Hi all. My name is Doc. It’s a nickname from since before I can remember, early childhood. I live in St Petersburg Fl. And I’m into everything from reality tv shows (Project Runway, ANTM), science fiction stuff, movies, most sports and just about anything else as long as it can hold my attention span for more than a few minutes.

Poetry / Dreaming Dead
Version 1
3 Reviews   4 Comments
Battle screams, red dreams Of men splattered, women shattered Meat scattered on the streets of Hell's lord horn toed feet. Do the Dead Dream of Sleep? An act of Kindness, a cowardly thing A poison of the Psych, A warrior's might Kind man, hurry Fast, take flight. Are the Dead Afraid of Death? Sulphur dawn, Musty night The heated chill of Death's Sight. Raised on high, lowered below With cautious dread the dead do go. If the Dead have the Answers, Dare we ask the Questions? Walking, shambling,...

Poetry / To Be A Hero
Version 1

I wonder what I would do If I were a hero Or more specifically What would a hero do if me For in selfishness when I conquer I lose Would a hero sacrifice his Selfishness for a point to prove Or does a hero possess real un-selfishness The heart of fools We all possess selfishness And greed This is the truth I tell you A basic human need What makes us heroes Or heroes into us Is a self delusion that selfish greed Is not a part of our make-up, Just a disease

Poetry / Mourning Dawn
Version 1

Suddenly in a forest, I came upon a scene A man-figure with his back to me I approach, curious and inquiring. I barge upon a grief. Before I tell you the scene I see I must describe the beauty of the setting. In a forest, deep and green, the density of the trees Is the accent it needs. In a clearing, made greener by the sun's bright light, Kneels a small lithe figure by a lonely graveyard site. I approach from behind and yet he knows I'm near An ancient youth, from his eyes fall tears. I look...

It came to me on a Sunday morn Clear and crisp as a light blue spring day It was a voice and to me it had to say "If you know life, you know I'm here to stay". Bury me and you will not be far behind Hide me and you will see I'm not hard to find Deceive me, you cannot For I am you, in the dark. Yes. It is you that you hear. Are you listening with our ears? I am your other self. Are you not impressed? I am that part of you Which grieves at death While you hold your tears in As others stutter th...

Poetry / frugal bastard
I think you've captured the thoughts or feelings of most people on this site. I'm sure we've all thought these things at one time or another. As far as the poetry part goes. very good. ...and it is funny. So funny i can't find fault with it. or is it because i don't want to?
Poetry / Chaparral
Very cryptic but good. Also, I think the punctuation was uneeded. The line breaks were sufficient. The imagery were awesome and the beauty of this poem. The flow and cadence were okay but, in my opinion, thrown due to the unneeded punctuation. As for the poem itself and what it meant was very hard to figure out to the highly metaphoric nature of this piece....and i'm still not sure I got it right after re-reading it 3 times. No matter how I interprate this I get a highly sensual feel from it ...

Though this poem is definitely not the style I favor it is easily recognizeable as strong solid poetry. What I liked the most in this piece is the message itself (as I often write about the same thing) and the use of strong alliteration ("when will we...). The imagery is good and the flow is good. What I did not like was the technical style of the poem. The poem from a grammatical and technical stand point is perfect but that goes against what I like to see in poetry...breaking the mold. Here...
Poetry / Thinspun
Kinda of reminds me of the "The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse". Parts of this I found amusing...some were not so amusing. An interesting read. The things I liked about this piece was the imagery. You hooked me beginning with "the child scooped out...". Being an electrician by trade the imagery following that line was vivid. Very good job there. I also like the punctuation in this piece. Lately, either you see needless over-use of punctuation or total (or near total) lack of punct...

I really, really like this. I may be totally off but is this about a street lamp? Well, anyway that's what it says to me and it's a very good description...great imagery. Only one thing threw me; why the ellipsis at the end of the second line, last stanza? It seemed unneccessary. Very good poem. Thank you.
