Flow stops is a poem about sadness and loss and how a heart pours tears that flow freely.

Flow Stops

Stop my flowing heart
Wasted waters need damming
River flow stops here

The Zoo – Poem by Dragon Blogger

Light Poems
05 Mar 2010

I am on a field trip with my son to the Zoo today so I wrote this little poem last night.

The Zoo

Caged I shall dazzle
Enthralled I shall scare
A mighty creature contained
I am the grizzly bear

Mark my ivory tusks
Open plains where I bunk
My herd my only family
My power in my trunk

Wisdom with feathered wings
Eyes with such keen sight
Silence with a dark shadow
a hunter in the night

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of AccuWeather. All opinions are 100% mine.


After the Storm

Mushrooms peak through Earth
Torrential rains now passing
Life after the storm

-Haiku by Justin Germino

We have been getting so many weekend storms here in Arizona over the past months that I am checking AccuWeather every other day to see what the weather will bring. Seriously, more rainfall in the first two months of the year than we normally get in an entire year in some drought years here in AZ.

AccuWeather has a beta version of their website that makes it even faster and easier to get your local weather information at your fingertips. Just click on the site and type in your zip code and you are presented with an instant three day forecast showing you what the weather will be like so you can plan accordingly.

What is also great about AccuWeather is you can find facts and information about Extreme Weather like Hurricanes, Global Warming, as well as look up information on major previous storms to learn about them. There is more than enough live video and footage of weather for those people who like to see storms in action and get live reports. In addition to getting your local weather forecast you can find the latest important news articles and information related to the weather across the nation.

So plan ahead and make checking the weather one of the first website stops you make in the morning before you leave the house or plan your day.

The Dark Ring – Random Twitter Poem for Mar 2nd

twitter poems
02 Mar 2010

The Dark Ring is a poem about a prostitution ring and from the point of view of a ring leader or pimp who runs such a business.It also includes a “phrase” submitted instead of a word by one twitter follower and I decided to include it for fun. Thanks to the 13 submissions today (in blue) from the following twitter players:
@DaneBlogger (The more I get lost), @GeB0i (sodomy), @weirdopoet (turgid), @PottyMouthCon (seminal), @libertytax13660 (taxes), @filigreegirl (numismatic), @AttilaBS (necromancer), @Blazing_Minds (Gourmet), @omgzam (SEO), @Williamm49 (posthumous), @Jan_Geronimo (Shackle), @SurfCityJay (reward), @pauldsimpson (extortion)

The Dark Ring

The more I get lost in prostitution
new deals found through simple SEO
a twisted necromancer of extortion
lost in turgid gourmet sodomy
that ends in a seminal release
shackle of a numismatic exchange
bitter reward as painful as taxes
yet they all pay and come back for more
shame and dishonor is my posthumous legacy
but for now I reap the rewards of wealth

-Poem by Dragon Blogger
