A week of poems #6: Inertia


Resin turns to amber,
Water becomes ice,
Inertia drums like thunder,
lightning never strikes.

The anchor isn’t moving
And bottled spirit’s brewing.
What drags, weighs down,
and tears do ground.

Patience sours to anger,
Silence has its price.
Just help me with this anchor,
And raise sails to sky.

But silence is the sound,
That more than often’s found.
Instead inertia’s brooding,
And we end up déja-viewing.

A week of poems #4: Ring



Infinity dances in the ring.
On it a smile is etched.
Embedded in steel and love,
The ring turns ahead.

Twirl and spin
As it blurs from within.
A step here careens then yonder
As matters at hand one does ponder.

So with love in hand
With a dance and a twirl
I see a world of love
As the ring is awhirl.

A week of poems #3: Raise thy glass


The clarity of cut glass.
The shield of my vision,
A pen in hand, a cutlass,
I wield with purpose and a mission.

I slice through paper,
With my finely sharpened sabre.
The dragon of the white valley,
Falls prey to an inspired volley.

Launch the nouns,
Send the verbs,
Ambushed thoughts...
Release the words....
RELEASE THE WORDS!!!

Slash and stab
Cut and maim,
These words are sent with deadly aim.

The valley is ours,
It says so on paper.
Victory is clear,
Now I’ll sheathe for later.

A week of poems #1: Smoke and glass


Emanation imagination,
I see half blind.
Eyes rest in laurels,
While the glass keeps smoke at bay.

I can see clearly that I cannot see.

Blurred and fogged,
Lost and found,
Magnified and enhanced.

The balance of smoke trembles,
Wherever it wants it will go.
For a second its thoughts are jumbled,
Before deciding to rise like soul.

A week of poems

To start the year off, I'll be posting a poem every day at 8:44 AM my time.

Every single day we live in poetry and stories... we swim in words that help define what we experience and during this year I will be further channeling my vision of life and humanity through what I write.

So here's to a wonderful 2014. Let us write on and on and on.

Peace, love and maki rolls,

JD
