I know there are folks who don’t write poetry, but love to read it. . . and those who write it, but don’t necessarily love to read poems.
If anyone here likes to read and or write SHORT poems, let us celebrate the written word together.
Perhaps everyone can share ONE poem, and comment on other’s work.
I await your comments on this question before I even share ONE. 
Hi Red Matrix. I love reading poetry, so now all we need is some good poems. Post away if you have any.
If you EVER plan on publishing your poetry, I strongly advise against posting it on the web. ANY part of the web. Even though you might retain copyright, there’s plenty of people who will rip you off. More than once I’ve found an article of mine reposted elsewhere without authorization.
IANAL, etc, etc.
Okay Mnem. Lynn, too late. :eek: i have them all up, somewhere.
Lamentations From Another Realm, part 1
I am the son and heir
of midnight mares.
I am the wand that reigns
over horses in the moonlight.
I am the Merlin of Love;
the Romeo of invisibility.
I am the substance of ciphers;
the evidence of specters.
Unseen to those of day;
I Transcend the skys.
They have no body,
I have no soul of my own.
I can reach into the heavens
and walk the four corners of the earth.
Sentient thoughts grasp me not;
Unconscious minds accomplish what`s sought.
To live is to die-
To die is to see me
Nightmares bring life to me;
Dreams and Visions betray me.
I am nothing if not everything;
A life force that follows no course.
Fly by night and sleep by day;
I walk the streets looking for prey.
I see a man in an alley with a death grip on a 20/20.
He is gone from you, with a bit of irony.
He can now see me, clearly, with perfect 20/20.
He has also Transcended, gaining my body, bonding me to his soul.
I pity those who know me not
I envy those whos souls Ive caught.
Goodbye my love, my darling illusion.
I’ll see you tomorrow, when dusk returns.
