everyone has a voice here
every note will flow
some of us are nightingales
some of us are crows
some of us are magpies
collecting shiny things
some of us canaries
which in the coalmine sing
some of us are larks
singing in the copse
some of us are ravens
gathered 'round a corpse
some are Laughing *******
who scream to beat the band
some of us are ostrich
with our heads in sand
some of us can "Twitter"
how we love our "tweets"!
some of us are silly coots
with funny orange feet!
some of us are toucan
with beaks that are outgrown
some of us are parrots
with a beak that's not our own
some of us are robins
hopping on the lawn
some of us are lovely
angelic, graceful swans
some of us are mockingbirds
yes, you could fit that bill
some are birds with feathers
which make a lovely quill
some of us are peacocks
great beauties, but a bore
some of us are hawks
which o'r deep canyons soar

some of us are eagles
symbols of our call
I welcome you to
birdland
where we are poets

ALL

All except for the parrots.
They need to be plucked!

What kind of bird are YOU?

have the words
to weave the magic carpets
that take us on virtual
trips to

heaven

or

*HELL*

you choose
Humans enjoy reading about
the bad before the good
sometimes

I'm going to be on the main site
for a while
I seem to have lost some
of my readership

That's okay
I'm here for the poetry
I don't participate in the gossip
and am distancing myself
from those who do

I have a core group of staunch supporters
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
I thank God for you

Poe
°°•●●☆●○•°°

to perceive with the mind of
Edgar Allan Poe
is to view the light in shades
and conceive of
purest black shadows
in the midnight heart of

BRILLIANCE

I was going to write of Poe
but most people know his story

The point is he was a damaged
human being
but absolute talent
still overcame

If you write dark poetry
WRITE ON

I may not "like" all of it
but I have a dark side, too
I've been through some very dark times
I write of my drug and alcohol addiction
But i DID overcome
Just because I write of Jesus Christ
(who literally saved my life)
doesn't mean I don't read and
appreciate the dark side

I'VE BEEN THERE

When you’re thinking about giving in,
Just remember:

Your talent alone speaks volumes.

To a World full of deaf ears.
Listen.

A healer with broken wings
Stands staring down at his hands
They are covered in crimson blood
As clear tears run down his cheeks like a flood

The memories..
They are all coming back to him now
Terrible things which he wishes he had never done
Things he wishes he could go back and change somehow

He lost his gift trying to free her
His love to him the greatest spurr
Yet still it was not him that broke the chains
Yet still it was not him that took away her pains

He lost his wings when he was cast from the order
His gift used up and his mind now in complete disorder
The ones above him saw him more as a threat
That it would be better to just cast out and forget

He lost any last shred of humanity when that creature came
When it tried to make him and it one and the same
For that life it took from him his sight
But ever more it had cast upon him a terrible blight

Now he is losing his sanity
As he stands in the rain contemplating life’s profanity
Everything is swirling around him in a cloud of dark abyss
Everything within him has gone terribly amiss
The simpleness is gone
And so is the light

  Now his mind is falling into…..                                                   
                               
   o

Opportunity, it can happen
to anyone, anytime

Talent in one,
don't need preparation

A little courage and confidence
is all it takes

Once you give your best,
they might not care
but satisfied, should be you
your heart!

Talentless with no position (Goon)
Talentless with position (Doom)
Talented with no position (Doom)
Talented with position (Boom)

Valuable is the caliber of a designee
Designation in itself is incompetent
Talented can exalt the lowest position
With talentless authority bears the brunt

Fixing to be a dead man,
But you're a dead beat,
Thought you'd learned something by now,
But you ain't hearing me,
Can't hide from the truth,
Swear that you could provide,
Thinking your the truth,
But your a lie,
Just a lying ******* in disguise,
Don't hide your head lil' boy,
To the streets you a toy,
To be played with and controlled,
I will always avoid,
Ignorance is in the room,
The devil won't protect you,
But you ain't hearing me,
Keep laughing,
Trying to be the good Samaritan,
Your own family wouldn't want any
Strikes on them,
And I don't blame them,
Hoping the Lord could save them,
You're no man,
Your no provider,
You're a ******* crook mixed with a
Scared little liar,
Boy want nothing to do
With the stupid activities you do,
And all the people that hang around you,
I just keep a hit list or two,
So please don't try me you sorry excuse,
From you claim to be,
Nobody has respect for you.
**** shame !!!
He writes with wisdom,
Careful insight, understands
People, life and land.
