tragic writers poets write; pain tragic accounts of wars;
all wars are tragic all innocent; youth sold hero myths;
war will acid agony like a worm; eating brain teach lessons;
what is wrong what is right; as scream youth hero charges;
...

many poems written a poet may assume will never be read
poet sole reader had to read these poems to write them
poet may abandon the poem mid writing after completed
poet found some need some desire to write inner words
...

I have time past written
happy poems when sad
sad poems when happy
like seasons in our hearts
...

wake which words written makes all the difference?
what when where why how makes all the difference?
writing in fierce white heat makes all the difference?
cutting through topic theme a laser beam makes all the difference?
...

in a single moment
back in the past
just beginning to write
...

the humour of a tale well told
in clever antics a witty ditty
written in catchy rhythm style
...

the energy
of heightened
emotions
...

the trauma of hurt feelings lost love
is voiced in silence and vocal sounds
hearts passion pierced time betrayed
...

we are the wind
spreading ourselves
carrying diversity
...
