Dead End Street
Once, when I was young – another writer,
A poet and poetry lover, someone undiscovered…
She (it could have been he since I only knew
Pen names that faded from my memory once
The words had left their imagery)…
Anyway, she or he… told me that my poetry,
Yes, MY...

Dramatic Monologue
Dead End StreetDead End Street
He is waiting in the dark
In the smoky dark under the railway sidings.
He is nervous in the black
In the black of the black slag piles.
He lights a cigarette and breathes out
His breathing rapid and expectant.
The victim is on his way
On his way to...

Cut on a Dead End StreetI got off the bus after a hard day at work
A storm had knocked out every street light
In the gloom of despair, I saw a shadow lurk
My fear of darkness reached a new height
Two blocks to walk until I'd reach my home
but oh, how my...

Dead-end StreetDown the desolation of a dead-end street,
Lost love's whisper, a heartbeat's retreat.
Echoes of laughter, now silenced and cold,
The tale of a journey, a story untold.
Gone are the riches, the glittering gold,
Faded dreams in a tale that unfolds.
Job's embrace, a fleeting...

Dead End Street
At the dead-end street or cul-de-sac stands a tall silver lamp pole,
And a portable basketball hoop. I wish I could say there lives not a single soul.
What if the lamp pole sat on a game board on City property?
As fast as this little town is...

Dead End StreetA dead end street like road to hell
A burning bright flame, you can tell
A deep pitfall with no way out
It takes your soul without a doubt
A sharp sickle of death awaits
To put some dead souls in the crates
Towards the...

After the Dead End Street
For a new job one day, I drove fast.
I was late and the city was vast.
With no GPS,
I just had to guess
how to get there as minutes flew past.
Some shortcuts I tried. Time so fleet
I swore wouldn’t see me be beat.
Aha, it is here
I cried...

Limerick
On a Dead End StreetOn a dead end street, I parked my feet
Predetermined by me, myself, and eye.
Laughing at my silliness. Running in the same circle.
A loop that others called out.
I ignored them.
He’s gone they said. Kaput. It was more than a hint.
But there was no note.
Don’t leavers write...
