Okay, things have gotten entirely too cerebral in here. It's time for me to bring things back to silly with some toilet humor.
Ode to a Load Pity the lowly dog turd, all brown like a rotten log, its fate to stink, and draw more flies, and be eaten by another dog. |

Reaching out
My window I try to grab hold of the wipers which are going to and fro and making more of a mess doing their job than if I had not commanded them to do so. I struggle a bit more, irritated that I can barely see what is looming in front of me It could be a tractor-trailer, an ally if only I could be sure of his spot. Of course, trailing the trailer led to more groanings from my once careful wipers. I pulled off the road. Once I deemed it clear enough, I slowly pulled out into traffic again.

Anticipation
The fluttery feeling of waiting The mental lists, the planning The should-I-get-those-earrings The can-I-break-those shoes-in? As I plan out what to wear Will I feel when I am there That the evening can compare To the fun as I prepare?

I am not a poet. I have terrible grammer and I've never taken a poetry class so I have no technical ability to write. I just string along words sometimes to try to express what I am seeing or feeling at the time.
Last night there was this incredible twilight. So out comes this jumbled prose. Lyrics maybe. I havn't felt inspired for a long time. Don't laugh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A mist falls on an early spring twilight like diamonds sprayed on grey silk. The Natural and erethrial coalescing in gods petrie dish Clouds like dripping watercolor stripe across the sky. Dark midnight blue holding captive the lighter hue of the day gone by. Smothered in it's sleepy grasp night time pulls the curtains down around the dark green pines. This day is done. Nature is once again motionless and undisturbed. Glowing picture windows in the distance seem to punctuate this atmosphere of untroubled contemplation. All is good. Night has come. |

IMHO, Art is in the eye of the beholder. Sky, your poem speaks to peoples hearts. I have no training either, but to me, your poetry is loftier than some of the so called "greats" of poetry. Don't apologize for sharing beauty.

Nice images Sky - don't put yourself down.
There was nothing there that I couldn't visualise - poetry can just be about capturing a moment, a feeling, a mood. I call the polaroid poems myself - which isn't to knock them at all.

Of course, my "Ode to a Load" is classic poetry.

sky, that was supreme. They were lovely, perfect, liquid, living images. They go quite well with Orb's remix of Hybrid's song, Higher Than A Skyscraper, by the way. For I be that.
Overturning, waves within Wrenching muscle, twisting skin Wrap your nether round my heart If it whines, don't let it in As the night seeps through the door Kitchen counter, bed and floor Far too drunk to cuddle now Don't you fret; I never snore Atmosphammers crack my head Morning breezes reek of dread Silent, quick, and lithe I leave Walking shoes are filled with lead

staying up again, way too late
with eyes that rest their lids upon my knees. unrest curdles in my torso, and stings my heart like angry killer bees my feet they long to roam, my ass it likes to sit so my mind will go and wander, until IT becomes unfit. Run this treadmill, run run run routine and money, cooking and cleaning obligation and sacrifice and indulgence in dreaming.

(Long wet brain fart/ was thinking lyrics to Some Song)
Rise from refuse Shake the sleep Wipe the crust From eyes set deep It purrs beneath My bony hands My shattered teeth Saliva glands Host of hours Westward bound Lingers late Yellow ground It does not weep For wasted time Does not change And never rhymes Taste its breath Through lips made thin Touch its death Translucent skin Love its heat Through quiet scars Sleep as embers Under stars Stoke the glow Electric sleep Gather crust As void lights creep It grows again Join the fray Fly to waste Another day

Somewhere,
along the way I took my hand away from, the long and snaking safety rail, I can't remember quite when. I noticed briefly ,then forgot, too busy running fult tilt, down the steep and studded hill, past the house that Jack built. When I recalled, and looked around, Saw nothing of my former ground, The safety rail had snaked away, And left me with no way home. |
