CannonsfireShow poetry

The time at allpoetry has been fun but November my gold runs out and so do I, but I will be around to chat and read all my wonderful friends.

 

 

 

i am still and always will be cannonsfire

 

 

one final word

when did my voice become so small

just this morning i shouted

two dogs digging a bone

my front yard- i like my weeds

they're green

 

not one critter stirred

continuing, oblivious

to the half clothed

semi mutant and mad woman

through double glazed glass

 

so i thought about this world

how little i'd achieved

what i'd remember about me

 

again that whisper came to me

'it's not enough'

 

would someone replace me

be brave enough, take a risk

step onto frontiers

with washed out cheeks

blow it out their mouth

not their ears, as i did- do

 

or will the hush of field mice reign

ignominious, fat grey balls

curled into tighter holes

leaving imagination to rot like cheese

 

for every edict i have response

for rules i have a breaking point

for freedom i have non specific love

 

specificity breeds pigeons

and i'll be damned if i don't

shit all over compromise and conformity

 

i love without restrictions

i believe without reservations

i hope without constraints

 

i am but one voice

never loud enough

 

somewhere

someone listens

 

for that i am grateful

 

letting poetry speak the silence

my voice never learnt

know your name and go your own way

    Thank you for your comment I have to tell you, it's people like you who inspire me to write. Though I don't add much to this site I write quite a bit, and poems like yours called "reading milton i found reason..." make me want to strive to be so much better than I am. There is so much beauty and power in your words, and I hope that someday I can move someone as greatly as you moved me with that write!

    oh...i happened to see you in the picture along Lake Superior. My b/f lives in the UP of Michigan and I am seriously planning to (soon I hope) move that way. That is such a beautiful area. Never been to Minnesota though. I have similar pictures though of that lake snow covered.
