I try again and cry you see
but still must write my poetry
I see you saw me scream and sigh
and write ‘til morn, alone I try.

Today I search for words until
Again, I almost lose my will
But then I wonder why some more
And stumble through another door.

Poetry / ICE AND RAIN
Version 1
1 Review   0 Comments
Cannot we save the ice and rain? As dry fields burn in blazing fire Parched voices cry in sad disdain.   Weather destroys with death and pain Hurricanes, floods and drought are dire Cannot we save the ice and rain?   We take our warnings "with a grain" Global warming is just satire Parched voices cry in sad disdain.   New Orleans floods, we watch with shame As levees break; as homes expire Cannot we save the ice and rain?   Our big concern is wealth and fame As s...

Rage not in beige but dark red hues But love and sing in buttered blues Oh, holy Jesus, a group of Jews Screaming alibis from bloody pews. Fungus creeps like moss in fall Below, above and in the hall I can't contain the whole damn flock They're all around, they've stopped the clock Be ware, be brave, be gone, be by Be broken brushes that will not lie Bread crusts are burnt and canvas torn The rules of metric rhyme give scorn Burning papers, I bent my pen Confused the langu...

This reminded of J.D. Salanger's "Catcher in the rye" Good sarcastic outlook..I enjoyed it, kept me interested (like a celebrity magazine)Poetry is like art, its undefinable until critics get a hold of it..Thanks
Enjoyed the prancing/dancing lyrical bamboosal. 2nd stanza, 2nd line thru the rhythm out'a whack for me? but over all was a fun romp..thanks
A good "dear john" letter. You have expressed your pain and great disdain and pleaded for sympathy as all young thwarted lovers do. It's hard for the reader to become part of it ..it's like reading some elses mail. You got some good ideas..maybe work on the meter(flow) of the poem..omit some of the "I's" and things that make full sentences. keep writing...thanks
Poetry / Barnegat Bay
I had to read it 3 times to understand...but it finally hit me. I've had to kill my dogs distempered puppies, shoot my two "pet" pigs and goats..and put my dog to sleep. I don't think you ever get use to it . Thanks for the poem .
Poetry / Christmas Morn
I enjoyed the meter and rhyme..It was like "The night before Christmas..." in feeling as my aunt use to read to me when I was young. I like the "pray"/ "holiday" rhyme. Good work..thanks
