Arm Poems

Soldier Boy you are much too young
But your going off to war
Arm yourself prepare to fight
This is not a simple chore

It’s an old war we must fight
Step up boys and shout
Helmets , vests,...Read More

Newfoundlanders can row, you should see some of'em go,
when they puts a punt on a pond. 
But I don't like this mess, all this Race foolishness,
I'd never seen so much goings on.

If you wants to see someone rowing, 
you needs...Read More

KNOWING LESS THAN BEFORE…

That whisper of the night before struck me powerfully, 
It affected me more than I intended to admit
Hades—stupid Hades, a follower, loyal enough—
But nothing to compare with the suicidal, lovely
Red glow of Death’s betrayal— and to ME!...Read More

Now that the task has been done 
and victory has been won
I am waiting for you to ask me to come

And the battle has just began
I am waiting for you to take me...Read More

( For Caren Krutsinger)




The long arm of the law reaches far and wide
If you've done wrong you've no place to hide
Didn't bother my brother, he was quick on the draw 
But I'm his law abiding twin, he's an outlaw.

  images are slow to fade; where did they go? why were they here?
  pensive pen and ink, a gentle man of measure
  pipe-smoke wafting cool blue persevering pleasure
  cartoon humour designed with careful modest pride

His life raft drifted helplessly in an ocean of tears and lost dreams

		In tangible finite and impermanent flow

He lost his compass and the needle festered in Tom’s purulent arm

		A portal to hot flushes of receding pain

Chasing sea dragons and hobgoblins...Read More

Ready is my faith toward rejuvenating revival
Optimizing His offered stewardship opportunities 
Secured in...Read More

"everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." - Confucious
 

all she could see were her scars-
painted perfectly upon her chest like
a reverie flowing to her sadness
 
scars are proof of pain and pain is
proof of sorrow,
no sorrow could compare...Read More

Why can't Governments run companies
perhaps it's because you have to much power
Companies need to able to stand alone

Prevalent Appearing Horn Tattoo Poems

Before she became much older,
Tattoo appeared on her shoulder;
If body bare,
Would stare;
What we should do is scold her.

We all were afraid of a family feud,
On her arm she had been tattooed;
We read,
Never bled,
Seen so clearly viewed...Read More

We drink to Life. L'chaim. Summer smiles
In Leah's eyes, June sunlight gently glowing.
The glass waits on the earth, bowl, base, and stem 
Remembering. Then, shards beneath 
My foot. Then, Mazel tov, the guests all cry. 
God send you many sons....Read More

Despair Eats From A Cold Plate

Despair eats from a cold plate
It knows nothing except to fill its belly
In this never-ending jaunt to Morden Lane
Stenhouse Street and Swanscombe Road
Drop another dollar bill on the counter
Watch the waitress bend down to get...Read More

My father’s arm wrapped around my shoulder
I am safe happy and secure
A fast car like a greyhound chasing the hare
Faster we go we are free to go anywhere

Living in the shelter 
My father drinks all-day
My stolen youth working in a...Read More

From my memory and from endless maps
I recreated my homeland to write newly upon it
And on the twenty first day, God rested for months
To ensure the world could shine darkly

The February sun shone mercilessly
As the only thing that could kill...Read More

The Stars and Moon had long been friends
    But this was set to change.
As the Moon just up and walked away
    Moving swiftly out of range.
And what was left was dark and void

MY LOVE

The young lady who is my love
Is certainly a cut above

She outshines all other women
Next to her, they begin dimming

She is my joy and my great hope
Without her near me, I just mope

But when I have her on my...Read More

A Hard Beginning

The cough continues. 
My head... aches, 
but there are needles in my eyes, 
that will not stop poking my lids. 
Everything hurts today, 
that did not hurt yesterday. 
Today all things that hurt 
yesterday, have found new 
purpose...Read More

Mattress and roses
A great day in Cascais sunlit and moderately cold.
We are changing a mattress the new one was easy to handle
But the old was too heavy we need someone with
Arm muscles like Hercules and he was healthy.
 
I was...Read More

But cops don't deceive
Will take a pic to show how it could be
