Winter's Relief
Let winter come 
And freeze the sky 
No more will shadows cast  
Let showers turn to heaps of snow 
With gardens hidden deep 

Let working cease 
Migration fly  
Let herds to safety dash 
Farmers idle, fires glow 
No fields left to reap 

My...

Premium Member Spring Is Not All Rainbows and Butterflies
Ah, Spring: each laden cloud more rain delivers,
that soaks our clothes and in our new shoes sloshes.
Our streets blockaded thanks to pregnant rivers,
with mud tracked in the house from kids' galoshes.

Ah, weeds: the bane of ev'ry gardener!
Unwanted life that fouls our garden's bliss.
Dear mother nature,...

Sinai Campaign, 1967

“Operation Focus” sees Israeli jets streaking, 1
Attacking Arab fighter jets and air force bases, 2
Thus attaining dominance over Middle Eastern skies,
While IDF ground divisions launch into action. 3

Israeli tanks (Pattons, Shermans, and Centurions)
Blitzkrieg Arab defensive installations, 4
Cloud sands bellow in their wake as...

The Smile
Her indifference was merely a facade
   she bore a staggering smile, simple and un-flawed
         rampant and with ease she displayed the fraud
 A toying deception lay openly hidden across her face 
   and...

Special Occasion
2/28/21

Dang it
Still doing the same s***
On a planet that is overpopulated
Always getting faded
And intoxicated
Often facing Goliath, call me David
I won and was elated
I also loss and got frustrated
My ego rose or it deflated
The one continually shaded
And blamed quick
By those that are jaded
They're amazed if
I actually...

Gender Rolls
I am a baker in a quaint, small town,
for my artisan breads the people come ’round,
Tuscan and baguettes by the dozen are sold,
but most people come here for my Gender Rolls.

I came up with them on a cool day last year,
a batch I’ve been baking...

Carry On, Oh Dangling Daughter of Faulty Freefall
hello to the unknown pretender
goodbye to the overexposed defender
all my love to the taker, but never the resender

all the darkness has sharp edges
all the cavities have roadblocks for decoration
all the lesions have mercilessly given pledges
all the blackheads have blockaded all attempted restoration

i offer you flowers,...

The Ever Changing, Sands of Time
You came to be the rain
I was always yearning for
scratching at my surface
until I bleed no more

I remember sailing once
on a cloud around your essence
how peacefulness crept over me
every time you bless my presence

as the rain slows down
so did my hope
of ever taking part
on a...

Destiny Breaks Though Leaps of Faith
You came to be the rain
I was always yearning for
scratching at my surface
until I bleed no more

I remember sailing once
on a cloud around your essence
how peacefulness crept over me
every-time you blessed my presence

as the rain slows down
so did my hope
of ever taking part
on a journey...

Praying In Soft Seclusion
praying in soft seclusion 
loving the love that is lovely
accepting the kiss of assurance that there is another way to think
once i had a one track mind
now i possess a lucrative locomotive that motivates
the company i keep revitallizes Me
my heartbeat no longer makes me sneeze...

Ode To Tsunami
Roaring anger through great seven seas 
erupted as spiteful giant water columns 
Swept off  fragile nations to oceans 
You ! the most cruel catastrophe of all 
Turned suburbs along seaboards to graves 
Naked bodies decayed among their own rubbles 
Once  paradises changed to...

Candlelight Mystery
candlelight mystery
looking out the window
blockaded by friendship
but thankful for the same
wanting to get on the other car of the train
yet being choked by the fear of past present pain
lavender aromatherapy conversation
apple cinnamon delight
pumpkin spice ambiance
clear waters constantly flowing
winter candy apple amusement
sensual amber effervescence 
though the...

Premium Member Two faced science
I trusted all doctors, thought they know best
So many years learning, a noble quest
They want to do well by helping you
But from any kind of knowledge, evil can brew.

Scott was a dentist, a noble career
But to ethical rules he did not adhere
If you sat in...

This One Girl
I know this one girl
She hides behind her big smile
She makes her self seem brave and strong
But on the inside she is crying
She doesn't show how much shes hurting
She bottles up all her feelings
But how can you not see the hurt in her eyes
How can...

Premium Member Insurrection - 2021
Although we had feared it,
we watch in disbelief,
our country’s Capitol,
symbol of democracy,
invaded by those wishing
to overturn the government.

Throngs of seditionists in
MAGA hats clog the streets
Of Washington, DC,
The likes of which we
have not seen except in
third world countries.

Frightened residents
have boarded up 
and huddle in their homes,...
