tealights
with soft warm glow
release sweet lavender scent
where I linger with my lover
melting in contentment
Empowered am I
Change of ideals
Knots to untie
The positive reveals
So much to do
No time to waste
Create an opus too
No cut and paste
I read and digest
Then spell out
A hypotesis to test
The title to shout
Will they read?
The ideas, new
A hybrid seed
For only a few
Let's start at home
Follow me, please
The rest can roam
Late, sagacity, seize
NO TITLE
If I was a girl in this modern world, I shoot for this stars the first woman on mars, a doctor a lawyer, a CEO. Education and hard work, my ticket to the show. Nothing could stop me, but that's half the tail. The other half has a different pay scale.
Relentless, pervasive, there's nowhere to hide. If I were a man, I'd blacken that eye. How long can I run? Barely living in fear. What will he do next? I cannot work here. Where can I go? I can not give in. He'll just keep pushing, again and again.
It's the same everyplace. It's not what I saw. Dreams became nightmares, escaping their claws. Head on a swivel. What did I hear? On every last front, year after year. If I want to move up, then I've got to play, if it's not that, there's glass in the way.
We have to do better, If we call ourselves men. this can not go on. It's time to step in. We start with our boys, we take on our kin. Protecting women is what makes us men. don't let them whisper that snyde innuendo. Confront and demean him, toss him out of the window. I don't care what it takes, if it's something you do, Get your boot off her neck. We're coming for you.
Contest: Black Cat Moan by Glenn Hughes
Sponsor: Robert James Liguori
Date: July 7th 2026
A title can be the make or break
On if a work is read.
If it sparks some intrigue
Then ideas fill your head.
It draws your eyes and pulls you in
To see what can be found,
Just like Glenn Hughes song, "Black Cat Moan"
Has expressions quite profound.
He's on an inward journey of recovery,
Some soul and spiritual healing.
The title alone - "Black Cat Moan"
Reveals the pain he's feeling!
A title can be a prècis of the work
Or it can give readers a clue.
It aids interpretation.
Though that's up to me and you.
So as I write my poems
I'll give some thoughtful time
To create a title that might give away
The reason for the rhyme.
Throughout my whole life, I’ve felt like I was on the outside looking in.
It’s always been as if no one saw me for who I wanted to be.
I was always waiting to be part of the group and let life begin,
But they looked right through me without a second glance and never chose me.
I felt so alone and pushed aside… my only companion was pain.
I feel my whole life has been lived in quiet darkness and quarantine.
Being someone’s literal shadow is very lonely and mundane.
“What’s the point of being visible, if you’re not going to be seen.”*
* quote from Ghosts, Season 4, Episode 16
Just to keep up with a new style, while the Sand man sticks to a plan to hence understand the sentence one tense to be rinsed as the Grinch defends his tent in a pinch despite its foul rotten odor of a stench mouthed one voter who was NOT that dense in past present and future tense hence the bench warrant quarantine latrine screaming beanie baby trading card retarded jarred smarties party past time hardly hardy bartering shotgun runtime bubble covered in Nick at night slime time grime crockery stole bike spike Lymes disease treaty spiked seizer sky high geyser lightning bolt jolt soda colt cold shouldered boulder scolded holding smoldering diamond ring rugged bug-eyed smuggler tug of war tare of a care bare share holder folder to be both bad and bolder like gold oil and drugs with extra hugs and butt plugs underneath the rugs for the fuzz buzzing love jugs whatever that was or wasn’t but not my cousin nuzzling the guzzled puzzling Charlie Sheen screaming ice cream machine that feeds a team and the b team both green beans and brings the fiends back to their gene’s roots and boot scooting things... Let us see what else life brings. The Time is NOW! POW!!!

This Title
I desired this title
The becoming of a mother
I immersed myself in the odyssey
Discarding all that was solitary
I can see the seasons more clearly
As they guide me through your years
Until you no longer need to hold my hand
Until your footprints are larger than mine in the sand
My happiness in having birthed you will change
Allowing me to grow the child into the adult
God, mankind has given thee many titles, yet both Heaven and Earth are yours
Before the very beginning of time, men hallowed thy name
Giving glory and praise for gratitude belongs to you
For you are known as the everlasting one, the Creator of all living things
Magnificent, Awesome and Great
The Keeper of all gates
Who can challenge or oppose thee and be blameless or free
No man can stand at thy right hand and utter
That he is greater or more powerful than thee
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end
The First and the Last who is greater than thee
Power, peace, wisdom, strength, hope, faith, and might best describe thee
Your covenant and laws sustain life
Man of knowledge, truth, love and war, you restore, forgive, deliver, protect and remain the same
The Shepherd, the saviour who shelters, comforts and heals
The Light and fire that consumes and sets my soul free.
The molestors of the innocents..Are predators, child abusers vile and disgusting ' i have forwarded the term
pred o viles.) Not the current term in ( drainstream media over-use.') Also being
Used on independant pod-casts..)
The term is more suited to Jesus..! It makes
Me boil up to see how so many re-gurgitate the bait, that was intended to be
In common use by now..They tell you a word..A plan.? Before its in force.' If you use the term p-aedo'phile...You need to learn more ( about psyops ) do some re-search and stop being a helpfull fool.?
All blessings I am not angry with you..' I
Just ask you do due dilligence.)
The title of a poem is what seems to attract interest
Sometimes not many views so change the title,
maybe twice or thrice the viewing numbers increase with added zest

What can I say about time
that hasn't already been said?
With far more eloquence than this
by people who are all long dead
It seems I've misplaced a day
Or two, I'm really not sure
The weeks are all blending together
and I cannot keep track anymore
Some friends have recently gone
down into that final goodnight
For a lifetime they'd been by my side
til they vanished, one by one, from sight
One long ago February day
my mother departed too soon
Once again that cold date approaches
under a waxing crescent moon
While reflecting on her passing
a hard truth confirmed all my fears
How could I have been so damned careless?
It seems I've misplaced twenty years
