a few select poems from me, a part-time wordsmith



A Circle of Power Draw I

 

*hands renni a sedative*
*scrapes renni's brain off wall and puts it into a can*
*writes SPAM on the side of the can*
"so that's what's in SPAM, I always wondered..."  says renni

renni dance you now with a dangerous fellow
types he, as he sips from his bubbly mellow yellow
for all those people who have told me what to do
i have always told them to blast and go foo
for you see of their opinion i care not a jot
their desires for me are nothing but rot
i live my life like a powerful force
self realized action, direct in my course

~

"its it really so hard to rhyme?" goes mark like a rapper
"make a snake and fake a great mistake" chimes he ever so dapper
i care not if you rhyme, i only suggest it for fun
your style is your own, fought and hard won
carve out your niche, and nitch your great notch
let me be like mary poppins, and pish my pish posh!

~

your world is so violent, but then you are young
frustrations a plenty, a life course far from yet run
i feel your random anger, but say "steady" you see
breathe in and breate out...  life is more merry
than the cynical glasses through which you now peer
they color your world with a gray looking sneer
you want for so much, and angry that makes you
you already have it all, inside you you do

~

on the walnut street bridge i draw a circle in chalk
and i say
renni stand in it
it is a magic circle
it is a fairy circle
a jet flies over head carrying weapons of death
spin around renni spin around but stay in the circle
watch the world blur as you fantasia a storm
the boards clatter under your feet
the leaves dance in the wind
a bird turns his head somewhere
far away a mother wonders
a teenager burns a cd
a sale is made
a thousand simultaneous things happen at once
and
you
stand
in
the
center
because i say
it is the center

you are who you believe you are
