Concept Art – Poorly Educated but Well Read
Subtitled: “too poor to be classically educated and dwelling on it the more that I read”
OR “my education is so porous, I could fill a red well”
Occasionally I like my subtitles better than my title and get sidetracked in interestingly irrelevant ways.
On to the discussion! Continue reading “Concept Art – Poorly Educated but Well Read”
Misplaced Missive #157 – Real Love
Told with the fondness of nostalgia,
I grew up with the same few stories,
Like prized childhood memories
Of times considered better.
Where violence was common,
And insults became funny after time.
Because when you’re that young,
Everything seems worse than it was. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #157 – Real Love”
December’s Theme – I’m Late, I’m Late, For A Very Important Date….
Aren’t these theme posts supposed to be published on the first of the month? Yes, yes they are.

Misplaced Missive #5: Lost At Sea
Patience that knows no shore,
Washes into a sea of restless waiting for
Effort to come to fruition.
Pleading for permission.
I’m begging you: release me from this prison
Of blind high dives and titanic lies.
Water, water everywhere
And not a drop to drink Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #5: Lost At Sea”

A lot of Chuck Palahnuik’s books are like that but in this instance I’m specifically referencing Rant, also the name of the following poem: Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #82. Rant”
Villanelle – Aggression – JG
Reflex
A palm full of crescent moons remains,
A sky without stars or light;
A reflex of rage leaves blood on the page. Continue reading “Villanelle – Aggression – JG”
Misplaced Missive #214: On The Hook
So lost am I in my many books…
Where questions have concrete answers;
Where not everyone’s a crook,
And you tell both the hero and the villain at a single look.
Literature has me on its hook,
‘Cause reality pales in comparison. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #214: On The Hook”
November’s Theme – Grrrrrrr Argh
All of the angries!!! Let’s leap from whimsical galumphing to hard hitting villanelles; from random and abstract to deeply personal and intimate; from fun and light and imaginary to graphic and dark and all too real. Continue reading “November’s Theme – Grrrrrrr Argh”
Cinquain Triplet – Eye of the Storm, Fair/Festival, Sailor – JG
Fitting music:
Center of the festivities; eye of this bustling storm,
Here alone there is peace, calm, and a song.
Run now around the fire and gather all together,
For the cautionary tale of a merchant peddling leather,
Who traveled far and wide, never for short, always for long gone. Continue reading “Cinquain Triplet – Eye of the Storm, Fair/Festival, Sailor – JG”
