The Ache of Knowing (poem)

January 14, 2020January 13, 2020 S.R. Crawford3 Comments

It is a horrid thing. Knowing the exact weight of choice. Knowing, from here, you fly or you fall. This is it.   Loud are the opinions, the "advice" and judgement of others. Tip-toe ahead... or leap? from the cliffside Will wings grow as I fall? It hurts to be so aware.   And it's… Continue reading The Ache of Knowing (poem)

Avant-garde (poem)

December 11, 2019December 3, 2019 S.R. CrawfordLeave a comment

Avant-garde: I’ve never really been one to do things the right way. The normal way. No. I break rules, not because I’m a rebel but because the rules just don’t suit me. Is that wrong? I’m sorry.

God, you've made so many mistakes. I'm surprised you can still keep a straight face When you say that you're proud of yourself. How can you be? You fool, You've made so many mistakes. The people you neglected, The education you turned your back on, The jobs you were too good for, The story ideas… Continue reading Happy April Fools, You Fool (Poem)

Happy Birthday, Grandad.

March 14, 2018March 14, 2018 S.R. CrawfordLeave a comment

There are many men in this world, Yet my grandfather towers above the rest. Perhaps this is because he isn't of this world. Of course he isn't. How could he be?
