There is a blank spot on the map A state of cognitive dissonance Snaked with roads that lead To illusions of grandeur Where pride and hubris Have lost contact with reality And there is a deficiency of humility #poetry #micropoetry #poetrysky #writing #writingsky #whatswrongwiththeworld

Groping in the dark Searching for a light Hands out stretched Trying to touch what isn’t there Nothingness It closes in The only sound is The beating of your heart The beating slows Until it finally stops Then nothing Welcome to The Void #poetry #poetrysky #micropoetry #writing #writingsky

An endeavor to negotiate Betwixt belligerent parties To come to an accord For enduring peace and A novel modus vivendi #poetry #poetrysky #micropoetry #writing #writingsky

An image idealized and heroic With unquestioning flattery and praise Engineering exaggeration while Manipulating spectacles deificate The extravagant ideological demands of the self-proclaimed demagogue #poetry #poetrysky #micropoetry #writing #wringsky

Cold terror Stalks the streets Innocents disappear Speaking the truth Can be fatal While others hide Behind barricades Waiting for the spring And the ICE to break #poetry #poetrysky #micropoetry #writing #writingsky

Working on my 2nd book of poetry. I am SO frustrated with editing and formatting. I could scream. Haven't yet, but I have been swearing. I screwed up a ton with the first book and I'm trying to do better with this one. Any tips or advice would be great. #poetry #writing #writingsky #poetrysky

Dreams of another time and another place Keep me awake at night #poetry #poetrysky #micropoetry #writing #writingsky
