How does a creative writer create a path for others to follow, where after reading the verse, they branch out, onto their own path.

If one creates enough blooming branches, it will becomes Novel book, or wilt as a bare a## petrified scarecrow.

But alas this is America, there are no more sublime miracles, just dread caught between the teeth, decaying Poetry.

PreWord: Thank You for your WorldWise WordsWorth universal understanding.
 
Poetry is not about - One Single Poet, not even about - One Select Fraternal Party. Poetry is about a communal extended family that evokes open vibrant minds, a gist evolving lucid revolution, amid vivid elocution power. Wherein this poetic world, Poetry words, create moving WordsWorth mind-frames, aloft cerebral currents, bearing universal understanding.
 
Does naught each poem, add to each poet’s UniQue persona perspective that exists deep within each poet’s core UniVerse soul being. Wherein that Uni personal aura, enlightens Poetry Verse to bear evidence onto our external universe that exists outside all poets. That we need Too Bee world wise, wherein words revolve around, the depth of evocative meanings that evolve bound to WordsWorth lifelines, leaning upon terse Poetry teachings, whence its true grit evokes iron will sword point power impregnating ink with paper cut incision that furrows Poetry into fertile seeded Poetry.

 


1
In the shadows
Of my past
My fear grows
For my failures
Seek me out
At different times
To penetrate deep
Within me
In an agony
So great
That the need
Within me
Cries out
For my own
Fulfillment to succeed

2
Oh magical prayers
Seeing into my heart
With feelings so intense
That the heavens
Opened up its magic
In spells so special
I cried in its delight

Words:

Conservatives try to set conforming standards, with strict drawn out interpretations, in what Poetry is To Be – imprisoned in a perfect rose cloned cultivated temple vestibule garden. But Poetry growth has weeds, imperfections, frailties, infirmity; for it must encompass human nature insanity to never be well defined - mentally confined.


3
Mistakes are a form of flattery, inside poets, for they live, outside in the wisdom of them.

4
Eye cried so hard, eyes cried thorns that pricked dye bleeding heart out

5
In see breeze winds
Billowing into the sails
As waves race past
Fluttering amid thoughts
Free sailing of mental stains
As warm sun bleached sand
Adrift refreshing flair purity
Getting away, vacating stress
Amid peaceful isolation
Facing Sea sense tranquility
Where even if the seas
Surf get a little rough
One cuts through sounds
Gaining positive vibrations
That thy rainbow radiance within
Sets heartbeats pounding watercolors

6
Becoming

Burning doubt stills one
A distant, tattered sky
Sheets of dust lay bare
The red carnation

