About me

I'm interested in your story, if you wrinkle your nose or just laugh out loud. I'm cliche and a little vain, easy going, open, and I always lay awake thinking before I go to sleep.

"whether fate delivers or chance recommends the young are out to sea". That's my word brotha! Ebbing and flowing with the rush of the tide. I've adopted my rhythmic thread from listening to Pink Floyd music and reading their lyrics. "Echoes" from their Meddle album. YouTube the song and you'll see what I mean. Where do you draw influence for your poetic structure and such?

Great commentary/post on that writing channel "Our Poetry Sucks" thread. Totally agreed with what you and Toru were discussing. Keep it up bro.

"The Midwest is unmistakable in me" is an unforgettable line.

Thanks for the comment. I read some of your work and am looking forward to not only more, but your input on some of my writing. I'm struggling. I don't know what is is... I feel like I have so much to say...but can't get it out.

Mannequin logic.. I really like this.

This poem has got it all man. Personification - a mannequin longing for human qualities..."the pink is sweeter";
nice alliteration..."paint me parted"; imagery is just outstanding..."and I forgot my bones pin me up proper (more alliteration)". This reminds me of that 80's movie where a department store clerk falls in love with a mannequin because she was under an Egyptian curse or something and came alive at night. Anyways bro, great job in this piece.

I enjoyed this. What was your inspiration? If I may ask.....

A new community for artists and creative minds - and a new Internet series from Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creative minds behind "My So-Called Life" and "Blood Diamond."

the north land calls home

Jun 30, 2008

the north land calls home

and spiked still but spun round

i turn, stopped the day before last

to the east line cracked

heard the west cry

over pink cloud conversation

my luck a rail way fare

will speed till the final midnight freeze

rot-hole stop

naked i'll fall to the DT worm

the north land calls home

and i confess baboon dreams

bull-ringed, guided by nightmare pincers

to save mother and sister

now gone and empty home,

once a hallway twice a closet

blank the first and monsters for second

naked i'll fall to a head's dead weight

and mouth blood drank till the midnight chime

last dawn's pipe and drummed

tap rumble of a still son's march

on the rock-mud road
