a full bloom

by jhon baker

the flowers are yours.

>

wrapped bloom

naked,

plucked ripe,

full,

stripped.

>

to be virginal

>

and honeyed

in tactile, close

.  .  eye’d

.  .  sensations

.  .  and warm, full

inhalations,

pressing close

>

between your breasts.

I stayed up late for this one last night and I am not sure it was worth it. but there it is. – Jhon

A good day for a few links

by jhon baker

One of the most loving things I have ever read

take it to the pamphlets and soon Guerilla pamphlets #15 are both VERY good bets

Take it to the streets poetry – many good links here for many good volumes

Get a subscription here if you can

Always a good site

Newer press but they accept some excellent work

keep checking this store for when it opens – if you want something you’ll have to beat me to it!

another of his links

good reading in general

 

okay – that’s enough for today –

but lastly – it’s older than most being posted here lately but I like it.

 

dying roses are not broken promises

 

literal or not

we bled on pages

and pages and

pages of uncertain poetry.

women bleed with efficiency.

 

dying roses are not

broken promises as

are crumbling petals

no longer red.

 

– Hoc Scripsi

 

okay – I’m adding one today – don’t be a bully – this isn’t poetry, it’s about bullying and a very very deeply affecting story beginning on sept 24th post – read though from there to the most current – you won’t regret it and I wept openly.

tired today

by jhon baker

I am so tired today, phase one of writing room finished – music room finished…

 

and here I am, mic in hand, flinging myself through the air and rapidly descending toward the sidewalks and one way streets of our beloved downtown Elgin, Il.

NC

by jhon baker

Holiday Inn

 

lights steady, turned on

at next doors busy restaurant

making midnight an artificial dawn

 

transients sleeping or trying

back turned while

we, looking out hotel window,

eyes wide

in uncomfortable bed

used by thousands.
