Chicago Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary. ~Khalil Gibran
There was an Old Man who said, 'Well! Will nobody answer this bell? I have pulled day and night, Till my hair has grown white, But nobody answers this bell!'

There Was An Old Man Who Said, 'Well!
You were the tune That played in my head For hours at a time You were the song Without a name; Not knowing, drove me crazy You were the beat Id tap with my hand While gently nodding my head You were the notes Sewn into my beating heart With the vibrant threads of eternity Then you kissed me You truly loved me Now my melody has an everlasting name -ARI

As promised, he’ll make a good piece To make your heart and mind at ease A girl who’s annoyingly cute And stubbornly, he salute He met you in Summoner’s Rift You’re so kind and nice, it’s your gift You play these lovely healing songs And you support with grace, we won You open a boy’s wounded heart He adore you right from the start He never tells cause his afraid Maybe you’ll laugh, cry and evade He never told this until now That he loves you, this is his vow Remember this, you make him smile You make him speechless with style In his dream suddenly you change He can’t reach you at all, that’s strange Maybe he did something, a scheme He realize it’s not a dream Every beginning comes an end Everyday changes, we can’t bend The other will be so happy The other will be unhappy He feels how this story ends It’s from the song they both knew “You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone”

Her
The child's wonder At the old moon Comes back nightly. She points her finger To the far silent yellow thing Shining through the branches Filtering on the leaves a golden sand, Crying with her little tongue, "See the moon!" And in her bed fading to sleep With babblings of the moon on her little mouth.

horse aligned coil/roll of wave. the bearded heat of sun unto birds, land ** poseidon’s son was a bird, out there/                 /there was a molten breach in the fissures deep. it breathed an ooze of mother blood orange and hissing. the coral lords photosynthesize cities from out of reef material. where tree the family of fish, diverse and good people. good dancers of the primordial dip. tri-tipped dip of chips. trident tugged zippers. wetsuit squishy skin released. the violent stories of men and ships. the men and lumber treading dawn with prawns and lime. island boys, as big show trapeze lovers flung, no, as trapped monsters singing jingles in jungles in june.            or july.            the theory of hopeless elements is crushing/            water: or currents unending.            all above.            all below.

Stuck in my mind, crawling over my flesh, haunting my thoughts;                            you are.

Pink confused with white flowers and flowers reversed take and spill the shaded flame darting it back into the lamp’s horn petals aslant darkened with mauve red where in whorls petal lays its glow upon petal round flamegreen throats petals radiant with transpiercing light contending above the leaves reaching up their modest green from the pot’s rim and there, wholly dark, the *** gay with rough moss.
