Arthur C. Clarke Covers #1

Another fellow scientist-turned-author...Arthur C. Clarke.  While I do own many of his titles and covers (there are a multitude), I have not really dived into most of his works.  Let me know if you have an opinion of which titles or series I should start with.  Cheers!

harmonium of chaos - original poem

harmonium of chaos

harmonious

with the torn tissue

and fallen

purple petals

minty green leaves

gone stale

brown and crispy

in the flares

of the open carried sun

wholly and lawfully

toying

with the contrast knob

on the orderly

professional panel

producing scores

of celestial beats

titrated in

accordingly

and carefully slow

to find the key

isoelectric pocket

where all ions are used

kept raw

and dynamic

harbored in

a harmonium

of chaos

spite writes - original poem

spite writes

spite writes

for the harbored anger

the demonic spites

with bloodthirst

to feverishly write

and warn the world

of their anguish

held too tight

sewn on too tautly

to their armored vests

in bad attitude spikes

and fabricated capes

protecting them

from the shame

of those around them

the shame of those who walk

with their head

dropping at their feet

walking a straight line

towards a destitute

and grimy bug infested

down bad bum ass life

under a decrepit shed

or a bridge in Hamilton

fuck those demon sprites

who write with such spite

and hobo spit

floating on whisky tears

dried on the Cleveland sidewalk

let's smash the dinner table

and break some ceramic plates

with your new fashion icon

swiss army boots

your identity is tied

to a faceless demon

lacking fame

or guts or glory

only shitty millennium loops

of trauma pain and fear

I've long since started

into their blurry eyes

fuck that... I'm out

fornicating Floridians - original poem

fornicating Floridians

fornicating Floridians

with wildwood eyes

glinting transiently 

behind the cat tails

and overgrown lawns

feel free Floridians

to hide behind

your citrus barricades

and wooden gateways

retire tirelessly

on the big toe of America

sinking into 

the Atlantic swells

salinating your delusions 

of hierarchy

and the transfer 

of formidable knowledge

cacodemonomania - original poem

cacodemonomania

I might have

cacodemonomania...

did I get it

from eating chocolate?

from my daily

coffee regimen?

Leave me a comment

bel-o-oa-

ahhh!

Andrew Neiderman Covers #1

An entire catalog of spooky covers comes from the mind of Andrew Neiderman.  I am hoping to dive into more of his work in recent months after I finish my summer reading list and prepare for autumn. 

fantasies - original poem

fantasies

real life fantasies

tend to yield

real time tragedies

a balancing

pendulum

teeter totter

on sinking sands

standing

in an hourglass bowl

molded craftfully

to match the shape

of your organic

borrowed form
