Category: New Poems

Poems written recently, generally posted the day of completion. Recently, my poems are more serious and philosophical, and *gasp* don’t always rhyme.

Indifference [New] (6 line poem)

Sprung up overnight
The scattered monoliths
Turn passionless faces to the dying sun

They bear their silent burden
And blindly endure
Their relentless march toward ruin

Shall We Play? [New] (4 line poem)

Stanley is our one-year-old male cat who is gaining competence at killing birds.


Stanley eyes his prey in the scrubby grass
Waiting patiently/eagerly for a fatal moment of distraction
It comes, and so does he
Shall we play?

Poetry [New] (3 line poem)

Poetry is like writing
With very short sentences
And frequent line breaks
