Charles Bukowski
Every Friday I share a poem that I love and that inspires me. Today it’s Bukowski who taught me that poetry doesn’t have to be pretty and rhyming. I’ve read a lot his poetry and this is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Would love to knowContinue reading “Charles Bukowski”
Sailors Song
We are all at the mercy of the sea. 12/07/2021 Softly I sing My sailors song It’s both happy and sad Roaring and soft Proud yet humble Dashing yet shy I sing it to the stars That they might remember me As more than a rogue As more than a black sheep The melody is mysterious The rhythm isContinue reading “Sailors Song”

The Light in the Tunnel
Freedom hangs like heaven over everyone 9/8/2018 My time on the inside is passing by And I can start to see the light At the end of the tunnel And while some learn To love these walls For me every step is agony And that light Looks so brilliant and true That I simply can’tContinue reading “The Light in the Tunnel”
