greg richardson Poems

It feels so good
to hear you scream
Your lyrics
anesthetize me
...

Motherhood is not
about being perfect
Its about putting others
before yourself
...

I am done
with poetry
Unfortunately,
It is not
...

Why'd it take my death
for you to understand
You thought I was crazy
in a sane land
...

A poet
am I
We are not so common
as one might believe
...

In a moment
the turmoil
can cease to be
if only you write
...

I heal people
and transform
their lives.
My intervention
...

Print them all
I don't care
and if they make a dime
give it to my children
...

Too many tweets
not enough time.
...

What do you expect
a lonely childhood
and a disease
conspire
...

I am no Mark Twain
But then again
He was no Greg Richardson
...

12.

A day before
half way-
whether I'll really
live to eighty
...

13.

Hatred
so raw
no enemy dare
come my way.
...

I wonder how you know me
much better
than I know myself
I've lived this meager life
...

15.

Here we are
face to face
and I will not
forget the place
...

In her belly
shines the sun
a baby dipped in
golden light
...

Collapsing mind
my truth revealed
I will die
but I'll live again soon.
...

I'm a dime a dozen.
No one will read my poems
but my family and friends,
and then I will die,
...

Who knew
it would end up
like this
a mass of poems
...

Awakened from
a death defying sleep
What happens next
is a mystery to me.
...

The Best Poem Of greg richardson

Rock Music

It feels so good
to hear you scream
Your lyrics
anesthetize me
In they go
and change the mold
a method I find
quite bold.
Now I can
get through the day
and with your words
on my tongue
I can challenge
anyone.

Greg, I appreciate what you're trying to do (stripped-down philosophy) but your diction is just too mundane to make the poems interesting. Read someone like Rae Armantrout or Robert Creeley or W.C. Williams to see how this kind of poem is done well. Also, if you're going to use eccentric punctuation, be consistent....
