This Writing Tongue by pd lyons


nebulous shapes

so no random design

altering this world

parchment tattooed

often at pain

rightfully feared by those righteous  

   like twin fishes 

   one dark one fair

   sucker mouths

   big eyes blue brown bulging

   almost touching glistening lashes

   gladly met a sea of humanity

   gladly back joining in their bed

   drown in their ocean

 

Poem for All Seasons by pd lyons

trees

Zone

Propped up Best I can

Most uncomfortable ever bed

Crow sounds Silver sun shadows the page

All it takes to ease the ache

The largeness of an open window

Dissolves all imposed restrictions

And what would comfort done?

A sleep til noon then what?

Thank You & best Wishes for the New Year


Sometimes in this writing life
people take the time to listen, read
and let me know they did
sometimes even write a few words in response ~
As writing is by its nature a predominately isolation occupation
I just wanted to express sincere gratitude to each and every one who in one way or another participated with PD Lyons Explorations.

With best wishes to you all for a very happy, healthy & safe New Year!
Cheers!

Sometime in this Writing Life – Sitting at the Picnic Table I Made or Rather Assembled, Ruff – by PD Lyons


 

Jefferson Airplane Volunteers  through the windows

Wide open

Cranked up.

Cohiba burning fine.

Smoke drifts fat across a still September

Evening sun cast shadows

Dog tearing up an old sock for fun

skids upon the driveway gravel.

I’m even able to do

smoke rings

while i write

magenta letters

white  loose blue line paper

relieved from all misery of updated software.

This, not anything else is

Why.

Sometimes in Writing Life (2), by pd Lyons


one of the many promises one makes to oneself regarding the life of writing. probably 2012 or so –

had to cut back on the computer

it had got pretty bad

hours of my life a day sucked away

got nothing done

got neck aches wrist aches

contacts dried out fell like glass.

from now on once a week.

maybe Mondays.

~

got dressed

drove into town

picked up a case of Lebanese red

two bottles Tyrconnell 

litre of un-oaked Chardonnay for cooking

stack of legal sized pads,

2 pounds Italian coffee.

it was Tuesday

&

liberation to celebrate.
