“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

“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!

“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?

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”

Greece
While roaming
The ancient ruins for Greece
Breathe deeply
And let the moment freeze

“No place is ever as bad

Greece
Sightseeing, travelling or shopping
There is no time for stopping
Try on and off the buses hopping
You never know,
Where you will be next a popping

In the gorgeous seas
Watching
The clouds filling the sky to affinity

“No place is ever as bad
as they tell you it’s going to be.”
Chuck Thompson
Greece
Around the wide wide world
Me and my camera are hurled
If there is one thing sure
There is no time for snoring
Because, no place is ever boring

Visiting
The ever graceful
Land of Greece
Beautiful beaches
As far as
The eye can see

“This ain’t no wishing well”
Gun Roswell
Wish
Dear gods of weather
Hear my plead, my wish for the better
Please, release this wintery tether
And unleash the summery breeze of feather
For this view of now gives no pleasure
These times are no fun nor leisure
So dearies, this is no order nor push of pressure
Just send us that damned warm weather!
