Single Silent Drive Night Poem

I wrote this pretty much in the dark and it was hard because I could not see very well. Here it is, judge for yourselves :

The Lonely Mess Of Ness
Nes Est Ested In
Your Od Od Ody-B
Burning In Tens Of
Tensities Cities In-Im
Pure Not It It Spit Ities
Profound Iniquits Of
It Fit Not Ities
Profound It Tities
Tats Spats Smats
Smirks Quirks Jerks
Saints New/ Old Paints
Of Lone Alone Lost
Nits Want Mitts ?
Quick Fix Of Feelings
Reelings In/ Outs Of True
Gasping Loneliness Stretch Up
Etches Of Feeling Lost Lone
Lone Ranger / Stranger
Striving Arriving No Yes Not !?
Give Got You All Now One Soon
As Can Plan Flan Fly Flake Not Break !

Darkness Everywhere ...

Four Tuesday May 13th,2008 Morning Poems

Each morning I write four or more poems to start the day and on Tuesdays when I write the Cleveland Park Wine & Spirits store email I include one of the four in my closing. I'm trying to include the others so that you may see the progress or change in them as I search for things that touch my life and want to write about in a much fragmented, whimsical, spur-of-the-moment way that makes the reading I hope both musical and theatrical, treacherous and smooth and confusing all at once. Here are the Four Poems for you to read and enjoy I hope :

Trans Anting Panting Plants

This is my first Poetry Blog : Here Goes Nothing !


Trans I'm Plant Ants Too
Moving Yes Dis Dissing In
As Locating Re! Re! Reaping
Bounty Of Old Plants' Growth
New To Places Closer See Easy
Easier For Eyes Ours See
Bounty Nature's Us Me They
Flount Flaun Flim Founty
Treasures Theirs Ours Borrow
While For Minutes Secs
We They Gathered Some Bits Have
To Up Down Gaze On Them
Pleasing Pleasures Plastics Not
Real Plants They Trig Rigger
Us From In Out Sides Ours
Motions To E-Mote Move Motions
Oceans Colors Shades
Those Swooping Cons Of Trasts
Those Be WOW ' Mazed Crazed
Even Some Us Dazed Dazz Azzled
Led By Color To Text That Texture
We Live Live Alive NOW EVER MOMENT
This Carry Memory Ours Cher Cher Erish
Per Haps For Not Ever But
Periods Long We Take
We Paths Make We
Wonder Wander
