I wrote the first stanza in a comment to the poem 'Cover Me' by Duckie O., which inspired me.
Shall we dance in the moonlight
On a soft sandy beach
As you sing me soft melodies
My . . .

Am I too presumptuous to dare talk about writing a poem? I have no training in the science of poetry and do not know technical words associated with poetry. A comment was made to a poem I wrote saying . . .

I'm new to this poetry game. Yes, I have thought about having plastic surgery to have my nose point skyward, but fear some might insist I stop drinking Guinness beer and forego my belief in Leprechauns. . . .

Because I have two big left duck feet I am bound to step on a few toes. Actually, I rather enjoy stepping on the toes of anyone who is a control freak, politically correct, or likes to play tit for tat . . .

A wise child on the radio
Transcripts ruptured in a short tome
Of a story for the ages
But the pen lost its ink too soon
Holden reading from bathroom walls
Like Penrod's of this angst . . .

Her image lingered well into the night
I sensed her presence in a dawn so bright
It made me giddy 'though I was alone
Sweet plans of seduction ran through my bones
Certain flowers live on this higher . . .

The style and tang of refraction
Form elusive gifts we can share
In perceptive built illusion
Of improvisational air
That is stammering for relief
Like a question seeking belief
In quixotic . . .

Wish I was a genius
Or at least close enough
Solving any problem
Before I'd eaten lunch
Wish I had a dollar
For each mistake I've made
Rolling in the green stuff
Instead of save save save . . .

Reach to the sky and grasp the wind
For in it rainbows have melted
A secret song of tapestry
With threads of hope for you to seek
Sigh not for that you do not know
For change is but a . . .

Some who read this probably won't like my honesty, but I believe there are six reasons that many, especially fellow poets, don't read poems.

No names left to employ
Or sweat from a day's wage
Day and night blend as one
In emptiness like pain
Of footsteps heard no more
To gird the sunken brow
Where hopes once had glimmered . . .

It seems each day that passes the crankier I get, or that I'll need a reminder for something I'll forget. There's nothing right now I seem to have forgotten, but just give it some time and . . .

There's some illusion amongst a certain group of present academia and quite a few individuals, of whom some are quite powerful in the art world. I sadly learned all it took was a sharp upturned . . .

The day it lingered til the sun went down
Except of course in Alaskan towns
I tried correspondence no one read
I sharpened pencils then went to bed
The next day I sat and read some poems
Of those not . . .

Another verse another rhyme
Another thought conveys this time
It may be simple or complex
A hint of logic or nonsense
From crosses burned to carefree ways
From those of earth to neon play . . .

It rained today in buckets
The sky so gloomy and gray
Was that a flower laughing
I sang melodies alone
To the rhythm of the rain
The flowers might have heard me
For when the rain stopped falling . . .

This poem is a result of what I have seen in my neighborhood today.
Another Arrow
The bright sun greeted my morning
With a wink and warming smile
I could smell the roasting coffee
As songbirds . . .

EMPTY SHELVES
The shelves were often barren
Whispered joys once filled this room
There were hopes often shattered
Yet here they sat finely tuned
No presents graced holidays
The smile gave and . . .

The Book
A closed book can never answer
The inner feelings of the soul
Where right and wrong seek approval
As answers can't be found in stone
Reason lurks in every corner
As belief just . . .
