“Thinking hard or hardly moving one thought?” Gun Roswell
Thinking
Mind in full spin-cycle
As my thoughts its trying to tackle
I feel like i am about to chuckle
But then lost in another puzzle
My brain is trying to hustle

“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!

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?
Who am I?

“The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.”
—Philip Roth
Who am I?
They call me odd
They call me weird
I say: “off you sod”
I still won’t stop!
Writing, writing, writing
Hard at least trying
Fighting, fighting, fighting
My daily life be damned!
I may be odd
I may be weird
Maybe some day
I will get my pay
For dreaming the impossible
Is it really that unusual?
There may be some obstacles
But in the end, there may be applause
And then
I can call myself

What, is Poetry?
Posted in Simply Poetry
“Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
― Leonard Cohen
What, is Poetry?
What, is poetry?
A bird singing in the trees
A child playing in the streets
A loved one being seen
What, is poetry?
Rain fall, on a summer’s day
A relative, who came to stay
A new kitten, hard at play
What, is poetry?
A new shiny handbag
A day of feeling sad
Good company, in your tiny flat
What, is poetry?
A shadow on the wall at night
A choice to leave from a fight
Someone’s whisper, of a word of kind
What, is poetry?
A fading memory, making you smile
An old song, making you want to jive
A co-worker, giving you a high five
What, is poetry?
A beautiful display, outside the window
A messy hair, where the wind blows
Success, when you finally learnt to sow
What, is poetry?
Simply life,
With a touch of strife
And whether you choose, to smile

“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!

“I am a doctor, not a magician!” Leonard McCoy
Homage to DeForest Kelley (1920-1999)
I am a doctor, not a doorstop
I can go on nonstop
I am a miracle worker
Maybe even a tearjerker
Concocting cures for all ailments
I have the treatments
No matter if my patients
Be alien or human
Even if the Yeoman
Came down with the flu
I have the cure and the clue
On what to do
So maybe I am a magician
The premium edition
And even that green blooded
Gosh, darn, crud it…Vulcan
Has to admit it
And I am loving every damned minute!

Carrie Fisher
RIP Carrie Fisher
Actress, writer, a super hero
Your delicate frame, reminiscent of a sparrow
In your mind a giant, a role model for tomorrow
You played a princess on the screen
For us, you’ll be, the truest of royalty ever seen
May the Force be With You…Always.
