Poets Are Us
"Poets are Us"
The blood dripped
off each piranha's
sharpened fang
acquiescing
compliant
with tragic complacency
keep it neat and clean
within the margins
no detours
stick like Teflon
to the poetic rules
virtuous and unsoiled

pristine are us
sanctimonious sugared pus
we live for
accolades are us

Poets are us.

Electric Dreams of the Sleeping Orgononrevert video settings at 1080. Best watched in full screen mode.
“Electric Dreams of the Sleeping Orgonon”
A tangerine dream
came out of the blue
cloud busting citron burst
electric dreams
of the sleeping
Orgonon
raised a little death
le petit mort
by mesmerism
hysterical paroxysm
still life
exists

The big bang theory is that just some host
Cause I believe everything came to be by my GOD and the HOLY...

QuestSeeking and finding my own self has been my constant quest,
Like a traveler in the desert, my thirst has no rest;
Digging deep, my strength gets drenched, leaving me pitiable,
Wells within seem empty and void as though lamentable!
A name I have, for namesake, though so preciously...

Random Thoughts On the PandemicI would like to talk about the coronavirus which has caused so many of us to agonize
I will stay away from politics except to say…it has made some people act unwise.
Instead I would like to stay closer to home…after all home is where I’ve had...

Springtime In the WhirlwindsWinter roars back,
May slips from view,
April has lost its anchor
in these storm tossed sky’s.
Songbirds scrabble under
canopies still too thin
for cover.
None look up but huddle
in puffer jackets recently stowed.
It snowed all day,
now the wind is shoveling daffodils
out of the soggy earth.
Mice nibble roots
brought up from...
