broke
the rules
many times
before I learned
to write inside lines
that give you the freedom
to know what is coming next
and lets others know what they can
expect when you don't cheat or forget

get
enough
of knowledge
and experience
to express what you mean
with the least words possible
containing feelings you would share
and readers will be lured to your flame

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.

flame
my work

so your eyes don't get sprayed.

Thankfully there'll be nothing left

re:
your last

much to start with
through clever design
or just by accident
so I’m left grasping at straws
on how to reply to your post
thus, a long meandering complaint

syncopate elocution

naught is too
curt; my critic,
obviously you,
proclaims that what I sent
appropriate and that I,
taking liberties as we do,
educed something by interaction

their mind-set
as the years pass
and the morals change
but most christian people

caring little for peer pressures

mainly, the eerie tale

me,
alone
in my fear
negates what I
likely know to be
yarns told, that are suspect,
turning off truth; it is a
horrid thing that my denial
evokes shivers to spread down my spine.

GIST OF BAD-LEND BIRDS

gull
is able
so often
to just un-lend
our fries by the gob
from our very hands. I
barely purchased our order
at the boardwalk when the rats had
dived down and relieved us of our fries.

fabricate seasoning

fries

reveal no clues
into how those two
can taste so darn good when
at the beach sunning but I
think it has to do with the fun
eating out instead of fine dining