An iron will wasted
An acid froth waited
A wall of watches
Beckoned one

A distance beyond one
Kept calling one, calling out one
To sleep, to sleep, to sleep
~~~~~~To Sleep ~~~~~~

7
The Chapel bells echoed, bouncing off nature's walls, it was heard throughout the valley.

8
Insoles Being

Concrete turns pebbles, into dirt roads
Where smooth surfaces, become rutted
One navigates slow, around deep potholes
Where even 4WD cannot, go any further.

One gets out vehicle, to traverse footpaths
Well kept, they soon brush over, undergrowth
Smooth dirt, becomes rocky - stepping stones
Tree branches converge upon, our insoles being.

9
Dye soul, cried alone, last knight
Pegasus shed a tear, adrift the wind
Thee knight mare neighed overcast
Whilst thy wise owl hooted to no avail
Medusa awoke, cementing fate's stone face

10
Deluge

Rain, rain, rain
Rounds pitter patter
Rein, rein, rein
Sounds thunder clap
Reign, reign, reign
Bound lightning flashes

11
Core conception composition creation
Cerebral temple lobe hemisphere center
Circle insight soul enlightenment sphere

12
The verse crept
Whilst one slept
Insight night whispers
Voices dost sound lisper
Nightingale sweet lullaby
Midnight serenade amplify
Anew day

13
Love so great that thy cannot keep going
That tempest love, flame beyond measurable
Where pure passion heats two intense
Whence love will burn out amid suffocation
Too commanding more than one can offer
Commitment become imprisoned confinements

14
Ruby throat breasted words, a gist poetic sashaying velvet verse, silken delicate soft feather touches, create ring rippled arousal sighs, amist heated friction heartbeat passion baring intoxicating lucid loving terse sensations.

15
There is no poet
inside this heart
No way for any poet
to exist, hence
Barren become pebbles,
on the see shore
Sandcastle words,
jumbled be washed away
Tide dost taketh away,
ink stain remnants
Receding wry watercolors
Rembrandt contrasts fade away
Beach bleach sun dyed clean
Bare canvas ~
Poet Naught Too Bee
Washed out to see

Forever more ~
Lost at nau(gh)tical sea

16
Sometimes, Thy Poetry is so constipated, thee needs an Ex-Lax consonant vowel movement.

17
Twisted taunt tight words, amid wandering time
Makes one wonder, a gist bristling leave winds
Where upon branches wilts, dye skeletal purpose
As another blossoms to bud forth fruition retention.

18
Shades of memories arise and fall over time
Darkness envelopes outer space
One cried, no one listened
One wilted, no one noticed
One dyed, on grave stone words

19
Pot hole cavity
Spring thaws,
Summer cracks
Road weathers words out
Expansion,
Contraction

20
One good relevant quote, can put a question mark, before the public masses.

 Let’s Live Life

From death,
thy awoke birth
Dye last breathe,
did again inhale -
exhale out
Closed eyes,
opened full -
to see shored life
Mime deaf eyes
sees, hears –
tense senses
Hear yea,
the wind howl,
like swaddled babe
Nature’s love
covereth cradle,
thee life reincarnate

Dost life dawn beams,
anew pristine passage
The Novel,
dust naught TAPS RIP -
The End
Reborn beats vigor,
new fortitude
taps meaning
Fork never ever
dared taken,
awaits exploration
Hell
repeat ~
repeats,
Heaven
discover ^
discovers
Begone
would could should,
beget -
Let’s Live Life

Demon Within

Oh demon within scorn
Please dye within thee fingers
Plead dye word’s savior touch
Pride dye sayeth prayer’s verse
Poetry dye rhyme, amid astounding terse
Oh sail, sail poet - enlightened into heaven.

Oh demon within despite
Hallow be thy soul forbearance
Hollow be thy body inheritance
Fallow bee thy plow sod furrows
Follow bee thy buzzing sown sorrows
Bee off, BEE off - Poe scarecrow raven

Oh demon within disdain
Stain WordsWorth, onto sunrise sail soliloquy’s
Pain thee sword point power, onto paper cut verse
Rain Wordsmith, alight germination blossoming life
Grain sown seeds, insight mind-frames refrains
Oh doubt, be off with thee head’s dubiety.

Oh demon within contempt
Thee mirror ages, be cracked minuscule images
Success reversals, look back upon - dire failures
Quest achieved, waylaid to climb thy mountain
Never satisfied, thy guillotine, a-waits a-head
Naught Too Bee, dost knot Poets - Love me not

Oh demon, you are just, a pain in the – ASS.

23
Eye Write

Eye write, for the other eye, to see
Strange its Left, to confuse, one eye,
On the other side, of noses it all.
While Right eye is perfectly content
The other eye, twitches its discontent
Wait minute was that mirror reflection
So the right eye, really was left eye
Why it makes writers - go cross-eyed
Ever tried four way eye communication
Where the nose, brawls in the middle, of it all.

24
Dye s-own words,
shall be rhymes executioner,
or time verse's redemptioner.

25
As Poets: Our words, must follow us, after we pass on, with eternal stamina strength, and perpetual conviction.

26
American Conception

Inlaid in thy soul’s core concept being
Be the beats that wail, amid vivid hearts
Bearing the veins, of this patriot nation
Where poetry plows fertile furrows pride
Across the girth of this darn, proud nation.

To say WE master it, be so lame and vain
For every resident, be born insight birthrights
That WE Americans, inherit pure Independence
That together WE form these United States bond
That when combined, we become invincible.

Over time, forces within-outside intimidation
Creates the hate, needed to destroy Divine Trust
Where Truth, becomes balanced scales of Justice
To tip it biased, with misinformation destruction
Pitting neighbor, against neighbor, against friends.

How easy it becomes to Hate, in elevating bigotry
Liberal vs Conservative vs Independent insanity
