One left standing on a plain white desert riding.
Wandering on all plains of illusionary life;
There in at my own time traveled past,
passed a pagan life of what it presented me on ancient ways of living.
Some say you influence the change or vice versa.
I don't know whom at what to consider as verse, prose or commandment or two.
Knowlingly you of the eye,
to your left a memory of battle ridden life.
. . . to your right a might of you son's hammer.
To me, a belief of a wayward life not a pagan's relief or belief.
Olde or new,
for me
to me
Its only a behavior of you.

Poetry is my past, the future rolls for no one. I'd rather have her exorcise my past and to entertain as life goes by in this chaotic world.

To the Mountains and Home
01/01/23 Dear Unnamed, So it is New Years once more, and you are still gone. Not that you could come back at this point, even if you wanted to. Though, I guess that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? You’re gone because you wanted to be. Funny how that works, how we always want something and someone else always wants the opposite. Like, I want you here, and you didn’t. So life goes, I suppose. What I find funnier, though, is that you would always say that “people in hell want ice water,” implying we all want something, but that doesn’t really mean shit because we don’t always get what we want. So, my question is this: why did you? Why did you get what you wanted when you knew full well no one else agreed? Why were your wants so much more important than all of your family’s and friends’ wants? Why do you get what you asked for when you’re the only one who wanted it?

How To Analyze A Haiku
The question kept coming up, Why does Vocal keep putting out haiku challenges? Three writers on Vocal of note certainly queried recently: sleepy drafts in “Why Haiku?”, MikeyDred in “Plague of Haiku”, and Scott Wade in “The Anarchy of a Haiku Challenge” (article links below).
