Props to Mr. Jonathan Robin

Justified genius whose
Reach in and around
Omniana to capture muse
Beats every odd.
Intellect undefined-
Necessitates more than mere nod!

(Attempted simple acrostic - JROBIN)

Hazel Eyes

When you are near
The moon is more clear
The stars seem to sing
Even the clouds ring

And with your hazel eyes
You look so wise
You see through me
You say I'm crazy

But if you leave
The moon will recede
The stars no longer sing
The clouds won't even ring

There'll be no hazel eyes
To brighten up my skies
I'll be left alone with me
And, without you, go crazy.

My Writing Process

No rhyme, no rhythm, no reason;
No song for a special season;
No cause against which to rage;
Just wandering words down the page.
Unsteady hand on uneven line,
Tired body gives way to dull mind.

Insane irony of this process
Where much gives way to far less;
Where inspiration only conspires,
Ventures out during forgetful fires,
To leave me scavenging in cinders
Of would-be masterpieces and wonders.
