Nope!

If I could,
I would!
But, I can't,
So, I won't.

Tap Dancing Dog
In my Kitchen
Waiting For Dinner

Panting abruptly

Scratching her ****
On the raffia carpet

Happy Poem
Jack L Martin Sep 2018
The words of joy
have left this world
once again
billowing away
on the waves
of unconsciousness

I won the lottery
Jack L Martin Sep 2018
I spent all the money on loneliness.

It is cheaper than friendship!
It is cheaper than love!
It is cheaper than trying!

It is cheaper than fixing the hurt,
over and over and over again.

Truth be told
Jack L Martin Aug 2018
I stagger
               the
                     words
to grab

                                                                            your attention.

now that......

I have your attention
                                                                     I have your attention,

what do I have to say?


what is so important
that I took
time from my life
to write this?

What do you seek?

                                         I SEEK ANSWERS!

Answers not written
by mortal man
inside a coveted scripture

Answers not revealed
in a computer simulation

Is my reality your reality?

Share some tears with me
tears are real
pain is to remind us
that we are human

Limerick #1
Jack L Martin Aug 2018
There once was a man named Stu,
who once had a terrible flu.
Even though he was sick,
he said he could kick,
the moon with the sole of his shoe!

Through the window

Winds wispier the cricket's harmonious song, yet, I sit here and think for myself.

Jack L Martin Sep 2018
I write things
Like I draw strings
Randomly scattered
Anti-matter
