All readers need to realize at this time, that I am new to this, and the poems I am putting on are not formatted as she wrote them. This will take me a little time to learn the tricks of this site.

We live
In
Shallows,
Longing for Depths
Of
Beauty
Knowledge
Love
Faith -
And
When we drift too near
Those deeper recesses
Mundanely thrusts us
Up again
With a jangling clock
Or
Infant's cry
Or
Dripping faucet,
And
We rise
To
Shallow again
To
Deal with banality -
Like a potato chip crumb
In
Champagne.

Written by Addie Williams
June 1983

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
