Every Christmas I set out to write a poem to my nephew, Robert Francis McVerry, JR. Each year I say I am gonna write about all the cool things Baby Bobby did with his cousins that year. Tell the fiction we all know would be true. Every year I can not. Instead I return to the ghost Dicken's forgot. The "Ghost of Christmas Never Was." A specter seeing the unse
#smallpoems Does one whisper histories To the Ghost of Christmas Never Was? Dribbling deeply into Holiday mysteries Sibling memories seeping past Time sleeping In The Next Place Glances stolen In your cousin's face hands out stretched To a present not Far fetched With our Souls to Catch your dreams

#smallpoems Vicar with sinister whiskers is picker of pictures spinster of scriptures quicker meaning sifter than cheap liquor Call em Fixer Shape shifter situated inverter poetic grifter prophetic lifter a sifter of aesthetic blisters in verse
My soul pours out small talk in broken versus of poetry shattering niceties introductions into my true through hyperbolic lies and meaning lying within a spell of spilled elixir truth capturing falsehood #smallpoems
@Karis_M_Jones Searching, thinking while listening broken thoughts screaming our links of metaphor ripping at targets a source of subjective consciousness just talking to yourself? a personal poem unfolding in the mind #smallpoems #lra19

#smallpoems leaping into expectation upon thread bare histories his consistencies unwound chasing hopes eternal mysteries unbound racing fates scissors through blizzards of hope all poetry meant to be set free so he sails seas of misery
#smallpoems dragon drawn chariots chasing firefish in rivers of knowledge drawn from endless wells of ignorance. sewn together, stiched in time by an arrow piercing the eye of wayward gods wreathed, twisted in folds will the flesh of the hunt serve the sullied at a feast of the righteous? Can those who hear the Way on the river beating upon our shore a hundr
#smallpoems let loose moorings of a crescent moon while our heavenly wolf howls Through words spilled, we seek, yet never find, a path of souls Inanna, Venus, Ishtar, Aphrodite, bits loosely joined in stories that never begin in poems with no end

#smallpoems Carried on a whisper's breeze the moon fleas and dreams dim within our emptied pen sky once painted pounded by mortar and pestel of past poetry now hidden beneath canopies tossed in flames unburnt as time never touched tattered souls