By the time, WE stop, WE master, ONE MAN -
Mountain, who rabid - becomes human Messiah
Deconstructing Constitution that started the dream,
Inlaid in thy country’s core concept being.

27
Barren words, dost fly away
Dye hollow wind, wails echoes
Chased within dead end canyons
Tempest in closed mind coagulates
Acid froth seething, winter frost forks
Pin pricks sow, dried out blood veins
WE wither and dye thee words vanity.

28
Mildew whither tears, molded a gist spores
Dost naught dye wind, whisper a lone eye lullaby
Desolate see shore, cracks open, desolated holes
What be fertile, hollowed out sunken brittle eyes

29
Our Miracle UniVerse

They say, if you, truly believe within
Things come “To Be”, amid dream reality
But the knots on wood - bark hollow neigh
Knock, knock; negativity be built on positive
Frustration failures that need hallow patchwork
Reassurance compounded daily in rut routines
Minute bye minute dogma, sigh a lone Wake.

Hammer. Oh hammer dye nail, into torn tear holes
Find dye empty soul, whose insoles thread sorrows
Oh feet of mime, thy solemn silence quakes steps alone
Hibernation isolation fetal position, steep brittle beats
Break apart skrill screams that do not come to bare wails
Dost birthright loses its inheritance - Too Bee American.

There is no hope, no function, living life be no purpose
Yet thee pyre spark, will not be Phoenix extinguished
Go away lamb of God, thy bee all through fighting battles
Leave thee alone, to bask in misery, quicksand fear abounds
Attuned to never get up dread, just lay scorn self defeated
Go away lamb of God, The Miracle in America – bee lost.

Insight anew sunrise, thy soul dost awakes - to again conceive
Conception sword points, being word’s paper cuts - will it prevail
Whench thee WordsWorth incisions, Will ploy - fertile ply furrows
Whilst seeded, be dew attuned, applying thy branches onto Poet Tree
Germination mind-frames sprout miracles - in that American Dream
That this nation was founded upon, in fighting for these United States.

Constitutional Amendment Addendum:
Thank God, for giving US these words, saying “In God WE Trust - The Truth.”
That NO MAN, NO PARTY, NO ONE RELIGION, NO ONE Will Master US:
Where Despots use Hate, to divide, conquer US into submission: So Help US God
Find that Love that will again unite - neighbor with neighbor with friends in Harmony
For without This Divine Love Melody, WE cease to be a Republic, with Democracy.

American Conception

Inlaid in thy soul’s core concept being
Be the beats that wail, amid vivid hearts
Bearing the veins, of this patriot nation
Where poetry plows fertile furrows pride
Across the girth of this darn, proud nation.

For every resident, be born insight birthrights

By the time, WE stop, WE master, ONE MAN -

Deconstructing Constitution that started the dream,

Sentinel Knights

Do not go
thundering into that stormy night
Knight flashing armor, sashaying alight, iron mesh
Static electrifying words, strike down bolts heaven
Thor hammering earth, amiss reverberating echoes.

Guardian Knight sword
sharp pen-point, bee word wrought
Incisions paper cut slashes, dew ply thy fertile furrow trenches
Pyre writing lightning rod compost, thunder tempestuous root
C
ompositions; The Circle The Center The Compass The Spokes

Poets go into Circle beats, upon dye Evolution of Poetic elocution
Poets go into
Center heart, bear thy Revolution of Literary thunder
Poets go into
Compass souls, insole steps creating alliterated vibration
Poets go into Spokes senses, whence sentences, exists as Sentinel Knights.

Note: You have to think adrift lightning formations, where words walk the thunder

 

32
One cried, no one listened
One wilted, no one noticed
One dyed, grave stone words

33

Fathom Twain Paper Cut

The down slopes below, thy seeded fertile valleys
The up-slopes inclined, dye barren rocky mountains
Between mellow meadow, thee complacent plateau
Hear yea tranquility abounds, swaying peace – current.

Enticed downhill, one found, stirred up mad hornet nest
Lure upward, razor cut stepping stones, sliced (a)part dreams
Left eye see shore beach, verses Right eye sea insight sky
Wild flowers wondering, dost placate song birds wandering.

Fork you stand still, meditating memorized mate memories
Would knocks, should naught, could not commit fate’s mind
Dost wrought words needs To Be sharpened sword grate points
Left eye fraught right eye, fathom’s twain paper cut spate depth.

34
Life used to be a bitch, now it is this Coup.

To be put in political chicken coup, does crimp one's creative independent style.

I post poet dreams, so people can laugh at them, until after the fact, they cry saying, “They needed to do something, way back then.”

Eye to eye; would, could, should be, an American poet, but One Man (System), does trump (small t), thy poetic style.

Attuned start of imaginary lyrics:
Can you feel the ground shaking, that is our country,
The music that unites US (this nation) together as Americans
(for) We are The Circle The Center The Compus The Spokes:
That evokes such patriotism, aloftt revolving proud notes,
amist evolving pride, playing magical musical chords
drifting God Bless America, across this nation.

You really have outdone yourself this time. But I find so many of the smaller pieces to be so hard on yourself, your mistakes and your self-imposed misery.

I'm glad in the last two segments that you finally came out of this funk and gave us some real wisdom to examine and understand that you have a strong belief in American values that do not want them to be subjugated to anything other than, "We the people."
