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

Well, what can I say about this? It's all been said, history made with 95,000 manic U2 fans at the Rose Bowl, the single largest event ever staged there and I was part of it. It's almost too surreal. Never in my wildest imagination could I have ever thought I would get tickets only 3 days before the event and be in tOctober 26, 500 words. → 2 comments, Add one?

SweetDecadence on October 22Thank 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!

luv2dream on August 31oh...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.
