Development of a Poem: The Limited Ones (Part II)

As the poem continued to grow, I started to get uneasy with everything that I was writing. I'd been anguishing over individual words for days. I thought it was close to being done, but not quite. I liked what I was writing, but I was afraid it might convey a feeling or message that I wasn’t... Sign in to see full entry.

Development of a Poem: The Limited Ones (Part I)

Below is an excerpt of an e-mail I sent to my wife while on my way home on the USS Essex a couple weeks ago: I started putting some ideas together for another poem. I haven't got it to come full circle yet, but I think it's about what I don't like about television and American society in general.... Sign in to see full entry.

Development of a Poem: History

Several people recently have commented on a few of my latest poems and some of the comments I’ve left regarding how I write them. After some of the questions I've received, I thought perhaps it might be interesting to others for me to make a departure from just posting a poem and give a little more...

The Limited Ones

Bloodshot eyes watch a cynical world Through the bright noise of a screen Their view of perfection tainted By the frames of the sick and twisted Drawn in and intoxicated, the masses are teeming forward Life by design insanity is happening across the board The world sacrificed for sale, an altar...

Palace of Youth

This morning I lighted upon a whim As I went and sat upon the old jungle gym It now calls to me from a different light Such a fanciful thing, colored and bright It's a palace of dreams that once stood in my mind But to the times that I've had I've long since said goodnight This castle before me now...

Another Energy

Feeling like I feel this day I’ve never known how to live this way My reducing cell remains undefined Blurring my twisted sense of time There’s something else here, like walls unseen That cause the air to tremble between With this something else, I’m heard no more But this boy who cried wolf never...

Talent:Poison

A prick of a thorn festered and grew And became everything that I thought I knew But when I turned and tried to walk away I became this thing that I am today Twisted and bitter, blistered and burnt I never imagined this kind of hurt So now you see what I was meant to be But that doesn't change the...

Tear the Ground

Every time I look around To find the source of the silent sound My sense of space is lost to me Warp my mind's reality There's a center here I cannot find The eye of the storm hidden inside Ripped apart by wailing winds My journey towards the rage begins I feel it coming Feel it overwhelming me With...

Moonlight on the Pacific

It’s a full moon over the Pacific On the Essex, the seas are calm A night full of mystical wonder But all I can think of is home Of my wife and unborn daughter Of tomorrow’s long-awaited return Of her radiant smile and laughter Of everything that makes my world turn The wind rushes over the flight...

Revelations

Reaching for the rainbow Chasing nimble dreams Lends itself to the realization Things aren't what they seem I've run after shadows Looked up to the sky But movement such is not quite right I'm asking myself why Who am I to judge myself? What's wrong with being me? How can I justify happiness?... Sign in to see full entry.
