A lack of literary artifice is no sin,
So long as the way of the words invite the soul in.

Both low and high.'

His mentality frozen by restless rust,... more »

Cat & I
There we sat
Just me and the cat,
Upon a bench overlooking the river Thames,
The cat turned to me
And said, I believe I see
Some approaching cranes.
To the cat with eyes
Always looking rather wise,
I smiled and replied thus,
Is the crane afloat
Aboard a wayward boat
Or arriving atop a bus?
The cat and I
Both did sigh,
For we had come to understand,
Never could we see things quite the same
Life as serious or life as game
For she is a cat and I a man.
So now on the bench she and I continue to sit
Without expressing thoughts one ...
I knew what a person was. I was very smart and always had money in my pocket,

Smoky, your poetry always leaves me wanting more of your insight and abandon. I love your work. Poem Hunter: I
am having trouble with reading poems on here of late. When I pull one up it goes before I am finished. Que past?
Smoky, Contact me at boonejim88@yahoo.com. We should do some poetry readings together. Jim
I find your poetry beautiful because of the honest heart-truth in it and how spontaneously you lay out that truth in smooth flowing words. I wish I could learn that art!
Everything I have read of Smokey's is well written and deeply inspirational- and very moving and interesting to read! ! Good work!
What can I say about Smokey, I know he is a great poet whose morals and positive outlook on life always shine through his words. His love for the great American Southwest which I share has endeared him to me. I can see his values and love for God in all his poetry. I just hope someday to be able to walk the Mojave with this poet who is such an inspiration t so many. Until that day pal, keep em flying.
Smoky's a poet with depth of heart, and an understanding of the human condition. always a good read!
Continuous kindness, class, and deep thinking. That is what I know of Smoky Hoss. His name might convince you he has rough edges: but don't fall for that. He is a splendid writer and I'm glad I've come to know him here at poemhunter. You'll never regret reading his poetry; it will open your eyes to things you never suspected existed, to things you never gave much thought to before..he dreams hope into his messages to the reader, a valuable and lacking commodity in this age.
