YOUR POETRY

[solidbodylovesongs]

I posted this note on Marian Hayes page at the Guild Literary Complex website. Marian is from my home town Chicago and the author of a poem, "The Blues".
I hope that this note is ok. Let me know if it is please brothers and sisters?

Marian,
A haiku poem, including you
little blue tome, something new
with truest tone, like hearty sinew
current thoughts ohm, from color cue

azul earthly dome, my favorite too
to dreamers loam, words are the clew
in the center pome, kindness nourishing dew
and so love shown, yes your nous la doux

my smile grown, disappear le mous
happy today, thanks to you
my crafted om, your skillful coo
on passed hone, for a reflection or two ?

Just a note, only a note,
thankyou,
Roland

a band of Sisters and Brothers
fits us to a tee
life chose us
more than the others
all of our I's and My's became We
here, is our SAHB casa
hear it's musical method
from our sonic Mothers and Fathers
giving help to the helpless
showing hope for the hopeful
tearing down the walls
from around this world
with a clear melodic shield
for those that listen
for them that hear
we message this message
you're free to be
guitar hero's, with
a band of sisters and brothers
yeah, that fits us to a tee
life chose us
and then no others
all of our I's
and all of our My's
are, We

Just feeling lost
lost without love
white feathered wings without a dove
got a push but needed a shove
just a below without an above
a clock on the wall without its hands
some pages of music without a stand
having a soul to share
with a soul-mate who's not there
a table set without a chair
showing concern, no one to care
if only a right without a left
like hearing the laughter but missing the jest
or a friendly hug but no caress
a casual buss but not a kiss
to go for a walk though all alone
like having a house but wanting a home
a handsome face without a smile
with no one there to stay awhile
those lonely days, alone as one
those cloudy skies, that block the sun
just like a shoe without its sock
a tiny wood cuckoo without its clock
or an oaken door without a knock
a watch that tick's but doesn't tock
on a crowded street feeling all alone
then wait in silence by the telephone
ready to answer yet no one calls
would climb a mountain, there are only walls
a patient search, wishing to be found
hearing the music's melancholy sound
like a carousel on its own, it just goes around
stuck in the middle, neither up nor down
just feeling lost
lost without love
waiting patiently
for someone .

A re-post, wishfully thinking:

Spring

Spring, is now here
the earths first change of seasons
is done for this year
now, for us humans, to the one
the first task of the first season
has all but just begun

It's spring cleaning time
chasing away winters grit and grime
taking out the dusters and brooms
the rags and the buckets
the sponges and mops
the soap and water and trusty vacuums

Completing the task, room by room
the upstairs and the downstairs
sanitize and reorganize, the inside affairs
then outside to manicure and trim
to make way for new growth
with much love and care

There is work to be done
as work is and work goes
this work is the closest to fun
preparing for growth and growing
new life and new love, now everything glowing
before summer has come

So jump into the task
with both hands is the plan
with a wipe and a swipe, a heave and a ho
a sweep and a mop
and before you know
the cleaning race will be ran

Then the other part of spring time
that we all have waited for
the spring of enjoyment
the spring of renewal
the spring of fresh fun
fresh spring fun by the ton

With an attitude of gratitude
and appreciation of everything and everyone
a search for new love with just the right one
unless you have one already, then keep playing with them, carry on
and watch as the love hunters
search for their special one

From the sky rain is falling
tiny splashes into droplets forming
green plants and grasses drink the heavens offering
as a cascade of agua blankets the earth this morning

[solidbodylovesongs]

A stormy Thursday rumbles in
lightning crashing thunder begins
from a rainy night, still raining this morning
as the new day is dawning, stretching and yawning

why
a small word with an extra ordinary depth of connotation
asked regularly at all levels of interest and frustration
of people who couldn't possibly know why
in the context of the application

why's implications
such a small word such big expectations
could it be as simple as the word without too many complications
why, it is in the context of the interest and the frustration
is why that is and that is why

A post from my friend on the Fender Lounge Forum, "Lately I've been reading an absolute ton of bullshit about what might be and what aren't Fender brand strings.
So if you know the truth or maybe some truth please post your insights here.
Thank You"

my response,

The truth is that there is always some truth in the truth
how true it is to you from your point of view
are you behind the big desk
wearing robes and handling a gavel
are you the dipstick down front
wringing his hands as his life unravels
all true and nothing but true
that is up to you
keep the BS out of it I hope :lol:

Haiku anyone ?

different atmosphere sensitize
afternoon air rushes by
azure hue in the sky

[solidbodylovesongs]

Happy Monday to you all !

