She was a victim of the vicious rumor mill
They called her every filthy name in the book
Until one day, her life she took,
and her bullies, they tried to get off the hook
but everybody knew it was b/c of them
her blood was spilled

Sorrows
An emaciated looking man of sorrows
set silently to mourn
the death of his darling bride,
In her loss, his greatest grief was born
She had been his constant companion
For a mere six years,
and for their many lost tomorrows
He wept the bitterest of tears
By: J.N.R Dutton
Inspired by the life & pain of a fellow poet,
whose wife of merely 6 years contracted & died of a lung ailment.
Forward
Poet dropping rhymes to a page one more time
Spilling out the things on his mind
He wants the writing to keep being a passion not a grind
He’s written forever, or so it seems to him
In the early days his passion was filled to the brim
& overflowing, so many stories & experiences were
driving him onward, but now he’s not sure
How to keep going forward anymore
By:J.N.R Dutton
Apologies
My notifications are messing up again, I apologize for that.
Blossom
In the corner of a restaurant he’d been to
a hundred times before
He sat munching on his meal
when she walked in the door
He had no way of knowing then,
she’d change his life for sure
Neither one was looking for
Love or romance
but both came along anyway,
when these two gave it the chance
Amazing what can blossom,
under the right circumstance
By:J.N.R Dutton
Change
Time is fleeting,
but if your heart is still beating
You have a chance, an opportunity,
to make a difference in society
to be the change you want to see

Just So You Know
If someone comes to my
pages having a fit
I won’t tolerate it,
It’s like getting up in my face
& deciding to spit
If you want to have a civilized
or at least sane conversation
That my friend is a different situation
By:J.N.R Dutton
Beautiful
Have you ever read a poem that sent a shock right through you?
So perfectly written, not a word or rhyme out of place, something so beautiful it was like it leapt right off the page?
I did today, and it put a smile on my face
By:J.N.R Dutton
Steve
My buddy Steve, he’s got some scars
Well hidden, but still they are
there
It really breaks my heart,
some of the things he’s shared w/me
He didn’t grow up in the most affectionate family
but thankfully, he learned from that
What not to be, and he’s always
been great to me
it’s a wonder he made it
through his youth with his sanity
By:J.N.R Dutton
Family
My black friends
& white & Asian too,
and even those who dress in blue
This is a shout out to all of you
Thank you for not bowing to lunacy
Thank you for living with Love & integrity
& treating each other like family
Regardless of differences that there may be
By:J.N.R Dutton
