[bodytext] => Inspired to write. I will write a song. Maybe a tragedy. These always sell millions. I could be famous! And maybe when I win my first grammy, I'll slip on the floor and crack my skull. I'd laugh at the memory. More likely, no one will ever read these words, except blind widows who imagine their husband's face on these pages. I'll never be famous. I don't even want to. I'm not even a musician. Who said you could write in this book? You're full of republican elephant fat, it's seeping through your pours. You stink. Who do you think you are? I'm only a silent voice who tries to write down the bones of forgotten dreamers. Dreameers who swept the floors of entire mountains, all without a complaint. Dreamers who wept when the radiation in their bones, crept through the cracks in their feet, and their skin, sulked in disgust. There is not much left to write anymore. My memory is failing. What did I learn in my poetry class? I must be senile. I've never taken a poetry class. I am a self taught monk, who looks at his watch every 30 seconds, waiting to see where the next minute hand will strike. Wondering if time will fix the uncertain problems of life and death, waiting to scream ..................... only 30 seconds have passed. I am a self taught monk who learns through failed attempts to capture the meaning of these poems. Ha! Meaning? The only explanation is a lie. The true explanation lies in the bottom of your chest, and resonates with a..................thump thump.......................thump thump. The next wave curdles up through your throat, and a sound echos a thounderous squeak, speaking in toungues and leaving the ears with confused notions of truth. It all will fall and shatter, when you tighten the grip of your sanities desires as it slips through the cracks, leaving your palms open and sweaty [comments] => 6 [counter] => 1633 [topic] => 43 [informant] => zenmind [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
