out of place.

The Willow Never Weeps Alone
within the parting of titian stained skies
a wisp of crimson elapses from sight
as a gossamery wind amplifies
lullabies falling limpid in hushed night

beneath the willow, i...

All these thoughts running around my head in a sadistic fashion 
sitting me down and force feeding misery to the shallow doll that is me.

This Bereft Poet
I heard echoes of scurrilous snarls, 
from my conscience as it spoke
contemptible remarks aimed at me.
What shame those words delivered.

"Fatuous one, why does your hand...

A poem, lovely as a compost pile,
One lingers, sifts the elements awhile.

At first unclear, not all is evident;
Sharp images emerge as time is spent.

Though pieces,...

A Short Road To War
A white hot finger points your way,
pushing air aside with each advancing message.
The renting of air with thunder clap abroad
makes too much noise, chattering like...
