Premium Member I compose poems like Wallace Stevens
I compose poems like Wallace Stevens by walking the streets of my town. But unlike the esteemed Wallace Stevens, I don't have to memorize or write my poems down. I just turn on my cellphone's recorder, then slowly whisper my word into it. But instead of composing gems, like Wallace Stevens, I then to produce just a drivel of shhhhh~it....

Premium Member Poets Cannot Hide
Wallace Stevens said: "Poetry is not personal." He tried never to divulge anything about himself in his poems. Or so he said. But, the work is self-revelatory, veiled confessions, repeated choices -- water, sea motion, weather, the sky -- introspective isolation -- those silences and descriptive phrases that communicate and characterize. Human, no one -- especially not poets -- can really hide....

Premium Member Wallace, Wally, Cleaver and Eddie Haskell
Wallace “Wally” Cleaver handsome, well-liked high achiever, befriended Eddie, so unlike him. Golly!* Wally wasn’t given to whim! Eddie Haskell was a neat, slick, conniving rascal. With his flattery and pseudo-smiles, he spiced up the show with his wiles. Leave It to Beaver *Wally and other characters use expressions like “Gee whiz,” “Gosh,” and “Golly.” September 29, 2021 entered in the Clerihew 2 Contest ...

As Wallace lay on wood and blood, His own, his care he did not heed, Thoughts of moors and springtime flood, Purple glens, the heather's bud, The truth he knew had been his deed. The court had called him traitor thee, Sentenced him, like pawn, an object, Against all England, no dignity, A traitor to Edward? He was never his subject. ...

Thirteen Ways of Looking At a Tiger, Inspired By Wallace Stevens
I Blades of grass slice past. A striped assassin. The tiger goes unnoticed. II Empowered by legend, The tiger grows strong. Eroded by greed, The tiger grows few. III Alone, he stalked, hunting prey, days on end. Now he lies still, a striped, tattered trophy, alone. IV Two men. One tiger. One fate. V I remember two tigers. One is ferocious, cunning, agile. Another is broken, malnourished. I remember one tiger. VI His...

Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery, So Don'T Sue Me, Wallace Stevens
I know what a poem looks like. I know how to make my prose look like verse. A little tuck here, an indent there, et voila! It’s verse! or worse ... a pale imitation of seem. (can I have some ice cream?)...

WILLIAM WALLACE Blindfolding Justice, lest the blind might see, what tyrany's been passed down countless years by those who make the claim, nobility are all the ties that bind through death and tears. What manner of a man stands up to these annointed to the reign passed down by name? No archer known to anyone who sees, could suffer all, lest freedom is...

Wallace
Scottish crofters from Wallace's time, trying to make a living of the land committing not any crime. With God’s grace and will to raise a family keeping it simple, yet nothing was going to be “run of the mill” An English King, a tyrant so ruthless and willing to invade. Reasoning was futile it was impossible to persuade. He rampaged with vast...

Wallace Hartley,Titanic Bandmaster
As I gather them to the first class lounge Surely we will calm down the throng. Of mothers in shock,fathers at a loss. Crying wee ones encased in their arms. Lifeboats not nearly enough I hear. And so we play together as one. The piano and cellos,the violins. Kindred spirits fighting our terror. On we play as the air becomes frozen. Horrific screams we...

The Life of a Fictitious Person. Walter P. Wallace.
So proper and prim in my Brooks Broithers suit. ( I loathe that Obama! I much prefer Newt.) Decorum at all times, when in public view. ( Dwelling on feelings would render one blue.) An Ivy League background, a young trophy wife, (I prefer peace and quiet, an absence of strife.) Success at all costs is the rock bottom line! ( We...
