my poetic journey
it started by scribbling on scraps of paper with the stub of a yellow number two pencil words flowed from a frantic mind that had to make room for more words in the cramped space of my mortal mind It bacame easier when an old type writer was passed on to me nowadays I don't have those piles of poems strewn around the room I have copied them all and sent them all to cyber space and on two several discs to preserve them for all eternity such was my journey as an aspiring poet

my wandering muse
begrudgingly she gives a few words of inspiration the fickleness she displays is frustrating beyond measure I dare not question where she has been or why she has treated me so I am just grateful she has given me these few words

nature's call
i awaken to the warmth of my bed as I stir I hear the call of nature I turn over pulling my blanket closer I resist because at this time of day my porcelain throne is too cold to sit upon

no apology
an unanticipated visit found things left askew magazines strewn around the front room a slice of dried out pizza left on the kitchen table I'm a bit embarrased to be found in my pajamas at noon with an unshaven face but damn it you should have called before you came over

nonsense
what utter nonsense this is an idea is planted by a word or phrase when i try to capitalize on it my mind goes blank I stare at a blank screen hands poised over the keyboard I curse the empty page i sit and wait and nothing comes how frustrating is that

nooners
nooners are amazing in all that they achieve they join to hearts together as bodies they entwine the stress relief they give helps in many ways they're also called a quickie no foreplay is required as passions are in full sway no matter where they happen a nooner will make your day

paradigm
pages from an ancient text give instructions on living commandments to worship the only one predictions of dire consequences at the end of the age the rebirth of the new these things rewritten again and again shall you obey or shall you take the chance that the words are just traditional folklore

power failures
do you have a backup plan for when the power fails what will you do to keep aware of what's going on around you when outages hit here I reach for a candle and a jug of wine I snuggle close with my wife after all there is no sense for the two of us in letting a quiet time go to waste
