  Another problem with this site

  

  By dbailey, Baltimore, OH

  There is not enough room to type out long lines of a poem. When a single line is too long it is divided. This disrupts the flow of the poem and is not the way the poet wished it to be read. Often when a line is too long it will be continued with an indentation but even this is not possible here. The...

  Run Out of Road

  

  By dbailey, Baltimore, OH

  A volatile breath blows in from the West It should have been a sufficient warning But we feign ignorance We knew the whole damn time We just wandered until the road ran out All the while making joyous sounds Depicting our terrible situation We can just roll down a hill To forget everything w...

  Winter Fawn

  

  By dbailey, Baltimore, OH

  When I close my eyes I see it (An ephemeral glimpse, a spark In a dark room I flip the switch on the wall Artificial light is blinding in the night) I open my eyes, feeling a gentle breeze on my back, To see snow fluttering toward the pavement My whole is nearly frozen as I admire diamonds T...

  You, the Hero

  

  By dbailey, Baltimore, OH

  The postman is delivering our letters Our delicate packages merely thrown over the gate So harshly you shout Stop, you yell, Wait He is carrying arsenic that they don't care about Nor do you, really, you only want to be A hero That is what they will call you You the hypocrit, your actio...

  A slight problem with this website

  

  By dbailey, Baltimore, OH

  So is it just me, or is anybody else aggrivated that we have to use somebody else's photograph for our own poem? Nobody's photograph can capture the emotion to put into my work. Maybe we could be allowed to use our own photos or art? That would make me very happy....

  Untitled

  

  By dbailey, Baltimore, OH

  I see all the planes Racing toward the sun But we will see in the end Nobody has really won So strap on your boots Step into the mud We have to find a way out of this rut There's nothing to do, nowhere to go Come now, my friend, we must continue to row For if we slumber at this moment ...
