Great Flood
Information deluge saturates every crevice of frenzied life with paltry details drowning context, eroding intellect, Bending will into blind devotion To image. Mindless children float upon the rising water high on all that money can buy shackled to their ankles Anchoring them down, drug-induced...

Has It REALLY Been FOUR MONTHS Since I've Written Poetry?

An Ars Poetica
Visual cues evoke a range of reaction with linguistic color, evoking a singular beat of a human heart as it thrusts lifeblood into thirsting veins, natural expression of all that exists, ideals germane in precious discourse and device between poet and reader that must press far beyond the...
