A MORE UPLIFTING SEQUEL TO "THE WAR GOES ON"! I'M BACK!

I got some sleep, spent some time with my two boys, got through the party, obviously have done all I can to the house before my son came home and now, I rest. THE WAR GOES ON…SEQUEL For a time, I did succumb To this war’s dread disease. Battle fatigue strikes everyone. It brought me to my knees.... Sign in to see full entry.

MEN GET POST PARTEM DEPRESSION TOO!

Some of you are going to think this is really strange, but now my boys are home and we have gone to bed, I crashed really hard. I think it is kind of like post partum depression. You would have to know me pretty good to really understand all that I'm going through right now. I am so happy both my... Sign in to see full entry.

O.K. I GOT TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST. IRAQ ISRAEL PALESTINE

Consider this a major bitch session. I am so sick of hearing so many people whine about "rights" and "reason" and "diplomacy". Let me explain to you about "rights" When you fire rockets on a daily basis with no guidance system into civilian populated areas, the country receiving those rockets have a...

TRUTH AND FABLE LIVE THERE - MY WIFE'S ART, MY POEM!

TRUTH AND FABLE LIVE THERE My eyes beheld a beauty My heart did covet hers. She'd not agree to have me And left me with my tears. Then a lovely artist girl Chanced to cross my way She agreed to be my wife. And in my heart she stays! There is a place within ourselves Where truth does not exist Where...

WHAT IF......

Wrote this for my wonderful wife when she was still in Ukraine and she missed a day of writing me. Almost like not getting a breath. WHAT IF… What would happen on a day The sun forgot to rise? There’d be no warmth to cheer my room; No light for sleepy eyes. What if night fell and there was No... Sign in to see full entry.

DID YOU EVER FEEL LIKE THIS? HOLDING ON

Some days I feel like a little leaf. HOLDING ON I saw a leaf upon a branch. It’s life did mirror mine. It hung there so precariously To wait it’s falling time. A raucous bird upon the branch Or stormy winter gale… Loose not your hold, tenacious leaf, Or off to death you sail. When the wintertime did... Sign in to see full entry.

SO TIRED! FIND THE TWIST IN THIS ONE!

See if you can catch the vicious circle in this poem! It is kind of funny. I really felt this today as I painted my boys room til 3 this morning, then slept only 4 hours...in that room. You know what kind of migraine paint fumes will give you when you just lay there and breathe them? ugh. HEY, DID I... Sign in to see full entry.

A BRAND NEW START.... A girl came to me in tears, having just lost

her boyfriend. She said she didn't know what to do or say. I wrote this and when she asked me how much she owed me, I asked her if she would do what this poem says. She said yes, so I just gave it to her. I'm way too soft! A BRAND NEW START The time we spent together is so precious to my heart, I... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I have written poetry of one sort or another for over 30 years. Now in the mid of my life, I have gotten secure enough in it's quality and other's have sufficiently reinforced it's desirability, I have decided to do something with it. Many of the enterings here are in contests and we'll see how they do. Also, I will have a blog of Haiku, which is Japanese poetry of strict adherence to form and style. My third blog will be for military poetry, which has recently been subjected to public scrutiny, illiciting most powerful emotions. So I offer all to you to enjoy!
