Hope springs eternal!
So, we are here today, where were we yesterday? Before we were born where were we? Cultivated in our mothers tummy!,,, So, where were we before the "act" we cant remember thats a fact, and where will we be when we cant see, back to the start? Hear th

The Other Side
“Strange, is it not? that of the myriads who Before us pass'd the door of Darkness through, Not one returns to tell us of the Road, Which to discover we must travel too.” (Omar Khayyam – The Rubaiyat, verse 46) Omar Khayyam was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet. He was born on May 18, 1048 and died on December 4, 1131. The verse of his poem quoted was written more than nine centuries ago. The message of his poem still holds today. My poem, “The Other Side”, is in line with the quoted verse from Khayyam's poem and is not meant to disparage the religious beliefs of anyone.
A question of difference!
What's the difference, between life and existence? If I shoot myself in the head, do I spend the rest of my life dead? Is that impossible? An illusion? or a Cotard delusion? Do we exist because we are alive?, or are we alive just because we exist?
Burnout
A parody of Wipeout by the Fat Boys who did a parody of Wipeout by the Beach Boys.
Have you heard...?
Love can die for different reasons. Two reasons are the physical loss of a loved one and the emotional loss of a 'once-loved' one. Both can be traumatic.

Into My East
A poem randomly inspired by "Into the West" from Return of the King (Lord of the Rings) sung originally by Annie Lennox but prefer this other rendition as the two female singers sung it with a more haunting Celtic tone ... https://youtu.be/h_-AHeGO-bE
I woke!
I woke today, just like yesterday, but with winters rain against my window pane, on this summers day, was wrong!, , no sunlight shadow crossed my bedroom there, no birdsong noone to care, and the light would dim, lie down and die, forsaken who? you o
See!
What do you see through your eyes? Is it differnt to mine?, Is the world conspiring or just fine? Do you believe the world is round?, alien invasion? what have you found? so, we think we are right, always, day or night, you say that, I say this, then
Just a thought-
So where did you find Jesus? Hiding in a tree? away from you and me? Until you tracked him down, and then,,, what? The rain stopped?, the sun came out?, you won the lottery?,your car turned into a new mercedes? your bank account found new zeros?,,,
Vlad To The Bone
Parody of George Thorogoood's Bad To The Bone. I saw protesters last weekend supporting Ukraine, and I stand with them.
Together ... Often Stronger ...
Ever so often, we may find ourselves cringing and bracing ... But no need to suffer too long... No need to go through it alone, for together we can indeed be more strong ... Maybe if you look into mine, inspire you it might ,
WOMAN
dedicated to women, particularly those who are facing gender inequality in the workplace and society in general
The Trial...
It seems senryu is taking over here temporarily. I thought I'd add a lighthearted attempt.
Against the Odds...Haiku.

Traveling dreams
Joining the crowd, trying Senryu
Forever Love
Experimenting a little more with Haiku (nature) versus Senryu (feelings) .....5-7-5 format. Using a very structured format when writing poetry often helps to create such creativity and emphasis on words denoting feelings......amazing how descriptive language becomes....like music almost following conventions.

The days of now!
So, the ruling few have been bitten in the a** by one of their own, what will they do now? Oh they cant believe nor comprehend, how this will go or how it will end, Putin screwed them, now hes not their friend, time to regroup, hes not in their loop.
