    Poet’s Blade

      My blood has no tasteUnless served on a steel plate Sharp enough to chisel fine wordsThat bring primal color to this dinner Paper on a platterI consume to later vomitAcids merged with indigestible flavors Sick poems no one desiresThese cravings...

    • Quite often even the dark and distasteful thoughts must be laid bear. Maybe we’re under the impression no one cares, but people do relate. This is dark and disturbing. But life is too sometimes.

    • Powerfully penned, thoughtsdie. Amazing write with lots of layers my friend. Appreciate you.

    • I love this. Very powerful I can relate to this.
      Thank you for sharing this.

  • Hiya, I’m away running a forum on marketing for the English writer’s circle where I’m Treasurer, w-y-b?! So, have a lovely weekend and beware, if there’s… A Man, in The Room

    There was a Man, in The Room,
    I could have sworn It,
    A Man, in the Room,
    I might have borne It,
    Or was It just a Boy,
    Some worn, discarded Toy,
    A shattered,…Read More

  • The Blue Girl *

    As sole survivor in this zone, I walk up to the tanks alone,
    To estimate the bodies lost, extrapolate the human cost,
    Of nuclear warfare on the few, who live here in the fluid blue.
    The sludge inside the first urn stinks, of rotting flesh, violets and pinks,
    I wonder if, suspended here, this poor boy used to dream or…Read More

      than currently in possession”

      I have been feeling this a lot lately.

      • I think it goes back to the weight of the world these days. It takes so much energy to just survive…not a lot pouring into our cups. Thank you, Fia 😊

    • Feels like poetic intermission… a mist of words floating about
      I like the mood this invokes

      • Life is…a lot…these days. Intermission would be great, but who’s got the time? Thank you, Naaj 😊

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Excellent write that I can definitely relate to my friend. Inspiration is sometimes a bit of a process indeed. Chasing thoughts and having them slip away can be so frustrating. The life of a writer is kinda quirky when you think about it. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

      • The more we have on our the mind, the more jumbled it is up there. So polluted the words can’t find the exit. So they float around like wraiths on a stormy night. I’ll get my rhythm again. Just need a breather. Thank you, my friend 😊

    words slip
    in and out of thought
    tickling inspiration

    then drift…

    overwhelmed by their source
    they unravel
    wisping away from grasp

    probably just as well…

    takes more ink…
    than currently in possession
    let words refill the bottle
    while energy supply refreshens
