The Humble Poet
This poem is dedicated to a dear friend and fellow Vocal creator, Mike Singleton - Mikeydred. He is a truly humble poet, thus the title, and has an expansive and highly expressive portfolio of poetry and stories. The intense rawness in the way he creates his craft has a very palpable intimacy that is inspirational and full of heart. I have collaborated with Mike so far on two poems, and I feel his talent and highly mature perspective on poetry has helped me grow as a writer. He is my brother from another mother, as I so often tell him! Here is my take on a sonnet, hopefully it is correct!

Memories
Faded days of youth flicker like a silent movie Memories weakened from replays, over and over Sanguine, happy times — wild swimming

Sic Transit Gloria
It must be morning The darkness must’ve fled For I was dreaming dreams But now they’ve disappeared A victim of the light

Donna, I Love You
I stepped from out the open door Into my hallway, dark and long, Then down the way of the pitch staircase, Lantern in hand, I hummed a song.

I am not a poet My brain does not work in rhyme Very rarely am I inspired to write a poem So many do it so much better than I

Flyover
Looking over the horizon Glide toward a destination linked up like Verizon Finding true shape in focus threw view That set the tone for so many to pursue

Flavors of home
Revisiting Memories of my first home once, Not suppressed, But no longer prominent Within my hippocampus, Bring me sepia summers

Generational Curses
For a long time my home was haunted. My bones, I mean, were haunted. Inside of my bones drips the story of my great grandfather, a ghost of a man I never met.

Colorado
There’s a fine line between surrender and submersion while gliding through the bluest of skies. The elevation from sea level to the empty space above the clouds slips with the slow descent into the green valley between the slate grey and blue mountains, confusing the experience of being high.
