Vanguard
More than mere literary scouts
poets wrestle with all their doubts
they are truly ahead of their time
cataloguing life within each rhyme
Words well penned in the dark
can truly help to spark
a rolling cavalcade of ideas
an avalanche of understanding
Within these days demanding
poems allow us to feel
uncover all we conceal
to both others and ourselves
Beyond dogeared books on shelves
revealing what is real
even though living is hard
each bard remains a vanguard
poets wrestle with all their doubts
they are truly ahead of their time
cataloguing life within each rhyme
Words well penned in the dark
can truly help to spark
a rolling cavalcade of ideas
an avalanche of understanding
Within these days demanding
poems allow us to feel
uncover all we conceal
to both others and ourselves
Beyond dogeared books on shelves
revealing what is real
even though living is hard
each bard remains a vanguard

Revision
It is the part I love
the part I hate
as if stuck at the gate
of each and every poem
Leaving my thoughts roam
on the cusp of the write
left deep in the night
on the high teetering brink
Longing to spill more ink
but knowing I need less
leaves me here again to confess
all of my inadequacy
Like a soulful symphony
I still have left to pen
fear having to begin again
face the daunting blank sheet
Feel the weight of concrete
block upon block
to the rhythm of the clock
this painful...

Page
The white page is still
vacant...
seemingly shy
pure in her patience
awaiting the night
awaiting the write
like a virginal bride
bathed in anticipation
awaiting the creation
of the poem

Poetry's Ring
It is always just the thing
to gather in a ring
read the poetic words
recite the verdant verse
Lifting the grey curse
from all of our days
hearing each word
before it is heard
feeling it down deep
in this soulful splendid keep
to gather in a ring
read the poetic words
recite the verdant verse
Lifting the grey curse
from all of our days
hearing each word
before it is heard
feeling it down deep
in this soulful splendid keep

Motif
Why is it so hard to be brief
within any new motif
how this setting leaves me
in the delight of the write
How there is such little time
for me to delve in rhyme
to embrace this poetry
within the depth of the night
While I ride this flow of ink
right up to very brink
of finally being forever free
as an untethered kite
I then pen each elusive word
in the hope that it is heard
that one day it will be
a path to some new insight
But always having this fear

Poetry all night
Wee hours in the morning
My poetry’s still calling
Sun up
Sundown
Chin-up
Pen down
Nourishment is optional
Sleep is inoperable
Blisters are the game
SOTJ’s my name
Syllables and verbage soup
Cigarettes and coffee loop
Hemorrhage homage headaches
Nonstop poetical sweepstakes
Inspiration on the fritz
Number and alphabetical blitz
Words behind eyelids
Self-destructive bids

[The Quest for Rhyming]
The quest for rhyming
so much more than mere timing
true poetic glue

Blotch
I truly am only this
the brief kiss
of ink and paper
jotting my rhyme
like planning a crime
but leaving small clues
hoping to get caught
by what the poetry has wrought
a careful spill of ink
just keep you on the brink
the brief kiss

Woven
Words may be cheap
until they are pearled
until the poem is unfurled
line by line
Then all that they say
takes on new meaning
with a fresh gleaning
a refreshed perspective
Like grapes upon a vine
the passage of time
serves to mellow the rhyme
filling out the poetic flow
Until the moment arrives
to consecrate the write
now begin to recite
the spell within the stanzas
For enchantment is a literary term
cast deep inside the poem
allowing the heart to roam
once...

Blood into Ink
The purpose of literature is
to turn blood into ink" ~ T.S. Eliot
So, the poet must then bleed
to satisfy this need
this deepest desire
douse the gasoline fire
Drown the defiant page
quell the trembling rage
ink flowing from blood
consuming all within its flood
Leave any remaining doubt
thirsting in its own drought
to turn blood into ink" ~ T.S. Eliot

Knowledge Is Power, Poetry Is Law
I stand before you
The over-seer of all
The coup de gras of what’s true
The answer to every call
I exist beyond the mortal realm
Where time has no speed
Space and gravity will overwhelm
The weakest link with much greed
I have foreseen the distant future
And witnessed much destruction
Heard the cries from the Earth’s stupor
So I come to you with instruction
Lay down your feeble rights
And harken upon my words
Put an end to these pointless fights
Kill off your hatred like mocking birds
Redirect love into your souls ...

Wanted
I am the mastermind
That is highly sought after
The only one of my kind
Who’s more cunning than an actor
I topple the wanted charts
And am more elusive than Waldo
My pen creates works of fine arts
That can only be described as Bravo!
My craft is immense
With its own viral attitude
Clutching you by the throat in suspense
Superseding its own longitude and latitude
The fire traces from my ink
Glues the blades to my lines
So when its read you’ll need a shrink
To sop up what’s left of your minds
Everybody wants a piece...
