My poetry form, ellip, is being featured in the current issue of LYNX at AHApoetry.com from Jane Reichhold. A winning entry in my contest on PoetrySoup was "Honey Dippers" by Debra Squyres. Thank you to everyone who has written an ellip!
Rough drafts, final copies; my compendium of writing.
Music
Music is the mood in your bones
Keep it rolling like the stones
Vibrations that direct the soul
Sensations to dictate your role
Melody to make you feel at home
Rhythm for making the mind roam
Chorus of a heart that you know
Put yourself into your own flow

Compromise
I am tired of seeing war on the news
Get our acts together and get a clue
Not everyone needs to perish for you
Turn on those that try to hide truth
We have to see clearer than you knew

Teach Me The World
Who could not love culture or sharing each difference?
Do you not know what it feels like to be human?
Were you born with everything you need up until hence?
To miss out on that world would have me fuming!
We all need to figure out what it means to be another.
Quench the desire to spend your mind consuming.

Bonnie
Together Bonnie
We set out on a love spree
For eternity
Blinded by no tear
We will always remain near
Never showing fear
You have not left me
We survive in infamy
Bloody destiny

After We Exist Human Intelligence Remains Organic But Undying

Landslide
You build it up, to stand against wind
You layer it up, to withstand anythingYou shelter you, to repel away my rain
You and a bluff, to bury me once again
Just Believing
What is the world without wonder
or for no sense in needing to get up?
How many takes to pull you under
until you fight back and feel abrupt?
You have to be without breathing
having to hold all in, just believing
Last as long as you possibly can
for opportunity does not repeat again

WikiLeaku
Whatever you say
Will never silence one thought...
This is modern war?
The following is from WikiLeaks. Viewer discretion advised:
With respect to the duties of our soldiers, I commend their bravery and sacrifice, but should they have to be involved?
Perfect Day
I've never had a perfect day
but I've always known it's on the horizonThere's forever a part of me
blind that there's hope in the sun rising
I'll never stare too closely
as I'll not see what each day is devising
I've got to just wait for it
what I've not expected is most surprising
A tell tale sign I'm obvious
that I'm not seeing the day is disguising
If it's up to fate to decide
my perfect day includes it's own uprising
No Perfection
Nothing compares to her exotic allure
One glance brings an immediate desire
Painfully close enough to feel a fire
Each second burns when not beside her
Ready for anything at a beckon moment
Fresh and more than capable to own it
Everybody knows she causes a friction
Casting the light we want to be under
The essence of what makes us want her
Is this what perfection is only about
On second thought, I know the reality
No woman needs pressure of a pedestal
Daniel
My dad was always this mystery
A shadow from the past I never knew
My mom rarely talked about him
And I never begged for another clue
I met him as I turned eighteen
We went to a Rolling Stones concert
And it seemed somewhat surreal
To be as dried as the vacant desert
He gave the keys to my Mustang
A brown, little hatchback from 1980
It was wheels for a little bit
Even if it could barely go above 80
I was in Nebraska for one week
With him as he worked as a handyman
We talked and were catching up
But I know not what makes him a man
I met my half-brother in Omaha
When I went to visit many years ago
He clung to me like the memory
Of being a brother I may never know

Middle Ground
You have to be ready when there is no middle ground
You must stand far after life tries to get you down
You will be tempted to despair so become not undone
You mean as much each day as the rising sun becomes
You mean as much each day as the rising sun becomes
You help other people if you think they might drown
You gain new perspective not willing to don a frown
You gain new perspective not willing to don a frown
Lullaby
There comes a point in time when nothing can save your life
An unavoidable argument, death becomes your ultimate strife
No one is able to help you and only God will understand why
Life remaining a memory, resonating as your eternal lullaby
An unavoidable argument, death becomes your ultimate strife
No one is able to help you and only God will understand why
Life remaining a memory, resonating as your eternal lullaby
Valentine Delight
Part 1.
Valentine delight!
I know it's just a first date...
I should spend a night.
I see what you want!
Although we recently met...
Let's live for tonight.
How tempting of you!
But what's a couple more days...
What if it's not right?
Part 2.
Valentine delight!
I know it's just a first date...
Should I stay the night?
I see what you need!
Even though I don't know you...
What's wrong with tonight?
How tempting of you!
But what's a couple more days...
What if it's not right?

