No echo of man lingers
Screaming in silent

Haiku-Tanka-Haiku
5,7,5 -- 5,7,5,7,7 -- 5,7,5

Evil brews, no rules,
looming witches ride their brooms,
demon eyed ghouls drool.

Potions have been brewed,
voodoo dolls alter my mood.
Serial killers,
dead become walking dead,
I feel like I'm in "Thriller"

Vampires, Ware-wolves,
Kruger and Micheal Meyers,
stalking to retire..

Poverty grot and grime
Have existed throughout time
A place where intellect and truth cannot shine
All of this is embodied on Isle 49

Segregated due to types and shapes
Men acting like thoughtless apes
Not even allowed to eat the smallest of grapes
All of this is embodied in Aisle 49

The...

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – Part III - 49

The ONLY god there is Is there in your eyes
Close your eyes at sundown Who awaits at dawn
Infinite grandiose Multi-Verse never dies

Physico-chemical bio-logicalize
Infinitesimal these laws never born
The ONLY god there is Is there in your...

49.
So the purple pen bleeds
Like the yelling drunk
Who has had 4 hours to drink 
next to the pyramids of lemons
In huge margarita glasses

Blind, deaf, dumb
Sit and think on possibilities
Determine the odds, and plane this field
Your own divinity lies in the plasma of your veins
That may...

I cannot tell you that I love you, still…
I’ll love you how good wisdom says I may!
I’ll take our friendship for the better pill,
And put romances in the drawer, to stay.
It seems, though tragedies do dog us all,
Still, happiness resides even in the dark!
For diamonds...

Everyone will turn older
And your up to bat
Bases are all loaded
As the crowd roars Jack
3 balls, 2 strikes 
and 49 on his back
Final game, final inning
And still down by two
The coach gives the signal,
You know what to do
Oh great, should he walk,
with a run guaranteed
He...

Sandpaper eyes
Force me to sleep
Alive and alone
In an open prarie
My wicked thoughts
To dream away
Thinking of ways
To begin my demise
A slow painful death
I wish to pursue
Not a gunshot
Or a fire
Just wretched words
Spat from his mouth
To make me think
And finally die...

Has Summer gone? Oh God, she was divine
Those crazy kisses, that incessant heat
Last seen by The Red Lion on the street
And off to Swindon on the 49 -
Another bus is coming, so it’s fine
That Autumn makes an old heart skip a beat
Her hazy colours, and...

I
As I re-read Mark - along with an online church Bible study about 1,000 km away - I share my surprise at what I missed on previous readings. The above verse, Mk 9:49 says, "For everyone shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall...
