My Poetry

I started this blog so I could neatly archive my work. You should find my poetry very diverse. I would like to believe there is something here for almost everyone.

It was only recently that I became interested in poetry. I started taking care of my mother after she suffered a stroke and we began writing stories and poems together. It has been very therapeutic for us both.

This isn't a complete collection of my poetry, my first poems I self published under the moniker, A Pet Banana Production. The first self published book, "A Pet Banana" is a rhyme/story about colors and the second is a collection of poetry I created with my mother titled, "An Elephant is On My House." I hope you enjoy my writing and I would love a visit to my author page!
Thanks!

Condemn

Thinking and pondering, lest one is least
Minds shifting toward, fighting, delighting,
What you say, what you say, you snappy, sappy belittled beast?

“condemnant quod non intellegunt”

Scratching the surface, dwelling inside, picking and prattling,
Curious crafting words of disdain, wanting more
From something not, you don’t believe? Scorn it now, Lift it and start rattling!
Prattling and rattling what you adore!

“condemnant quod non intellegunt”

Demons rhyming, writhing, chiming, slapping,
Down, what I love most, sleeping through my fears,
What have I to boast? What have I! Let me know, my mind is rapping!
Not I, said you, between your dirty leers……

Piss
