On The Run
Excuse me, dear reader
Have you seen this perpetrator?
He was last spotted in an alphabet speeder
On his way to your reading applicator
He’s the head of the letter gang
His bodyguards are A-Z
He stole my poem and now must hang
Nobody rips off team Napo and me
It is very urgent this perp is found
I only have 7 hrs left
Till a strike hits the ground
And he gets away with theft
Put yourself in my shoes
You must write one piece a day
In this competition, you will lose
If your poems go astray
So please do what I ask ...

Fetching Me A Poem
Distractions work well
When I’m thinking about what to write
It doesn’t matter where I dwell
My poetry factory is always in flight
My wife is at work
My daughter is in school
My inspirations a total jerk
And I’m still blanking out like some washed-up fool
The silence is lonely
This empty house is quite boring
This is my testimony
How writing poetry can be so choring

Second Wind
I’m sweating letters from my pores
Must keep up my pace in these Napo wars
I’ve been through hunger strikes and sores
To brain freezes both in and outdoors
I put meals on wheels on speed dial
My wife’s cooking deserves a trial
Mars and Venus are out of alignment
I can barely continue this assignment
Someone, please force me to stop
Or at least take the reigns and make it a co-op
I can’t feel my fingers anymore
This verbiage stew is hard to ignore
My stomach growls
This persistence howls
My light bill’s growing

Queen of Literature
Poetry is the queen of literature
It is what I write
how I delight
alone in a candlelit dark
when I finally embark
Using a literary hammer
to pound out the grammar
let the words make the rules
using just poetry's tools
Ride the line breaks
that the poem makes
taking the time
to savor each rhyme
Knowing deep inside
that the poem will abide
all of these things
ever light on poetic wings
Able to finally behold ...

Inking
A thick splash of ink
does make me rethink
make me again feel
the thrilling spill of the write
Bathed in the viscous flow
still left willing to know
all that there is...
all that there may be
Thoughts become words
words become lines
how each one then defines
the essence of who I am
Put it down on the page
whether pure folly or sage
left as indelible proof
that I was once here
How I did willfully roam
in pursuit of the poem
lived a life that was brinking ...

Waiting
Come to me so that I may be free
Free of your captors that hinder me
Why must you be so damn evasive
Let me give birth in a perfect oasis
You are my only food for thought
Without you I do this for naught
All my creativeness is on hold
Just cycling through my mind until told
Inspiration is a thief that holds the key to my mind
I’m just juggling the words that I’m desperate to find
My canvas is blank and my pen is dry
My mind’s an open book awaiting satisfaction to fly
I need your influence
I need you to guide
Quit being a...

Mazed
Sometimes the rhymes
seem to dodge
to elude
escape into the night
Leave me here to write
without any ink
unable to think
or worse unable to feel
A lone bell left to unring
stale words to be taken back
expunge all of the black
bleach the page forever white
Always in need of some rite
to amuse my muse
make her finally choose
once more join the game
seem to dodge
to elude
escape into the night
Leave me here to write
without any ink
unable to think
or worse unable to feel
A lone bell left to unring
stale words to be taken back
expunge all of the black
bleach the page forever white
Always in need of some rite
to amuse my muse
make her finally choose
once more join the game

Sculpt
The poem preexists
within the blank page
waits for me to engage
As I light the candle
dip the quill
remain forever still
Until the time is right
select each word
refining each line
Sculpt each stanza
taking my poetic time
until I release the rhyme
within the blank page
waits for me to engage
As I light the candle
dip the quill
remain forever still
Until the time is right
select each word
refining each line
Sculpt each stanza
taking my poetic time
until I release the rhyme

An Inconvenient Rhyme
How is it I do find the time
turn any old rhyme on a dime
lace them all together on the end
as I still try… desperate to pretend
There is nothing at all prosaic
in this last most vast mosaic
this frayed collage of a torn life
ripped apart with a buttered knife
Just to avoid getting to the point
avoid becoming another saint to anoint
turn any old rhyme on a dime
lace them all together on the end
as I still try… desperate to pretend
There is nothing at all prosaic
in this last most vast mosaic
this frayed collage of a torn life
ripped apart with a buttered knife
Just to avoid getting to the point
avoid becoming another saint to anoint

Rhyme and Verse
It is the very world
where I live
where I thrive
the literary air I breathe
Engaged with a poem
whispering each word
so that it is only heard
by me
As I enter the page
fully engage
in the poetic flow
the artistic scene
Leave the prosaic
step back from the mosaic
finally able to view
all of its totality
Within this dear poetry
taking my time
tickled with rhyme
conversing in verse
where I live
where I thrive
the literary air I breathe
Engaged with a poem
whispering each word
so that it is only heard
by me
As I enter the page
fully engage
in the poetic flow
the artistic scene
Leave the prosaic
step back from the mosaic
finally able to view
all of its totality
Within this dear poetry
taking my time
tickled with rhyme
conversing in verse

Trade Winds
I want to write my tale
beneath a trimmed sail
sun at my back
breeze in my face
Taking me to that place
where words meet paper
lit by a flickering taper
drowning in a spilt ink
No longer needing to think
unending time convolved by rhyme
beneath a trimmed sail
sun at my back
breeze in my face
Taking me to that place
where words meet paper
lit by a flickering taper
drowning in a spilt ink
No longer needing to think
unending time convolved by rhyme

Felicity
It is the reason I write
pen deep into the night
these fine lines of verse
with which I converse
Wanting so to confess
now completely express
while I feel the electricity
of pure poetic felicity
Revealing all that I now think
with just a modicum of ink
pen deep into the night
these fine lines of verse
with which I converse
Wanting so to confess
now completely express
while I feel the electricity
of pure poetic felicity
Revealing all that I now think
with just a modicum of ink