Lord, my life has been a miracle
every moment really wonderful
each and every day in each and every way
you showed a way to be humble and thankful
for the way that your love shown
through all of the shades of grey
shown through and brightened my path my way
I've not ever felt the need to ask for more
you gave me confidence and clear intent yes that is for sure
but this one thing I ask of you, it's because I can't do this without you
Lord, I need a do-over, just one more miracle
to go back in time with ones that I love
back to the best of times back to the finest of times
with those loved ones of mine
to show them that I really love them
to show them I really care, yes
Lord, I need a do-over, just one more miracle
just this one, just this one miracle more

PS: To quote my favorite Australian poet maroonandgreysweater, "I'll finish this later" lol.
there is a tune and a couple of verses for this. grin emoticon 8)

This one I posted on the Fender Lounge Forum:

I thought of this rhyme with a FB friend in mind. A jazz singer whose voice I like. She is very cool people over all.
The tune for this is very heavy metal to counterpoint the korny lyric's lol :

1st verse

You've got this feeling, just trust your heart
I wouldn't lie, I want you too
you can't believe, you'd ever get this far
right now I tell you boy, it's true

(refrain)
You don't believe
you should believe
believer

2nd verse

It is your call, just you callin' me
taste of your love, just what I need
don't fall in love boy, I want you to stand
stand up and be my lover, man

(refrain)
You don't believe
you're what I need
believer

(I need an editor :oops: )

I cant stop feeling sad today
a very close friend has passed away
it wasn't supposed to happen
a simple procedure the doctors did say
pre-op post-op then home in one day
something unexpected during his prep
and to critical care his body was swept
and there he stayed four days until the end
the doctors couldn't explain it
an autopsy they said
we'll look and find the reason
now that your dear friend is dead
I said a prayer this morning
when I heard the saddest news
dear lord keep his soul up there with you
not down here with the ones that set him free too early
the hospital of fools

An old one. Think of something new I thought.

Aesop

You can write about anything
from jumper cables to Aesop's fables
from alpha to zeta and mythical tales
start writing words if all else fails
toss out a term onto the table
a name a title perhaps a label
a color red or blue or orange or sable
if it seems a bit quirky or a little unstable
come back to it and rewrite
when to make more sense you are able.

[solidbodylovesongs]

Together

If I could fly, I would
I wouldn't fly away
I couldn't see my friends
If my friends could fly
I would fly with them
around somewhere and then
together here again

[solidbodylovesongs]

Oh No

Oh what the f_ck
overhead flying by, 3 ducks
here on the ground, tough luck
my own creation, for a buck
miscommunication unbalanced, reflex up
what you say you can not, re-tuck
sometimes I feel dense as a, hockey-puck
that can hurt so, I suck......only once in a great while because the memory is going/old age. I know you're thinking "what was your excuse before?" don't be such a smart assa . (kidding?)))

[solidbodylovesongs]

Inspiration
to write can be fleeting
the window is open for only a time
to picture words with literal meaning
through a poet's eyes
illustrations are made of those kind

Oceans of emotions ebb and flow
while building literary bridges
connecting those writers that create
through knowing living being
a world of thoughts to show
like dreamers do while dreaming

[solidbodylovesongs]

Long ago, so very long ago I feel
something happened, a change
I can not remember exactly when it happened
when love walked out the door
the door closed so quietly
it didn't slam shut or make a noise
as it always had, when opening and closing, before
this time it did not make a sound
no, love left silently, as if not to let me know that it had gone
without a good bye, just gone and nothing more
this house, that love walked out of, is like any other
four walls a ceiling a floor
without love this house is not a home, not anymore
for as long, I have been hoping for love to return
waiting for love to come back
and turn this house into a home again
thoughts of hope are fading
as days pass along
even though I wait still
because love must come back
make this house a home once more
