The poet wants to dream dreams,
and to share with others
what such things bring
To write with zeal that’s always
fresh as spring

Word Portrait: White Wolf
This is a “word portrait”,
is the best way I can describe it,
Envision in your mind,
A wolf with snow white fur
& flaming red orange eyes,
shining so bright
Stalking, walking,
along a river side
in the dead of night

New Untitled
When wolves come baying,
howling at the door
soldiers they prepare for war

Looking For Recommendations
Everyone who writes poetry ought to read it, so I thought I’d ask my readers here if they have any recommendations in regards to other poets I should read. I’m not overly picky as to the subgenre of the poetry (romantic poetry,musical poetry, autobiographical poetry, etc.) just as long as it’s interesting & inspirational.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Vying For Victory
There’s so much about him that’s confusing
even sometimes seemingly contradictory,
there’s multiple sides to him
always warring & wrestling
each side trying, vying for victory
He’s a complicated man, ever growing
ever changing,
There are things that he is now
& there are things that he wants to be

Poet’s Treasure
He’s having the best of times
spinning wild rhymes
For family, friends, and strangers alike
dropping poetry lines on a dime
They come so easily to his mind
when he’s gone he’ll leave his words behind
Like treasure for people to find

I Don’t Need Much (Alt: That’s Enough)
She was married in a small town,
all her friends around,
at the reception she was laughing,
dancing til they shut it down
Her wedding was beautiful,
even though, it was nothing fancy
She told her husband:
“Oh I don’t need much
as long as we have faith & I’ve got your love,
that’s enough”

recent lyrics/poetry I wrote
Single Red Rose
Taking a walk at dawn,
with a walking cane, & his fedora on
Dressed in black from head to toe
Except attached to his pocket, a single red rose
He’s taking it down the street
To the woman who makes his heart skip a beat

Flood
A Pennsylvania town, serene
but then a flood washes through
like a disaster movie scene
I’ve heard the story,
Though I wasn’t there that day,
A dam exploded, so people say
Over 2,000 people washed away
By:J.N.R Dutton
Dear Ones
Fellow writers of stories & poetry,
Dear ones, my loves, if you please,
bleed your words & set them free
Let them flow into the heart
& mind of me
I will always be willing to read
As long as your passion I can see
