'they sing so sweetly' by AVERIL BONES

PS : to sponsor poetry visit Poetry Sponsors College Search

AVERIL BONES 'they sing so sweetly' in the scheme of things it's a drop in a bucket in a tank in a lake in a sea in a whole bloody ocean and the salty tang of swallowing just a drop shouldn't weigh me down in the bigger picture it's a dot in a blot on a cloud against a whole shaded sky stretching wider than wide so the brisk sting of that icy shard of failure shouldn't cut so deep it bleeds and bleeds it's a small thing the sun still shines, although more weakly the river runs, but sluggish and the birds that remain sing so sweetly they sing so sweetly Copyright 2006, AVERIL BONES, all rights retained

LYN LIFSHIN When James Dean Said Die Young and Have a Beautiful Corpse he was young and beautiful. Sylvia too still was with those long legs even though she maybe have had stretch marks. Marilyn was in her prime, Jim Morris, pickled, had to have been. Janis Joplin, too young for crows feet, lines. Sometimes it gets too late to die young: write you're a virgin and a suicide with a body that has to be lovely but if you wait too long, it is too long. Even JFK was still a hunk. Think Valentino, Harlow. But if you haven't left by some age too sensitive to mention, then it's too lat. Bardot, now couldn't be remembered pouting, that gorgeous sex kitten. At a certain point, people wonder if you are still living. Soon you'll be "Oh that guy, I thought he was already gone Copyright 2006, LYN LIFSHIN, all rights retained

Edge of Fantasy by GIL SAENZ

PS : to sponsor poetry visit Poetry Sponsors

GIL SAENZ Edge of Fantasy On the edge of a fantasy, Quickly we run from reality. We are searching For our own unique happiness. Imagining and wishing, Desiring the best of dreams, Remembering the secret hopes All the well-planned schemes, Never knowing exactly, How our story Would finally unfold. Eager hearts are always loving, Always yearning for their fantasy To behold. copyright 2005 Downriver Poets & Playwrights ( Wyandotte, MIHIGAN) reprinted here with permission of the poet.
