Tragic AuthorI’m looking forward to being a tragic author
I’ll sit on a cloud with no silver lining
And become the male equivalent of a spinster
With words as my spouse and books as my offspring

At least then it is I who will control the outcome
For the lives of my heroes and heroines
And since I’ll not be afforded a happy ending
The least I can do is to give one to them

The Lord said ‘no’ to my happily ever after
Perhaps to inspire my imagination
A hollowed out heart is an ideal home after all
For my mind’s perpetual inspiration

...So thank you to the author…Thank you to the author for every written word,
For every single letter that fell from your silver sword.

I know this is the end, because the ink runs dry…
I look down at the paper and I begin to cry…

This is the end, the final chapter, I have to say goodbye.
The fantasy has ended; the world you built will die…

In memory I will keep it, inside my heart of glass…
Again and again I shall reread it, until more time will pass…

… So thank you to the author…
... For every time I smiled…...So thank you to the author3 years ago in Concrete Poetry

An Unprofessional Author2 years ago in Reviews & Guides

The AuthorI believe I'm hollow inside. My heart is trembling, overflowing. Why should I care about you and not them? Why do I care about them and not you?

I select my weapon; the tool that could be the end of you, bring your love, your life, your death with just a flicker of movement. But your life doesn't matter. Only theirs.

My pen swirls a fine line between wrong and right. The molten liquid core inscribes events, and as I watch a universe comes to life in my hand. An entire world oozes from my fingertips, populated with such beautiful people if only I cared to put them in it. Each syllable they utter is my music, their actions my choice.

The Author and Alice.I swear that I try though even my best work is insufficient. No matter how bright and magical those thoughts are that dance around my brain, I am never fully capable to portray them to you. Not faithfully anyhow. I solely wish that I could, for these ideas of mine are so precious that they fill me with a pure sensation of happiness and glee. They dance around my mind with all their might. But for now, knowing that you love and appreciate the poor relocation of these living dreams is enough. I thank and love you for it, despite my incompetence and inability to fully comprehend what you find so great about whatever it is that I produce but justThe Author and Alice.1 year ago in Haiku & Eastern

An Author's NightmareAn Author's Nightmare

-----

The inkwell has tipped and fallen;
Its black liquid seeps forward
To engulf the paper, the pen.

The desk is unable to hide
From the dark, soulless mess
And it creeps over the side.

Within it, millions of lives,
Alongside millions of loves,
All fade, none left to survive.

Characters die before they breathe,
and a melancholy ache screams forth,
for the creator has fallen on knees.

"No, no, this is impossibly untrue!
My life, my hope, my entire work?
All gone, not to leave me a few?"

His tears slip down a haggard face
And his shaking hands turn black
With such dark, despondent taste.

The Murderess AuthorA murder she wrote,
Of fallen plum blossoms and spilt apple juice,
Of scattered tea cake crumbs and whispered small talk.
She wrote the plan, the murder, the confession and trial,
On lace in vivid red wine.
Like a veil, death's calm draped its gossamer folds about her,
Her shroud complete, she was adorned as her fate's crown.
A single shot rang out.

Overcome your Writer's BlockOvercome your Writer's Block:

If you want to deal with writer's block
the plan is simple, tickty-tock
Give in to madness, go insane
search for words in the midst of rain

When you hit the wall on its painted face
with your fingers and knees you'll find a trace
The secret passage that will lead you through
or perhaps you might be eaten by a grue...

Oh well...

Back to the rhymes that I use to explain
If you try to go forward it will be in vain
So try a new direction, upward or down
Left or right maybe Charlie Brown?

There are no limits except in your mind
Now do a google search and what do you find?

The Avatar StateThe Avatar State:

Just as there are four elements
Existing in harmony with one another
So too are there four states of poetry:

[Air:]
Air is the element of freedom
Exemplified by the use of free verse
It has no structure and no true shape
But allows us creative control

Through the use of air as a poetic medium
We allow our emotions a freedom to be
We allow them to soar upon worded wings
Gliding freely through the skies of literature

[Water:]
Water is the element of the changing flow
It can be hard as ice or as soft as snow.
Its nature resembles the power of rhyme
Which grants us order and a structured mind
