Favorite Quote:
"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." -Ernest Hemingway


In the absence of real thunder
he makes his own:
painted thoughts wander
on a crowded canvas
but his empty
eyes reflect only light.
He wants to speak but what
comes out is song,
electric rain that dances
like clouds do on humid days
with the sun.
He speaks
and says “Where has my
Youth gone” and the sun says
“One day you will reach
the stars.”


The author's comments:
This sounds rather like a nonsense poem, but I feel as though it carries some sort of meaning.