From Quarrymen
Paul met John twanging banjo, singing a medley
Awed at what he heard playing by The Quarrymen
Five became four struggling to reach a destiny
Boarding a plane on an eternal trip since then
Fingers Put My Mind To Keys
Do words live in my fingers
Making escape from the mind
Or might they be under keys
If they do live in the keys
Can I touch with my fingers
I hope they will never mind
But they sit within my mind
Not crammed inside the keys
Residing underneath fingers
Fingers put my mind to keys
(An entry in the "Introducing Tritina" contest)
What The Falk
There was a time when you could hold me
But I have since learned to walk
Another when thoughts seemed to cage me
Now digital is a relational talk
Imagine unique ways to display yourself
Try and shun what they will balk
Stand in the places outside of yourself
Let your mind free you as a falk
But I have since learned to walk
Another when thoughts seemed to cage me
Now digital is a relational talk
Imagine unique ways to display yourself

Let your mind free you as a falk
Tangled
Laying beside you in this heavy air
I turn to take in your sultry stareA desire to taste you fills my mind
To pull you in while taking my time
Lowering closer indulged in wanting
My weakness for you almost haunting
Making a way around your naked body
Every bit of you begins to taunt me
Softness curling around your nipple
Being this close is never as simple
I press to you while you hold tight
Tangled in sweat until we see light
Social Illusion
Gather close to read how things go down
Filling empty spaces with written sound
Turn it towards loud and alert the town
What of life went missing must be found
In the palm or on demand
Social illusion data jam
Bytes have taken command
Media cascading that dam
A little bit, not too much
Filling empty spaces with written sound
Turn it towards loud and alert the town
What of life went missing must be found

Techno-legit, um, and such
Never Abide
Have you held an awareness deep inside
Gripping emptiness you managed to hide
Emotions spinning like a carnival ride
But to giving in you would never abide
Life can hit us hard
Time will never stop
Watch for every step
Prepare for any drop
Disregard negativity
Invite risky chances
Be unlike the cliché
Tempt second glances
Flash
A glow in the eyes fixed on that prize
No way to disguise they are mesmerized
Flash in a mind illuminated with sight
Lightning strike just when it is right

Not Really Anything
Does the NRA want our Second Amendment to read: the right of the people to keep and be(AR-15) arms?
Independence
Independence only costs what you contribute
To live and die can be based on that choice
Fighting does not sound a call for violence
People accomplish so much more with a voice

Innocence Over Ignorance
Look at the faces of our victims in schools
To do nothing now ensures that we are fools
We justify the right to defend our freedoms
But not with expenses paid by innocent ones
Let this be an hour to reach out your hands
Listen to far cries of the neediest demands
Put down any notion of life without burdens
Lift someone else up to spread inspirations
Be present in the most important situations
The gift of life is universal preservations
Demands can be met with community solutions
Aiding those lost in their lonely delusions
Jerry & Tom
Jerry was running from Tom
The day it all went down
A mouse had the upper hand
And one cat wore a frown
On a quest with his mallet
As good as being in dark
That mouse was hard to get
Evading without one mark
Things were good for Jerry
He could always run away
Tom did what he always did
Plan for yet another day

Tom did what he always did
Plan for yet another day
Captured
Why am I not like what you want this to be
Looking up to yourself, peering down at me
The burdens for our love are getting heavy
Are we among rescued or captured eternally
Guided
She awoke suddenly in the midst of cold night
Startled from visions still held within sight
God rest near her bedside surrounded by light
Holding out a hand to navigate her end flight
Startled from visions still held within sight
God rest near her bedside surrounded by light
Holding out a hand to navigate her end flight
Ecovictim
Digital blackout
Another ecovictim
Saved by library
(Ecovictim refers to anyone impacted by any economy as of late. More specifically, me, when I had to budget without Internet service at home and relied on the public library.)

