Violets (two)

“Flowers are restful to look at.
They have neither emotions nor conflicts”
Sigmund Freud

Violets

Hiding, from the scorching sun
Their beauty set to stun
For that special someone
Who dares to look and become one
With nature’s fun

Violets

Pretty in purple
Sometimes, quite regal
Beauty nonverbal
Always, universal

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, and a Writer
Write More, Complain Less
Stuck Between a Poem and a Hard Place
I am Out of Order for Today

I am Out of Order for Today

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“The elevator to success is out of order.
You’ll have to use the stairs… one step at a time.”
Joe Girard

I am Out of Order for Today

Call it
A writer’s block
Or a total lock
My mind just
Put up the sign

“Empty room
For hire”

I will not pine
Somewhere
The fire
Can be found
Lifting me
Off the ground

To unblock
I will catch
The hook
To unlock
My writer’s mind

Stuck Between a Poem and a Hard Place

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“Breathe-in experience,
breathe-out poetry”
Muriel Rukeyser

Stuck Between a Poem and a Hard Place

I am a poet
But did not know it
Now I am writing
Lyrics without biting
The bullets
My mind to the fullest
Hammering the keyboard
Not a big chore
No, not anymore

Ever since I started
I cannot be parted
From the blank page
That clean slate
Words pouring
My heart roaring
I feel elevated
Totally animated
Full of excitement

I am completely and utterly
Lost in Poetry

A poem a day keeps the Shrink at bay!

Write More, Complain Less

Posted in Throwback Thursday: Treasures from the archives

“Complaining is easy,
writing is hard”
Gun Roswell

Write More, Complain Less

Why do I write?

Simply, because it feels right
If I did not write
The page would be quite white
Therefore, I continue to write

Write more, complain less!

“I’m a writer and, therefore,
automatically a suspicious character”
Alfred Hitchcock

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, and a Writer

Looking into
A writers mind
You may phew
On what you find

Look in,
Carefully

Surprisingly
Lurking
Emerging

A

Tinker, Tailor,
Soldier, Sailor,
Rich Man, Poor Man,
Beggar Man, Thief

Peeping Tom, Stalker
Pervert, Prude
Sister, Brother
Loud Mouth, Mute

A

Antagonist
Protagonist
Killer, Saviour
Bad behaviour?

Winner, Looser
Coward, Hero
Or simply a Zero?

Storyteller, Liar
Truth teller, Denier

A questionable character?
Or just a clever Actor?
Psychopath,
Or, on a Path?

Writer, Politician, or a Crook?
Did I get you hooked?

Open Sesame (two)

Posted in Mundane Monday

“I like to make the mundane fabulous
whenever I can”
Rufus Wainwright

Open Sesame

…The carriage of comfort
Has lifted you upwards
Your destination dead ahead
Nothing more left to be said
