My poetry

On any given day you
Might be touched..
I stir my own ink in
A rusty old pan
A cocktail of ancient
Lore, mixed with the
Delusions of modernity
As I stir I tease the eternal
Verities to the surface of
This visionary stew
I fill my quill with this
Anomalous mixture
I roll out the parchment
That shall receive the
Indictments I inscribe
Upon it
I gather my thoughts
From the dungheap of fools
And from the wisdom of
Spirits held captive
And although my audience
May slumber between the
Pages of time
The clockwork of their
Dreams ever tick to
The final hour
On any given day
We shall awaken

I do relate with your words, I write from random thoughts

or a joke I heard, even from a TV commercial.thumbs up

You're versatile in your poetry, you think outside the box (not the shipping box by the way) and a very deep thinker. Thank you for the pleasure of your thoughts. Loved this Cafe.

Poet#1.. Thank you friend. I'm always trying to find more
creative ways of expression. But it's something that happens
on its own as it were.

"Versatile" is a very good and accurate word to describe Jim's writing style M.M....there are often several very clever and humor-based poems posted in succession, only to be followed by something remarkably serious and with intense content that pulls the reader in.

randomness is your middle Name
and so is gallant
and cheekiniess
and .....well the list goes on

and you have the maidens
eating from the palm of your
sweat shaking hands !!! lols

candykid.. My humorous poems is my way of saying I don't take myself to
seriously so most of them are me laughing at me. My serious poems are
born of decades of study(especially spiritual), and much self reflection. I
do appreciate immensely your contemplation of some inherant methodology
in my writings. Your kind of comment along with Poet#1 and many others
inspire me to explore ever deeper this thing called poetry.

I loved the ending... giving hope of awakening after the final hour... This final cord brought me back to life for I fell in trance while reading. The ingredients you use for cooking your verse, the manner in which you collect thoughts, carry your point, and make audience listen is truly remarkable. Thank you, dear poet, for drawing my attention to this particular poem - it was worth it! thumbs up tip hat
marikia
Oh no, Cafe, please don't let the maidens alone, we are more than happy to attend. Thanks for the tip on the dress code - I seem to get forgetful from time to time. Kindest regards, our Knight of Loving Countenance!hug bouquet
