A Word
A word was lost
in a sentence vast.
The eye that read it
moved too fast.
It shed a tear
for it's daddy dear.
Writer, writer,
why'd you put me here?

Dodo Chair
They want a pigeon for a dodo

a theoretical DNA sideshow
resurricate natures dearth
undo extinction
Whatever next

After the Cameras Role
Bad scripts need work, develop plot
With strong clean dialogue
That is hot
Memorized lines acting poetic
Trying to be the
Heroic
Character playing a role
Moving in the show
For the gold
Since when reels unspool
Cinema is cool...

Bad Poet
I have nothing to lose, by submitting.
My poems aren't perfect, I'm admitting.
A crime of bad rhymes, I'm committing.
A disease of word misuse, I'm transmitting.
I try to be hard-hitting, but my diction is unfitting.
There are times I feel like quitting,
Then a gem is born, after some diligent editing....

Rachel Sassoon Beer
Your thinking led you
to become a Christian
and your family
disowned you because of that.
You were the journalist,
contributing articles
with business-like
editing decisions.
After death of your husband,
who passed the sickness on you,
you had to struggle with it for years
until you succumb victorious....

The First Drink
lucid and melancholy
i feel fine
been rough too
have a drink
it will get you in the mood
or take you down the creek
again tore up from the
floor up
spoken to me
one day at a time
blacked out and fine
where are my shoes
vague flashes
really bad editing
is my life
drowned in regret...

Modern Maskerade
Made up eyes with false smiles
Filling our soul’s cracks with foundation
Editing ourselves into oblivion.
We don’t exist anymore, only our mask.
Only a mask remains
Holding together our fragmented souls.
The infrastructure of the mind is a rusted playground
from our youth
Replaced with the mask
of megapixels on a social media app....

Critical Thinking
To whom are we responding?
All bad news for desponding,
Someone's editing all this stuff,
Media and worldwide web, that's tough,
Let's examine the motivation,
Feeding us their manipulation,
Read and listen in bewilderment,
Assess the agenda in amazement,
You want us to believe that stuff?
THEIR motivation and manipulation, that's tough....

War
WAR
In peace you
frown
Tussle is your
work tool
pain,turbulence
and anger are
in thy armoury
T'reat holds an
upper hand in
thy army
Thy assign
force as an
army staff
War you paste
armistice in the
heart of men
clearing their
wages with
blood;
and editing
fear from the
recruit
arming the
with
sophisticated

The Birth of Poems
On paper sheets,
crisp and white,
we labor over
the words we write.
Like newborns,
in lines they lay,
their mouths wide open,
with much to say.
They cry at us
and won't shut up,
until hey are weaned
from bottle to cup.
Then as they grow,
their voices are heard.
Quickly now,
write every word!
(But remember, they
still need diaper changes.

It's Too Early To Prite Woetry
Sometimes it's too Early to Prite Woetry,
I say to myself, "Oh, Moe is We".
When I Bo Lack Gate with Sater Light,
Editing the Hords of my Wearlier rite.
I try to make them Gine and Frand,
Especially when a Hontest is at Cand.
So here you are Fy Mood Griend,
My unedited Woem, to sou I yend.
I fope it Hits your itical Creye,
As this Woem is Pritten...Sannot Cay I.

Silly Goose
Sometimes, the pernicious
is just desserts like alveoli
losing pink to a ciggy devil
Love - an enterprise astral
yields to blemish: mockery
Garish sentry sneers, reflecting
on a visage muting its boo-hoo
on a traverse still willed in woo
Silly teeter-totters with serious
editing tears that dampen a life…

The Question I Posed ….
If your Poem is still
an open wound
And you stitch it tight
with editing
How…
will it ever bleed free?
(James River Writer’s Conference: October, 2016)
The Actual Poem ….
For All To Share
My Poem still an open wound,
unstitched by edits snare
Running free on a salted page,

Editing Mode
some nights I pause
and actually believe
it would be easy
to rewind the film
to rewrite my day
maybe even my life
while some might toss
the old one aside
and try a new script
I'd prefer to
take my scissors
and make edits
and mostly what I'd do
is stretch the time
I spent with you

I Am Satans Prophet God Is Using
I am Satan’s prophet God is using,
Because He is certain Satan is losing:
Another thousand pigs to surely perish
The Homeless Anew to this not cherish.
The Devils mouthpiece God monitors his megaphone:
In the end, God’s Messages in Satan’s tone
This, the latter not happy to condone
Because in me has built his throne…
Yep, Satan’s script God keeps editing
Satan from it not much eliciting
And would soon cease soliciting....

Cyber-Space
Where is this place called Cyber-Space??
She will compose, a bit of prose
While editing, she thumbs her nose!
Her failed attempt must be disposed!
So off it goes!
To where?? ....Who knows???
She admits defeat...
Then hits delete!
Those jumbled words,
like shameful birds,
will disappear
to be erased
...so far from here
in such disgrace!
to Cyber-Space ! > > > > >
Where is that place???...

Surviving the Dream
I hate the business of writing
the commerce of word craft
the tedium of publishing
the deadlines imposed
I hate the word count
the editing and proofing
the book signing travel
and agents exposed
I hate the promotion
each workshop and fair
the reviews and the podcasts
the bookstores that sell
But I love the writing
when the words come together
releasing my spirit
—my fortune to tell
(The New Room: January, 2022)...
