stars, does anyone look up anymore,
or is there enough action in the palm of your
hand, cars, do they look out for pedestrians
anymore, or is the main attraction a distraction,
what would happen if you reach up,
that could to over-fill your need cup
and you touched the sky
you touched the sky
the sky touched you
would your knees buckle too?

you wear a hat, add an e, now you hate,
you tear down, add an r, now you drown in self pity,
you get your nose out of joint, add an i now you just make
noise, add in your passive aggressive *****, silent reading
becomes noisy.

Places unnamed, faces blur
coffee so thick, dressed floor swims
mermaid knows what needs
to be met,
not conversation

Quiet can give
couched restful head thoughts,
back flat all else elevated
poking sky holes ball point pen size

Eyes already closed
body drapes bed linen
pillows, with sides of cold
now plate my heavy head

need to get sated, not sedated

Where ever I am sate,
Ear bones move to vibrate,
to the secret code of songs
pen touches paper,
                                                  spill ink in
that moment,
calm
is balm,
fear becomes vapour.

A poem is born.
Challenge today was today take normal prose type information I chose, my favourite places to write, and by dropping some words  (the , at, that) anything that is not CONTENT,you might be able to go to prose to poetry.... So my favourites;
Coffee shops, couches, bedroom naps, music, in combination writes my poetry sanctuary  written while listen to Good For Grapes, one of BC's finest groups, I would call them young, but they have been at it for about sure 8 - 10 years...

Boulevard paved, cloud runnin' chase, to clear thoughts
Mindfulness, craved pounding in, raining pain sought
Free me! bound points pressing in, thorns? BE GONE! bought
padded Dr. Scholes soles.                 

Trail's bridge truss, wooden way leads to peace climbing
Lean  in shoulder first, dig, dig, pistons legs pump hard
Muscles in tighter bundles demand  enrichment
Slopes up, roll down, pleasure
Don't think it is right, but it is a write

A wolf prowls amongst the ruins of concrete and glass
An appetite for the elderly, for the easy, for the edible,
Causes his stomach to growl for the emptiness,
of the stomach,
of the wilds overtaken by clumsy men and women,
of the structure, where people matter not,
relentless, needing not to be graceful
but there is poise, and
always something fiercely
poetic in the ****.

Even the weakest
is reason,
for a seasoned
hunter
to howl
after words.

aloof alphas attack!
banal betas boom, before backing
cautiously, creeping

down, defensible dark
estuaries, estranged escapes
from fierce fiery-eyed

giant gators gathered,
hard hearted hedged
in impossible illumination, irate

jowly jeering jaded jackals
****,… ****,… ****, …
let loose low laughs

making much mirth mercilessly
now none need nourishment
oblivious obvious, overt

a putrescent phalanx,
quite quintessential a querulous quorum
a quatre

raucous resounding raptorials retreated
subsequently seizing sizeable sarcoid
sections in scissor strokes

total tormentors, that time twists the
ugly utilitarian
veracious victory

works the wild

yearning as

zealots
