And Really

Words that I write and art that I create Neither gritty nor cute enough to take It is quite colorful, but a teensy bit odd Come by and see it and give me the nod Face may be green, or a portrait of feet Or complex, hard to get, it can’t be beat Is it […]

Spot On

When everything in life you daily fought Are things with which your life is fraught While you feel you’re doing all you ought All your efforts add up to less than naught Make sure you’re not in your trap caught Dream, hope and try for what you sought Recall, it is within, not things you […]

The Invisible Avatar

Hello? Can you hear me? Can you see me? I hope you can because I fear I’ve become invisible. It’s not everywhere or all the time. It’s not at home or when I’m out in the world. In fact, it’s really only when I’m online. Strangely, I’ve been noticed more recently by strangers. I’ve been […]

Light, A Distant Vista

Responsible, preoccupied, needs, daily duties, urges to create Atlas beneath my half sky inventing my truth in beauty before I’m late Days fast-paced, so full of shoulds and musts to meet and answer When so few seek either truth or beauty; they don’t pay the financier Is shielding the candle flame from darkness worth the […]

More Not Than There

Some Old Miser

Why must our television shows be so lurid, Video games blood-splattered in crime, war? Is it evil buried in our psyche or in our id? Think we crack a whip, make the tiger roar? The game is rigged, tiger behind every door No matter our choice, streamed, disc or vid, Murder, mayhem our drug, demands […]

Truth Finds a Way

A hall of repeating patterns revealed Lines, squares, columns and capitals Straight, undulating, solo, combined Define our world in shapes and lines Like Booker’s seven basic story plots Shapes and line are limited and finite Until magical combination, creation World shown new, never seen before A secret we search for throughout life Our imperfect combinations […]

Expansion

Taiko drumming Vast energy I feel it Through the floor Below me Hear it, too Though I sit A floor below I hear it Filtered through Talk and chatter People passing Brief snippets To interpret As if my own Piercing shrieks Children Laughter, love   After nothing Nothing after For artist, writer Creatives all Seeing […]

Whatsoever

Have you ever Considered Are you aware Everything You believe Take on faith Is something You cannot prove Or, starting place For scientists So they know Which way To move Neither description Is infinitely Bad or good Unless humans Insert themselves Decree interpretation Telling you That a hammer A useful tool Is a weapon Hit […]
