Poetry Friday (a double dose)

TO MYSELF

Even when I forget you I go on looking for you I believe I would know you I keep remembering you sometimes long ago but then other times I am sure you were here a moment before and the air is still alive around where you were and I think then I can [...]

JUNE

Wind at the ear says June June a blacklist I slipped in time

note this way to say goodbye the sighs within these words

note these annotations: unending plastic flowers on the dead left bank the cement square extending from writing to

now I run from writing as dawn is hammered out a flag [...]

A QUICK ONE BEFORE I GO

There comes a time in every man’s life when he thinks: I have never had a single original thought in my life including this one & therefore I shall eliminate all ideas from my poems which shall consist of cats, rice, rain baseball cards, fire escapes, hanging plants red [...]

Nostalgia? Already?

I must be suffering from Post-Election Withdrawal Syndrome (PEWS); George W. Bush isn’t even out of office yet, and I’m already beginning to feel some nostalgia towards his Presidency of the past 8 years.

Not because I think he was a good President; far from it, in fact, but the Bush Administration has given me [...]

Poetry Friday (Pen & Ink Edition)

addiction is like this

sometimes there is nothing else except for the pen, the ink, the paper, me, and the muse

Or get modern. Sometimes there is nothing but me the monitor, the keyboard, the words, and sweet inspiration

It has been brought to my attention …

… that some of my behavior, blog posts, and comments on other people’s blogs is making some people uncomfortable, or even “freaked out”, as one friend put it.

For that, please accept my most sincere and humble apologies.

I was stunned, and extremely embarrassed by how my actions and words are, and have been [...]

MAY  

Let me look at those eyes. I want to know how you are. —Rainer W. Fassbinder

Look. May has come in. It’s strewn those blue eyes all over the harbor. Come, I haven’t had word of you in ages. You’re constantly terrified, Like the kittens we drowned when we were little. Come and [...]

Poetry Friday (ink-stained fingers edition)

ADVENTURES IN INK

Fountain pen,     an adventure in ink.

Words drip from the nib’s caress ———

Strokes flow across the page,     swooping letters,         sweeping serifs.

A poet composes,     filling the page         with images culled     from the mind’s         recess.
