Poems that were temporarily offline (cross posted)
It was only by tinkering with the website template that I realized there were a handful of previously published poems still in draft status. That has been corrected and I think I have the full list below. Please also note that the entire time, however long it has been, you could have found these poems …
God of Public Stanzas
God was rather mean, interjecting in today’s poem, “I will not be there when you need me / next, because you could not follow my lines” – and it was true I did not write down the words and phrases He/She was attempting to feed to me, but this spiteful God that is more of …
I do not like a recent poem (cross-posted)
I do not like the poem “state house fairground,” even though I know it is quite good. I cannot tell you why I do not like it. I know intellectually that it is masterful. I had great difficulty writing it, because it has too many layers and complex twisted meanings that I do not think …
I woke about 10 pm and God is here. We talked about poetry.

Last month I wrote a rather important poem. It is important because it focused down on my testimony and insight into the United States. It is not easily understand or deciphered. However, such are the conditions I can say I am a witness to. If there is an afterlife, I will offer what insights I …
Reposting: Clarification of a poem
Lots on wordplay in the poem I wrote this morning. I suppose it helps to know that “love-in-idleness” is just another phrase for heartsease, which is a flower, a pansy, the type that most hybrids come from, Viola tricolor, / family Violacease. Play on heart /mix of/ word refrain (musical), symphonies, lecture halls, decry, shifting …
Half-truths are like bad poetry (trivial notes)
By nature people tend to see and hear and they want to see and hear. It really cannot be helped and isn’t going to be washed out of them in the space of a few social media messages. And yet, the all intellectual, justice-striving liberal left has no problem making fun of these very people …
