Poetry Friday

THE POEMS I HAVE NOT WRITTEN

I’m so wildly unprolific, the poems I have not written would reach from here to the California coast if you laid them end to end.

And if you stacked them up, the poems I have not written would sway like a silent Tower of Babel, saying nothing

and everything [...]

Christmas morning …

ON THE MORNING OF CHRIST’S NATIVITY

I

This is the month, and this the happy morn, Wherein the Son of Heaven’s eternal King, Of wedded maid and Virgin Mother born, Our great redemption from above did bring; For so the holy sages once did sing,    That he our deadly forfeit should release, And with [...]

More evidence for Darwin

Tragic story, but why does this always seem to happen to people who trust in God to protect them instead of exercising common sense. I think that if there is a Supreme Being, it’s going to protect people against things beyond their control, but is not going to reward stupidity?

God (in whatever form) [...]

THE ARMY OF TRUTH

Words? Those sounds the world despises.       Words in poems? Even more to be disdained! Ah, how feeble are your powers       to defend all the truth that man denies!

Thunder crack and lightning flash       at its presence! Hosts of angels should come swooping down from heaven to the rescue       far and wide [...]

Into the nothingness of [...]

BRIGHT EYES – I MUST BELONG SOMEWHERE

Leave the bright blue door on the white-washed wall. Leave the death ledger under city hall. Leave the joyful air in that rubber ball today.

Just leave the lilac print on the linen sheet. Leave the bird you killed at [...]

TOM WAITS – HOLD ON

They hung a sign up in our town “If you live it up, you won’t live it down” So she left Monte Rio, son Just like a bullet leaves a gun With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips She went and took that California trip Oh, the moon was [...]

BLINK-182 – NOT NOW

Come here, please hold my hand, Lord, now Help me, I’m scared please show me how To fight this, God has a master plan And I guess, I am in his demand

Please save me, this time I cannot run And I’ll see, you when this is done And now [...]

THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS – LETTER FROM AN OCCUPANT

I’m told the eventual downfall is just a bill from the restaurant. You told me I could order the moon, babe, just as long as I shoot what I want. What the last ten minutes have taught me, bet the hand that your money’s on. Where [...]

Losing my religion; gaining my soul

I find it hard not to think that there is some sort of all encompassing power tying us all together. Just from a molecular standpoint, an atom that was once part of me could now be part of you, and there is an energy that ties all atoms together (or pushes them apart).

Now whether [...]
