free enterprise, baby
when all the world is
bought and bartered;
when all is tallied
and weighed;
what do you own?
and
who owns you?
Just another night and another lie
Can’t pinpoint
The moment when life did become this
It’s just another night
And another lie
You keep telling to me
Because this time
It is too late for you to turn back home
So don’t drive back home
Drive to that other one’s house and stay
Because that is what you have kept doing so long now
You didn’t think I knew about that?
Well I did
And stop that
It’s just another day making mistakes
How we all make mistakes in life
Cheating is never mistake
It is choices and decisions
You made
And you weren’t even drunk
So what is your excuse this time?
We ain’t together on this anymore
You keep driving somewhere else all the time
And I won’t turn blind eye on it
Never again
It’s over this time
Because I’m making out alive
But this love won’t be
It has been dead long time now
I just didn’t want admit it
Life hast to be more than this

Worn stones face the wind,

bones of the earth, offering

What's your favorite book or essay on Emily Dickinson?
Can be a straight bio or something more akin to criticism. Any style, straightforward or more creative. Old or new, doesn't matter.

To get up and take another shot

Won’t even say what it is I’ve got

Poetry does not have to be complex to be meaningful. Sometimes, simple language is the most powerful tool.

Poetry does not have to be complex to be meaningful. Sometimes, simple language is the most powerful tool.
That is the reason why I write haiku, create poetic forms, and run magazines. Words can absolutely transform the way we see the world.

#ScribesAndMakers 5 Nov: There was a snake in the road...
There was a snake in the road
who had a good lunch with a toad
he took a siesta
but a fast Ford Fiesta
squashed him into flat mode.
(Bad limerick, but 😂 )
North: COLD NIGHT
you must bundle up
step out into the cold night
you feel your breath freeze
South: ROAD
it is a long #road
we all have our own to walk
on to redemption
"samurai unicorns carouse since nauseous vaccinees
are nonvenomous."

Walking on the Ceiling
Being on top#alternativeLiving #christ #generosity #life #Money #poem #Poetry #UpsideDownKingdom #Writing
of this world
means
nothing.
That is why
our endeavor
is often called
the upsidedown
kingdom.
We are to be
educated in
a new kind
of gravity.
When we walk
on the ceiling,
the things in
our pockets
fall out.

Exhibition: A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle
6 Nov–6 Dec, Scottish Storytelling centre, Edinburgh – free
Painter Alexander Moffat marks the centenary of Hugh MacDiarmid’s epic poem A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle – a landmark of modern Scottish literature

She, or: Then
A Senryū
she ruined dating by being interesting then disappearing
Tanka Tuesday
For Tanka Tuesday, we are invited to write a senryū.
Senryū?
A senryu has three or more lines in a short–long–short pattern, such as 2–3–2, 3–5–3, or the traditional 5–7–5 syllables, totaling approximately twelve syllables in shorter forms. It neither rhymes nor uses metaphors or similes.
Senryu explore love, personal experiences, human foibles, and life’s awkward moments, often with irony, humor, or sarcasm. Tone is central, though humor is not required. Unlike haiku, which focuses on evoking a feeling, senryu focuses on the human condition and makes a point.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

in the darkness
I can be anyone’s ghost
in the darkness
I’m happily graceless
in the darkness
occasionally
trouble will find me
in the darkness
occasionally
I’ll be the sleep well beast
The mighty Mavors, jealous to behold
A Mars more mighty nor himself below,
Did once resolve his rivall to ore’throw…

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child’s balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying

Fog shroud
and clouds
(when the clock
chimed late
in the heavy
November night-

the mystery
for a greater

off a whole
white full

above the white
thin chimney-
stalk of the
new Dawsholm
incinerator…

Womanhood
When I was three,
a tsunami hit town.
“Daddy, Daddy, save me,
don’t let me drown.”
He saved me
and my common-type dolls.
When I was sixteen,
another tsunami hit town.
I cried to my daddy,
“Daddy, Daddy, please save me,
don’t let me drown!”
But he let go of my hand!
I still dance
to what broke on my life.

NO DESEO ABRIR LA BOCA
“No deseo abrir la boca
¿A qué podría cantar?
En mí, a quien la vida odia,
tanto da cantar que callar.
¿Acaso debo hablar de dulzura
cuando siento tanta amargura?
Ay, el festín del opresor
me ha tapado la boca.
Sin nadie al lado en la vida
¿a quién dedicar mi ternura?
Tanto da decir, reír,
morir, existir.
Yo y mi forzada soledad
con mi dolor y mi tristeza.
He nacido para nada
mi boca debería estar sellada.

Did you know that right now in #America if you stripped every #Multimillionaire and #Billionaire to only $20million, and re-disturbed their #wealth to the rest of #Americans, each American would get a one time payment of around ~$87,087.00, now as a member of the 34.5 million people that live in #poverty in this country, that could be a massive boost, sadly it wont last long, currently I am at around $16k a year if I am lucky, the median #income in #America is ~$46,960 per year, so that ~$87,087.00 for the average American is only a 2 year buffer assuming they have the ability to directly stick it into a high yield savings, for someone like me, if I choose to remain in #poverty mode, I could maybe have a 5.5year buffer, and as much help I need right now, that simply is not enough to insure my health stability security or my future even at 48 years old currently, worse then stripping and re-disturbing that wealth is taxing it, as much as I hate to say it, taxing them harder will not trickle down to those of us in poverty and will do nothing for the average American either, personally I despise the wealth inequality there is, and I personally I believe no person needs nor should be allowed to have beyond $20million, but as of right now, there is no way to actually right the inequality and actually make a lasting and meaningful impact for all;

the flower in the pavement
they call it a weed
though it blooms,
it blooms!
they try
to kill what survives;
with gall to rise
from the festered earth
the stone, the unwelcoming
womb of
civic planning;
they call every
flower a weed that
isn’t bought;
and that’s the difference –
the key –
you can’t buy weeds.
At some point
in our lives
we all of us
embark upon...

It is the morality of man that measures his representation in the scrolls of time, for when you cross morality fidelity ideology and faith, you begin to make supplications as well as excuses to justify your lapsing morality, for when the ground beneath your feet begins to shift, it is then you must dig in your heals and stand on what is morally right, or you will fall for what is wrong;
