Premium Member 'temporary Halt'
Today might be "that day" 
When playing the victim 
Might have to end 

You need to face the challenge 
Head on 
Hiding behind the frontage of 'I can't' 
Uttering the words 'I am not ready'
Won’t always work

Somehow you need to try again 
Somehow you need...

Wonderful Worthing Promenade Part 1
Five miles of neatly spaced suckered palm planted 
Bustling promenade,
Not withstanding a provincial cafe-culture 
Of restaurants and exciting little bars,
Enhance upon regal elegance of the crammed hotels
Regency period style facades;
Their fashionable shadows slowly lifting and slowly falling
Across the lines of deferentially, slowly moving cars.

Trundling on...

Yoruba Holy Communion
Young as just a week,
He was wrapped in a flannel.
His tender feet were shoeless -
Today was his appointed time;
 His feet must dialogue with gods.

The frontage was kind
To the pews and table.
The priest stood before the gods,
His grey hairs vouched for his age.
He opened the...

Eating With Bigfoot
I tapped into my messages; the gas 
company wanted a piece of me, and 
my ex wanted to know when the 
month’s alimony  would be arriving.

But it was the last message which 
caught my attention the most; Big Foot, 
the wrestler, wanted to meet...

Katrina Waves

Draws her strength internally
Boasting strong hosed waves ashore
Headed inland she sweeps all asunder 
Vanishing in a breath’s count 
‘Frontage’ lays flattened now
Waved ‘kaput’!Katrina 
Drawing her core strength 
Boasting strong hosed waves ashore 
Head inland she sweeps all asunder 
Vanishing in a breath’s count...

Who suggests a trip back...rides to this bit of nostalgia in the middle years of the Great Depression aboard a Chicago elevated train, "the El." We hurdle head-long above asphalt blanketed streets that are determined to out distance each high moving carrier. No matter how...

Building a House On Sand
Building a House on Sand

By Elton Camp

Alabama has some frontage on the Gulf Coast
Where the risk of storm damage is the most

People with money will build right on the beach
Instead of where a hurricane isn’t likely to reach

Then for all of us, house insurance rates...

A Monastery
The clad ivy charms, warms the walls,
The frontage that welcomes the fold and their outsiders,
Specifying age and strength of delicate beauty, 
Which accounts for that non-existent love: 
History sides with them, is by their shoes, 
Shows no retrogressive signs or playbacks, 
For the aestheticism in...

A Goose Tale Is Not a Gooseberry
A goose in a noose got loose today. At last. At times he had watched as bodies of his fellow feathers had been brought out of the shed having walked in just fine. On the promise of a treat. And then crushed. Defeat. Strung. He...

A Well-Balanced Beer
A Well Balanced Beer

A well-balanced beer may cost this gal dearly
It’s a cabaret act the tax guys said clearly
They caught her “act” in a bar late one night
And the way she poured beer they said was “all right!”
She would balance a glass, sometimes 3, sometimes...

The Bride Wept
... And the bride came out
With a velvet wafting above her head
At her mother’s feet she knelt ,
She looked at her face and wept :


Mother : daughter of massive rock
In frontage of the envious ;
They wake up and can not headbutt it.
Today I will leave...

God's Special Love
GOD's SPECIAL LOVE
During mix up of this recipe
My ink freeze carrying a fragile
Destiny.
Sending songs of hanger to
My Lord,
I need to be part of this conventional
list for all His special Love,
Father Benjamin Franklin and 
Pa Da Vinci,
Nelson Mandela the political
Dealer,
Leaders I search for resembles.
You know Islam...

My Persona
My Persona

Today I built myself a Persona,
My Identity has become a façade,
I thought it was time I had one,
Concealment shouldn’t be too hard.

It’s a kind of portico, facia or frontage,
A cover-up or clever disguise.
Smoke screened by veneered pretence,
You won’t see what’s in front of your...
