Some are short
Some are long
Some rhyme
And some don't
Some are about me
Some are about you
Some have great meaning
An make you cry
Some are funny
An make you want to laugh
Some you will always remeber
Some you will forget
But poetry is in all of us
But only some of us find it...

It may seem a trifle to the horde -
Or perhaps mere mordacious wit.
But I, wizened more than most afford,
Was not shackled by some rhyme unfit.

He let his brain loiter as he wrote -
Hoping his pen would elicit praise.
"Cartridge", said he, "is a bird of note"
But I've put one in guns all my days

Words. Some big, some small,some rhyme not at all.
Often a message is hidden within it's passage;
Requiring a minds keen eye to understand.
Dare to deal the alphabet at random, so,
People read,guess, and even wonder why, ones
Labor of time was spent, to such an extent; to
Achieve ones curiosity of course, that was your intent.
You've then accomplished to capture their imagination....

Sometimes i get scared in the dark!
at some rhyme!or even a dogs bark.
a blinding light!a broken out fight!
is it coming from my mind or my heart?
The things i compare day and night,
and songs of despair to ease ones fright!
Man has always been made ever ready!
to run away from scenes of utter nessesaties!
Inbuilt preservation till our paths end!
A will unlearnt!and self curing mends!...

To New Year’s Eve, I say - big whoop!
What’s there to celebrate?
A year of stress and fear and loss
Which may not yet abate.

Of course there were some ups as well -
New babies born and time 
To spend with grandkids, kith and kin,
To read and write some rhyme.

But overall, with Covid’s cloud
Still hanging up above,
Let’s hope that in the coming year 
We’ll block it out with love....

To write a mad song takes
so very little time:
just jot some words
not too absurd
and make sure that some rhyme.

The first line stands alone;
the next rhymes with the last.
Then you can do
the middle two;
I tell you, it’s a blast!

The meter’s all iambs;
the lengths all six and four.
It’s nice and neat,
so short and sweet;
you’ll soon come back for more.

A Mad Song Stanza: 6x:6a:4b:4b:6a, using iambs...

Questions

As I look into suspended,
moments of time.
Memories hang, drifting.

Flying away on butterfly wings,
translucent words in some rhyme.
These ghostly figures haunt the essence

of so much of, that once was -
that once seemed so sublime.
Seldom are things what they seem.

Blinded by the journeys of ones life,
not knowing, such a terrible crime.
Not even seen in the essence of a dream.

Though Age is catching up on me
It cannot dry the ink
From which I write consistently
Emotions felt and thoughts I think.

Hope as a worded dream may fly
To vast horizons it may soar,
Pain is the dew, comes from my eye-
Substance, the reason I'm here for.

Form contains the words conveyed,
Perhaps some Rhyme may spice the piece,
Happiness is the reward that laid
Its soft and gentle kiss to this.

I’d like to think I’m poet,
but I don’t write songs

I’d like to think I’m writer,
but I don’t write stories.

I’d like to think that people think I’m a poet or a writer,
but they don’t!

So what I’m gonna do?

I’m gonna write story in a song,
but not too long,
I’m not crazy,
I know I’m lazy.
I don’t want to waste too much of my time,
to make some rhyme.

In that short song, I’m gonna tell them that they are wrong, that I just wrote a song.

You’re wrong!
I just wrote a song!...
