Dusk sky, pink and green, bright backlit contrails streaking the Jasperware light; above the ridge line, high clouds steal in from the west, predicting fine rain; grey morning drizzle which drips from oaks and maples, waking the still brook. this paints a beautiful picture Parker thank you for sharing it! 4 Link to comment

I love it. I picture everything vividly. There's a spring-like feel to the air, even though it's only January. This captures that feeling for me. 2 1 Link to comment

Don't know why, but I got a vision of a grungy urban twillight in a post-rain reveal... An indifferent sensation. Love it. 1 Link to comment

Popular Post Parker Owens Posted January 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2018 Every time I post a new science poem, one can hope that the new one just has to be more intelligible than the last....but so far.... Oh, well. You decide. Here it is. https://www.gayauthors.org/story/parker-owens/disasters-delights-and-other-detours/17 6 Link to comment
Popular Post Defiance19 Posted January 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2018 Sometimes I come across these interesting articles, (to me at least) that I want to share hoping someone else will think it interesting too.

Mikiesboy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 i was invited to write another poem with @MacGreg. Doing these is a challenge. A theme is chosen and then we each can see only the last line of each other's previous stanza. So far each poem has been good and @MacGreg put them together with no edits. The latest of these is here: Sins of Our Fathers. I hope you'll read it and let us know what you think. 2 2 Link to comment

Popular Post AC Benus Posted February 4, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) I've been typing up my old poetry again and feeling depressed. I had to skip ahead to when I was 21. This one I wrote soon after coming out. Hope you like it. Something quieter in the brain Speaks of something gentler in the heart, Which shouts of something stronger in The soul. I know the answers not at all, But now, I know what question to ask. Something sweeter in the smile Speaks of something kinder in the look Which yells of something greater in The soul. Edited February 4, 2018 by AC Benus 7 Link to comment
