Cinquain
Poem
'Water'
Water gushed over parched land
fractures are slowly filled left by drought
terrain humidified by cold water
pouring down replacing warmth
everything ice-covered
Water
set in ice form
fluffy and breathtaking
an impish sting to its beauty
arctic
my clothes are drenched
twirl around with outstretched arms
tears are forgotten

The Twinkling
The Twinkling
above
the hazy moon
night time whispers stories
shooting stars race in close to hear
and wink

Cinquain
Poem
Wrongful conviction
Sweetened dung is shoveled down
gluttonous throats with eager appetites for
alleged misdeeds skillfully spun
into a frenzy of sensationalized hype
by media-seasoned reporters.
.
Seduced by speculation and hearsay,
a jury of pseudo-intellectuals assembles
neatly with moral turpitude tied
smug and tight around rigid white collars
stained heavy with sweat and anticipation.
She stands alone as the eyes of
the court pierce through her appraising
her posture and expression while
the echo of charges being read dissipates
with the smell of type ink and old mahogany.
Fragments of truth embellished
for shock-value and dramatic effect
spill forth as vomit
from confessional mouths
reeking of rot and fermentation.
Vulturous prosecutors rise in fluid
motion squawking accusations in
expert execution of closing arguments,
pecking apart flesh, unconscionably
scattering the meaty bones of her defense.

Poem
The poet and the jester (on embracing duality)
It is the conversation
between the poet and the jester.
The poet- with solemn introspection;
the jester- with careless regard,
each captivating the other.
It is the ultimate irony
of this unlikely coupling,
entwining their words,
combining truth and mischief,
sabotaging established decorum.
Neither threatened nor contrite,
nor challenging the others' wisdom,
but with enthusiastic fornication
and eager indecency
they consecrate their mutual madness

Professional Crime - Cinquain
Lawyer,
slippery snake,
white collar criminal,
mirror image of thievery,
serpent.

Poem
Traces
Traces
In the wet sand
Footprints of gulls, and man
Disappear in the tidal dance
Of waves.
Traces
In the red dust
Feet of man, and horses
Up in canyons, leave no trace of
The brave.
Traces
In the garden
Of such delightful scents
In spring and summer by winter
Erased.
Traces
Of human life
Throughout world's history
However, are reported upon its
Pages.
Traces
Of wins and woes
Like hand prints upon walls
Can't be erased, for their foothold
Remains.

Cinquain
Poem
Empty
Empty
like bottled air
clinging to nothing real,
except to slippery inside walls
of space
Empty
like heart chamber
holding on to first love
bouncing back and forth, side to side
then gone
Empty
like nerve feeling
continued ceaseless pain
until all feeling is dissolved
or cold
