beneath a torn
roof
atop dust irons escape
wind fingers cool
the slip of nape

dirty denims
ragged shoes
no one here
disturbs the blue

no one here
too make
or break
the devils
idle angry
few

but secrets
buried in a kiss
closed off in
years a bend
a twist
shelters bureau
stolen scenes
alive like
wicca wicker
means

rust sunset
ginger lust
mortar white
red brick
through
clouds a moon
rises
park tree
sticks

Last of Augusts
sun
farewell
on braziers
diary
a bond did
fell
before
the dark
first pure
snows
spell

Loved the search for reasons of being here in this state where ever it is.
Just a tiny thing on the last few words:-

Last of Augusts
sun
farewell
on braziers
diary
a bond did
fell (FALL Maybe)
before
the dark (DARKS the THE is redundant)
first pure
snows
spell
Not sure if you just write, or each part is constructed meaningfully, but as usual a great impression,
I write in Auto mode most of the time, only when someone wants strict form, do I spend many minutes on construction.
Take care young Man, and know we do read all of your works,
Yours Ian..

Give critique to help keep Neopoet great.
Unconditional love to you all.
"Learn to love yourself first"
Yours as always, Ian.T, Sparrow, and Yenti

to and too I get mixed up and
I consistently spell the same words
wrong over and over...

Fall would be proper
and Yes...as another noted
I dont need to use "The" as
often as before..
Im slipping up and falling back
into the bad habits

tic tock
the block

instead of just
Block
that roll I like
in writing

only because then I
have too think harder
when Im writing

no the writing falls automatically
anything more then a minute
on a line and the fretwork of
the flow is gone
for me..others can sit and work
on poems for a long time
I cannot..

improv or nothing...

as far as reading...I know
a lot of people now read
my works....
comments are not necasary
as sometimes the peices
are abstractly intimate
or cryptically eccentric
as in very oblong
more of a Hmmmm
moment
or wtf moment
ha ha

I remember the Orgami works
I like Minatures...
not as in toy train sets
or bonzi tree
but those strange room
sets that people create
tiny little things
I had nightmares where
I was but a spec and the
world was monstrous
the alice moments
too large and too small
in the fruedian it would
be all about control

having all of it and still
not having control
that illusion
often a game played
between people
anyway Im rambling
ambling

thank U

like word paintings, a riff on the senses, like an instinctive brushing of colour like a new take on impressionism. As for this little gem:

no one here
too make
or break
the devils
idle angry
few

redolent of Blake's imagery, could almost be an old trochaic octameter::

no one here to make or break the devils idle angry few

linger long beneath the sky and never fade from Hades view!

Cool!

Take care.

I come across qoutes..teachers were always throwing them at us
in school and in the cafe where they would drop in on me
my mind bubbling a brew of ideas and thoughts..sketching
poets..doodles and my crew of brilliant young idealists
jocks...musicians..socialites..looking back it was unique
although I took it for granted then....Great lines..
I like rime or however thats spelt ..but I was in the lowest
grade through high school....just squeaked through
no sleep...alcoholism..drug use..numb the pain..I rode
through a painful long divorce of parents..
and my dads depression till he found a wife
but like all through high school...social anxiety
but i loved writers..poets....I listened to music and
loved the lyric words but too years too hear it in
the music itself....never could follow movies till years
later...thought issues from a kid time too now...
but I grasp it....still cant remember any full songs
save john prine of all things....

i play guitar and piano..like just dabbling at it
but those that can only play by sheet music
say with effort I could be a good player..
but I live in quiet risky places along so
any kind of keyboard thing would be
out....earphones keyboard maybe
never thought about that,, anyway
redolent..love that word too
and like U ..like the street speech too
awesome time too live in it.

thank U!