Moiety
Cultures of the world fill our senses
recognized by different contributions
Brave spirits preserving what is left
from bulging cities to scant villages
Living in every corner of this sphere
separated by individual circumstances
There is no way to rely on each other
without the push toward equal chances

Struck
Told her I could rope the moon
She said go hail a cab
But my truck is parked in back
Are you down with that
Throttling between those lines
Her foxy turns my neck
I want to brake but keep going
Keep the mind in check
Moving up to break that stride
The end is what we bet
Something possibly rolls along
Better to never forget
Looking ahead and she is there
I might get in a wreck
Cannot keep my mind off of her
A sort of love lunatic
With many others my soul waits
My heart placing a bet
Will it or does it never exist
She could just say yes
She said go hail a cab
But my truck is parked in back
Are you down with that
Throttling between those lines

Wisconsin

Lumber years past
Nature its center
Those unmentioned
Always remembered
Any native spirit
Without exception
Packers call home
Barging on rivers
Schooling Badgers
Big river brother
Paper and welding
Milling and ships

Thank the world for its people that have been created
Shake a hand you disagree with after you have debated
Remember that the stars still do not know we are here
So getting one above is the worst thought of the year
Believe that time tries but fails to ever stand still
Doing what you know is true does challenge every will

Heat It Up
We melted alongside each other in the beginning
Gathering to build a love to be forever burning
With our kindling combined this flame only grew
Adding what we thought as if we knew what to do
Not enough made this bonfire almost smolder out
But ambers are blessed for surviving throughout
Glances for us will always ensure we heat it up
Flaring from the ground and flowing as we erupt
Gathering to build a love to be forever burning
With our kindling combined this flame only grew

Not enough made this bonfire almost smolder out

For Two
Alone on the other end
of a call that just hung up
Turning off his phone as he
reaches to fill a cup
Time again being here
reunited with burdened luck
This moment is no different
getting into the truck
Pulling onto a highway
to avoid a southbound train
Looking only at darkness as
his eyes turn to rain
Life gave him no more
reasoning to be who he knew
Just like the social cliché
ending in fate for two
of a call that just hung up
Turning off his phone as he
reaches to fill a cup
Time again being here
reunited with burdened luck
This moment is no different
getting into the truck
Pulling onto a highway
to avoid a southbound train
Looking only at darkness as
his eyes turn to rain
Life gave him no more

I Am Me
Somewhere within my deepest being
Lies someone who is always seeing
Staring into how I am the most me
Becoming what I have wanted to be
Lies someone who is always seeing
Staring into how I am the most me
Becoming what I have wanted to be
Vetting
Politics in the USA on a downward spiral
Overworked anthems saturated with denial
Contemplating this stalling and lobbying
Makes me wonder why things are happening
All we have left is a vote counted right
Constituents unite to kindle their light
Learn about who is the correct candidate
Those making every choice for each state
Overworked anthems saturated with denial
Contemplating this stalling and lobbying
Makes me wonder why things are happening
All we have left is a vote counted right
Constituents unite to kindle their light
Learn about who is the correct candidate
Those making every choice for each state
Forward Resurgence
Locked in us all is the power to be
just that much greater unexpectedly
Summon a sort of forward resurgence
reaching out to proper intelligence
Focused on the well-considered plan
becoming part of nothing other than
Remember to watch for any deviation
following that trail of inspiration
just that much greater unexpectedly
Summon a sort of forward resurgence
reaching out to proper intelligence
Focused on the well-considered plan

Canvas
Every mind is painted on a separate canvas
Lines brushed to give edge to their scenes
With a multitude of colors peppered around
Bordered by abstruse and diverted memories

Snow
Snow gives scenery its blanket view
But can quickly turn any back askew
Better seen than for pushing around
Not so bad until hitting the ground
Gliding across it is how I am found
To a warmer scenario than this town
All the temperature does is go down
Early spring will not make me frown

Dreams Away
What is the state of our world today?
Are you feeling any of this disarray?
Does everything seem to be so astray?
Can all of us work in unison someday?
Will we look to see every better way?
How might love be knowing it to stay?
When does life reach beyond each day?
Who has the mind to take dreams away?

