What, who, or where
the sages portend

What, who, or where
the shamans belie

What, who, or where
the scholars defend

What, who, or where
—not questioning why

What sense marks the line
Of being together or falling apart?
Either response tastes the same on my tongue
And weighs the same on my heart
DENNY R ALLISON Dec 2022
I awaken in the dark of night,
     To a stark and chilling sight.
         11:34 reflecting the alarms red light.
I got a big surprise when I typed up my poem. You see my alarm is digital and 11:34 looked much different, and it startled  The you no what out of me

I hope there will be a future, "while"

Where the pain will ease,

and I remember your smile.

Pledge allegiance to the,
     Red,White, and Blue.
Not to the grievance of,
      Left, Right, and Untrue.

I Will,
Using only ordinary words, arranged just right.
slip through your eyes, and sense of sight.
Enter your imagination, with what I write.

On most days when I sit to write
Perhaps a rhyme or just a quote
Some words flowing without a fight
Some are poems I never wrote

I write about the things I know
The images that rise and float
But haunting are the seeds I sow
Detailed in poems I never wrote

Compose the promise that one day
I’ll finish strong, I make a note
But hidden words I want to say
Are in the poems I never wrote

The chances that I dare to take
Protected by my writer’s vote
I hide behind the rhymes I make
In the poems I never wrote
