Here are 3 poems, written quickly and posted to either to my facebook page, or twitter stream. It seems that since I wrote my post on iambic heptameter, I’ve been stuck writing most my poetry in a sorta semi-rhyming, faux-blank verse version of it (I don’t know the term for it:)) I also learned that [...]
Note: Below you will find an exercise and an explanation on iambic heptameter. You will see three different versions of the same poem, with changes highlighted – enjoy:) This warning was suggested by a fellow poet on facebook I want to preface this with the fact that I may have absolutely no idea what I’m [...]
Psychomanteum The old man muttered Seen it all before – Vicious vicissitudes – envision youth Searching for something worthy to weep for The old man muttered The children laughed – The crimson splash gone in a flash A throwback to now ancient past The old man muttered Knowing memory is a lie A puzzle, [...]

About Eternal Figments of Reality *Update June 16th 2010* After getting all of the poems together, I realized that sorting them and rewriting/editing them all was going to be a monumental task. So I decided to split the one book…into three :) That will give me time to work on the smaller thirds and give [...]
A Day in May On a warm day in May – sun desperate To peek from behind playful clouds, Warm, but not unpleasant, And slender fingers of conversation Or music or traffic noise from in the distance Play the melody of life in my ears – I think of you. Not just you, but the [...]
This poem is a refrain (so to speak) of “On Love“ On Love (Refrain) Oft quoted poet You can have those summer days I cherish the darkness and the secrecy Of a black blue night When you can see right through Light’s absence Eyes reflecting eyes Reflecting eyes To one who asked how Could forever [...]
