My name is Michael McMonigle, the main author of this site.
I am also Morrison Rouse, your editor and host for this language party.
This website houses many of my poems, critiques, criticisms, observations, and other short pieces. My hope for Rantings, Ravings, and Writings is that you find something (a idea, a passion, a word, a memory) that stirs you.
I am interested in all comments, thoughts, and suggestions. I hope you enjoy!
I’ve forgotten how to want
Locked in a constant constrain
Everything is in my head
The rest missing attention
I know myself no longer
And wonder if I ever did
The pains taken haunting
Leave the unenvied unwanted
This song is just memory
Heard at a distance long before
A melody I don’t recognize
Next to a rhythm foreign
Heat has left my soul
Leaving only cold hollow
Alone in this shell
Where love is unknown
