the preermise to attain

through a Hollywood dream

dig deeper then ever before

another door bell rings

monitor the swing

little kids got the system

through a fragrance to appease

happy is a shallow notive prerssed in & out

blame, bitch & pout

the wires to focus

searching again

my faithful friend to depend

yesterdays swing

fall to the swing,

fragrance to the surface of the wind

bask in the vast expanse between power & love

The poetry is just an excuse to hide the forceful advertising and the pay to post policies integrated and pushed by the owner of the site. In more than one occasion I had to stop payments from my credit card directed from AP and the only justification from the owner was "you can cancel anytime".

It's a shame how this travesty still goes on. If you are serious about poetry look further

Attention poets and aspiring writers! Search all you want, but you'll never find anything like this interactive literary community. Trust me. I've tried!

Being a member and staff greeter for over 7 years on this remarkably fortified poetry website, I have witnessed first hand the many options for all writers geared for beginners as well as successfully published writers at all levels.

Kevin Watts, the brilliant site manager, started this as a project in 1999 with the flair

for not only giving poets and story writers what they want, but supplying every tool to help them cultivate and strengthen their individual gifts and goals.

There are classes, contests, fun activities, rewarding commentaries and publishing opportunities that will encourage everyone to contribute. Small groups of common interest and all levels of critiquing are available in every category of writing. Showcasing one's work is only a CLICK away by using an accumulative bank of  'points'  accrued by  commenting on others and winning contests. These points are used as tokens for this and many other site privileges.  Moderators are available as well as an internationally-staffed Help Desk to answer questions.

My reward? Besides having the pleasure of doing what I love the most, I've made many friends and linked up with prolific writers that led me to being published more than 5 times from this website alone.  I'm inlcuded in at least 4 poetry publications internationally.

If I tell you too much, you'll just be overwhelmed and won't see the pananorama of all its bells and whistles.

A must for anyone who wants a literary dreamscape at their fingertips!

outside we must diss us to form a new brand of circus rejoice in us

memories fade in me the coast is clear from sleeve to sleeve,

the perfect melody leave come along with me you see

charts of  puree in the dull to sleep

love is formation spread across its bacon

love s the finest from him to dine with us]

bring on the noise we care bout the cause

freshest of late..,

longing lest it belonging

shaped clear behold the minutes to go

minutes to gain left formidable to see

left through the sonic flames

straight in the hurry of ever closer structure,]

my quest is to be a little bit older

very good in its helm partner

love is king

still smart as the wood

linger on...

a plate of fries left dangling on a woden sofa

building bridges to be no more

you waited for me in a harvest of exploits

the Boogy Man came to whistle in my ear

to let go of any inhibition

back in my stocking drawer

left hope to nothing more

move to soon'

onto the beating door

my mind was playing tricks on me

sought for further relief

the impulse toward addiction

so I sought for freedom

mercy felt on me

to egnite my flame of dire stockings

to willow in the ardent branch

promote the cause of freedom

the stained archer to yesterdays swell

some seek each day as a guest in hell

shows block the in between

Over The Woods

your poem throws me right into a nostalgia for it. The title of the poem alone captivates the reader and by the time one reaches the end of your beautiful verse, one feels the prairie in one's pocket. Simple down-to-earth images of "turkey", "rusty plumes" and "that other earth" in the poet's mind are not only powerful, but add a sense of humor, including that of carrying the earth in your pocket, which is part of your mindset. In fact, the poem does not only seed the earth inside the poet's mind, but, indeed, in the minds of his readership. Which is what a great poem does. The poet's exceptional craftsman is attributable to the subtlety, simplicity and imagery which make the verse flow and speak for itself :

today I exist through a heros twist paid fully to resist

inside of me grips the portion of sullen apathy...

Cuba is getting a bit colder after Castro took over

the in tuned harmony to its hidden beast reality

shelter through the leaves

taking over as you please

each haunted day we beg to borrow the need to pray...

fashionable Michelle Obama

silent through a fixture plain from deep enough to take over inside

conjunction junction what's your function

bargain basement blues

the set of Huey Lewis & The News,

a bunch of sprinkled dust scattered through the wind

late night bid in cell block 9 in prison,

those were the days getting caught in a purple haze

spot a high five to humbly keep your faith alive,

shadows break way from the frenzy within

I told you not to go

Then you went

When will you come back

When you told me 

You won't return

Beautiful Jesus Christ

My hands raised high

All for you as

My heart speaks in

The tongue of your

Wonders

I give myself to

You everday

Baptize me in your

Blood

As the calm waters

Of the heavens 

Reach out and ran

Down on me your

Love
