Read Poem: DISTANT IN TIME, by Michael Hogan

Cities of the last empire
Ring the desert like humpback whales swimming
In a distance that recedes to what is distant in time.

Stars of the last night
Fall without falling but explode and grow small
Birthing space that is not space,
In a distance that recedes to what is distant in time

Man and woman of the last garden
Come together in work and travail,
Birthing saviors at dawn, at midnight,
Or when the edge of eternity is just visible
In a distance that recedes to what is distant in time.

Mike Hogan (c) 2018

Why should this screenplay be made into a TV show?

Too many reasons to list off, but mainly because it’s a show I would (and most likely a whole host of other people) would want to watch.

rose-2335203_1920

This is a story of young guy named Alex. And his lady love Sandra.
He fell in love with her. She was a wonder woman, the kind that could make a guy fall in love at first sight. She was a beauty of sorts, the kind of woman, who had a way of making a target out of a guy, and leaving him half dead, and later disappearing into thin air. The perfect phrase would be “A black widow spider”. Alex was new in Bangalore a city in the state of Karnataka, in south of India. He was a new guy in Bangalore. A sixteen-year old, just arrived from Bombay to the city to finish his second year of pre-university in science. He finally flunked in the second year, in all subjects leaving Hindi and English.

Read Poem: Poetry of Mind, by Joy Genauer

Little glitters of sunshine

Little trickles of rain

Resonate in my thoughts

Like flashes of light

Tremble like joy

Breathe with fear

Words spoken

Like splinters of glass

Or feathers that lift

High above the earth

In a blink they emerge

Asking for essence

Asking for clarity

Making themselves known

Read Poem: My Word, by Pamela L.Compton “Poet Pam”

Come forth and slap me with your sharpened tongue and I shall take a blade and cut the serpent off.
For I speak within my soul,
something you degenerates would never know.
For the world I live in is mine and mine alone.
There is nothing here for you but the sticks and stones.
Mock my words and play thy games;
One thing for sure you will remember my name

Read Poem: The Ruins, by William P. Robertson

The ruins were overgrown
with brambles & briars.
Crumbled walls cast shadows
in the moonlit gloom
& toadstools crunched underfoot.
Cold drafts seeped from
subterranean vaults.
Ghostly lovers embraced
like tangled roses.

–William P. Robertson
