Writer’s block
is only
a failure of
the ego.

summer rain begins
adding to humidity
plants don’t seem to mind
dry lakes need water
nature knows her job

Poem:
.
a long week without writing a poem
wanted to be happy, but I kept watching the news
have this feeling I’m at the bottom of the totem
can’t listen to the music when it is only the blues
can’t pick a color, to me all lives matter
don’t they care about whose lives they shatter
burning and looting is not peaceful protest
the only thing they could pass is an anarchy test
will the peaceful majority rule at the next election
or will the minority socialist make the selection
what will happen when there is nothing left to give away
that empty feeling when all that’s left is to hope and pray
maybe God can come back into the picture
the lessons, the history are all in the scripture
the pandemic rages on, no common sense
what can I get with my last two cents
happiness is my new found prize
I have learned to laugh at the politicians lies

“What can be
explained
is not poetry.”

Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
prose
not poems
stream of conscious
stoned hippies ruined poetry
meaningless

how fast is the mind
speed of light
to quick to forget

Poem:
.
they read the same paragraph
there were two different opinions
they saw the same photograph
neither had the same visions
who is to judge right or wrong
as long as nobody gets hurt
providing the price is just a song
given that the first course is dessert
how important is it anyhow
this too shall pass
does it make one raise the eyebrow
does it make you first in class
be tolerant, allow others to be right
be patient, prayers are answered in God’s time
be forgiving, be willing to give up the fight
be generous, brother, can you spare a dime
be the person God wants you to be
a soul that is happy, joyous and free.
