writers inseine

ride on twenty-four
“the other writers group” at shakespeare&company to explore

arretez at quai de montebello
sync stroll to saturday seine bustle cello

get into groove
just below bookstore roof
over 30 souls beating in song

share your prose or poem, there is no right or wrong
only for 2 hours, like minds long and belong

diary of au pair in despair
disappointing kodak click heart tear
disillusioned dad driven to detect paper thief
a deprived daughter bonding relief
reading on cocks
characters anonymous rocks
moderator bruce’s “good bone structure” mocks last seconds of frocks

we have 5 minutes to wrap up
for last read, i picked last to sup

what’s a life?

we came from no where and now here
then we disappear

so many permutations, expectations
vexations punctuated by elations

it’s up to each of us to author our life story
be it gory glory
to choose or snooze
pick our noose
or hang loose
decide what pace and place to cruise
how to heal life’s bruise

this much i know you reap what you sow
what and how you think become your glow
from inside out becomes the show

one life to live
what will you take, what will you give
what tapestry will you weave
in the time allotted, whether long or brief

it helps to have a spiritual compass
to paint your life canvas
find your authentic self to nurse
then immerse

free your nib
let it rip

scribe your verse

in mood for moody blues
as i scribe these hues
isn’t life strange
a turn of the page
can read like before
can we ask for more?
each day passes by
how hard man will try?


the seine will not wait
