Poet's Creed Literary

I don’t set out to surpass Atwood, Cohen

cae Supplement

Don't desire

to be discussed

in academic chitchat

at upper canadian luncheons Don’t even crave

the taste of immortality to live forever

in dusty shelves

This is all a deeper river than I can swim in

[ just once

one time in my life

want some poor soul

to ask my autograph

to dance.

Steven C. McOrmond

What About You ?

There you are.

You don’t belong to any group; You're not a born-again hippie or Another one of those Jim Morrisons

Why, you’re not even a popular dude.

There you are.

A Different Kind

Pardon me, I am but a starter at this game.

I have not yet been spoiled by the illusions of fame.

Such a shame.

My thoughts R of gnarly wood, lik they should.

And that derisiveness should have broken me, but I stood.

This is good.

This Kaleidoscopic Society doesn’t fit my soul.

It only spoils & hinders the artiste’ precious role.

Shawn

Just minding your own business, Occurring at your own rate while everyone around you

Struggles to "Find Themselves".

You don’t think anyone notices you,

But I do. I’m another you.
