Where art survives conversational buzz is alive
Sharing both knowledge and experience are tools necessary for art to thrive
But a poem posted on this fake site is doomed to die
Members never comment and yet there is no outcry
Apathy,Lazy, ? This selfish behavior won’t relent
6 of 606 that read my poems and that’s less than one percent have offered any opinion to present. You all should be embarrassed acting just like uneducated fools, you diminish the art and tarnish all Poets, your clueless actions border on cruel.

I’ll Just Disappear
I’LL JUST DISAPPEAR
However, this affected me, a newly born unjust legacy my heart now carries a cacti weight
I did not choose to negotiate, decided by interceding demons jackaled arbiters of my fate cackling they view my hope disapate
now plotting newly poisoned path
Laughing at potential wrath
Priory peaceful now a bludgeoned confusion
Chaotic terror of
intravenous infusion
A future kidnapped promises loudly snapped
Vitriolic at full capacity
I’m done, you’ve won
You’ve seen the last of me
Bobby O

Know Thy Place
KNOW THY PLACE This good man, nicknamed John Wayne ,had A reckless sense of confrontation, seasoned with his furtive sense of honor, true streetwise code his badge of armor.
A Strangers clueless stand, insulting innocents out of hand ,A feckless tense situation fueled unreasoned stress and trouble , the otherwise unconverted scholar breathing puffery through tightened collar.
A perverted Careening uncollected mix of bravado bluffs and parlor tricks. False pride ignoring the timer clicks
Crossed a line he just can’t fix.
There’s a kinda hush that’s loud within the...

CUB FANS ARE EASY
Funny story. I was in a bar two years ago and some fresh out of college broker/trader type guys got off the train and sat down for a drink and they overheard me reciting a list of embarrassing moments in Cub’s history. Well they didn't like me talking bad about the Cubs and asked why I'm so bitter. I explained to them how the Cubs were such a laughing stock when I was young and how they had spent 20 consecutive years finishing in the bottom half of the league. I then asked them if they knew about the embarrassing experiment when they didn’t have a manager and instead rotated weekly who was...

Awestruck
AWESTRUCK
Floating through , fourteen steps from my view , she was the energy in the parlor. Politicals, 5 Stars, Ambassadors alike, each held a word on their tongue , blurt, shrug, defray, sparse and naked of clamor ,how quickly caustic recourse surrendered , fourteen steps away , now all puffery gladdened to join Pageant extras. I wondered , were there moments Marylyn left her charisma askew? keenly aware her hypnotic control ruled mostly the men , but the ladies too. Not with jealous eye but engaging admires no questionnaire could ratify. No one will tell cuz no one Can tell....

Quixote Impossible
QUIXOTE IMPOSSIBLE
A dire quest now requires you
To get deep enough into situations to risk awkward
to be brave enough with no vacillation, to go onward
To recognize delicacy, be armed with intricacy, reversing inaccuracy born of those who have come from before , yet still dive straight into the maelstrom, preplan with detour designed to decline advice sure to come, to adapt and commit to be what It must be , plow through shocked shivered looks faced on companions that usually trust me.
Realize it’s just begun, expect no pity or glory, this war, this story...

Cliche’ No Longet
CLICHE’ NO LONGER
“Once Burned” , my inner voice whispered, unable to finish the cliche’
“Tis Better to Have”, brain lock again, why care what others say?
Honestly, I usually lie to cover up regret
I ignored her needs , Wow! I said that Out loud, It’s my FAULT that she left
One Step, miles to go at least a thousand
Chin deep in a self dug rut, alone on a deserted island
Libraries have many self help books , I checked out nine or ten
Ego aside with buried pride, Meditate, tap into powers of Zen
Priorities straight, humble heart anew,...

Thelonious Reborn as the Dee Oh Double G
Thelonius Reborn as the Dee Oh Double Gee
If we rhyme metaphorically , reach back historically, spit out new styles just like Miles, compose tunes that Trane, John Coltrane, would b proud to compile, or like the Bird, Charlie Parker, bravely brake rules, take take take, the music apart, do you honor Darwinian progress? Do you demand excellent art? Then you might might b from Hip- Hop, yeah, that's where many geniuses start.
It's simple, it's like nature, there is no fakers, take Common or Chet Baker. Satchmo begets Biggy, Tupac was influenced by Dizzy. Discerning ears...

A Forever Doom
A FOREVER DOOM
There are those dislodged by misfortune that still must carve a path.
One man one case
barraged by weight of all the world’s wrath
Twisted strife, pure wickedness , that speaks to mythical duress the sharpened knife of heaviness many points of pain did coalesce
Betrayal unimagined as his certainty stoked that blazing fire that is hope
Words and actions promises that interloped
He is not naive not quick to commit to frivolity or lark
Rather, now his calloused veneer has taught never again to start
A sacred pact of conscious...

I Left
I LEFT
Now I’m gone and you should’ve known
That I’d be gone when all your Coven costumes were sewn , with duplicity and lies you tried to keep the story intact. You surprised with the ease of deceit you were enabled to enact
A tale of flawed origin
why did we even interact?
now I’m gone, and I think you should’ve known
yeah I’m gone the day your evil seeds were sown
A clever construct of lies that you used as a disguise. Now I need a vaccination , spiritually wise, all your excuses and your stories I’ve come to despise
so I am gone and you...
