bats hang empty crying for the fence stitched leather of routine gathering dust discarded in cardboard boxes undreamt globes spring nights silent No quarrel of two struck lovers driven to meet so destiny can tear them apart #smallpoems
Grey scale pastels cast darkness over our moonlit canvas An emotional swirl in hundred of colors leaving me tired, streaks of stuttering monochrome film trapped in a technocolor world #smallpoems
#smallpoems #clmooc Amazing how fast meaning shifts stating "I can't" So definite. Yet add a Why meaning flies When "Why can't I" rolls off the tongue unlimited possibilities untwist from time Power fed to the powerless All in three letters W-H-Y
Why can't I sleep why can't I cry? why can't I pee why can't I concentrate Why can't I burp, sneeze, find a job, poop? Why can't I sleep at night Maybe I shouldn't ask all these questions
I can't sleep I can't breath I can't stand the rain I can't I can't drive 55 I can't help myself I can't wait I can't stop loving you I can't get no satisfaction Why Can't I?
When you teach a biologist to write poetry you learn things mycorrhizal mishaps in firing synapses gashes in knowing dashed into verse so instead of one guy writing a poem we have four poets writing about fungi. #smallpoems #clmooc
@wentale @dogtrax @telliowkuwp @NomadWarMachine @niall_barr searchiing web for truths of this fungi network to write a poem. Intentional Other times, words, like now, just spill Those poems accidental #clmooc #poetry #smallpoems

#smallpoems People will ask me what a poem means and I will say, "What I needed it to?" And hope they walk away Yet they gawk at each allegory. A hawk hunting on gales of hidden truths like each stanza a tattoo on my soul and they rudely ask, "Wha'ts that mean?"
#smallpoems This Good Friday I seek shelter behind a rock it didn't block no cave or nothing Just the wind Micha trespasses through quartz and limestone of a foot rest Journal splayed, like thoughts over knees Then finally as the third stanza rises the sun comes out again
#smallpoems When you find you way to Sheepskin Hollow After the bridge; the one spanning a crik pointing first to the lake and down to our Tidal River You will see a wooden stake. Chevron carved deep and painted blue. Stay right After walking awhile a crest of one hill really You will come across if you look closely a blue marker absconded a painted wooden b
broken tooths scraping against torn elbows bent at junctures of self only point to protuberance of sustenance who steal mana from the willing #smallpoems
Pestilent ghosts pick at portraits dangling in precarious plaster. Unpainted pasts, hang on bent nails in our walls pealing as time forgets stories all remember. Logic dismembered dripping in dark sunshine only hidden truths unleash #smallpoems
Just realized something about my subdomains, I now have my quickthoughts, my longthoughts, and jgregorymcverry gets stuck somewhere in the middle. Might make this a poem, maybe it already is. #smallpoems
As second hand slips past six sounds of mistral whisks slow and minstrels of morning beckon to a new clock a New Day 22, maybe like 21 24, 7, or 51 but birds do sing again, #smallpoems
Day 22 wind howls outside darkened windows morning birds silenced songs not slipping into existence on tongues of time instead stilled, trapped tones and notes who seek escape from our quiet fate does a bird sing alone? #smallpoems
