The Writing Room

Words by JBF Words by themselves innocuous Words carelessly arranged and uttered Enemies create Apologies tendered Meet with distaste ‘I was not upset.’ ‘What gave you that idea?’ Words that excavate Words that discomfort inflate Words that damn The lie that is your life. Words that uncover your guile To your unwilling eyes. Silence, silence of discord Hang over our desires and dreams Like a rain cloud hovering Over saturated streams. Silence, screaming for redress Wishing that words were left at rest Before you go, spend a few minutes to browse the blog, subscribe to get the latest posts as soon as they are published and do read some of my  poems .

From gloom to bloom by JBF Blooms glow out from gloom Boys hopscotch from door to room  Dogs growl, cock crows, moms frown Pop, Pop, Pop, Glocks boom.                                            Horror’s tools to doom fools Who follow crooks Who scorn good books To look cool. Mom, hollow from sorrow Howls. Rocks, too. To know Bobby got shot By fool’s shots. Pop mops hot brows Too strong to howl Holds on to jowl Sorrow grows Tomorrow fools drop Tomorrow glocks stop Tomorrow no goons Tomorrow blooms soon Before you go, spend a few minutes to browse the blog, subscribe to get the latest posts as soon as they are published and do read some of my  poems .
