- IF ONLY WORDS COULD TELLIn Poetry·February 5, 2024I have no arrows in my quiver, But only words. While words can wound, heal, Soothe, frighten, cajole, And a thousand things more, Words cannot tell the longing Which rests cold and unrelenting In my heart. If only words could tell How much light has left my life, How much pleasure has gone From each day, Then I would be the king of words, But, A pauper when it comes To peace and love. So, like a hunter without his arrows, I must seek the light and pleasure, Without a way to find them, Or to tell, The keeper of that light and pleasure, What they meant to me, And still mean, Even as I languish, Unable to speak and break the spell. If only words could tell, And hearts could hear. • Donovan Baldwin113
- A poem/song thing :)In General Discussion·February 2, 2024Can’t bust a rhyme No matter how I try Focused on the climb 3 miles up- total high What do I find? A rhythm in the breese Guitar riff in the stream Drums in the Earth’s heart-beat A funky bass in the sunbeams Leaving me to sing. Life’s syncing frequencies Thanks for the read! Kerry~315

- Trigger Warning...In General DiscussionFebruary 2, 2024Opinion: I think it's a judgment call, and depends on the work, the anticipated audience, and the author. Obviously, I grew up in an era without "triggers"... sure, they existed, but, the general public browsing through the library was not aware of such things. Personally, I never had a "trigger" until an event occurred when I was 40 years old. Although being taken back to that moment CAN shake me and color my thoughts for a while, I'm one of those who has moved on from the event and even a "trigger" is, to me, a nuisance and not much more. I don't like being reminded of it, or having those feelings return, but, it is a fact of life that they do, and will. Still there are some who are affected a lot more than I am. So, I am not qualified to say do or do not, but, I still believe it's a judgment call, and there's probably not a right or wrong to it.11

- FeelingsIn Poetry·January 28, 2024Sticky like sap Spilling from a broken branch Turning dark when exposed Hardening in sunlight Prickly and hard to touch Drawing blood Woundied fingers typing Each touch hurts Poet’s skin is scarred With slimy trails of feelings And piercings from Penetrating jabs In and out, like a mouse Peeking from its shelter Uncertain, timid to reveal One’s core laid bare Conversely, warm and sweet Caressed in satisfaction Scratching onto a page Feelings freed from heart Tasty as rich chocolate Topped with sweet cream Savoring each mouthful Poured to be consumed by you229

- WORDS SO BARE AND RAWIn Poetry·January 28, 2024Some readers gasp in awe At words so bare and raw The presentation daring As if poet was not caring, To be considered rude For appearing nude, But, to put the truth out there, The poet must be bare. Drop pretense like scattered clothing, Despite society's loathing. For, if the truth be told, Words must be bare and bold, It is the poet's duty, This art of exposing beauty. • Donovan Baldwin112

- ATAVISTIn Poetry·January 27, 2024What remnants of some rustic, Rural soul remains in me, That I, Poet, Lover of gentility, Life and beauty, And love itself, Am stirred by steel, Honed and handled... By wood or horn, Swept with urge to take up My knife, Black powder rifle, And be off... Into the woods to be Outdoorsman of old, Mountain man in hide and fur, At home in low forest, High meadow, Beneath the hot sun, Frigid in ice and snow, Glorying in the deadly power Of blade and gun, And himself? • Donovan Baldwin113
