  • The Impatient Sonnet

    By Emmanuel Williams August 10, 2026 * Is one always this tense on the eve of his fortune Invariably tossed betwixt odd things that please Expecting improvement, a wave from the ocean The energy set in, potent, and lean In the storm of expectance and uncomely pain Sat still in his dwelling, a nightbird twixt…

  • Dead Sun

    By Emmanuel Williams August 4, 2026 * A year in which the sun Sat behind the clouds When has the sun Been useful beyond this? * Say my lifetime was cloudy Overcast constantly Am I a blade of glass? Or a flower much in need? * What has the sun done for me? But given…

    The Dragon/The Maiden

    By Emmanuel Williams July 17, 2026 This one I drew two nights ago after my first ever spliff of tobacco and Blockberry strain cannabis.

  • Dead Already

    By Emmanuel Williams June 6, 2026 * And I find myself In the middle of the night Playing far better strings Than I ever used to * I find myself  On the porch Living the dream I’m afraid she’s not in it * But she isn’t leaving And I’m not bowing out Don’t get me…

    Thanks For The Liberty

    * By Emmanuel Williams May 25, 2026 * Dear fallen heroes of the United States Armed Forces, Thank you for the Liberty. * Thank you for soft green mornings For daydreams uninterrupted Thank you for American birdsong And the parade of fashion’s angels * I would thank you for peaceful classrooms But that’s up to…

    The Goddess Tide

    By Emmanuel Williams May 18, 2026 * We sailed a fortnight Covered in rain * The men aboard my ship Kept relics under their beds In their arms Clutched to their chests * They had heard of the lady Standing in the sky Dressed in white linen Who kept them alive * The calm was…

  • The Nature of It…

    By Emmanuel Williams May 10, 2026 * Oh genius What is wisdom Oh dude What is Omni- * All I know Is what character Nature Reveals * With character Comes flaw Comes habit And quirk * It comes from the mind Diseased or never Directs the body Toward fight or for pleasure * Oh genius…

    By Emmanuel Williams May 1, 2026 * Oh moon, how thou dost please me It is I you must know by now Yet thou who musn’t ever know me And you who will always entreat me With tonight’s orange moonrise On the first it be of May The month of my birth A flower you…

  • What Women Want

    By Emmanuel Williams April 27, 2026 I have found  What women truly desire And it is  To be truly admired * Those who fail Have a very loud wail They’re all male And their hearts have grown stale Which worsens the matter When all that they’re after Have turned their back And may never come…

  • The Keanu Fucking Reeves Ode

    By Emmanuel Williams * I beg you please Listen to me I’ll tell you a legend  Of Keanu Reeves * There’s pale in his face Yes there’s style But more grace * A prisoner of blockbuster film He is The Prince of Action * The one, the brutal Your vital action hero No “dude” has…

  • Ode To Johnny Depp

    By Emmanuel Williams * The legend that is the Depp of fortune For fortune and the curls of Cry Baby Hands like weapons and fingers of knives A wonder known haunted as Edward With bats above his head And cocaine in his blood Among others and yet like no other Johnny. Fucking. Depp. Or Willy…
