If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

85 poems·Since June 2019

Hey , it’s been a couple years in this site . Right now I’m just settling down and am going to work on getting out a better product . The stuff that is obviously trash will probably be booted. I really have no beef with anyone .... A lot of what I write is about working out a particular demon . A lot is about trying new methods based on the feedback on the poems . .

Empty

July 14, 2019

The golden old rocker squeaks.

old man gliding up and down.

His knees of eternal screech.

No more time to be the clown.

 

In decades past there was always a plan. 

No reason to write them up.

Memories never filled the cup.

Feeling helpless and void of command.

 

He creaks.

Floorboards squeak.

Why let go?

Who’s to know?

 

Empty , a creaky fridge door.

Empty , always wanting more.

Empty , a burned out light.

Emoty , was it ever right?
