The Big Man and the Antlered Boy

The purple flowers seem to tellA secret not yet known.A nervous doctor tries to quellThe fears to which we’re prone.A teenage girl sets out to findA kindred of her own.The antlered boy, he does not mindThe big man’s heedless tone.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Orbital’s Snivilization (1994).

It’s Really Not My Day

And now, it seems my car won’t start.It’s really not my day.It makes me want to sit apart,And simply fade away.But really, if this is the worstI face, I must conveyMy gratitude, for I am versedIn what could come my way.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Psybient Greatest Anthems All Time […]

I’m Out of Energy

It seems I’m out of energy.I try to save to some degree,But then I spend chaotically.I need a good recharge. I’ve never been one to be wiseWith energy, you might surmise;Expended through the lows and highsAlike, a constant sparge. I feel as though I need to strutMy stuff if I’m to make the cut.But this, […]

An Opportunity to Pray

Another ending to another day.Another promise and another way.A way to summon happinessAnd faith into our lives.A day for hope when we profess,And love forever thrives.Another opportunity to pray.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Hammock’s Everything and Nothing (2016).

Now, About that Finale…

I just need to get a few opinions out of my head and onto the digital page, in regards to the final episode of Loki that aired in the middle of last week.  There may actually be spoilers below, so if you haven’t finished the latest Marvel Universe series on Disney+, either do so before […]

What?

What the heck is this?Is this even a poem?Haiku for the win.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Yes’s Talk (1994).

How?

The universe and its perplexing waysMay seem to many anxious folks to beA convoluted, endless mysteryOf random dead ends in a random maze.From time to time, however, we may findA piece of evidence of something more,A hint of logic, if to underscoreThe presence of a secret mastermind.How does the sun rise, and the planet spin?How […]

What Now?

This one is inspired by the final episode of Loki, which I just finished watching.  No spoilers, but…  I have to say, I am surprisingly disappointed.  Maybe I’m missing something, but after five exceptional episodes, I found the finale to be convoluted, anticlimactic and filled with out-of-character performances and unexplained twists…  I don’t know.  But […]

To Be Perfectly Honest…

…I wasn’t really planning on doing a set of themed poems like these.  The first two happened by accident.  This one is intentional.  😊                                                                               |           |                                                                              Where? She opened up her chestnut eyesAnd looked around.  To her surpriseShe could not see the starry skiesThat earlier were there.She brushed aside an errant strandOf […]

Why?

Why is it that, despite our best attemptAt cheerfulness, it seems we are exemptFrom all the grins and smiles thatPresume to warm the heart?Assurances that all fall flatAnd end before they start…No wonder we are gripped with such contempt.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to the soundtrack to Final Fantasy XII:  The […]
