into an ebony sky,
when bats begin to fly.
Silence seeks sounds to amplify;

wolves howl and cry;
when bats...

A ThunderstormA shy sun hides behind dark clouds
as spiders spin silk into shrouds.

the birds are unable to fly.
Fueling thunder's loud clashes,
lighting...

Calling to another as a life-long mate,
searching to find a love he can call his own
and form a bond so strong it shall not abate.
Death cannot these creatures’...

Last Minute PoemI wrote this at the last minute.
You know,
the minute before, I raced out the door.
I scrawled it out until the paper tore.
The thoughts I wanted to convey
about another hurried, scrambled day.
I spilled and splattered...

All hail The Silver Skins (with nudity optional)
Not another effort from The Lefts bleating masses, but the sparkily aristocracy of cerebral-celebritys; their binary-duality sweeping earth-wise.
I don't object to the subject necessarily. All Hell Breaks-Loose sometimes For Heaven's Sake...

With other kids on my block.

Resolved with single-mindedness

Didn't shatter into useless pieces, broken haggardly upon the floor.

InvisibleNo one ever comments on my poems.
Does anybody see them?
The view counter says yes, but I wonder

The grass is always greener, and a reason for their trivial mirth
Remember the green grows from dirt
We are all victims of light, Polaroid
