Capitulation (Quippet No. 4)

[Nowhere in particular, end of day yet again]

In the face of the impossible:

Religious militance, misinformation overload mislabeled, conspiracy of wealth …

And a generation of children left behind (ca. 2001)

I am, frankly, tired and lost

To Dance with New Horizons

A poem inspired by the recent images of the Pluto system in the Kuiper Belt

Pluto and her moon

dance

to the music of the spheres

 

They dance to the song of

gravity

orbiting a common core

 

Words # 19

Never apologize for who you are

Or what you feel

(Neither is under your control)

Knowing: A Sonnet

Been looking at some old poems that I probably shouldn’t be, but this one caught my eye, though it’s meaning is long gone

You want to know how I know I love you?

Could I list the ways within the hour?

Only fools rush in; I know this is true

And yet it is fools with all the power

Video Reading: Let Love Conquer All

I promised video readings didn’t I? Here’s a short reading I did of the highest rated poem I’ve posted so far: “Let Love Conquer All.”

Reasons for Remembering

And reasons why I feel the need to record everything in poetry

“Don’t forget the feeling”

Perhaps some good advice

 

But “I can’t forget the feeling”

Surely would suffice

 

Never forget the feeling

Whether heated, whether ice

 

“I won’t forget the feeling”

(Though forgetting might be nice)
