Writing Poems

Ur car should be burning it
It's Top of the line when referring to my whisk(e)y
Regular, average, standard means the opposite
It's like a hundred dollar bill not a fifty
An A+ on the Final Test
Writing for the few
Show them who is the...Read More

I keep on observing couples pass me by oh so merrily,
Getting me all perked up, but at the same time, a bit of jealousy
I am deserving of no one and I know you'd disagree
Getting me slightly upset because I can't...Read More

My thread is broken and the pearls are falling
In that flood of tears I’m searching for my broken heart
Your silence is my fiery ghost
Wake up dear soul, without you, my life will stop.
Still the breathless whispers of tendering love ringing...Read More

Grandma and I use to run across the shore.
Building sandcastles, 
collecting seashells wedged in the deep sand.

Many times we watch the waves hit the shore,
other times we leave our marks on the slushy sand.

Grandma usually covers me in the sand...Read More

Get Out
See the World
The Beats Traveled
They didn't stay
locked up
in their
apartments or rooms.
They were 
out there
encountering the World,
living life,
going places,
experiencing things,
getting a grasp
of reality
which they 
would then transform
into poems,
beautiful
works of Art
for all
to wonder at
and enjoy....Read More

All things can tempt me, but I’ll not stray long
from poetry. Desire to write is strong.

The lure of pie may shoo my muse away,
but soon new themes my poems will convey.
 
A brand-new movie’s on, a mystery. 
When it concludes,...Read More

I miss you, won't see 
you for two years.
I miss your smile and
the sound of your voice.

You always make me 
smile and laugh when 
i'm sad, you have always 
been my favorite cousin,
nothings the same without you.

When i play basketball,...Read More

O' Cenobite, Dar'est Thy Soul Await

Alas! By what right is such assailing
amidst uproar, then half-truths a'telling
Does not morn gift upon grass falling dew
yet truth perseveres despite what others do
Aye! But 'tis not fickle applause a noose
tears for the gander, oven...Read More

My Words My Legacy.

Within the short time I have left
It is my earnest desire
To leave a legacy to the world
Spread my love to all
And inspire
.
In my words
I give my heart mind soul and blood
I’d change the world for the better
If...Read More

Terminal poetry…
death by the word

Selling a heartbeat
for every breath

Giving up life
for each new phrase

Buried
—inside what’s heard

(Ronald McDonald House: February, 2020)

As my pen begs for me to let it rise,
My mind finds itself in the cage that ties
Me down to reality, my other tasks
Are screaming for me to attend their asks,
My time is swallowed by my job, my loves,
My desperate...Read More

“You might think I'm cold-hearted. I am.
I can't afford distractions. I've got work to do.”
Nathan Edmondson, Black Widow #3


She moves in silence, tethered to a thread
of silk, she is both beautiful and dark.
For flies wrapped with a beating heart aren't...Read More

I looked up synonyms for the word LOVER in a thesaurus online. I took the first list and chose the words I was going to use in a Monty Python type of gag using multiple words to address a female...Read More

I rarely write love poetry,
I simply lack the aptitude,
I avoid tackling the emotional,
Writing about love seems
An invasion of privacy,
Especially that of my own.

The poetry books I own
All include some love poetry,
In which an obvious aptitude
Delicately conveys the emotional
So that the...Read More

Beautiful picturesque soft glowing light 
against the darkness, whilst burning shooting
star catapult through the sky in its flight. 
Spinning fine idyllic thread flow, moving.

In mine heart, I evoke the narrative 
wist of our youth. An inexhaustible 
love; now lost in...Read More

It is my delight to wright 
In the early morning light

When the coming day is on the edge
With coffee that can float an iron wedge

Sustenance and wonder meet
Words fall out in a steady beat

I rarely ever write in rhyme
But that...Read More

              The good in me,

Dear fellow poets,
from all around the globe.
I'm here to bring you greetings,
and welcome you into the fold.

Some of you have just started writing,
and others have been writing for years.
May all of your days be beautiful,
and free from wasted tears.

We write...Read More

I wrote poems to your "heart"
under the long red "thread" of sunset
that laid upon the horizon's "beautiful" skyline of twilight
as the clear songs from "birds" echoed in the distance
before the coming "dark" of night

The breadth between our eyes was "fathomless"
when...Read More

By day the quarrymen

The music band understand
6 long month's they must wait
till their next recording session

They won't play the ashes all summer
In the winter garden 
With the shed at the bottom
Until the snow subsidies again

So pack away the grand piano
Bass...Read More

Sonnet And Rhyme, A Double Presentation

Are Poets Truly Born To Be Cannon Fodder

Heart struck, blood-let by black arrows thus shot
within soul- can not poetry reward,
those that ink giving freely all they got
playing face up, each and every card?

Does this darkened...Read More

In my opinion, my dear country, America, has lost her way.                             ...Read More

My kingdom for a topic;
I do not need a choice,
Just one to which I can attach
My daily rhyming voice.

Most subjects seek me out
Or fall, politely, in my lap
And others show as soon as I
Put on my thinking cap.

But once in...Read More
