Acted Poems

The day my life went all topsy turvy,

And Christmas party was full of wine!

That day started like any other day,
work and home, nothing else to...Read More

The pretty bird was getting a scolding of a lifetime
My neighbor called me to look out.
It was funny.
At first.

The limb did not move.

Was this his mate?

My neighbor phoned me.
Can you believe it? She...Read More

Upon watching this series 
How could I not write?
This little boy’s future 
Could have been so bright

Not wanted by...Read More

You and I my friend, are not different at all, although at
first glance, we seem to come from very different worlds.

2 Dog Caught
There was no more playing
Or being seen by the locals
One man saw the dog
He made a plan and acted
He stole and kidnapped the dog
Taking him to his house
To cook alive and eat
A nice meal for him and his...Read More

Marietta was a happy little girl when she had lived at home
For the first six years, until she was stolen by a lonely crone.
The old woman’s food was strange at first, drinks all had foam.
But she had been here eighteen...Read More

He asked her why she acted so,
her answer was “Why not”

He asked her why her mood was vile,
she said “That’s all I've got”

He asked her then about their love,
gone missing and in doubt

She answered back while looking down,
a whisper not...Read More

I think the time has run,
It's fallen to its knees. 
I think the time has gone, 
I can hear its pleas.

I was so very warmed, 
Now...Read More

Born a year after her crowning, named after the Queen
   My sister had no luck, her life short and mean
Academically and behaviorally in trouble at school
   A royal rebel was 'Liz;' she broke all the rules

Couldn't...Read More

It acted fast, no frown.

Is being open to fate,
a choice

Accepting tomorrow,
in lieu of today

A foretelling that still
can be acted upon

A remembrance

 A boy met a Lady, They Danced and drank and met up daily, 
Laughter filled their lungs, as they acted a little crazy,
Soon time began to fly by lately, 
Although in their 20s they dreaded turning...Read More

When first met him, he acted like leader,
used to pretend as a great achiever;
sought to bypass the laid down procedure.
Some disliked him for acts as beleaguer;

His working process many did not like
his didactic style workforce did dislike.

His behaviour in office...Read More

The Republican congressmen,
and I do mean white privileged straight men,
came to their Democratic opposition
concerned about how depressing
December can be,
and all of winter,
come to think and feel
of dark discerning Advent,

So maybe we could stage
a comedic debate
about Trumpism,

To say the most extravagant...Read More
