thank you beautiful spirit for sharing

your talent with me!  I am honored!



So...you wanna read some REAL poetry?



Long Winter by Rowan


There is emetic element
within white snow fire-
a sick kind of longing
to be that beautiful.

Not as painful as loneliness
but quicker thrust-
sharp sink to stomach
to an unshaped sigh-

when mouth is ajar
but empty. Cathartic
like press of my face
to cold burn of winter

when fingers talk for me
in condensation streaks-
words pulled from water
all look the same


but taste of old suppers
and stale cigarettes. Stroke
wet-dirty tips to crepe
spread of lips to

mouth a scream
against glass, then peer
into that silent round- now
a frame for today

inspissated muddle
of mind over no matter
as I squash syllables
like slow-moving bugs

soft pop and squish
of nothing more to say
and this poetic dissension
to think otherwise.

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW IT WILL NOT MATTER THE SORT

OF HOUSE I LIVED IN, WHAT MY BANK ACCOUNT WAS

OR THE CAR I DROVE...
BUT THE WORLD MAY BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE I WAS IMPORTANT

IN THE LIVES OF THE ANIMALS AND CREATURES

OF THIS EARTH.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND COMPASSION

CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

 


 

 

"Never believe that animals suffer less than humans.
Pain is the same for them that it is for us.
Even worse, because they cannot help themselves."


   Dr. Louis J. Camuti


"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."


   Mohandas Gandhi


"Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. Compassion is the anti-toxin of the soul."


   Eric Hoffer
