What is Poetry? To me, it is music without a synthesizer, but equally delicious to the ears and mind was an old expression but now a new hobby will be created by graceful hands and tasteful hearts has been retained thoughts, burst like mint bubbles
can be lyrics to a song never published or sampled could be new art, Da Vinci’s undead pursuit should be inspiring, a star searing sight might be symbols for those treasure hunters may be simple for those simple-minded is being a pastime for those enjoying free time but it is not dead it is just dormant, inside our pens.

Full of the promising young, and the promised old
This kaleidoscope-like urban cityscape
Stuttering in broken circles of light
Towers zig-zagging
Across the geared, cyan skyline
No being cynical
Expanding borders
Until all sides are hypotenuses
But it’s your life, don’t make it a brutal brawl
Cybernetic world,
The clash of (common) creeds,
Is all I need to make sure that
There is not only me
Everyone’s values are today’s splendid, Splenda society
Making life sweet
It’s so wonderful--
To be you and me
