KnightKrawler
has accumulated an extensive performance background and his second book, The Rules of Poetry, is designed to inspire, teach, and educate emerging artists about the benefits and vices of speaking in front of a live audience. He says, “Performing live is a different atmosphere and encompasses more than just ‘stepping on stage.’ There are many benefits as well as pitfalls.” His second book is designed to serve as a guide on how to deliver your message without sacrificing your integrity. “Hopefully these rules will be as much of an inspiration to you as they have been to me.”

Madoria Strange by Collin C. McSheehy

Madoria Strange

It’s raining outside for Madoria Strange.
She wants to pick flowers
but the weather won’t change.
Instead, she paints by numbers.
The sun turns into moonlight when the
flowers begin to die.
She just can’t see the stars
and so she’s painted out the sky.
Her mother said she “is a little confused.”
She ran to the garden when she was abused.
Lies from her father began to sink in.
Destroying her virtue and tainting her skin.
Running through flowers when she was a child.
Her beautiful soul would soon be defiled.
A stranger to love in the strangest of ways.
Madoria weeping alone in the rain.
Her saddening grows with her mother away.
Too far to fall, but the razor is sharp.
Her movements were staggered.
Too close to the heart.
They found her remains in the garden in may.
Her shadow still remains…

Two Years Now by Vajrasattva Saraswatiputra

Two Years Now

Two years now.
Well,
Almost.
Homeless?
Not really.
A tent in the woods.
Just residentially challenged.
The apartment
Gone.
Clothes,
Books,
Shoes,
China,
Crystal,
All gone.
All the objects
I perceived
That made me
‘ME’
Gone.
A house
Stripped bare
Not desolate
Not in ruins
Reconstructing the self
The window trappings gone
Peer into my mind
I’ve seen houses
Expensive
Inexpensive
Under construction
The building techniques identical
Why is the one
Worth more than the other?
A label?
A connotation?
Isn’t the structure more important?
What do the furnishings
Exterior
Really matter?
Mere trappings
When the mind is as clear
As still
As a mountain lake
As clear
As brilliant
As a diamond
When the body is a sacred temple
What window dressings are necessary?
