Pokémon Linocut Series #1

I took up learning how to make prints with some simple Speedball tool from my local art store.

I have a sometimes simple sense of humor but hell, it’s mine.

Resurrection of a Dead Poet

Woah, I’m alive. But I let the blog die for four months. Good thing I remembered this Phoenix Down.

I’ll make a follow up post soon with some new art I made.

Poetry Drought

Hello Once More,

This was a fun week or so; my poems were able to reach out around the world and were read by a decent amount of users (if WordPress analytics are to be believed), and I got a couple of followers from it.

However, my ploy for easy content has dried up, I’m out of older poems. So marks the end of the flood. I hope you enjoyed it.

I’ll be working on some art pieces and writing some new poems soon, but they be released as they come rather than a set schedule.

Thank you for all the fish, see you again.

“write something”

Think on the fly
	Quick write something
		Something in the New Yorker
			Something that sells
				Sell it and buy a new car
					A new house, a new wife,
						A new dog, a new kid
					Let it go to your head
				Think you’re immortal
			Realize that those deadlines are deafening
		Find something to help
	Develop an addiction to psychostimulants
Smack your wife in a drunken stupor.
File for a divorce 
	Lose everything you did not know you owned
		Little Lisa wants to know where is momma going
			Ignore it and go to more parties
				Drink more and more
					More and more
						The needle doesn’t hurt every time
					Crash your car and snap your spine.
				Appear in every news outlet
			Quick this moment is never coming again
		Write something that sells
	Doesn’t have to be good just
Think on the fly.

“I Am A Poet”

I Am A Poet

Or at least I

Think so.

It’s something to do

When I’m alone here

At school.

I do it when

I can’t find a

Good book.

I type it out

With keys made of

Cheap plastic.

I write them down

With quills funded

By my tuition checks.

I let myself get

Fat since I can’t

Leave my

Typewriter’s side, the poems

Hemorrhage out when I’m

Here alone.

Class Taker

I take classes,

Although most of them

Were empty and unnecessary.

Two and half hours of guitar,

Four years of drawing,

Sixteen years of reading,

Twenty years of thinking.

From 6 a.m. till sunset

I take classes, with a teacher

Or by myself.

Sometimes I scare my

Family, they don’t understand.

And neither do I.

It’s something to do;

Because I’m scared,

That the will isn’t real.

Nightwalker

I am a nightwalker,

From sunset till 4 A.M.

I make my rounds

And see the lights,

And drink my coffee,

And smoke my cigarette.

My legs cramp up all the time…

Once I walked 22 miles over

2 days by accident.

Sometimes I scare the homeless

And the veterans

And the rabid dogs,

Though I do not mean to.

Anything to kill time,

Till the will

To write

Returns.

A to Z

I ADORE you

You BAIT my heart

You CAPTURE my favor

I DOTE you more than you’ll ever know

I hope my words ECHO in your heart

I’m FANATICAL for every angle of your body

I’m willing to GAMBLE everything for a chance with you

I would deny a whole HAREM just to have you

I IDOLIZE you in every aspect

I am JEALOUS for your affection

You KINDLE my love

I LOVE you with all my LEV

You are MAGICAL to me

Your love is my NARCOTICS

My love for you just might be OBSCENE

I will be your personal PALADIN

My heart RACE at your sight

I just want to SATISFY your every need

You TAKE my heart

I wish you UNDERSTAND how much I love you

Please do not make me a loveless VAGRANT

I WELCOME you at every sight

I wish to be with you for every XMAS from now on

You are my entire ZEITGEIST

“Nietzche Beat Ya!”

Nietzsche Beat Ya!

To become the Antichrist,

Got to take Machiavelli’s advice.

Prepare to be Superman,

Beyond Good and Evil man.

Bring out the Gay Science;

Gonna say Got Icht Dot.

Become strong; like an Ubermensch.

But you can’t, you’re weak.

You’re Human, All Too Human.

Oh well; Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
