Large, bold strokes
spray painted symbols, words
innocent and sinister hieroglyphs
and slogans in black and blue
on pulsating, animated canvas
Names, times, events, places
feelings and forgotten emotions
weathered, all
Some are ancient, indecipherable
some still hurt some never did
some are funny a few not at all
Many names are legible, a.k.a’s
various wry nom de plumes abound
gratuitous entries outnumbered by
the meaningful but misinterpreted
by others, Rosetta stones be damned
Emotional vandals. Heart graffiti.

About poetluckerate
I am a poet, writer and teacher who moved from Minnesota to New Orleans in 2008 to help rebuild the worst public school system in America. It is a huge challenge to say the least.
Now, after ten years, I have returned home to my native Midwest.
Writing - in many different forms and ways - has saved me untold thousands in therapy bills throughout the years. Reading my writings may do either the same - or just the opposite - for you. Read at your own risk, as I do not offer writer malpractice insurance. ;-{) I hope you enjoy what you read here.
