I'VE NEVER READ A BAD POEM
OPINION
I was just thinking,
which I dare and do
some of the time.
I was thinking about how
everybody and their
friends and enemies
have opinions about
poets and poetry.
Which is great and
acceptable to me as
a free tinker and
non-respecter of persons.
The gamuts of opinions run from
fools to brilliant, from academia, to
smart, professional, and illiterate.
I believe, and I'm not asking
anyone to agree with me,
that every poet has the
right to express what emotions,
mind, heart, and...

WHY I COMMENT ON POEMS
HONOR
It is an honor,
to me, for me,
to read the poems
and writings of
others, regardless of
where they appear;
even on toilet walls
NO,
not to sit in judgment,
criticize, or evaluate,
but to enjoy, meditate,
and appreciate what the
writer has put into the poem.
Some are written out of joy,
some out of sadness, anger,
sexual arousal, being coy;
others seek to challenge
and create questions,
and even confusion which
is good at the time.
While I recognize spelling errors,
syntax...

THOUGHTS ABOUT POETRY WRITING
SELF-DISCOVERY
I do not
write poetry,
poetry writes me.
I do not have to
search for words,
words find me;
I freely and openly
sin against syntax.
I never know
the ending, the
ending is a surprise.
There is never
a disappointment
because my ever-present
Muse knows best.
I do not write
because I have to,
I write because
it is in my DNA.
I am not concerned
about critics;
I am my best critic.

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...

Get Off My Back
I’ve listened to you babble
Your insidious remarks for too long
Witnessed your psychotic baffle
Whenever you felt the need to become headstrong
I’ve felt your jealous rage
As if it were brandishing my nerves
I leave traces of you on every page
Without the knowledge it deserves
I hear your grimacing cocky tone
Mocking my conscious decision to write
All the while making your presence known
We squabble for a position in this fight
I can taste the bitterness you eat
It’s like a buffet for two
Always sour never sweet

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

POETRY IS LIKE . . .
I read and hear a lot
of discussion and arguments
relative to what constitutes poetry
or what is a poem?
No one knows how many kinds
or types of poetry there are;
some estimate 50-plus,
with the more popular being:
rhyming, open-end, acrostic,
ode, sonnet, epic, haiku, story,
free verse, experimental, etc.
In my opinion, which I have a right to have,
poetry is a painting on a canvas: a
piece of paper, napkin, computer screen,
an emptying of the soul for self
expression and maybe a light, thought,

A Bolero of Failure
Suffering through the reveries of another unkempt day
The melodies of yesterday still dig at my ears
Worming deep tunnels into darker pageants of prose and refrains
Words fall onto the yellowed pages of my soul
Often bothersome with the rhythms of just out of tune chords
The folly of the careless orchestra suffers me greatly
The tempo of time so unfairly in sync counting down forever to an awing crescendo of my darkest passions
Fleeting words as ghost notes betray my hands, echoing my minds torment
Lost in the after...
