I Should Not Stop For Death, But
I sould not stop for Death—Impatience— Spurred my footsteps on— His carriage lingered at the gate— But I had long since gone— -- The daisies whispered at my heels— The wind implored me stay— Yet Time unbuttoned from my grasp— And swept the road away— -- I met the dawn with breathless haste— Too swift to turn—too late—...

A Tale of Supply and Demand
Tale of Supply and Demand Some sloppy light has fallen down, Where checkered mice drive kittens mad, And all the cheese is owned by dogs Who ride all night on giant slugs. Into this pool of sloppy light There slips a merman, small and slick, Whose only flaw is eating toads (He...

Premium Member The Slant Rains
THE SLANT RAINS They grew up in the same sprawling city Didn’t meet until they became neighbors He was struck by the radiance of her beauty The first time he saw her in twilight hours. With fantasy of love months passed him by He couldn’t muster the courage to talk to her Except for uttering smile-laced passionate ‘Hi’ Whenever they chanced to cross...

Scattered Rhymes With the Occasional Slant and Little Meaning
When the poems sound ordinary, change your pattern of life. Live more than write awhile. Go out and run a mile. Get yourself a new wife. Visit an observatory. Sit and zone awhile. Witness something vile. Fall deep in love. Be reaped by love. Break a woman's heart. Get your heart broken. Just press down the lead to start, the only saving token. Write, live with vigor and unatched hunger of...
