Goodbye/Lucky by Ron Woodruff
Goodbye/Lucky by RW
I have to find the barrier, the drop,
the scarier stop
The rest of the 80-90 empirical proof
If I'm a goof I'm glad to be so
loud and free
though I often whisper
Open scars and mean guitars
my family name will not last
The past, the apathetic Czars
the prototype, the blast
I am quite insane
looking through cellophane
but despite have had a transcendent life
Read the rest of the poem Show less
as fun as spontaneous writes rife
with honesty, sometimes ugly
somber or unleasant
and the stars above
and I the coiled pheasant
gripping underbrush shrub
when the grey sky breaks
and the guns discharge
It like wrestling is fake
and truth a colliding barge
for love and poetry's sake
I wish it more than goodbye.

About Me
About me
I have studied and loved what is considered High Literature but I still care as much about the vitality of a genre writing. Much of my poetry comes from the topics of Love, War, a pattern to the universe, what it all means, sexuality, and narrative storytelling. I love enhabiting other voices.
