Full of pomp,
circumstance,
and prayers,
It is time to turn
the ink from tears
to the poetry
it was meant to be.
Pick up the pen,
put it to the page…
and let the verse
expose the differing
emotions that hold you
as a slave.

Holidays, and the problems that they represent.
Today is thanksgiving in the US. (Happy Holidays if you celebrate…)
And that last bit is part of the issue. Everyone is expecting HAPPY. Holidays are sometimes a time of grief. Or a time of extra stress. This is true no matter which holiday it is. So I ask if you are struggling…reach out. There is always someone willing to listen. You Matter!!!
For me, this is a hard one. So I am hiding in the writing and video games…and other work to avoid the emotional damage that today will bring. I hope that each of you are having a day where you are able to give yourself the space and the grace that you need.

Is it a sin
to give gratitude
for the win?
Being able to convert
all of life's little hurts
into form and verse…
For me that is enough
to be grateful for,
that poetry exists.

Give me the pen
My brain is alight,
It is time for me
to write poetry tonight.
Perhaps I should pause
for the verse speaks
volumes and more,
but I think it solves
the internal war.

Between doctors appointments and thanksgiving…and a nasty headache…I am probably not going to manage the poetry today. I will try to catch up tomorrow. Happy thanksgiving and I appreciate your understanding.

I didn’t like the prompt today…
also I saw the typo in the last stanza after I posted it. it should say For even their own scripture tells them to behave differently.

the joy of poetry
is not shared
helplessly.
instead I believe
the joy of poetry
is the moment
when connection
is made.
yes I did oops
I realized this morning I had forgotten to post yesterday’s poem for ars poetica . I fixed it .

Forgotten verse
equates to a poet's tears,
for the pen needs
to scratch the words
in such a way to
highlight immortality.
Though I didn't think
the poetry would be
all that I would need ,
reality is always the answer
to weave the life into the abstract
of verse into my dreams .
