Krummes Holz gibt auch gerades Feuer    
Crooked logs make straight fires [Work with what you have.]
 
Downcast eyes scan; the larger fear’s in deeds.
Germany thrives on the allied dollar 
having culled the herd; they bank euro collared.
I, remnant of the tribe of...

All I Want For Christmas
All I want for Christmas is some false teeth
Last set were taken by a dirty stinkin' thief
Came into my bedroom, twas bold as brass
Were soaking overnight in a dirty old glass

Old false teeth had been with me for quite a while
When thief took them he...

A Little Light To Cope With Life
The light of Day and the darkness of night are like Metaphors 
For the light in our lives, but also the darkness where upset occurs 
Glimpses of light are like hope through life's struggle 
Just like that little light at the end of the dark...

No Class
On a mountain pass
A passing ass
Ate some grass
Causing gas
As bold as brass
The riding lass
Told the flatulent ass
You have no class




This is intended to be monorhyme, where I live all the ending words have hard 'a' as in gas
of course if you are in the south...

These Are Mountains
These Are Mountains 

Trying, failing, 
     second best, 

In front, behind, 
     betwixt, beyond

The also-rans 
     and hard pressed, 

Are destinations 
     of which I'm fond.

In love, out of...

Skedaddle
Skedaddle 

Sneakily 
incognito 
Tip-toe 
to her chamber door, 
Whereupon 
it was ajar,
Never ajar 
was it before. 

Cloak and dagger 
I did intrude 
Across her 
chamber floor,
Thereupon 
she was asleep,
Never asleep 
was she before. 

Bold as brass 
I did inquire 
If I could see 
of her...

Honeybee
From where I hover, I can see
pink, white and yellow in the grass
A lily dear enticing me
exhaling perfume as I pass
Her dainty face a weather-glass--
Then humming low sings from my soul
as I alight as bold as brass
and steal sweet morsels from her bowl....

Denial
Night time rituals, that little space of time,
Cathartic relief, along with sweat and grime,
Tribulations of the day wash away, too,
Pool down the sink hole, tomorrow starts brand new.

Night time rituals, bring with them repose:
Weary souls long their weary eyes to close.
Strange to remember, I once...

Katherine Remembers
Oh it was so long ago, now, in the time before television.
It was a more genteel time.
Women used to do the housework and read to the children.
Their husbands went off to save the world,
and their wives stayed home pushing the merry-go-rounds.
I remember we had a...

Sonnet 243
Spring sunshine, idly sparks our souls with freezing glow,
Still shy to shine, as winter's callous ghost refus'd to bow.
Yet bold like brass, thy brightness beams unto our frosty eyes,
Reluctant still, yet cannot help but gaze at newly bluest skies,
The earlybirds, arise once more to heed...

The Crow

He's cursed by men from sea to sea,
He's hunted and exiled.
He's hated...

As Memes Diffuse
Mirror, mirror from the wall to online
vanity declares, pick a piece of mine.
Respond, rewrite, re-integrate the theme;
This contest prompt is becoming a meme.

Culture shifts slowly; one stanza at a time. 
Apprentices with reason and rhyme
compose on the edge of vulgar and crass
pieces that are cheeky...

North Star
Come to me on rainy days,
with rainbows in your hair.
Come to me in many ways,
in weather foul or fair.
Come to me in Broadway lights
and strut upon your stage.
Come to me in big sound bites,
let words run off the page.
Come to me on windy days,
when banshees...

Abandon All Grace Here
I wore my sins like velvet lace,
Then set your garden all ablaze.
I never once said I was kind--
I only promised not to mind.

The chandelier you loved? It fell.
I laughed and called it “doing well.”
Your rules were quaint, but far too tight--
I loosened them with fire...
