'the peace' are the goals we must seek.
Essentially, the truth remains that we are sorely needful of The Prince of Peace.
030722PSCtest, World Peace. Robert James Liguori
Too many tiny minds
telling others what to do
the sighted led by the blind
even tho' they can't do it too
curtailing all creativity
restraining imagination
destroying individuality
those who can don't need advising
those who can't should stop supervising
let me make my own mistakes
it's the only way I'll know what it takes
to get where I need to be
so put the key in the slot
wind me up and watch me go
a robot I am not
Death calls
It curtailing whip on wind
It sits beside me
I dare not question him
Or blackness inside
His monk style robes
Covering head and the
Pitchest black I’d ever seen
Seems to be covered by
Small instances of light as
If he wore the universe as skin
I try not to notice
The sickle between us
Its blade shining white
In the moonlight
I don’t want the mystery of
How many died there so
I focus on completing the poem…
Finish writing the poem…
Out of the shadows
after seeing the light
finally curtailing
a cold seemingly endless night
putting forth effort to recover
with a fervent, insistent might
without prior direction
longsuffering weakened the fight
though now rising from the depths
to reach stable heights
the road ahead has clarity
with awareness and true sight
envisioning hope
to enhance the plight
the path to go forth
perpetually steers to the right
with a renewed mindset of reality
even dark clouds seem bright.
