Anchors of Sin
(This is all just my opinion,
what I glean from the internet,
Mainstream News, and my imagination –
do your own research. If there is any
truth in my observations, this write will
definitely not make me a star in LOW
PLACES, who are in power – in my speculative
opinion)
Anchors of Sin
No system of governance
is perfect; but what we

Anchors Without Rancour
Anchors without rancour are rare today.
They don’t just report rumors, they dissect some.
Men like Brinkley and Huntley, anchors aweigh,
anchors without rancour.
They steer clear of party-lines with no humdrum.
No newshawk floored CBS such a long stay
as Walter Cronkite whose candor ranks as plumb.
War correspondents, like Murrow kept at bay
and cleared away critics like

The Anchors I Carry
The anchors I carry
were a plethora of burdens
I was never meant to carry
always weighed down
by my insecurities
the snare of the fear of men
the lust of my flesh
the pride of my life
and the voice of my past traumas
You are the Creator of my soul
the One who wants to provide me
with a private island
saturated with an abundance
of

stardate: February 26th, 2022
At sea since time immemorial
I relish being alone
upon oceanic expanse
yours truly doth bemoan
me gal Sal (one among
numerous female confidantes),
no matter, she easily
mistaken as a crone
magical powers keep
her manning far aloft drone
as surveillance hovers above me
(to intercept encrypted
communication maintained
courtesy bluetooth earphone)
the two of us sol survivors
I feel like a

Anchors Aweigh...Destination Unknown
Weather beaten cap'n,
and watertight bewitched craft
time tested since maiden voyage
(circumnavigating the globe
back in the day
of my youth),
I ranked tough as a pitbull,

of swiftly tailored,

One of the Best Anchors
W-orld news and current affairs
E-volve virtually in EBC;
N-et 25 neutral station
G-ives information to see.
D-ay twentieth of March
E-arly breaks after the night;
L-et the Monday morning
A-im to bring warmth and light.
F-rom local to international events,
U-nder the wide blue sky;
E-agle Broadcasting Corporation
N-ever will tell a lie.
T-ruth

Despite New Anchors
She filled the entire sky.
The fold of clouds evened out.
She smiled regardless of weather.
Her smile peeped through the cracks of closed blinds.
Peeked between open spots of trees.
Her smile bright for all to see.
Highlighting everyone around.
All seamlessly standing still.
It was easy to become lost.
A young woman with rosy cheeks.
At first glance her dimple shown.
The corners of

Opinion About News Anchors
Turn on news, want to hear what's real
don't care about politics or how you feel.
Tell me what, where, when, anything that's new
not important what you think or your view.
Reading a prompter emotionally, pretending you care
thinking you're special, got the job because of your hair.
News is reporting facts, not a calculated political spin
let citizens know the

Anchors On Strings Hanging From Sails
Sailboat afloat on a journey of light
Seagulls take wing, navigators in flight
The sun is a timepiece, seconds in the sand
The clock tells no time, it's missing a hand
The wind is a dancer, to the rhythm it sways
As the waves become angry, looking for prey
The journey of light is

Anchors
To succumb to one's own pride,
Or to the ferrying tides?
To hold on, you must decide,
That this journey's worth the ride.
Often times I see these boats
Stuck on sandbars, sometimes moats,
They can hardly stay afloat,
Yet somehow, onward they go.

Anchors Aweigh
A rock, an anchor, a touchstone
Our visits, email, time on phone.
Has been such an aid in my struggles
And I really enjoyed all the snuggles.
But stones are a burden, you see,
And they no longer are a help to me.
Thanks for telling me your needs
It makes it clear we can’t proceed.
So this is all I have to