Lotto
Lying under a counter they say
One dollar is the cost to play
Two to make your winnings more
The next ticket is it for sure
Oops, being lucky is not today

Suicide Soldier
They sent him to serve without regarding his life
Voting for redemption instead of his kid and wife
He treads within mazes and shadows of a lost city
Those willing to die to save their family dignity
Fighting back against hateful ignorances believed
What anyone will gain is only how it is perceived

Prognosis
Living simply renewed
Something coming true
Shaking off ignorance
Paid from persistence
Too many trips around
Finally answers found
From an eleventh hour
Stories will not sour
In this new beginning
The days worth living
Something coming true
Shaking off ignorance
Paid from persistence
Too many trips around
Finally answers found
From an eleventh hour
Stories will not sour
In this new beginning
The days worth living
Unrelenting
Right as things turn it eventually crumbles
An overwhelming life in our love is at last
Just as we dread the bursting of our bubble
This is an opportunity we will not let pass
This is an opportunity we will not let pass
All Leading To One
Plucking strings of luck, pushing eternity forward
Life leaves us breathless and maybe lost for words
Fragile are the cracks of something once shattered
Mend how you are able to, believe in what mattered
Count your blessings before spending that hallowed
All leading to one until the path must be followed
Mindchanic
Nothing hurts more than the inability to heal
Sometimes a memory is all that will stay real
What we cannot see is but half of what exists
Inside of a reality only oneself can only fix
Raining Memories
A time ago I walked the long road
Lost any memories of stories told
Fog so thick I could not be found
Landmarks foreignly placed around
A cold wind carried an empty song
Resonating like some echoing gong
Raining can carry everything away
Submerging footpaths of yesterday
Lost any memories of stories told
Fog so thick I could not be found
Landmarks foreignly placed around
A cold wind carried an empty song
Resonating like some echoing gong
Raining can carry everything away
Submerging footpaths of yesterday
Rhetoric
Politics is not about sides
To use money for free rides
Say what you may never mean
Transparent and very unseen
Chasing only greenest green
Appearing in seenest scenes
What really drives your day
The truth is running astray
You never can really add up
When you only fill your cup
To use money for free rides
Say what you may never mean
Transparent and very unseen
Chasing only greenest green
Appearing in seenest scenes
What really drives your day
The truth is running astray
You never can really add up
When you only fill your cup
Frozen Season
Winter falling as a slow motion rain
Resting on top of everything you see
Frigid landscapes could be mountains
Glowing moonlight casts a frosty sea
Resting on top of everything you see
Frigid landscapes could be mountains
Glowing moonlight casts a frosty sea
Tide Within
#1
Beyond the shadow of doubt
Lies more sinister thought
An inner taking of oneself
From what seems inside out
Pressure too well withheld
And kept deep in some well
Rising up just to drown us
Quell reluctance and excel
#2

Lurks overwhelming thought
Diminishing our confidence

Subtle Loop
As the mind turns, so do the pages of time
Life is a subtle loop with a sudden ending
Breathe in the night as darkness will fade
Dream until sunlight decides to swallow us
Life is a subtle loop with a sudden ending
Breathe in the night as darkness will fade
Dream until sunlight decides to swallow us
Keep in mind that knowledge is only inside
Intelligence is beyond what you just learn
What is not seen surpasses what is visible
Someday, we may be able to do it all again
Faded Line
Looking back at a time
I envisioned you were mine
And now that I can see
I was viewing things blind
Never did I read signs
I had not reasoning to spy
We were sadly drifting
Outside of that faded line
I know to have met you
Was something truly divine
For the life we let go
Never known until we tried
For the life we let go
Never known until we tried
No More Than Odd
Cows cuss under their breath during these winters
Being under a blanket is not warm if made of snow
Fish get expelled from their school playing hooky
Never learning to avoid nibbling on those jiggers
Forests are full of trees with being first issues
Worshiping the sun and boasting with their colors
Fire is always the brightest student in the class
Until water pours over to fizzle out their candle
Spirit Preserved
He did not see her there
She had no time to stop
Fate at the intersection
Two paths forever cross
The ending dealt to each
Gone without last words
Living forever in memory
Now as spirit preserved
She had no time to stop
Fate at the intersection
Two paths forever cross
The ending dealt to each
Gone without last words
Living forever in memory
Now as spirit preserved
Tarnished Stone
Land of lost opportunity
Gone before we ever earn
What else are we to give
When do higher ups learn
We all give ample shares
Making our country great
Losing too many soldiers
Destroying to feel safer
Politicians out-of-touch
They may as well forsake
Faith
For every morning with coffee
As she brings me her sunlight
It's another start by running
To leave and make Dean's List
To leave and make Dean's List
Her life has my heart jogging
While Earth Erodes
Cry to the sky while Earth erodes beneath your feet
Doing anything to strengthen against certain defeatStart from the beginning of something once finished
Never let things brightest to you become diminished
You might not know the cost of what could have been
Blindness may also be that which remains to be seen
A-Z Musically
abstracted bass, cacophonic drums echoing.
fretting guitars, humming in jubilation.
knackish lyrics, melancholy narrated opus.
phrased quartets, rare sonorous texture.
upbeat virtuoso, windy xaphoons yodel Zep.

