Solemn Sunday morning forms bent for pleading on God knees, all for grace +++++vertical aimless. Head rest on hands, elbows dimple sheets mopping up the dust with your skyway need.

Hello, riverman. Thanks for posting your poem. Do you use to write regularly? If so, you might want to post your works in the Stories & Poetry Section here.

Hey, no problem riverman. Some post them in both; there on the stories & poetry board and we have one where they sometimes linked to or posted some of theirs in ( here, if you're interested in reading).

On the streets and in the doorways I see them ducking out of view Are you really there~ in my dreams of that night under the yellow moonlight reading that paper disguised as the Sun
Now I hear the places ~ where silence used to be The engines are taking over~ silence is not pleased Hostile droning culpability.
___I mainly like the second part of this

We in front of screens , red sun signs Easter face island eyes Hoping for the rising creations firefly.
Baby Einstein's laughing they never have the time calculate eternity with their shoes untied

The angels descend Top shelf life
One house, four S.U.V's Top shelf life
Cell phone glued to your face Top shelf , empty shell.
It's not that I care I'm only surrounded
You all live so well
I'm no mentalist , but I can see the tree's
The flowers and I choking on your stinking S.U.V.
Cell phone glued to your face I wish you would meet the tree
Head On

I became lost in a desert for a lifetime I could find no shade Sun sickened by poison haze.
I looked to my left , there I saw a Fish, and it could barely breath.
What are you doing here I ask , there's no water here and you are a fish So are you he told me, and I could barely breath.
So long I have gone with nothing to sustain me The Son has called me, will I ever listen, turn around and swim

This one is about a very current topic...
Power of one , Your arm & me your uncle's easy enemy
One pre teen prophecy God's early dawn One world , to rush too soon
The proof is in the trees or it's paper fancy
it's a green scheme, the wise men dance in the garden they stay off the street , they all agree, We are the actors in their Dream

I would love to publish something, I'm not really sure how to go about it. Any advice you might have would be great!

I posted this one in the poetry forum but for continuity , here too..
A cedar tree empire standing tall beside garage clutter remains
Remnants of a Rembrandt life wished lived The Rats riegn they find a wrapped nemesis Which leaves them free ~ to cast their shadows over the never was
The mountain never seemed so high at the base they scurry to begin
They will bring the fresh beasts~ usher them in smiling with eyes a wide plunder they witness all of sin Yellow teeth burrow beneath karmic skin.

I need a vacation!
Away from sirens and engines ~ all silence invaded away from time itself it's ticking banter eating my eyes like cancer

You're good, riverman. My favorite is the one "about a very current topic". For being published... I guess the trick is to make your works circulate, to submit them to magazines that plublish writings (the first one that pops in my head is the Reader's Digest), places where "talent hunters" look, editors... I heard that provided some money you can publish yourself, but I don't know how/where to do that... And there's always the net that's a privileged door on the world, too, in any case.
