How the Greats Feel: Part 3
Edgar Allen Poe
The Raven, of course, rolls his eyes impatiently
You feel goosebumps crawling up your sleeves
A haunting so familiar you grin
W. B. Yeats
Jon boat tosses t’n’fro the salty zeal of sea
His words slap aboard you drink’m in w’ease
A thirst for fresh stories unquenchable
Virginia Woolf
Woman blazes past her time and kitchen sink
You crave...

How the Greats Feel: Part 2
William Shakespeare
Cold theater braces for a cliche thespian
Yet his every word is soft cotton on your skin
A bouquet of passion, puckishness and verse
Sylvia Plath
Bell jar sticky with fingerprints and sand
A whipping wind tips over your afternoon plans
Her manic notes on napkins now prolific works
Maya Angelou
Thunderous megaphone silences the crowd

Pseudonyms
I use pseudonyms
because I like to,
because I want to,
because I can!
It’s one of the few things
I feel in total control of
in this chaotic world.
I like the sound
of my pseudonyms,
they fit in with famous
pen names like
Eliot, Bell,
Orwell, Wilder,
Voltaire, Vautaw...
See, besides the obvious
can you tell
which ones are me?
Sometimes I write
anonymously...
