headline poetry

This blog began as an excursion to reintroduce myself to both “the news,“ which I abandoned nearly 2 years ago, and with creative writing, unvisited for over 10 years. The experiment returned me to writing, and convinced me to remain inattendant to the distractions of “the news”. Now my poems don’t refer to the reported doings of the world, but rather, to my own life’s headlines, the news worthy stuff in my direct, personal and unmediated world. See 9/11/06 for more.

No more promises 2 (quatrain in iambic pentameter)

I gave you my last sword and found you out
our accidents ready to sneak among
I gave you my word in some foreign tongue
secretly on the take, in my last bout
