It's with great sadness and a lot of discomfort that I write
about an issue that needs addressing and brought to light
Several poets have long known
about a poet whose cover is blown
and cheats by entering their own contests. That's not right.


What would you think of a...

Floating towards new moon--
a blanket flecked in diamonds
slips over the horizon.
A sliver of light over
azure silks blown in the wind....

The cloudscape changes 
and floods excited crowds of sunlight 
on a patch of playful sea, 
turning fat green hills 
into toyful bumping buses. 

The wind turns her back, 
shows me her cold white legs, 
striding away. 

The land is blackgreen, 
the sky is dark coffee;...

They decry their gun birthright 
is to defend their home,
protect what they own
A government tank might come rolling
down the road one day
New Roman centurions coming to take
their beloved metal sons away
Give unto Caesar the lobby coins,
and he will let you keep your guns
Ask for the...

A summer breeze blew love their way
 With sweet caresses their passion grew

 Eventide brought lavender skies, as waves
 kissed expectant shores, sunset
 painted  brilliant hues 

 In silhouettes they strolled along
 As they watched the moon arise
 Soon they paused to share a...

The wind howls, breaking branches all about with cracks
Roaring like a racing train down the long metal tracks.
The wind blows lightly gliding a paper boat floating by
So quickly noticed, then gone with the blink of an eye.
The wind whistles in the grass, blowing the drifting...

  Dandelion
Bright yellow flowers

Its delicate seeds
Blown by the wind

Some teenagers 
Blown by the wind
Landing uncertain

Is it true? I thinketh not
Is it a lie? or a well-planned plot
Did the World explode today
And all that dwelt there blown away
Drifting along in the air
To a place that's kind and fair
Only spirits can we see
Everything feels so heavenly....

It’s a’ hundred an’ ten,
'Neath the shade of my chin,
An’ the prairie’s cracked like old leather.

Looks like my skin,
Where a boys face once had been,
The years; how they do gather?

Time’s been cruel to the Staked Plains,
Once gorged by ancient rains,
Now seized in her dusty wrath.

I want to be blown away,
I want to be swept off my feet.
I want to be the one who makes it hard for you to breath.
I want to be lost in love,
I want to be a dream come true.
I want to be scared of just...

Stand here crucified with sin
Pummeled by the howling wind

Arms stretched wide, just you and me
Thrown to the mercy of the sea

Torn open to the blackest ocean's
Hypnotic, murky, moody motion 

Pulled to the edge and feeling small
Drawn here by your ghostly call

Rooted there on ancient stone
Petrified,...

The fairytale is all over. 

He tried to no avail to breathe 
life into his moribund romance,
so he's blown out the candle
keeping the fading flame.

He's been fighting to keep it 
from dimming to a tapestry 
of smoke stringing up the ceiling
But what's the point?

What's the...
