I’m jamming to my playlist
People like Church, Corbett & Cash
They put their heart & soul into it all
They wouldn’t settle for trash
I love them for
The trails that they blazed
the blood, the sweat & tears they gave
the songs they wrote & sang
I’ll forever thank them for that
They are the coolest cats

Successfully got my ISP switched over, glad to be back you all!
I hope life’s been treating you all well
I’d love to gather w/my readers
& sit for a spell, just chilling out
Listening to any stories you may
have to tell
As for me, I got a new book of poetry
for my anniversary, it’s a pretty neat read
You’d know the poet if I wrote his name
His work’s been around for ages
It can be pretty inspiring
Watching a fellow poet bleed their feelings out
onto reams & reams of pages
By: J.N.R Dutton
There are a million things
that could inspire a poetic line,
like people out swimming,
enjoying sunshine
or a question as simple as:
Have you ever caught the wind
whistling a melody
through northern pines?
I don’t know your answer, but I’ll give mine,
I have, and to me, it sounds stunningly fine
By: J.N.R Dutton
Whether you choose to write
in free verse all the time
or are more into rhyme
I just advise
Use your talents wisely
Nurture them so they can grow
Tell the stories you know
and express the soul
that’s inside
By: J.N.R Dutton
It’s amazing what some poets
can do when they’re dissed
Instead of having a tantrum
& getting all pissed
when somebody talks bad
about them they just collect
those hits, writing about it
& use it to their benefit
By: J.N.R Dutton
There’s a poet I know of
whose every verse is fire
meaning it always
packs a punch full of power
there’s never a wasted word
& I love & admire
that, it inspires me
Drives me forward
By: J.N.R Dutton
Write what you feel, what you see,
say what needs to be said,
before you go on to eternity
You don’t want to be
on your deathbed
with regrets, asking in your final Earthly hour:
“Could I have been better, was I too much of a coward?”
By: J.N.R Dutton
It’s true that pain makes good art,
It gives us a release some days
but not all art has to be about pain
It’s time that more of us realize that again
Otherwise, we’ll only create
when our lives are circling the drain,
and constantly creating from that dark place
may be enough to drive a person insane
By:J.N.R Dutton
Rip up the old pages
of your yesterdays
start a chapter fresh & new
Write something deep
that means something to you
Figure out what’s in your heart
find your calling, and see it through
By:J.N.R Dutton
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
