3 short poems by David M Katz ©

Dichotomy Transcend Dense©

Do poets cease being artists
When they write trash
Like this.

Bad Breath Haiku©

This Poem has bad breath.
I don't use any mouthwash.
Smell these stupid words.

Blank Haiku©

Tried to write a pome.
No great ideas, this time.
Must be just a pome.

You may revoke my poetic license if you don't like my spelling.

Robert~

you write such honest poems :-)

The End of The Day

In the waning deathpale daylight,
Convulsive Life runs, dances without reason,
Blatant and brawling, shrill with spite.
--As soon as over the horizon

Night, voluptuous and vast,
Arises, making hunger tame,
Hiding all things, even shame,
The Poet to himself: "At last!

My spirit and my jaded spine
Plead hungrily for rest. I'll go,
With dreams darkening my mind,

And lie full length upon my back,
O cooling curtains of deep shadow,
And roll and wrap me in your black."

Charles Baudelaire
