Lovelorn Poet in Detroit, MI: Bottle Caps Or Fads

February 23, 2015 by lovelornpoets

Goldfish by Erik Von Ploennies

I would like myself some goldfish.
I prefer new toys and methods of seeking fun. Toys that can do a lot of things.
I’ve never been into clicking bottle caps for fun. I wish she could see that.
I wish she knew that she was still very adored by me.
Obstacles reduced, I like to get out and try new things.
New things or fads such as not going looking for love, and realizing its with me.
I have always shared it with those who want it. She could take a lesson from that too.
New things also include taking spontaneous trips to the unknown.
Cities or states of being.

Her Two Cents

I would, I prefer, I’ve never
I wish, I wish
I like, I have

She could take, she could see, she knew, she was very adored by me

Lovelorn Poet in Detroit, MI: Poem For The Lost

Apple Tree by Balazs Sprenc

Humans can be terrible.
It all ends at the cider mill,
or yards before it. Turn car around,
Make big decisions.

Winter’s menu features dust, tuna,
fallen branches in the yard, trash.
Like some natives said, “A place
is only where something happened.”

Minds are made up.
Yellow moons rise lately.
Snow hasn’t covered up the leaves.
Tell the folks I said hi.

A place is only where something happened.
Like some natives said, “It all ends at the cider mill,”
Minds are made up. Make big decisions.
Humans can be terrible.
