The Poet
by Tammy Darby

Hunched over the worn cypress desk
In the dirty yellow light
Trying to arrange thoughts in array
A small lithe woman, graying hair pen in hand
On the paper drops of life did lay

The mind soared to the heavens of Icarus
Ran blindly into the centaurs golden dell
Using her favorite metaphors wildly and with abandon
As dark poetry drawn from a ghost-filled well

The Realms of our Minds
by Tammy Darby

Let us journey into the realms of our minds
Travel willingly through the wormholes of time
Observe what has never been seen before
Throughout human history, legend and lore.

Shall we take a glance into our secrets hidden?
Force our emotions with no regret to due to our bidding?
Gaze cautiously into still reflections we conveniently forgot.
Wringing our hands, counting the hours of life’s clock.

Langford Reed Saved The Limerick Verse
by George Bernard Shaw

Langford Reed saved the limerick verse,
From being taken away in a hearse.
He made it so clean
Now it's fit for a queen,
Re-established for better or worse.

Among the dark poets
by Tammy Darby

From a murky corner I emerge briefly
Penetrating and blinding
Shone the light upon my face

To gush a few words of insanity
If I may say so though tongue in cheek
With a touch of eloquence and grace

A rare moment of clarity though quite fleeting
Upon you my irrational thoughts in verse I endow

A Multitude of Woes
by Carl Halling

Yes, there was a time
I was obsessed by melancholy,
I saw deep sadness,
The quality that so tormented
My former favoured idols,
Poets, painters,
Musicians, actors,
Creators of every kind,
As glamorous and romantic,
But it’s not,

Who are these celestial beings
by Tammy Darby

Frolicking with starbursts under moon cast skies
Lilting voices that by mere mortals will never be heard
Declining to express their loves and fears vocally
They have chosen to define emotion in ancient scripts of written words

Who are these unearthly bodies?
That construct imaginary worlds of their own
Casting away the burden of commonality
Sowing rare thoughts of the unusual slathered with unconventionality
Delving into spheres of the unknown

Life of poets
by Tharun Balaji

Each and every in our life
even when standing at the end of the knife
We will carry the lesson taught by fear
Which builds the words to fill your eyes with tear
There will be a war between paper and pen
All the time the pen will win
Atlast a para comes out we don’t know how
A good poem arises when the war turns into love

The Poet's Prayer
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

That my words bring to others comfort and joy,
And will remind them of small moments we enjoy,
Like when the midnight sky, touches the cool sea,
And the empty blackness ahead, resounds sweetly.

To give abundant hope to those who are striving,
Like the orange skies of new dawn just arriving!
That I may provide the sad or lonely a new friend,
That will be revisited in print again and again.
