A handsome man, a valiant son,
John Kennedy was he.
A man who rose to President
with civil rights the key.

Who can forget the many days
like Camelot they seemed,
when all eyes were on Washington,
they passed just like a dream.

Ah, we remember Jacqueline
a Vassar deb was she,
who walked with...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 22
The great Sabbath day descended, though not in my heart and mind
On this new day,
I imagined rays of God’s light shining generously upon the mountains,
Pools of living waters gurgling, and winds gently rustling trees
Wishing for the simple to come rescue me from this troublesome pit
The...

Random Thoughts *22* Double Haiku To Double Senryu
Natures fist, such bliss
climb the weeping willow tree!
so inspiring

Natures kiss, wet lips
clouds surround, I imagine.
Poetry firing.



We embrace, she twists
grooving to R&B tones.
Dancing, dry humping.

Her elegant grace,
amazing and entrancing.
Just look at her face...

Being 22
And all the things that happen to you
You ain't got a clue where this will take you
But it's the best age, it's really so true

Falling in love
You catch dreams like a dove
You can see your hopes in the sky above
But you trade them again...

Premium Member Plucking the Poison Parrot Number 22
The poison parrot is repulsed by me, hates my art, laughs at my poems.
sneers when I enter my imaginary world, pokes fun at it.
She throws roadblocks into my mood zone,
destroys my great ideas as fast as they enter my dendrite alley.

You think you are something!...

Promises 2-22-10
Promise that when night fades, 
and the daylight peeks into our hearts, 
that when they tell you to stay away, 
we wont ever be apart, 
promise that youll love me, 
even when i wont love myself, 
and promise that when daylight breaks, 
our love will...

Another year has come and another birthday has arrived

Trying to make it out so I...

22 Shorts In a Barnyard Vise
Have you ever thought back and remembered a time,
when poor judgment nearly cost you… your prime.
There were fifty-22 cal bullets in the ammo box I found,
 mishandling Remington’s bullets… could put you in the ground.

Putting the box in my pocket, thinking what should I do?
Squeeze...

I stand on top of the opinion of the mighty powers above 
Staring into the eyes of their dominion 
Keeping myself armed and fighting 
In mind
In the order of a new world
In the order of new eyes
My spirit is old
In the order...
