The Garden
This garden grows in rows
The old soil is parched and hard
Stripped of nourishment
By time
Headstones in a graveyard

This garden grows in rows
Sprung from seeds of despair
Grown from consequence
By design
Gate broken beyond repair

This garden grows in rows
Watered by slow gray tears
Tended with old love
By thine
A long black coach draws near

This garden grows in rows
The flowers mingle with the weeds
Silence all surrounding
By mine
No one visits, cries or pleads

Sweet Life

My greatest creations
My greatest crime
To bring you two here
To do your time
You’re all I see
Beauty, love, and joy
Pure excellence
Please forgive me

The hopes I had
Were bigger then me
The dreams I dreamt
Will never be
This house is broken
The foundation sunk
No insulation
From words spoken

The lesson I fear
To live is to fail
To wither and wither
Until you are frail
Then you will die
With nothing in hand
Wondering, moaning
Why did I try?

The Early Worm
The early worm
gets the dirt
A man with a heart
gets hurt
A fool and his money
will surely be parted
A man with a heart
will become broken-hearted

HOWL - Internet Poetry Monthly - Edition 1
Welcome to the Howl - Internet Poetry Monthly.

I would like to thank those of you who submitted your works to this edition. I truly believe that it does take courage to put yourself and your art out there for others. Thanks again!

The format for this poetry carnival is rather basic. There are three sections comprising Howl. The first section is made up of original works submitted via the internet. Section two will feature one of my efforts for the month (I do love my stuff the best). The final section will feature a work from a 'famous' poet of my choice. So, that being said, let's get on with this poetry carnival for April 2008.

SUBMISSIONS - THEIR STUFF

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Yard Yarns (Limerick and Haiku Prompt) posted at Mad Kane's Humor Blog.

Zilch
You wake me you wonder
Now take me to see
Don't wake me to ponder
This dawn mystery

I look through the blinds
No mooney beams there
No treasures or finds
So pale your stare

Gray matter connections
Have fluttered and failed
Your constant rejections
I've toiled and toiled

Wake me, wake me
Take me to see
This horrible nightmare
I cannot flee

You take away measure
And meter and rhyme
And leave me here broken
Waiting for their return

Cubes

Why do we do this
This awful thing we do
We sit in squares
In upright chairs
Until the day is through

God-damn the Dollar
God-damn the Euro too
We trade thought and freedom
For security with no view
