We Are One

Poetry soupmates
We're all together
Even when we disagree
We'll defend each other
against outsiders
Such a marvel, believe you me

To Live a Long Life

Who wants to live long life
       always run from the danger
    aside from stray outsiders bullets
   away  from friendship of strangers

Small Old Towns

inner struggles
from traumatic times
in small old towns
outsiders wonder
why she holds onto it
meanwhile she's been searching 
for a place to put it down

Ukraine belonged to Russia
So they acted doing their job
To make things easier 
Ukraine was Russia
Russia was Ukraine
Outsiders don't get it
One Mother Russia
Always forever


The Boat Rocks

Nothing more defended
than the status quo

To protect and covet,
never let go

Attacked by outsiders,
heels to dig in

Rocking the boat
—water within

Dark Dawn

In the evening light
The Moon stands on its podium
The mother ship looms
A foretold invasion
Triggered by superfluous AI

wormhole in the sky
strangers in the evening light
outsiders with us

A Poets Mind

Indescribable thoughts expressed
Colour and detail unmissed
Subconscious voices absorb on paper
Stories of emotion so personal
Experiences shared for armour
Laughed at by the outsiders
Understood by the intelligent minds
art

Outsiders

I stay awake to see the nights ways. 
Witness where the freaks tweaks and youth meet.
Words from the reckless 
Actions from the restless.
Sleep where the demons and angels meet. 
Witness our war.
May all shining souls prevail

Form: ABC

Bipolar

Blissfully on cloud nine or
Irritable beyond all recognition
Policing yourself to not hurt yourself
Only to hope its not to completion
Longing to be healthy and stable
Aggressive to the outsiders who 
Recommend Lithium for you

Alphabet Soup

Everywhere I look, I see acronyms…

A language all of its own for each category.

A shorthand of sorts.

Outsiders confused and aggravated. 

They requested clarification. 

Only to be answered with jargon shorthand.

Life Is a Hooded Sweatshirt

I wear a sweatshirt because I feel hidden. Behind this sweatshirt that I wear is a symbol of me. I’m like a tree. I'm quiet I stand tall and proud. These pretty leave that I carry surround me in a leafy blanket. When my hood is up I feel safe from the outsiders. That’s why I live behind my hoodie.

House and Gardens

We leave our
jackets around the chairs
in spite of the 
formalility of the setting.
Well, the outsiders are,
as usual, absent.
There are no guests to
make the rooms into a
tasteful memory.
I know her jacket
and she knows mine. She
sometimes scolds me
but I take it with good grace.
I know she is not
mother.

Premium Member Break the Odds

Deadbeat lost soul, no hope.
Nice guy, loyalty, good bloke.
Love found is no joke.
Ends meet but always broke.
Chance given, can he cope?

Outsiders chance of glory.
Just go the distance
That's the best story.
Fight with the champ.

Toe to toe
Blow to blow
Live the dream

Italian Stallion
Break odds…

Rocky.

The Lonesome Fisherman

I'm tired of fishing for truth, 
and catching only, 
Worm eaten boots 
And plastic flim-flam,
of egotistical minds, 
This river is polluted! 
With a million fallen dreams,
 And spineless fish, 
That cannot see, 
So I raise a glass 
To the strangers. 
To the outsiders. 
Who swim in isolation. 
In deeper darker waters.

Synopsis for THE WOMAN WHO COULD EAT WOOD AND OTHER STORIES

The Woman Who Could Eat Wood & Other Stories is a gathering of dark-serious, funny, and emotional poems/stories showing people, hybrids, and objects born different. In their eyes, and to the normal, they’re born useless to the world – weird outsiders who try to make use of themselves with various degrees of success and failure (some die).

Definitions

Family is defined by feelings
not just those of love.
A need stirs up inside
sent down from above.
The yearning to help, to comfort
to care for those in your family.
To be sure they will survive
And receive whatever they need.
Definitions, outsiders, nay-sayers,
whomever they may be
so not let them crush
your dreams of what you believe.

Season To Taste


S oup – pure broth
E ndeavouring to stay “pure”
A mid the “cook’s in the kitchen”.
S easoning to taste the
O fferings of distant “chefs” -
N ot/accepted -

T ables set for too many.
O outsiders – 

T heir noses pressed
A gainst the glass -
S niffing the soup
T asting, its
E fficacy.

Premium Member Souls of the Ocean

Looking out into the bay,
All my friends,
Even my furry friends.
No one understands,
But they know me,
I am their protector.
I feel their heart.
I see the Ocean.
The different families.
Some good others dangerous.
I'm here for them,
To protect to save from outsiders,
Who take them from their home.
Catch them, kill them,
Even eat them,
Taking their Soul.

Premium Member Altered State of Reality

An altered state of reality,
Could there really be a duality?
Who determines if everything is twisted?
I always thought everything just coexisted.
It’s just a matter of perception,
Outsiders just see a complexion.
It really comes down to perspective,
It’s all subjective.
Who are these fellow creatures?
They claim to be our teachers.

Another Part of My Life

You are confused,
but the answer is so clear.

You say "back off,"
only because you hold your broken heart so near.

You hurt others before the hurt you,
because we have never learned to fully love and care.

Outsiders never seem to understand us,  
an the things that we had to bear.

But, sister, don't give up on your adoptive family,
because they will always be there.

Premium Member You would think


strangers alone in a foreign land
two outsiders free floating on a barge
adrift without connection

in a bubble outside their world
swept by the currents and the tides
they manage to find each other

all remains pure and lacks complication
where lines are clearly drawn
this way depth of friendship never sours




Inspired by movie “Lost in Translation”

Premium Member Zazen

Listen to poem:
My head is calm
My space is zen
I glide and I meander
Manoeuver in a psychic hovercraft
I’m in my private bubble
Impervious to noise around me
Blissfully cut off from outsiders
Their bitter words are hollow
They're out there l'm in here
Water off a duck’s back

Who Is Your Neighbor

September sun beats a downtown hotel,
For skid row children the heat is hell.

Mother drugged and father out to score,
Their children play alone, on the lobby floor.

They play with no one watching them,
Growing up without roots or stem.

Outsiders of the swollen hotel lobby,
Don't show up, its just not their hobby.

Their crimes will soon pay the price,
Parent's example leads only to vice.
