Hello everyone!

I’m excited to tell you about a new group I’ve started on Facebook called “Let’s Talk Poetry and More!”

This group is all about who your favorite poets and passages are. I hope you’ll consider joining me, as we learn more about the poets of our time, and the ones that have long since past. This is not a group for self-promotion. I will be opening up the group twice a month for that, so be sure to look for those posts.

My goal is to be able to help you discover other poets you may not be familiar with, and learn together. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, or even answer questions asked by others.

I will not add you to the group. You need to click the JOIN button. We all have many groups we are involved in and it’s only right to respect your privacy.

I hope you decide this is a nice place to settle. Tea, coffee and cookies are always waiting. 🙂

In a fit of pique, we took issue with their words

We needed sage advice, from those who knew

Instead we shed the blood of thousands of men

The bitter act of war, is never the last thing to do

Rows of puffy clouds, floating by

What kind of secret is kept inside?

Pressed up against an azure sky

I can see them, but, what do they hide?

I heard someone say it is merely the rain

Though I am not sure they are right

I sense a calmness, across this plane

Closer together, they gather, aflight

Til the sky opens up, with a heavy sigh

And the sunlight bows down, to the mist

Their secrets, are no longer held, up high

Nourishing my soul, I am sweetly kissed

We can build ourselves a sanctuary, a place we can retreat

Even if it’s in an old garage, a means of paradise, on Earth

But, motivation keeps falling, we’re no longer so ambitious

Our will has dropped too low, we now suffer human dearth

“Here me now, my mighty king! This sword I raise to your memory! Would doth come back to us should we pray louder? We are but noble servants to this kingdom, a kingdom lost without its leader. I ask this, for the people, that you return, to once again lead us, make this realm the grandest in the land. Teach the young ones the glory of the sword, this sword that you used to conquer the less mighty, until that fateful day, when at last, the sword breathed no more. I stand before the brick of thy castle, in the hopes the spirits within, will find it in their souls to release you from these walls. Can you hear me, my mighty king?! I ask you to answer we, who have gathered to see you once again. Speak to us!”

“George…For Pete’s sake!! The whole neighborhood can hear you. Pretty sure the king is in hiding with all this publicity. Come inside, now, dinner is ready.”

“Yes, dear”

And with that, George returned his trusty sword to its case, now lying in wait for the return of the king..

To be continued…
