It doesn’t matter
nothing matters I said as we left and
I was probably right
for once
well what did I get for it?
words left in a blog
that’s what I got
words in a damn blog.
Do you ever feel like you are
yesterdays blog?
nothing matters he said again as if waiting for
the punch line
Fuck Punch Fuck Judy
Fuck the punch line
nothing matters
least of all this
poem in the damn
night
this meandering life sputters a bit
and occasionally reveals the truth
you guessed it

Resident Poets
Loneliness Poem by David Michael Jackson
poem about being left alone
poem of love
poem of loneliness
a poem in the night
to hold back the beast
just a little bit
a little silence in words
Oh paint me a picture of the wind in the trees
Oh sing me a song with clapping of hands
Oh carry me home with a chorus of
love
and remember the lost one in the night
writing poems
alone

Under God Poem by Summer Breeze
“under God”
God did not say
“I am the only God”
God said
“Put no other Gods before me”
religion plus politics
equals War
what hope is there
when the masses prefer lockstep
to freedom of thought?
Bushism pokes away by little and by sweeps
the Devil says, “God,
I resign!
Humans are more evil than even I can conjur…”
No War has Ever Been Won Poem by Summer Breeze
Summer Breeze
NoWar Has Ever BeenWon
the south still fights the civil war
the Native Americans theirs
behind an Asian smile is Hiroshima
leaders may surrender and obey
people never forget
nor accept
defeat
carrying bigger and bigger sticks
created billions of splinters
mighty motes
splintering the children
billions of lives sacrificed
no war has ever been won
