Stair Poem (After A.A. Milne)

Photo and poem (also in alt text)

(4/?)

#poetry #poetsofbluesky #architecture #nycpoetry #poem #nyc #lifttothesky #writingcommunity

Photo, no descriptionAfter A.A. Milne—

A lifetime can be whiled away
at the bottom of the staircase,
gazing up at how many flights
rest unbidden and waiting.

A lifetime can be whiled away
at the top of the staircase,
ogling back at what’s climbed,
longing need for those passed.

But a lifetime can be found
only somewhere on a middle stair—
when your legs are heaviest
and your eyes are locked

on nothing but the next
step that must be taken.

For #PoetsOfDoom an #acrostanka, a mashup of #Acrostic & #Tanka

Pretty words floating
Ovid to Ouyang Xiu...
Eternal beauty
Manifested to express
Soul's timeless sublimity

A photo of leather bound books. All are all Greek plays, poetry, and myths. A poem reads:

Pretty words floating 
Ovid to Ouyang Xiu...
Eternal beauty 
Manifested to express
Soul's timeless sublimity

#Emoetry | #Unconvinced

Unconvinced I can make a difference,
I struggle not to let my resolve falter.
From doubts I seek deliverance.
I must persevere, become a fighter,
Otherwise I will be a moral pauper.

"One in Three"

From "Contact Light" (2025, Alien Buddha Press)

Stop! Listen! I was on my way
(It doesn’t matter where);
The stars were fading into day,
& in the East a bloody flare.

The wheel was heavy in my hands,
The traffic fast though sparse;
My eyes were swollen, gritty, &
I needed food & coffee, fast.

A sign for services appeared,
Blue through the windscreen’s blur,
& taking extra care I steered
Into a car park vast & bare.

Alone & stranded on a coast
Of tables stacked with chairs,
I ploughed through mushrooms, eggs, & toast,
& finished two cafetières.

The gents was clean enough, & yet
Beneath a piney scent
There was a whiff of winding sheet;
I quickly splashed my face & went.

Refreshed, replete, yet ill at ease,
Brain squirming like a toad,
I drove towards a stand of trees
That stood beside the exit road.

A sense of dread broke on my soul,
I sped up ̕til the car
Was barely under my control —
& then it came, as black as tar,

A cat that streaked across my bow.
I wrenched the wheel in vain;
The car was still, I don’t know how,
& I sat shaking from the strain.

At last I found the strength to stir
& got out of my seat,
& found the body — matted fur
& bloody face, no more than meat.

The corpse was tangled up inside
The radiator grille;
I stared at it — my eyes were wide,
My breath was short, my stomach ill.

I couldn’t bring myself to touch
This thing of bone & hair,
To pull it from the metal’s clutch;
Reluctantly I left it there.

I got back in, & as I left
The rear-view mirror showed
No sign of car park, Little Chef —
Only a long & empty road.

Since then I’ve driven up & down,
The cat a badge of shame,
But found no village, found no town,
No exit back from where I came.

Only the service stations drear
That dot the motorway,
In which I sometimes find an ear
Prepared to listen to my tale.

But now I see your friends are back
& with them you must go —
& I’ll continue on the track
Of one who’ll hear me & not lack
Compassion for me, & will hack
From off my car that carcase black,
& loose me from these bonds of woe.

Photo, no descriptionI am the old and I am the new.
Where brick-bone and glass-pop.
Where sewer arteries move train cars
and millions of cells powerhouse through.

I am an art deco street light
with Bluetooth compatibility,
lamp-shading your selfie
any every hue you want tonight.

I recently decided to start a #Substack as a hopefully effective way of sharing my bit of light in the world's darkness. Who else is there? Please make yourself known 😊

For #PoetsOfDoom another "acrostanka" a mashup of #Acrostic & #Tanka. My new favorite🙂

Talking no meaning
Air wasted to convince you
Nasty politics
Kickoff a new age ignore
All their selfish blandishments

For #PoetsOfDoom an "acrostanka", a mashup of #Acrostic & #Tanka

Heartfelt emotions
Avalanche of thoughts cascade...
Inspire poetry

Knowledge of a higher truth
Understood by feeling art
