i'm stuck in tHis loop
of trying to imprEss
why can't i Listen to my own advice
why can't i stoP
Does anyone know what happened with Jack?
His last name was Hornby or something like that
He came
Then he left
He followed me
Now he's only a dash
A deleted account I think
for sight
You created
the evening light
much anticipated
the dewy rose
a mountain view
inspiration rose
all from You
paintings painted
photos photographed
efforts wasted
on Your creation, autographed

for ears
You created
the calming of fears:
the raindrops, bated
the birds' cries
the wind in the trees
the buzz of flies
moving with ease
You inspired
so much more
but whatever transpired
You still kept the floor

for smell
You created
the spanish bluebell
a scent titrated
many more flowers
the ocean breeze
Yours more than ours
fill with ease
it all came from You
we make perfumes
and candles too
all fake fumes

for taste
You created
bee waste:
the honey instated
potatoes
blackberries
tomatoes
blueberries
even greens
You inspired other foods
all cuisines
that includes

all things
inspired by You
all of it brings
it back to You
The most important part of your smoothie
Without it it's just a purée
Just like the most important part of a poet
Without it they're just a human
50
This poem is number fifty
Could I say an anniversary?
Not years
But releases
Through many tears
I've released these
It shows my youth
How much older some of you are
In terms of experience
If a poem was a year
Some of y'all would be
Millenniums old
Some people think they can get away with just one line

Maybe they can
But they usually can't
Poetry is freedom
At it's core
But if you dig deeper
It's a little more
There are rules
Just easily broken
Many said
But some unspoken
It should flow
That's all you need to know
Before you go
And start your journey
We'll be here all the way
Here to help you every day
Just ask
We poets are here
Always looking for a volunteer
To join us
To look for more
I don't know what to do about this 'sgg'
I blocked him
He blocked me
Always the same message
I have a question about...........
Like he meant to actually put a question
But thought it funnier if he didn't

I told Eliot York
Haven't gotten a response yet
Hope it'll work
I'm new
Is this thing common?
He's gotten others out there
It's not just me

I need help
With this thing
This is my 'yelp'
This is my plea
Eliot
If you see this
Do something
