Woman to a man is not a poem
This earth and nature is not a poem
Each of these is supplementary for others

I'm not a poem,
Nor a limerick. 
I am not a pun 
Nor am I a joke.
I'm not a scene from an apolitical 
Horror movie.
To be more concise, 
I'm easy to find.
Just look into my eyes
and you will see
I am me, not you....

Whistle... and I'll come to you...
Through the sea, across the land

And with my mittens, 
Warm your hand



[Inspired by reading "S.O.S. Titanic" by Eve Bunting. Read it to see.
This is dedicated to them, it is not a poem from me to anyone else.]...

I could write
what love is,
my list of
heartfelt dears

but no two alike

not matching yours
my dears

I could write
of hesitation…
why hearts close-off
for fears

but not a poem deep 
enough, to catch and
contain

a world of others' 
tears......

This is not a poem. I wish to say goodbye for real now. The amount of hate in this place is overwhelming and I do not wish to be part of it anymore.

My friends know where to find me.

All the great people in here, you know I love you.

Good luck and have a good life....

This white paper screams at me
And I yell back
The more I sit here staring at it
The worse it gets
Where did my muse go to today
Down the drain?
I think I need some inspiration
For this is nothing
Not a poem, not a story, just a
pathetic lamentation
See you tomorrow ;)...
