Most of this poetry was written before the age of eighteen and bears the unmistakable stench of adolescence. I thought it might be fun to post anyway. Some of these poems are just unfinished fragments.

Poets I admire include Walt Whitman, Stephen Crane, Ezra Pound, Jim Morrison, Emily Dickinson Carl Sandburg, W.H. Auden, E.A. Robinson and e. e. cummings


Anti War

100 toy soldier,

their cast from one mold

They all say "Yes Sir",

and do what they are told.

They won the wars, but ...

Where went their soul.


Insanity

he killed in passion

she talks to walls

It has two psyche, two id

LOCK THEM UP

PUT THEM AWAY

Insanity


Night Mare

a knight of dreams;

    beckons me to sleep,

whinnies first; and then

    it screams! -

an equine scream


I wandered in the dark

Like a corpse in an ancient stream

I asked;

and again,

I asked;


the Poetry of the deep

is but the murky realization of thought;

lost, forever in sleep.


The Wind

does the wind know

which way to blow

and

how does a storm cloud relate

to its o'er zealous mate


I live in a land of fallen falling stars

shining brightly then

dimly glimmering

now forgotten

There are no rising stars

no golden ages

no platonic planes

no dominant races

The sun has set and

darkness descends like

ebony lightning

fallen falling


The well spring of all life

is near to the gate

and close to the river


Psychedelia

mystic - misfit

moccasin people

chanting - chanting

saffron prayers

gods of dust and

dirt, then

dusk closes in and

twilight fades
