Jonathan Andrews Poems

Brave morning's guide by gilded shafts announced,
His silver yawns streaming upward in ribbons of wisp,
Turns his grasp toward lofty heights
And with a laugh rises to greet the new day, beaming.
...

What I yes who are right now
Ideas jumble in my mind
Refuse to form up in tidy lines
Deny cohesion
...

'Flotsam'
It's a funny word
For what I am
A castaway, unwanted, useless, garbage
...

You have a bad day
You know it's okay
Or that's what you say
You tell 'em you're fine
...

Close,
Tender,
You hold your claim.
Billeted rights, evident to all,
...

The moon in all her sable glory
Looked upon the waves and saw
A pilgrim in his humble story
Plaugéd by a wound so raw
...

The Royal Iterian Army
Was certainly winning the fight;
The bulletshots made the air stormy,
And gunfire lit up the night.
...

Something dark and sinister
Lurked on the Cosmic Cur--
The pirate ship, adrift in space,
Was bearer of an evil race;
...

Far below the steel-grey sky,
Where the realm of Loth does lie,
There approached my troop and I.
Silently we drew more nigh;
...

'Edibility', that is a general term
Used for anything which does not taste like a worm;
And though it may cause your poor stomach to churn,
Any food 'edible' thou shalt not spurn.
...
