Well, I translate poems sometimes, and it helps the translator work better when you write the message in paragraph form. Then after translating it, you go back and give the poem from by dividing the lines. Not much, but you might want to try it.
one of the beautiful things about poems, is that they can transport you into the mood. if you read the alarm clock poem, it has a very distinct mood, as i see you all have picked up on. the idea of my poetry, is that it puts one in a place, where if they use their imagination, they can be...
well, i decided to write a poem that no-one can debate... lol

The Storm
As the sky rolls on,
today's weather changes,
Mother Earth says 'hello'
the wind blows, hot and wet
today's weather changes,
the sky grows...
thanks!

The Lotus
In fleeting sighs,
I let go of the trappings
Caught in my soul,
For my days,
Have imprinted on me,
A way to keep them all.
But to let go,
Means to let subside
These passions I foster.
As feelings of peace take over,
Deep in my being,
The lotus slowly...
Somewhere Deep Inside
Part of me is silently alive,
It brings forth something vaguely remembered,
Pulls it to the forefront of my mind,
Like a cycling of my running memory.
It brings forth something vaguely remembered,
A look into the distant brought near,
Like a cycling of my running memory...
would like to change line 11, of The Riddle Box, from 'How do I then live' to 'How am I to live' - seeing it was in the original poem, and was altered when I recited it by memory.
The Riddle Box
The box I've lived in
For most of my life,
Has now been opened
And I see outside.
Was it death...
Here's another on a different subject altogether.

The Riddle Box

Was it death that showed me?
Of course it was!
For when I think of death,
The box opens up.
For death has showed me...
I totally dig the exerts, you have a wonderful way of writing. I get the sense that your writing has purpose and meaning, and I can only say that I feel like I'm sitting at the feet of a wise teacher.
I'm glad that you changed paths in your career and decided to take up writing. And love the...
thanks poppy, seems to touch you the way it does me. That is one of my all-time favorite poems I wrote, as it takes me again and again on a wonderful journey.
Well, I wrote another over the last three days, and I can say, its finally came out as something worth sharing. enjoy...
Here's a little poem I'm writing now...
Like the many clouds
That coast in the sky,
So too do my thoughts.
And without a doubt,
Each word that a see
Carry me about.
you guys have written some great poetry.
I especially liked the 'don't pick up the pieces of the jigsaw of pain' - very well put Gita V.Reddy.

thanks, glad you liked it.
The first poem, was inspired by a birth in the family. So, I just worked it into an ongoing metaphor for birth and the journey beyond.
The second poem, has a deeper meaning too, where, metaphorically speaking, we just don't want to get out of bed sometimes. I'll...
Drifting Forever Into the Unknown
Here I am, a drifter in space,
My body weightless, ventures
On, into the distant unknown,
Where my very presence speaks
To the emptiness, and gives it life
From the pulse inside my vessel.
Were it not for this once trepid vessel,
I wouldn’t know the...
