Hi Daniel, wave.gif


I had forgotten about this one! Thanks so muchfor bringing it back - although I must confess - I can'trecall what the "two-wick-ed ones" are?

Is There a Write Time ?


If I've no time to write today

will something useful take its place?

Who'd ever know what I might say

if I've no time to write today?

Could my perspective have its sway

if left to drift away in space?

If I've no time to write today

will something useful take its place?

raise a largish glass to our Charles
who sings blues like only he can
with clicks, repetition and snarls
Raise a largish glass to our Charles
for amusement of lowly carls
from before time even began
raise a largish glass to our Charles
who sings blues like only he can

Alan
but a rather feeble effort - no nneed to argue !

My glass is filled with nectar of the gods:
Here’s to your health, and now a toast to me.
For Justin Case, a dram will beat the odds,
My glass is filled with nectar of the gods.
Next to the girls with tantalizing bods,
The restless youngbloods, mischievous and free;
My glass is filled with nectar of the gods.
Here’s to your health, and this is one for me.

MARITAL TRIOLET

I write a triolet per day
to keep my mind in exercise
my mind's made up, I have my say
I write a triolet per day
'I've all the housework while you play'
the wife has asked if this is wise
I write a triolet per day
to keep her tongue in exercise

Alan

PS NOT from life !

I write this triolet to play
with Alan while he learns the scheme.
While biding time with him today,
I write this triolet to play
his little game to light the way
while he's composing self-esteem.
I write this triolet to play
with Alan while he learns the scheme.

This Alan don't need instruction
with triolets he's often played
to virtual destruct-i-on
this Alan don't need instruction
while building up a construction
except when rhyme-scheme's disobeyed
This Alan don't need instruction
with triolets he's often played

Alan

PS But thanks !

Dear Alan,

I apologize for seeming presumptuous! I am always only attempting to be helpful without that sad characteristic. Please forgive me for it, would you? I'd thought you were experimenting here along with the others of us. I do, however, offer this observation:

Alan's wonderful always with forms
but his meter is often amiss.
He is eloquent when he performs;
Alan's wonderful always with forms,
but I must say his pace sometimes storms
off the norm in some metronome bliss.
Alan's wonderful always with forms
but his meter is often amiss.

offering further Light, Daniel sun.gif

MISSING MY METER - MY METIER

My metier is often to miss
the item that I'd rather hit
reward, lots of boos and a hiss
My metier is often to miss
especially when I reminisce
but do I care ? No, not one whit
my metier is often to miss
the item that I'd rather hit

Alan

Thank you for the new word for my vocabulary, Alan!!

Feel the beat! That is my métier
even sometimes when I'm writing 'free'!
I can touch it and smell the cachet
Feel the beat! That is my métier;
some would even say it's my forte.
Step inside every line, and you'll see;
feel the beat! That is my métier
even sometimes when I'm writing 'free'!

Nice one Daniel !

FEE FREE

Even most times, when I am writing free
I do it for the pleasure, not the pay
rarely's a fee involved in poetry
even most times, for I am writing free
I do it for the pleasure, and gladly
as that is my own choice, it is my way
even most times, when I am writing free
blast, damn it, for the pleasure, not the pay

Alan McAlpine Douglas

My days are filled with walking pain;
at night the loneliness creeps in
and tries to throttle me again.
My days are filled with walking pain;
I pop the meds but don't complain
and take my wheelchair for a spin.
My days are filled with walking pain;
at night the loneliness creeps in.

Much like the villanelle in form
but short so words must be concise
to share my thoughts. No verbal storm,
much like the villanelle in form.
One must be quick to plant the corm
in fertile minds. Three times, then twice;
much like the villanelle in form
but short so words must be concise.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

No reason I should sit and write
concisely or with lofty form
to place myself with folks polite.
No reason I should sit and write
out stanzas that ain't poor or trite
nor worry that they don't conform.
No reason I should sit and write
concisely or with lofty form.

Each form you’re wishing to perfect
takes lots of practice and much thought
to get it right. You may reject
each form. You’re wishing to perfect
a perfect phrase which will connect
with minds and hearts. What you have wrought…
each form you’re wishing to perfect
takes lots of practice and much thought.
