I thought I would start by saying hello, and since this is a place for poetry, I figured I had better post one! My name is Jeff, but everyone calls me Smiley since I generally always am smiling.


I wrote this after thinking about the Witch trials.

  Death of humanity  �

Pillars of destiny
Standing tall and proud
Surrounded by thousands 
I was part of the crowd 
Watching and waiting
for the fire to consume 
taking the woman 
the child in her womb 
power enshrined   
in a body so young 
she must be destroyed   
not simply hung 
the power she wields 
is not from this earth 
her unborn child 
she cannot birth 
a demon inside 
said the preacher out loud 
and screams for her death 
came from the crowd 
with her last breath 
she spoke as a plea 
just these last words 
“blessed be"
