Oh yes! I love me some Kerouac. It takes a real mastery to express a solid thought, emotion, and seen in so few words.

It's like watching modern choreography. It can be s Sharp, and beautiful,...

3 Haikus

The Walk Home

Past the darkened homes
I am not afraid of ghosts
but that I am one

Temper

I should knock that smile
off your rusty yellow vent

Foolish forum-dweller! I absorb your literary knowledge, and increase my own power!! BWAHAHAHA!

This is very different from the rest of your work that I've read!

Usually your language is so subtle and beautiful, that leaves feeling as though I'm in the verge of an epiphany; I enjoy it, but I...

Almost! I've been trying to get rid of the word "cranium" ... It's one of the things where... I dunno. It technically fits the syllable count and the Rhythm, but it still reads just... Well awful....

Street Corner Poetry

We're done with being vague and literal

Watch me now, I can write this like a pro
My closet is full of postmodern wigs
And I have been working hard on my form
Bent over keyboard, stand at...

Wow. Actual, literal toilet humor. I suppose it was only a matter of time.

A layer of complexity and depth is added to this poem as the commenters affirm it.

It probably has less to do with your writing, D13, and more to do with my reading. I'm notoriously bad at understanding metaphor.

I don't know if it's something I can learn, but I figure this is...

A truly great poet can expand the definition of poetry for everyone. There's no such thing as a poet great enough that he can narrow it. Poetry can be brief, and it can be literal.

The sense of crushing loneliness and lack of purpose is palpable. The true horror of it is that somewhere, there's a mushroom and garlic alfredo pizza that will die without having ever met its...

Daes: You hate the word "look"? Hate wasn't what I was going for, but I suppose that it's a win if I can evoke any strong emotion. Personally, I reserve my hate for individually wrapped Twinkies,...

I get the double meaning, here.

I appreciate both the sentiment and the structure.

I also enjoy the breakdown at the end. The first two lines read almost like a bullet point breakdown. It's...

The Girl with Purple Hair

Today

A Girl with Purple Hair
Crossed the street
And demanded to know why

I looked so sad.

Her hair

You and Nick have certainly been knocking it right out of the park, lately, haven't you? I read the tagline for the post, and assumed it was tongue-in-cheek. A pleasant surprise, then, to see an...

Wow! Very clever and cute. It begs to be Illustrated; it almost has a children's-book feel to it, doesn't it?

The rhythm starts to break down after the 20th line or so. If you start getting bogged...

I can't imagine what more can be said about this one after the outpouring, but it sure as hell deserves it.

Any one stanza of this would have been a brilliant poem.

Seaside Service

She wouldn’t return to the church where they’d wed
How practised the lines, how empty the plot
That day found us out at the ocean instead
She couldn’t abide being where he was not

Earthbound Soul

I swear I saw her the other day
At one of the places I knew she’d haunt
Shining and weightless, there and gone
I spoke, but she didn’t seem to hear


I couldn’t touch her, anyway
Or hold my...

Pretend It's Something Harder

It's just you and me tonight
Belly up and poor a double
Trussed up like a vodka tonic
Wishing still won't make it true

Shot of water, help a brother
Gonna keep my word tonight

Tonight the stars shall be a witness
Family in a sky of pews
The smiling moon officiates
This holiness tween me and you.
