قرين
قريني يدّعي الحبَّ
يؤلّفُ في الهوى كُتبَ
أعاتبهُ على الكَذِبِ
فيضحكُ لي لينتحبَ
نِفاقٌ ثمّ إنفاقٌ
ولا أجدُ له سببَ
خليعُ الحانِ والراحِ
أراهُ استعذبَ الطرَبَ
ويلقي الشعرَ كالبِذرِ
عمىً استنبتَ الحطبَ
ولا أدري له اسْما
لذا سمّيتُهُ قلبا... [read more] |
redbrick posted a new Poem titled to all poets 1 hour ago
Here is both a howl and a hymn;
a clever lamentation soaked
in satire and righteous indignation.
It treads the comic edge of poetic injustice,
railing against the vultures in wolf’s garb
who see art not as soul-work,
but as... [read more] |

When you hang around the mountains long enough
you find them…In-groups of three or more….
Sitting around tables in restaurants or coffee shops
standing together outside of gas stations and stores.
They’re known as the ‘old timers... [read more] |

WHY DID KEROUAC
WRITE IN MOROCCO
IN A BAR
SEEMS SO FAR
AWAY YOU KNOW
TO HAVE TO GO
TO WRITE HIS STUFF
THAT WASN'T FLUFF
WHY DID JACK
WRITE LIKE THAT
JUST HAD TO GO
TO MOROCCO
TO CHECK OUT THE SPACE
AND PICK UP THE PACE
OF THOSE MAGIC VIBES

One to the East
and One to the West
Sometimes when you stand very still, happiness will find you...
I try to find the fairies in the garden,
But they fly, when I try.
I try to stand very, very still,
In the garden,
But they hide.
With rusted... [read more] |

To attend a celebration
My pal Sal, his mortgage he's burning
A day he's long been yearning
Took him 30 years, Sal, take a vacation!

Your advice... [read more] |

There once was a man named Lou
Who forgot how to buckle his shoe
Met a gal one night at a dance
Said 'I'm not looking for a romance
Can you help me unbuckle my pants? Thank you!'
Lou was shrewd like a wascally wabbit
Would visit a... [read more] |

So the hard shell that most of the world sees in me is often just a front.
Throughout several years I have mastered suppressing true emotions, because that is what most of the world wants.
Seemingly no one wants to see... [read more] |

You bent the truth
Until I questioned my own mind.
You buried me in darkness
But you couldn’t kill the light.
Every conversation was a courtroom in your head,
Twisting every word until I doubted what I said.
You played the victim while you... [read more] |

هُنَا فِي الحَدِيقَةِ فِيءُ الشَّجَرْ
