BIPOLAR FRAGMENTS

 

The Art of Poetry

I've been told by many

The art of poetry's dead

I believe it's alive on

Pages they haven't read

(stanley victor paskavich, bipolar, writer)

 

Please Dear Reader

Please dear reader read this page

It's one you haven't read

And tell me if my poetry's

Alive or is it dead?

(don matthews, bipolar, writer)

 

Soldier Freddy

Soldier Freddy
Was never ready,
But Soldier Neddy,
Unlike Freddy
Was always ready
And steady.

That's why,
When soldier Neddy
Is-outside-Buckingham-Palace-on-guard-in-the-pouring-wind-and-rain-being-steady-and-ready,
Freddie-
Is home in beddy

Slowly But Surely

Slowly but surely

I will write myself

Into a writer worth writing about

And listening to

Slowly, but surely

(don matthews, bipolar, writer)
