clouds and a moment
Clouds and a moment
When a cloud rolled over lake Michigan
cast an eerie spell of otherness over the lake
the stillness was profound when a bird
shrieked in horror.
When the cloud disappeared up yonder
a ferry crossed the lake's undulating water
reached the shore as a wet handshake
of monotony.

beautiful woman
saw the elderly woman on the bus reading beowulf and although there was nothing else
about her to attract me
I thought for that alone she was nevertheless rather lovely

Intellectual theft or quotation
The joy of creativity is being sincere about your ideas.
What ideas and values do you believe in?
Don't shy away from your own ideas and identity, and don't steal the ideas of others.
Because if you copy other people's ideas.
one day you will not find another identity has stolen.
Don't quote or impersonate a person or idea you don't believe in.
Because quoting and acting you are not good at it and you don't believe it.
It will make you lose your personality, your identity and your ideas.
You will become like a crow when it tries to imitate the gait of...

Sensible Writing
Authors should focus on sensible writing and not on the quantity of writing.
Poetry is not a contest to see which person can compose the most compositions.
Writing numerous poems is not automatically writing interesting poems.
The subjects you write about are more important than the amount of poems you write.
It is not the amount of compositions that you write makes you a good poet.
The contents and readability of a composition are the things that matters.
So it is better to write a few sensible poems than thousands of meaningless poems.

Readership
I’m more interested in readership than comments.
The readers don’t have to like my compositions.
I don’t have to answer questions about my poetry,
And neither do I have to respond to any comments.
Where is Shakespeare to answer questions from the readers?
Can anybody ask the writers of the Bible questions?
Frankly, I don’t care what people think about my work.
I write poetry as a hobby, not for financial benefits.
My main objective is to get readership for my poetry.

“nicholas blake”
no doubt he’d have disagreed with me, that his crime fiction
was better than his poetry, but
if so it’s an honest mistake ..

The Mania Explainia (A Modest Sonnet Cycle)
Sonnets? But why? Are they not a bore?
Did they not die out with the cavaliers
Or fade away in rune font times of yore?
Nay! They are here and cheer the eyes and ears!
Undisciplined verse lacks clever timing
Its untutored beat is ever a shame
But sonneteers with glorious rhyming
Jot glamourous thought for immortal fame!
When formless poems seem so poorly wrought
Sonnets gracefully tell their tales
And will not leave the reader so bestraught
Like those all too common free verse fails.
Melancholy denizens…rejoice!
Your night is...
Did they not die out with the cavaliers

And will not leave the reader so bestraught

Transience
The mind is to memory but a host
And the skull a vaulting ballroom of thought
Wherein hauntings by its cerebral ghost
Attempt a verbose waltz or brief foxtrot.
But a nebbish shell is doomed to plummet.
Even if the dome is skillfully braced
There's only so much we might get from it
Before passing years see it's face debased,
Yanked back into the dirt from whence it sprung.
Yet dancing shades of thought may leave a trace,
Just as clear as when church bells have rung,
Lacking only that once handsome face.
But I trow that...
And the skull a vaulting ballroom of thought
Wherein hauntings by its cerebral ghost
Attempt a verbose waltz or brief foxtrot.
But a nebbish shell is doomed to plummet.
Even if the dome is skillfully braced
There's only so much we might get from it
Before passing years see it's face debased,
Yanked back into the dirt from whence it sprung.
Yet dancing shades of thought may leave a trace,
Just as clear as when church bells have rung,
Lacking only that once handsome face.
But I trow that...

Ode to a Torn Page
Barbaric traditions beckon and plead
For the souls of men and women alike.
All with scripture must be neatly agreed
To keep their heads from the tip of a pike.
But patriot pagans are equally nuts
With their hatred of all foreign vagrants.
Cravings of violence churn in their guts
To burst forth brutal populist fragrance.
Just how do they afford those biker tattoos
Or veins pumped full of heroin and meth
All as fodder for the recovery blues
About some musician's premature death?
It's as if lives exist for poor choice
With lucid...

always thought it a locked door mystery which would have stumped agatha christie; how do slugs get in the kitchen at night ..
