An Eternity I
Stood upright, between two roads,
On a thin metal rail,
A solitary, brown coloured bottle 
Of beer,                              ...

Oak
[in Rhyme Rhupunt: a,a,a,b c,c,c,b]

At water’s edge there danced below,
amid the ripple and the flow,
royal blue and sun aglow—
and ragged clouds in limpid sky.

Standing tall and stately there,
swaying in the languid air,
a mighty oak in quiet prayer—
and not a soul to reason why.

Long ago when...

The Spoken Word
Words were spoken 
And the blind saw
Just words spitted
And the lame got their walk
Lazarus in his sleep of death
Rotten and smelling
Woke up for words of life
Had called him

In my tongue the word says
Sleeps the power of life and death
Hidden in the life of words

In the...

Grammar Series - the Preposition
THE STRANGE CASE OF THE PREPOSITION 

The preposition is a peculiar case
No use on its own by itself with no function
It needs an attachment to have any place
Alone would decease, be due extreme unction

Now some words may act without others at hand
Such as Nouns as...

Male Chauvinism Alive and Well
Male Chauvinism Alive and Well

By  Elton Camp

Though it’s unquestionably very wrong 
To a lower life they say women belong

Their intelligence is far less then men
Was so from when humans did begin

Equal treatment they need not expect
Nor to be accorded the usual respect

Some men privately...

That curious Roman official

   named "Lentulus" with foresight recorded

   his description of a Man controversial.

   And His name too, for prosperity accorded

   That Man who the Roman so aspired

   was named Jesus, that Man of...

Dear Daughter
Avast emotional gulf manifested; courtesy
series of unfortunate events; sundered
biologically accorded, cherished, enshrined
paternal bond; resultant dereliction defies,
justifies, ratifies...dissonance; unbearable
hindsight excoriates impropriety reviewing

dirty deeds done dirt cheap; impossible mission
to excise indelibly etched psychological
impacted repercussions upon mine fountainhead;
weighing excruciating deserved self loathing;
permanently deplorable depravity yoked;
unyielding choke hold, no...

A Senior Moment - Part Dos
written months ago commemorating 
the graduation from a vaunted charter school 
in Bend, Oregon of thy lovely youngest,
this papa could not attend -

Inexplicable Memory Quirkily Unhinged
A rhetorical question finds me asking 
(to no one in particular) why I recall 
the names of grade school teachers 
approximately fifty years ago (whose 
names listed below), when the need

to retrieve necessary information due
ring examinations (less time ago) 
often found me seized with sudden...

Premium Member Just Living Inthe Moment---Picture Perfect


I sit watching the sparrows at play,
They flit and flirt, and then fly away.
No trouble rests on their shoulders,
Their concern is just living today.


My thoughts would be like a sparrow’s,
Delighting in the moments accorded.
For tomorrow is always a question,
Today, peace is the trophy awarded.

The Phenomenal 'Naija Oyinbo' - For Patricia Omoqui 'Thought Dr'
Now, I know the barriers of the skin colour are the ones 
Imposed by the human mind 
The aesthetic of a man aren't embedded in his possession 
But they are embedded in his ability to touch souls in this whirl wind of divided culture