Where Red Waters Gather
I live in a state shaped by glaciers long ago
In the middle of the heat, we want it to snow
The breadwinner of many homes is what we grow
Here comes another winter, around forty below
Watch out for black ice roads wherever you go
Summer is six months away, yep, don't ya know
Melting snow makes for one big old muddy hole
Changing seasons so often, a backcountry expo
Minnesota fearing Green Bay Packers on a roll
Wilderness found up north, catch it on a pole
Mississippi flowing to its west into the soul
Universities preparing us, system educational
Wisconsinites moving forward on our loam soil
Architectonics with Frank, ingenuity and toil
Hydroelectrical powered first on the Fox flow
Conservationists residing, protecting fallows
Sesquicentennials of livestock, corn in silos
Characteristically unique, breadbasket tempos
Astheneia
She tries to raise her right, hoping to win the good fight
Praying that her daughter is safe and trying to feel right
Never seems considered with the unimportance of everything
If love were items, get a bigger table for what she brings
Her heart and mind are full but inside seeming to disagree
She never asks for anything more than days being pain free
Life was not ever given and she does not expect it will be
But everyone knows life is not meant to be lived in misery
One day she will get to the bottom of what is plaguing her
School and work are diversions in between times to recover
She is open-heartedly candid and singular in a lot of ways
Living her life under the sun looking for any sort of rays
Living her life under the sun looking for any sort of rays
Living Proof
All I need, groceries
This may be my last meal
If living is a gamble
If living is a gamble
You know just how I feel
I have not seen light
For a time span far gone
What is now weakening
Had once built me strong
The empire of nothing
Alone in my own thinking
Never second thoughts
When it could be sinking
Money seemed a friend
We just became too close
What does it buy here
When I become your ghost
Led astray, put under
When I become your ghost
Led astray, put under
Aired out as if some rug
Treated like I became
A pestilent, trivial bug
I never fought enough
Hoping dreams held truth
Imagine how revealing
It is being living proof

Dull Glow
The moon tried to shine like the sun
He rose to provide our evening light
Always wanting to be full and bright
The stars would join him every night
He affected how the ocean tide flows
Met astronauts, saw spacecraft shows
Changing expression with each sunset
He often noticed the colors of Earth
Wondering if his dull glow had worth
Conflagrant
Here we are, start a fire
Blazing love with desires
Make a wish, send it away
Luck only helps out today
Rife with a conflagration when I am close to you
I could stay forever more held with eternal glue
Nothing is coercing me to make me crave you more
Just let us stay together as you are most adored
Blazing love with desires
Make a wish, send it away
Luck only helps out today
Rife with a conflagration when I am close to you
I could stay forever more held with eternal glue
Nothing is coercing me to make me crave you more
Just let us stay together as you are most adored
Lyrophorous
What's music for if nobody can ever hear it
Something's missing in chords that you play
Something's missing in chords that you play
Who's to say it's always best said and done
Nothing's worse than words that will betray
What's in a day if you won't try to live it
It could be that sunrise that goes your way
You'll never find out if you don't discover
All that you can until creation has its say
Valley Sky
Through trees and uphill we attain a peak
Not snowy mountains but alone in blue sky
Its rocky face hiding narrow paths inside
Persevering as landmarks to glacial crawl
Many species inhabiting vast areas within
Waterways run past towns in valleys below
Flight of birds returning at refuge above
Little acknowledgments of nature among us
