Seems like someones always on fire in NYC, Seems someones always dyin in NYC. Firetrucks always screamin, sirens wail day in, night out, From your perch, they rush by, echoes chasin down the block. After a while, sounds and attention numb, They fade into the rhythm's pace. You just don’t hear anymore. Just don't care, You forget. So long as it’s just not...

Premium Member An Early Wake Up Call
The early sun rose from behind the hills. It was a wake-up call for me. Full of pep, I flew atop the post One of many that surrounded the hen pen. I gave my best rendition of a poultry reveille. My lovely harem came to my call. Some ruthless spoilt sport hated me. Was it unreasonable to be wakened up At such...

A Wake-Up Call To Reality
As I wander the desolate paths of my hometown, A storm of thoughts hits my mind, The empty roads, and the empty houses, Felt unusual, with some story behind, I walked through my neighbourhood, No one was to be found, The air, the scent of the area, Felt like a wandering blood hound, With the...

Easter Wake-up Call Jesus ~ When you woke up in the tomb did you smile – The living prophecy complete - As death cowered in your victory? Throw back your head to laugh in giddiness As you broke free from burial’s mortal bonds Trembling at your feet? Sing a kingly Psalm of morning joy Lion of Judah in roars of Resurrection That...

Wake Up Call
Wake Up Call Sunny days are so luscious and sweet. Its pleasing to live at life's slower pace, but often I miss the bite and the sting, of Winter's blight blowing wind in my face. Feelingly persuade me of what I am, * beyond womb-like comforts and security. Stabbing thorns, Winter's cold, - small payment to wake me from my own obscurity. I must...

A WAKE UP CALL the sleep      of centuries trancelike induced restlessness   delved the unconscience ambivalence    a constant interplay  patterning       tranquil hours inviolate profiled in revolutions     throes THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...
