Hey You - Poetry?

Poetry - I hated you at school
Poetry - only sissies like you
So how come
you have entwined me
with your
far reaching
tentacles?

Poetry - you are my mistress
Poetry - you can be a real bitch
Poetry - you'd better
watch yourself
or I will
tell all
of your
secrets

The Poetics of Change

As in life
So in poetry
Change creeps
In
Or jumps out of
Hiding and yells
Surprise

Whether our
Changes be
lingering
Or mayfly life
Short

Stanza by stanza
Line by line
Word by word
Poetry
Reshapes and defines
Makes meaning of
The changes
Behind us
Weaving them
Into a wrought
beauty.

Saturday and its Cold Outside

Its Saturday
and its cold outside
baby

I need some warmth
and a little
bit of
loving

Its Saturday
and I should be
staunch
holding you

What is Poetry?

Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Thats true but not all good poetry is happy...

Books I gotta Have them

Book book book
Beside my bed
Book book book
Beside my chair
And by the window
On the floor
In old boxes
On the chair

Don't desert me
I will read thee
As you
Grow in number
More and more

I and You are We

Between I and You
A Powerful Team
Is made

The Royal We
My friend
Is Us

And if you
Want to stretch
A point
For that is what
I and you
And we may do

Then the awesome
Famous
Infamous
They
Is us as well
In other eyes

The Thaw

Full of complaints
thats me
Moan when the snow is here
Moan when it thaws

But like the cycle
of life
the snow comnes
the snow goes
and we
remain

The Gas Fire

Snow everywhere
Beautiful
but deathly cold

Inside the gas fire fails
For the second
time this
Winter

Gone the comforting
blanket of warmth
emanating
from
the fireplace

Whip out
the vacuum cleaner
Do a quick dismantal and clean
of the soot encrusted
pseudo coals
and Shazam
It works

And I am warm again
