Haiku:

The Rescue Cat

I once had a home.
Now I have food and shelter
But no one to love.

Hi TM I used to write poetry but haven't for some time. I look forward to seeing some of your work if you would care to share it with us

Re: Poets?

Hi annie..I think most music was born from the blues" too.

I have a friend that writes Haiku Eileen, never tried it but I like it.

hey Jemflux I have a spooky kind of story, but you`d have to re-write it to make it worth anything, you just say the word and i`ll give it to you...lol

Hi mags..thanks for getting in here. i`ll stick something on here, hope I don`t bore you all.

Re: Poets?

I`ll bet we all have lost someone at sometime, I`m really not much of a writer, but it is a passion for me. here goes! lol
losing someone after 36 yrs, its hard to find air" its hard to rise"

Recluse

I met someone with no hearing..
She placed Her hand upon My guitar,
a hand upon my throat.

She smiled at the silly songs,
and as I went on, steadied Her touch,
and the music played on.

Though sorrow floats between hand and Souls
there is no mourning.
She understood, as it came to and end...
tomorrow`s ash...

The scent only wanders in my mind
not the halls and rooms where once prevalent...She is not there.
but the music, the music rises.
I felt the cool eagerness, and rhythm of Her touch
hopelessly listening as She.. and would redeem nothing more.

I lay flat and still upon the ground,
in that time that was not measured or counted
I misplaced the language, not hearing another man`s words.
The hungry light stings paled eyes,
and the music..the music plays on.

Re: Poets?

The ladies love poetry Tinman so you're alright there, you'll never be short of admirers writing like that. I could never be a critic one way or the other but I remember what Brendan Behan the Irish playwright said. "Critics are like eunochs, they see it being done, they know how it's done, but they can't do it." I think that has helped a lot of writers to keep at it.

Re: Poets?

I never heard that quote, jemflux, love it! It sounds like something Oscar Wilde would have said .... but then they both are Irish, and the Irish do have a way with words.......

Re: Poets?

I was raised on poetry that scanned and rhymed so while I can appreciate free verse real poetry to me really needs meter and rhyme. I do make an exception for haiku as it's not a native verse form....

Re: Poets?

The Poems thread was very good,
People responded as they should.
Now we wait to see what's new,
Will the next post be from you?
