D.J. Donny Johnson, just
had a nasty day,
The back splash settled nicely,
on D.J.’s outstretched hand,
The burning was incredible,
he could not make it stop,
Running out of options, amidst
increasing pain,
I’m told that his solution,
nowhere is down in ink,
It’s a good thing that he
didn’t have, some frozen cubes of ice,

is a Masterpiece by Harry Polis Not all that I write is sweetness and light but hard like a bed of nails. Some make it fine on line after line Some of it moves like snails It's witty It's shitty Some tell and some don't It comes from the heart and told by the throat Some of it sails and some of it sinks It glows oh-so-brightly or suddenly stinks It comes from the heart in part after part and leaves when it tells its tale And sometimes land a minnow and sometimes I land a whale. |

by Harry Polis I look back now and then to see where I came from. I sometimes joy at what I see The pain I feel if only I look closely and remove the fantasy in wanting to see things other than what they were at those times I feel the longing to go back to the safe time that has passed But on looking deeply I see the failures And at that moment, realize I must go forward because my mind has moved beyond that Such a small insight And yet How many are stuck at that truth and cannot move from that spot And so remain forever |
