The Storm Water Pipe
The storm water pipe
gaped into open air
from an embankment
where it surfaced
from underground.
The opening was a little
smaller than my childhood height
and they said it stretched
a mile or more but nobody
knew for sure.
A danger sign warned
against entry saying
the pipe was subject to sudden
flooding - a protective grate
had a hole big enough
to crawl through.
I would...

The sound of breaking
The sound of breaking is late.
Thunder shatters gray clouds after
lightning strikes the damp soil.
When pieces of sky pierce flesh,
the scream is slow to rise—
The sound of breaking follows pain’s echo.
The sound of breaking is gentle.
Raindrops tiptoe on my eyelids—
each sting a secret pressed down.
Earth's unbridled tears fall for my...

Not Her Fault"It was your dress," they replied
Was it? The ripped fabric cried
The 5-year-old's laughter silenced that day
Couldn't even scream, "I'm just a child," and ran away
"It was your shorts," they claimed
Was it? The torn seams proclaimed
The 10-year-old's dreams shattered, flamed
Couldn't even cry, "I'm just a girl," with shame
"It was your clothes," they blamed
Was it? The cloth...

Why The Grey Sky GrewWhy the grey sky grew
Could it be because of you?
Or because my heart's feeling blue
The sun only shines when I'm with you
When we're far apart
The world grows dark
It thunders and rains
Blowing wind that chills my veins
Occasionally striking the garden we grew
A garden of love built by me and you
The anger of fire will destroy the...

Four Square-kimo and reverseFour Square
electrostatic dimming of sunlight
mellisonant quickening
lightning playing four square
study quadrants on screen
kingdom come of a rainstorm
that merely whispers an awakening...

Lacking an AnchorA drift in a sea of longing,
rudderless and without direction.
Trying to stay afloat
amidst the relentless winds and currents
whipping the crests into a frenzy.
At the mercy of the nautical tempest,
in a fruitless battle to maintain control,
I’m losing sight of the sheltered harbor
that was my refuge from this upheaval
brought on by the forced solitude
when you left...

The Silent StormA silent storm is brewing within my chest
A benumbing chill sets my soul aflame
A warm welcome sets alarm bell ringing,
In the realm of hush at the dawn of dusk
do you hear the swooshing
of the waves on the sandy shore?
Do you hear the shush...

The World is BleedingThe world is bleeding, from the inside out,
with a punctured heart ready to burst.
Call Universal O- blood donors.
They may be able to save the most first.
A rain of tears cleanses streets from the red-
stained, dripping sheet-shrouds oozing children's blood.
While flesh is shredded from human bone by-
natural forces of wind, earth, and flood.
The world lies,...

Woebegone!
When the darkness colors the midnight skies
And all your blessings seem in the past, you surmise
The ache of heart who knows nothing but lies
Listen to the story of His glory – He never dies
When the worries grow harder and you feel defeated
And all your heartfelt yearnings are uncompleted
The heavy hand of doubt causes you to...

Full Blown Thunderstorm in Kansasa tiny drizzle or an avalanche of water cascading like Niagara Falls?
April is giving us a joyful nod, emptying her clouds one at a time
Clothes on the line went from being sprinkled to saturated
robins had been hopping happily; now they are in hiding
I was dancing with joy for the garden and I needed rain
But this...

Posaidon's SurfboardUpon the waves where the wild winds sing,
A tale unfolds of a vessel and its wing;
Through the tide, it dances, graceful and free,
Harnessing the ocean's heart, a sight to see.
With cargo holds filled, treasures abound,
From the Pacfic to the Atlantic, dreams resound.
A bill...
