As I’m not a member, I have to post poems here

Thank you so much for sharing your work here—it’s always inspiring to see poets put their voice out into the world, even without formal membership. Creativity should never be limited by barriers, and your willingness to share is a testament to your passion.

If you’re ever thinking about taking your poetry further, you might want to explore book publishing services tailored for poets. Many of them offer affordable packages and even help with formatting and distribution, making it possible to publish a poetry collection independently. It’s a great way to give your work a broader platform, especially if joining spaces like this one isn’t an option right now.

Looking forward to reading your pieces—please keep posting!

Here is what I call a linked Lune. I have taken the last line of the first lune as the beginning line of the second, and it worked. Adam posted a short on Youtube about the Lune, and i just experimented with it to see what could be done. This is my first attempt at both a Lune and my rendition of it.

Claims of Common Sense

We find ourselves here

in moments

we don’t understand

how it is

things happen so fast

insofar

as particulars

resonate

inspiring others

advocate

certain ideals

as harbored

secrets that might be

something new,

discovered,

or found to be lost

among things

we take for granted,

given we’re

gullible creatures

who don’t have

proper coping skills,

by instinct,

but possess some skills

learned early,

whether that’s in vogue,

has bearing,

is applicable,

or might find

there are instances

where sense claims

ownership of all

A Prophet’s View

A lumiere traverses velvet—

sky a-shimmer in magic molt,

a fabrication cemented in a pastiche

of petrified porcupines, perhaps,

but not without Anglified spirits.

It’s forgotten us, or we it, as has been

the carte-blanche of our assignations.

Whatever the soul-bending hoopla,

there never was a more splendiferous

meme in which to regard the orb.
