ANOTHER STORY Time to turn a corner, time to shift my gears; I remember the me I used to be, There was another story, there was another floor, And that something stole her heart from me; There was another story, not just another floor; What was it she whispered that I wouldn’t hear, What was it I was not meant to see? THE WILL TO POWER How much stronger must the will to power be? How much larger than life must I try to be? How many miles to go before I can sleep? How much stranger must the name before me be? How much stronger must the will to power be? LAKESIDE LIVING Thunder rumbled all that summer day, I remember when she got the call, My baby and me were on the beach, But everything was about to change, I played my flute to the lonely moon, |
Joseph V. Danoski lives happily on the “plains of his imagination” in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He published his first book of poems titled Shock Waves: Letters from the Edge back in 1987, under his pen name Jonathan Konrad. This book is still being sold in local bookstores, and has been reviewed favorably a number of times. Through the years, Joseph has had quite a few of his poems published in the city’s newspaper, The Berlin Reporter, where for a time he had a byline in its poetry corner. In 1997 he was asked by the Chamber of commerce to write something appropriate for the Berlin Centennial Celebration. After researching the history of the area and the paper-making industry, he wrote a poem titled “The City Built from Trees” which he read at City Hall.
