I can hear Thermopylae beckoning me upon my return
Leonidas’ voice calls me forward to battle with hardened pride

Time’s grains shifting bellowing out the past I have lived
And I am of that past…I can touch the echoes of who I was

I remember the summers heat as...

King Leonidas 300 and Counting

It was 480 BC
King Leonidas with 300 Spartan warriors held Thermopylae Pass
Fought against the vast immortals horde of Persian forces
Lasted and endured the Xerxes army
3 days with 4,000 allied strong for Greece 
Resisting the first 2 days in mighty battle
With only...

Trumpets and clay-pot lanterns were the weapons that God told Gideon to use in defeating the Midanites and Amalekites (numerous as locusts). God cut Gideon's army down the 300 men, obviously the victory would be in God's hands alone.  My poem below are lanturnes...

I loved you 
I loved you 
I loved you 
Like rain in July
rolling across heated streets
Dancing with the trees
With each successive gulp
Of thunder
The Sky breaks free
Leaving no piece of dry land
But like the rain
It came and went 
Leaving only a reminder in the 
Air that...

Over 300 puddles of Sudbury lakes

once scraped by a glacier in hundreds of shapes.

Now filled with fresh water for everyones taste

like playing or boating wherever they're placed.

Some fish them or ski them in winter or summer.

Ski Doo them; Sea Doo them and bring them in...

Ted liked to ride the rodeo,
it made him feel alive inside,
but he never had that much luck
taking bulls on eight-second rides.
He wanted to reign like his friends,
take home some of the prize money,
so he doubled-down and he placed,
made the top three regularly.
Still, he did not...

...Sophia was a novelist,
and her first book, a surprise smash.
she rubbed elbows with litearti,
had pretensions to be high class.
They praised her novel so, so much,
even called her the next Bronte,
Sophia started to believe it,
said her next book would blow them away.
That next book was hyped...

In Sparta, we take care of our own.

We will die before we are done.

Shields to bash, spears to gash,
from hell to oblivion.

We fight for Peloponnesia and the Polis 
with blood and phalanx, 
till the battle is won.

The women are warriors 
who also bear us daughters...

An ode to my career less writing career,
The slightly altered vocabulary,
And the advanced insanity-
My brain pulses with,
My victory,
Is unheard of,
My sense of rational mentality decays,
Subtly with each passing note,
Every scribble,
Every completed piece,
Every outpouring,
Of the soul....

Knock the pins over.
Just roll the ball down the lane.
Then you have a strike.
Try for twelve strikes in a row,
you will have a perfect game.
